LIFOILI TUG CINS2 RADON AND A 'PICAS. :LIT. la not that Mulhall'a endorsement of the date—put on ycur specs ?—I cannot soy. I never put any mark on the paper for the purposes of the trial. lam not sure that the letter was whole when Crony got it. Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., said that tLe witness could not be permitted to read the fragment cf a letter, muiland and undirected. Mr. Manley, Q.C., said that the document produced was merely a copy. Witness to Mr. Martley I remember Daniel Crotty speaking to me in September, 1812, about two bills (1801., NV.). Upon that occasion Crotty told me that Mr. O'Shea had made a demand upon him for two bills, and he seemed to be • good deal thopleased at it. He showed me a paper, I read is. Crotty spoke to me about it. I think he had a eommunicati la with Mr. O'Shea after he had the fint communication • ith me. Crotty appeared to he very angry. He asked me would I interfere with O'Shea fur him. I don't know whether he had the letter a day or some hours. I said I would do anything at all I could to oblige him. I went to O'Shea by the desire of Crotty. This was the 18th September. It might have been 12 or 1 o'clock. Told O'Shea exactly the communi cation I had with Crotty. I told him that Crotty read a letter fur me which he had sent him, that he was touch die pleased at it. I told him that it was a letter for money. I also should have told you I told O'Shea that Crotty said that Mulhall said to him he could not recover on the bills without the bond. He then toad me he would give me as much money if I would dr,w upon Lyng, who was with me at the time, as would take up the bill. I went back to my own house. I perfected his bat, and I got the money. I told Crotty that Mr. O'Shea had consented to give me the money upon my bill to take up the other two. Crotty consented at once, and was very glad that Mr. O'Shea would give me the mosey. He said, "Drew the bill, go with it to the bank, and get the money." I took the bill to the bank, went back to Dan Crony's house, and gave it to him. I don't remember anything else said to me by O'Shea in reference to the money. Be fore and after the bill was drawn I conversed with Crotty about the judgment. He stated to me that Mr. Mulhall had said he could nut recover upon the judgment unless he first discharged the two bills, and be also stated he would always hold me liable for the amount. I handed him the money in the presence of Wm. Lyag. After that I went with Crotty to Mr. Mulhall. Heard Crotty give directions to him. He handed him the two bills, and desired him to sue for the amount—to mark execution for 3801., and have it put in force. He left the bills with him. I came away. Nothing further occurred. I think Lyeg was with us at the time. I cannot say when I saw the bills next. I don't think I saw them afterwards. I reießect the time of Crotty's death. I know Mr. Richard Crotty. Daniel Crotty gave me his I 0 U for 3671. Bs. 6d. I told Mr. Richard Crotty that I had an I 0 U of his relative, pasa-d on the 21st Sept. When I asked for the 1 0 U from Daniel Crotty he said, you will not be called upon for the amount of my bill in the bank—the money arising from the execution will ray you ; you may make your mind easy upon that. I said to him—that may be the ease-1 will nut question it for • moment, but I would line to have it ; my bother might ask me why I put my name upon a stamp or bill for so large an amount and I would like to have an answer for him : he then signed the lOU. I wrote it myself. I had the IoUin my possession up to the time of his death. I after. wards gave the lOU to Mr. Richard Crotty. lam sure I said to him the account is now at an end against your relttive, I have an I 0 LI and I thick 1 should give it up to you. He told me then, as far as he was concerned, he would stand in the shoes of Richard Crotty. He said he would protect the bank or me—he would protect any one to whom the money was due, or words to that effect; it was 'repeated very frequently afterwards. When I drew the bill I was able to pay it. (Bill handed to witness.) This is the renewal of the bill which I dal w. Cross-ezamined by Mr. Whiteside, Q C.—l know Father Dempsey I have dined and drank in hie company. I am not married. I have some family in the town of Carlow. In my young days I had a son. lie has no place. He is living in the county Carlow, I believe. I did not see him for some time. 1 knew Mr. O'Shea and Mr. Mulhall. I dined yesterday at the Angel Hotel in company with Mathew Byrne, Toot NH+, Mr. Ceffey, and the Rev. Father Dempsey. Lyng was not there. Mr. Mulhall did not tell me whether Lyug was going to be a witness or not. I did not see Mr. Morrogh to-day. I have been living in Carlow twelve or fourteen days. I took no part in the election IVh I had influence I used it in favour of Mr. Saaleir. I will not call myself a partisan. I used influence for him, and would again. I have not been a voter since 1847. lam not afraid of my brother. He is a big man, not as bog as you (A laugh). 1 knew Daniel Crotty very well. 1 did little matters for him. I got money from him. I did pay him all. I never borrowed anything over 61. from him. I passed an I 0 IS for him, which was cashed by Dan Crotty. He died in Browne-street. I was then the evening before. I did not pay Father Dempsey on foot of the bill. Dan Crotty was fond of drink ; tolerably fair. I have known Dowling mere than 20 yea:s. Dan Crotty was food of him. He sometimes went to his house. My brother supported Sadleir in 1852. On the last election Mr. Sadleir had a large majurity against Major Layard. I did not know from my own knowledge that Dowling resolved to vote against Mr. Sadleir. I did not often go 'to Sadleir's bank. Before the election of 18.52 1 was there upon two or three oceasious. Lyng was never there with one. I never cashed a bill in the bank save and tempt the present bill. This was the only bill I passed. I was not particularly anxious that Mr. Dowling should vote for Mr. Sadleir. I would call it a crime to arrest a man for a debt which did not exist. Before the election I was talking to O'Shea about the bond. I never heard O'Shea ask Crotty fur the bond. Oche , crake to me shoat Dowling's bond before I got the priest. He did not try to get the Wad, sad Crotty re fused it. Dan Crotty end I were talking with O'Shea several times before I got the bond—a fortnight betre. In my hearing O'Shea dad not ask Crony to give him the bond. Lyog was with me. O'Shea did not ask it in our presence, but there was s conversation between him and Crotty relative to it. The suljnt of du bond was intro duced several times during the conversation. It was re peatedly said that Crotty held Dowlinw's bond. I did net hear any talk about arresting Dawlorg on that dry. He did not talk of framing and glazing the bond. During the hour and a half Crotty told O'Shea that 7tiol. were due upon the bond, I 'wear that he had a bond for TOOL, and that bond was on demand. It I said that D. Crotty told O'Shea that 700/. were due upon the band it would tint he true. I never got the bond. I may have seen O'Shea after during the week. I know Multhall. I saw him during the week, and I knew that Dowling was going to vote against Mr. Sadleir. It was in my brother's house in Dillow-street where I arranged to go fur the bond. My brother oas lying asleep on the sofa. I did not Ley to Father Dempsey it would be a good thing to prevent Dowiing from voting at the election. Question repeated—l think we did say it would be a good thing to get Dowling arrested to get Crotty paid, to take him in fact out of the hands of Dowling. I don't swear that we said it would be tor the sake of justice to get Dowling arrested. Pat t of the tiansaction was to prevent Dowling from votiog—(laughter)—the second consideration was; hut the primary was to get Crotty's debt. I heard the words primary and secondary one hundred tir.•.ee, and I think I am sufficiently intelligent to use the phrases. Might the secondary be primary, and might the primary be nothing at all ? No. Dm the priest agree with you? He did. Did you go straight from that spot to get the hoed ? I did. Had you drank anything ? Perhaps a glass of wine, or liquor—oh! ginger, I know. (Laughter.) Witness—Crony ins antly said he would give the bond to the Hey. Farber Dempsey. Ho was as wil.ing to give it as we to get it. Did be, when he (Crotty) gave the bond, say anything about employing a respectable attorney in Dublin ? lam not able to say that, but he gave instructions about haying an attorney. I did not see where Saline put the bond. I did not give an account in writing of my evidence to Mr. Mulhall. I gave ham the heady of it yesterday or to-day. It was after I read Sadleir's evidence that I gave him the heads of my evidence. The great object we load in view was that the matter might be done secretly. It was not what is called stabbing a man in the dank. I did not issue the execution. I gave the bond as I have discrobed, and you may draw your inG rence from it. I had nothing to do with getting the tat:es:ion beyond banding the bond. I know Mr. Pierce Power. I often saw him in Carlow. I em indifferent whether you Cali the house in Denmark street Mr. Morrogh'a or Mr. Sactleir'a. 1 know that Der Power was down in Carle* getting au affidavit from Crony. I know Corkoran. I don't know Rorke. I had no notion that the execution was to come down on the Saturday. I knew there would be no time lost about it. (Laughter) I gave no notice te Dowling that he was going to be arrested. I heard he was arrested. Crotty was pleased that cowling was invited. I will not say highly p:easect. No doubt edit he war pleased. I heard that Dowling was in gaol, and that he could not vote at the election. There was an action byDowling against. Cro:ty. Crotty did not die of delirium' tremens. Whisky was in the house. It was always there. The whisky was not in • closet near the bed.: A Gunter and Father Dempsey attended hint. Mulhall told Crotty in my presence that he should first take up the bills Wore he could proceed. It was Bridget Brennan who attended D. Crotty. That is not the woman living with me. I did not owe one farthing to Crotty, nor he to me. There was no obligation upon me to pay the bill. Would you pay • hitt for me? I would not. (Laugh ter.) lam sure that Lyng way present at the interview with Crotty. It was not O'Shea that prepared the ar nutting of the bill. It was I who paid fur the stamps on both bills. The price of the stamp was Bs. 6d. Lyng lived in a house valued 71. lie could not get the fran chise. --- Are you a classical scholar ? Do you know the meaning of bona fide ? It is a good name. (Laughter) Suppose I took the liberty of calling this transaction an impudent sham, would it not be true ?—le would not. I have • clerk named Hendrickson—a bay about acteoteen years of age. I sent him home to attend market day. If I were pressed for the bill I would pay it. I wish you would make it sure that I never will be called anon to pay it. I never showed the I 0 U to any one. If I WAR cued by the pant to-morrow on the hills, Mr. Richard Crotty would not see me suffer on account of his relative, twcause he is • men of h moor and principle. lam not a man of fortune. I kept my cash in soy driver. Ihi pan life as a sickle manufacturer, and then became a miller. Mysi If and my brother spent upon • mill about twelve to fourteen hundred pound', from 1821 to the present. 1 never asked a complimect from the bank before, thooph Mr. O'Shea asked me if money would he of any use to me, and I refused to take it. After the election of 11417, Mr. O'Shea offered to lend me money to enable me to go into the corn trade, but I told him that I would not accept the money. I do not wish to take upon myself the responsibility 1 of the money. I have a farm of mitten Heti 9. I make 25/. a year over the rent and tzpenses. I tried to be ad mitted an elector out of my brother's house. lam an elector of the county Carlow and county Kildare. The lease you hay • in your hands would sell far 1,000/. to 2,0001. I have 501. Some in my desk, tome in my pocket. I laid out 1401. in twenty. eight gas shares. lam not rich, but I very independent. I never bad a bill but one in my lite. If I were called upon to-morrow to pay the bill 1 could pay it in a week. Div brother is indebted to me I believe one or two hundred pounds. I never heard the word "judg ment" in O'Shea's bank. I did not advance a penny for this case. I did not ensplcy Mr. Mohan. Mr. Mulhall told me that he was attorney in this case. I gave my con sent and was satisfied. He told me this not mmy days ago when the case was 'before the Barons in chamber. I swear that he is my attorney. NVill you pay him a farthhing he ask me I will. Is is not moonshine that you are the real party in this action 1-1 am the nominal party, and it was the Chief Baron pat me into it. (Lsugbter.) The Chief Baron explained to the jury bow it had arises that Vie parties in the action had been made plaintiff and defendant by the court, and why it was that they were of ; opinion that they were the proper liti t tants. Wi t to Mr. Whiteside—Mr. Mulhall told me in court that be 141. my attornty, and I believed him. To Mr. Manley, Q.C.-1 read the evidence of Mr. Sad leir in the Freeman's Journal, but, if I am not out of order, I will say that the evidence read did not change my evidence in the least. There is a mill upon the property of Castle Roe. I paid 2001. for the rent charge. It ia • boos fide rent charge. My gas shares are worth 1401. I hare from 401. to 501. from my farm of Dunrnantgue. My weighing machine is worth 501. • year. The poor rate valuation upon it was at one time 20i. It is now 5/. It is rated by Griffith at 101. To Mr. Whiteside—The garden is not rated at all. It be longs to my brother. 1 wish to ask whether this property is as big as the table It is about eight or ten feet square. It is not much bigger than the table. Did your brother compound with his creditors since he owed you the money ?—No. I am satisfied that he did compound. It was not a year ago that he compounded. To a Juror-1 have been served with an income tax paper. I did not fill it up yet. Will you return 1001. or nil ?-1 wi:l return as little as I eon. _ Mr. Thaddeus O'Shea examined by Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald —I was the manager of the Carlow branch of the Tipperary Joint-stock Bank in July, 1852. I knew the plaintiff and Daniel Crony for some time prior to July, 1852. Mr. Dow ling had transactions at the bank, and bills were renewed for him, to which - Daniel Crotty was a party—either drawer, acceptor, or endorser. These renewal transactiozs bad been going on for some time before 1852. My belief is, that since 1816 they were going on. (The two bills handed to witness.) Those bills were discounted by me, sod trans mitted by me to the head office in Clonmel; from thence they go to Dublin, where they are payable. I had nothing further to do with the bills. These bills were transmitted in the ordinary course to Cloomel. I received the bills back after they came to maturity, as unpaid bills (referred in the letter book to the letter of the 11th September, 1852). I wrote such a letter and signs d it. This is a copy of the original letter. I recollect Hr. Edward Law!, r called upon me at the bank in reference to the two bills alter the Ilth September. He made a communication to me on behalf of Daniel Crony. Lawler asked me to dis count his draft on Wrn. Lyng, for the purpose of enabling him to hand to Daniel Crotty the proceeds of the bill. He also said that the money he would receive from me would be handed to Daniel Crony, and he would apply the money to pay the bills due and lying in the bank. I told bins that I would discount for the purpose that be required the money. I have no recollection et Mr. Edward Lawler having spoken to me about any judgment. Nothing more occurred upon that interview. Lawler came back to the bank on another day. I recollect Edward Lawler bringieg me the bill for 3.571. He asked me to discount it. I diddo so, or gave directions to the cashier to do it. The proceeds of the bill were handed to Lawler. 1 can't recollect that he made any statement in reference to the transaction. 1 hive n 9 recollection of anything having been sail •.0 me by Lawler about a judgment 1 have known Mr. E. Lawler for live or six years. I have known him very well. From what you knew of Mr. Lawler at the time, do you consider that he was good security for 3501. ? Mr. Whiteside objected to this question. Mr. Fitzgerald added the words " bona fide security," and insisted on his right to put the question. Mr. Dl'Donough was next heard its support of the evi dence. The court permitted the question to be naked. Witness—Moat assuredly 1 did coasider Mr. Lawler when I discounted the bill for 1501. was a good security for it. lam not aware that Mr. Sadleir is • director of the bank. I never applied for the band in order that Mr. Daw ling might be arrested. I never applied to Mr. Sadleir or any one for that purpose. I never applied fur it to any one in order that execution might be done upon it epics: Dow ling—either the bond or judgment, ditectly er indirectly; I never agreed to release him (Crotty) (win the t !to bills in consideration of giving up the bond or judgment, or to release him from either in consideration of his per mitting the bond to be put in force against Dowling. I n agreed on behalf of Mr. Sadleir to release Mr. Crotty from either of the bills; nor to indemnity Crotty if he permitted the bond to he put ia force against Dowling trout the consequence. I was aware that Mr. Dowling was arrested. 1 never agreed upon my own behalf, upon behalf of Mr. Sadleir, or any one, to indemnify Mr. Crotty from the consequence of the arrest. I never authorised Crotty to state to Dowliag that if he voted for Mr. Sadleir the bank w.uld re new hie bills, and give him a cash ere lit to the extent of 3001. Dia the Carlow branch of the Tipperary Joint Stuck Bank, or any person upon their behalf, iu performance of any agreement between Crotty and Sadleir, in consi deration of releasing Daniel Crotty from the bills of 1501. and 2001, discount the bill fur 3571 Tnere was no agree neut. I did nut discount the buil for that ra neon. Did you, as the ensilage, of the bank, discount the bill for MTh wi h the ben. fide intention of holding Edward Lawler liable upon it ? I did. To a Juror—l did know how Mr. Lawler was to ap• ply tilt funds. To Mr. limgerald—l am perfectly satisfied that Mr. John Eisdleir knew nothing about the second discount. I eaw the 1 0 U of Lawler, nor did I know anything bout it when I discounted the bill. I know Mr. kluthall. He bed nothing ro do with the di.count of the 3.371. bill. I gut nu suggestion from him about it. Mr. Mulhall acts as solicitor and as the attorney for the bank in the &salons Court when I give him bills to discount. During the elec. tion Mr. John Ssdleir stopped at my house. Whenever he comes to Carlow he stops with me on a visit. He knows nothing of the affsirs of the bank. At the election of 1842 the committee rooms of Mr. Sadler were in Byrre•strcet. I never in fact indemnified Crotty from the consequences of the arreg. ~ Cruss•examined by Mr. Whiteside. Q C.—l did not see the sheriff. Had Sadleir and Mr. Rorke in the parlour of my house ; but I did elsewhere. Ido swear that I did not know Rorke was endeavouring to Dowling. I have no recollection of thanking the sheriff, or asking him to drink wine. I know that Rorke aid act for Mr. Sadleir as his agent in the collection of his rent Ido not believe that he &eta for Mr. Sadleir in the acres' of Mr. Dowling. knew that the b ad was given to secure two bills that were not yet due, and Lawler knew it. By virtue of your oath, was not that man (Dowling) arrested for a debt which you knew was not due I Did not know that Dowling was arrested for a debt that was not due. I did not know whether the debt was due or not. I did not know that he was arrested for a false debt. I had not a conversation with a Crotty about the bono in the presence of Lawler of an hour and a half in my garden. I might have had a conversation in the batik for about 20 minutes. I never heard Crotty in the bank speak about Dowling voting against Mr. Sadleir, but 1 did hear him outside the bank express his dissatisfaction at the course that Mr. Dowling had taken. I applied to Mr. Dowling to vote far Mr. Sadleir. His answer was unsatisfactory. I I believe I did pay money in the bank on account of the election. I heard that Dowling was to be arrested. 1 think from Crotty. I was nut going to any Dempsey I did not knew upon what he was to be arrested. I did not know he (Dowling) was to be ted before Le was arrested on the hustings. I did thank Mr. Dowling for his services to Mr. Sadteir in 1817. We Intended to sue Lawler. When I am directed I will do so. The court rose shortly before seven o'cl)ck, and was ad journed to this morning. MARYLEBONE WORKHOUSE. - • - OFFICIAL POOR-LAW INQUIRY. Yesterday, Mr. T. W. Austin, the Poor-law In spector, resumed the above inquiry at one o'clock. Tree same gentlemen were present u upon previous accessions The first witness called was Mr. George Crawley, who said that he was:•ne of the in spectors of the out-door poor fur the south district His duties were to visit the out-door poor who were receiving relief, every week, within his district, and report everything which he saw that was contrary t• the rules—such as drunkenness or want of cleanliness ; also, if he finds it necessary that more relief be required, or any: should be taken off, frsm any circumstances, he gives them orders to come be fore the rota. He also delivers the relief cards at the huoses of the recipients when he tries to see parties, except in ex• treme cases of old age. The cards are brought by the par ties above- named to the office, unless in the cases gust named, when a known agent receives the relief, and in which the rules are not so stringently carried out. Ile was empowered to give casual relief, for which there was a check book, and on the following morning Ihe tells the assistant overseer what he has dour, and produces the counterfoil of hie cheek book which shows what relief he has given, with a short note of the case, whether destitute, lame, and the ages of the recipients with the number and nature of their families, where there are any. Witness bad nothing whatever to do with the contractors, or giving the relief in kind. He simply gave the orders and attended before the rota on Fridays, to state the progress and alterations of his district and whatrenewals are necessary. Has been an inspector between six and seven months. Knew Garrett Walsh first about the 21st of October. Witness's first transaction with him was on the 2ith October. He had is. tid., which witness proved by his check book, where the entry had been made from the card of relief. Fur the four follow ing weeks ending the 31st October, 7, 14, and 21st November, Walsh had received the Is. 6ii. a week, when his card became out and wanted renewal. After every one of those payments Walsh had his card re delivered to him again. Witness could never find Walsh at home, and cis answer vrh• n questioned about it was that he was always out looking for work. 11 tween the 7th and the 14th of November witness saw him in the street after his card had expired, when he raid that he should like to have his money continued to him, or to be taken into the workhouse. On the Thursday or Friday following be rune to go before the rota board, witness having given him an order fur that purpose. He raid ten y must either give me my money again or they shall take me into the workhouse. When Walsh went before the rota board Mr. Result sad Mr. Poland were the only guardians present. Mr. Messer, the assistant over eer, with witness, were also there. When Walsh came in witnen drew the attention of the bo ,rd to the number on the report-book, which was lyieg before them, witheill elated the cue from a memorandum which he had, and welch agreed wash the eatry in the report-book. The guard•ans agreed to renew the previous order for two months. Ile was to have 2lbs. of meat and 2 loaves, with It 6.1., commencing on that day Both Mr. Russell and Mr. Poland said that he was to have it without delay, as Walsh stated that he was out of work, and he seemed very well **titled with the decision. Wit ness did not recommend the guardians to make that order, nor could he infer their reasons fur so doing from anything they said. The nest time witness saw Walsh after be left the rota-room was in the pay-office, • • g with his wife by the fire. That was about half an hour after. He said to witness, "Are you going to give me an order for my meat and bread ?" Witness gave him an order for 21bs. of meat, which was on the authority of what had taken place before the rota board. Witness never heard it stated before the rota board that Walsh's wife was a good market woman, or that Walsh was to go and make a home, or go home and nurse the bahy, nor about hie coming into the house. When wit ness sow him in Ore's -court, he said that he would be obliged to leave hie lodgings because he owed them rent. By Mr. Russell—Witness told Mr. Beautron that the 21b. of meat, 21b. of bread, on the Friday was " extra " over and shove his regular allowance. Witness was never told that Walsh did not live at 14, Gee's-court. Did not hear hint tell the rota that he had no place to sleep in, having been turned out. Distinctly rteclleebd Mr. Poland telling witness to watch the case, and not to let them want. There was not a word said by Walsh when before the rota about either his wife or child. Had he said anything about the child being ill, there would have been a medical rater immediately, as that is the invariable prac• tire. Mr. Poland asked witness if Walsh's circumstances had altered during the last month, and he answered that he could never find him at home. Wh e witness asked Walsh what the letter was doing so much out, he answered that he was seeking employment, but witness never found him employed, unless smoking tobacco, mostly at the gets. of the workhouse, and also in Gee/ stood. Witness saw him looking for employment anywhere. Witnees hardly ever saw him without a pipe in his mouth, smoking, and was g Ily hanging shout the workhouse. Witness was in the rota room all the time that Walsh's cue was nosier con sioerstion, and must have heard everything that had taken place. Didn't tell the rota that Walsh was always smoking, although he might if he had thought of it ; but be did not wish to bias a case against anybody. Has heard some of the bah era complain about Wald being constantly gawking. Mr. Kirby, for one. Matthew Green, the porter at the Northumberland-street gate of the workhouse, was nest examined. He said that be knew Walsh and his wits well, and remembered their being brought from the police court on the 19th of Novem ber, by Police-constable Whims, 86 D, about twenty si ssye to six In the evening. No officer of the workhouse being in the way, the policeman left them at the gate, the pewter undertaking to inform the officers, if any of. thew came. Witness closes the outer gate of the work house at six o'clock every night. On Saturd.y night, the 19th, witness did not see Walsh or his wife after the gate was closed, although he opened it several times during the efteeieg. When witness opens the door to let any one in or ear, be can see very little obliquely to the right or the left, amd if any person stood o,i the pavement a little way from the door, witness could not see them unless they were di• reedy before the door. Witness has seen Walsh hang about the door for the last 18 months as much as any one who One. Witness had an inmate as an assistant at the gate. no bell to the gate now, as it bad been taken off in easeimpence of people melting a rattle of it. The master hed authority to give relief in the night. When parties bee* at the gate in the night the noise is easily beard. On the esturday night after the door wan closed, neither Walsh nor hie wife made any application whoever Witness did not notice parties outside the gate (unless they made an application), for sometimes people get up awful rows am tog themselves at that gate. Witness could not state poeitsycly that he saw Walsh at the gate on the Sun day morning, although he had hi en there on other Sunday mornings. Witness does not think Walsh stopped at the gate more than flys or ten minutes after the policemen went away—a little before six o'clock on the Saturday even ing. Witness did not inform the master that Walsh was at the gate because the latter made no application. Wa imea keeps a book, and which he enters every occurrence after six o'clock in the evening. lle gave several doctors* orders on the evening is que s tion up to a quarter to ten o'clock, at which time witness took into the house an elderly woman who was sitting destitute at the gate by herself. He looked up and down the street, but tould see nothing at ell of either Walsh or his wife. Walsh applied to witness for a medical order, or it would have beets entered on the diary. By Mr. M'Donal—The wens is not kept closed after gig o'clock without being opened if any people knock. Did not remember Mr. M'Doual knocking cod obtaining admis• sion for people who bad been waiting from sour o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. IV Do/al—Will you swear that you did not answer on one occasion, when Mr. Smith, of 18, Nottinghaewstreet, drew attention to the number of people who were waiting outside for admission, " What • pity to knock us out of bed for these -- wretches!" Witaen—Will swear that he did not, nor was it a com mon occurrence to order the people away altogether. Wit ness was superintendent of labour on the Bow-road of the City of London Union. Plenty of complaints have been made about his conduct at the gate, but they were without foundstion. Has never been reprimanded by the board, although has been called once before the guardians. Wit- mess did now remember Mr. M'Dosal calling and obtaining admission for one or two, or two or three parties, but never for as many as seven or eight. Mr. M'Duual here stated that he had obtained admission at times for as many as eight, five, and laser numbers. Mr. IPllonal here complained that in such • respectable paper as the Daily News he laud been detained as • " chartist lecturer,' and hooded the paper to the inspector. He (Mr. 111.Dunal) begged to state that he had not that ho nour; had it been some papers which he mentioned lie sl.ould not have been surprised at or noticed it (Mr. M'Doual may rest enured that his deseription as a chartist lecturer was not intended in disparagement either of himself or of the vocation of a political lecturer, but was simply the only one which th.- reporter could obtain from those persons of whom he inquired.] The proceedings were then sojourned. A DARING ROBIART was committed in South ampton on Thereday evening. Mr tilaspool, a corn nue. chant, has a shop and stores at the corner of Hanover buil ling., and a dwelling-house in Vincent's-walk, two or three hundred yards distant. To go from the shop to the dwelling-house by a short cut, a person must cross a corner of the Houndwell, an uninhabited place but a great thoroughfare, and in view of tile Post-office. A man and a boy in the employ of Mr. Olsapord ware conveying his book. and cash from the stores to the house as usual, be tween eight and nine in the evening on Toursday. When an the lloundwell both the h , ,y and the man were attacked suddenly by two men, who robbed them of the bag of money, amounting to near', 201., and the hooks that were I in their possession. Mr. Olaspoul's servants were attacked in each a manner that they could not give an alarm before the thieves were on their way to the purlieus of St. Mary's, whemalthough they were purstotd,the y made their escape. ' The books vete thrown away by the thieve, and found the nest day. On the same day a lady was robbed of her purse in the Post-office lobby of that town NORTH NiETROPOLITAN RAlLWAY.—Ciatleti to protect the interests of the raterayers of St. Pancras are to be inserted in the bid to he *weldor d to parliament in the ensuing session by the above company.

DOWLING T. LAWLDEL This cue was resumed at the sitting of the court. Mr. Matthew Byrne mamined by Mr. O'Hagen, Q.C.— lam a cloth merchant in the town of Carlow. 1 also hold 150 acres of land in the neighbourhood of Ca.low. I knew the late Mr. Crotty very well. I remember upon the 7th of July, 1852, being in company with Mr. Daniel Crotty. I remember going with him to Mr. Stephen M'Carthy. A person of the name of Wm. Lyng came with me: he was • Mr. Crotty's clerk. I saw Mr. Edward Dowling at M'Carthy's. I was present at a conversation between Crotty and Dowling. I took part in that conversation myself. Crotty asked him why he did not come to his pia., as usual. Dowling said, " I did not like to do it, Dan, as 1 did not think it would be very pleasing to you upon this occasion." That was the ith July. Dowling said, " I don't mean to Tote for Mr. Sadleir at this election, and thereforu I did not lake to go to your house." Crotty said, "Is it pos sible you mean to vote against Mr. Sadl.ir 1" His answer was, tt I will vote for Harbert Clayton Browne." " Well," said I, what fault have you with Mr. Sadleir since he got into parliament in 1547 ; what fault did he commit " I have no fault to find with him," said Dowling, " Mr. Browne is my landlord ; be is a country gentleman, and I prefer voting for him; he spends his fortune at home." Mr. Crotty also said, " sell, Mr. Dowling, I don't know, I think you are wrong in that; you owe the bank a certain sum of money, end doa't yeti know you will iucur the displeasure of the bank if you vote against Mr. Sadleir 1" I can't help that, sad he, but at all events I will have plenty of money before they have execution against me. I said, well, Edward, if you do vote for Mr. Clayton Browne, we at all events expect that you will not intefere further in the election than to give your own vote for Mr. Clayton Browne . He said be would not, except very little. There was nothing at all said by Crotty about 3001., but he did say that the bank would renew his bills if he voted for Sadleir, mil if he did nut vote for Mr. &Miele. the bank would sue him; but if be did vote, they would give him any accommodation he might require in the renew al of the bills Nothing could have passed without my hearing it at that interview. 1 left the place with Mr. Crotty after that con versation. I left Mr. Dowling in the house. Witness to Mr. O'Hagan—After leaving the door, Crotty said to use, " Well, Mat Byrne, after all my kindness to Dowling, he refuses to vote tor me." Mr. Whiteside—Stop, sir. _ _ e Witnesa—And— Mr• Whiteside — Stop , sir • don't dare to answer. Witness—And—(l•4bteit Examination continued— rotty and I went arm in arm, and he said to me, " Well, Mat Byrne, after all my kind nets to Dowling for years, he refused me the first compli ment I ever asked of him. I will separate from him for ever, pot the bond in execution, and get my money now." To the best of my recollection, we walked as farts my own house, sad separated there. I know Edward Lawler. I have known him about fifteen yew. Do you know his CifellUntallett ? (Mr. Whiteside ob jected to this question being put. The Court allowed it to be arked.)—l know the circumstances of Mr. Byrne in re ference to his solvency. Has be property enabling him to pay a sum of 3101. ? (Mr. Whiteside objected. Court allowed the question.)— It you allow me to put what 1 know of his property ix figures, I will answer you. I know that he pawned up wards or about M/0/. of my own knowledge. Between 4001. and 6001. would be as near as I could go. Croes•esamined by Mr. Whiteside—Any one's memory would be affected by punch. I don't think M•Cartby or anybody else heard the conversation. I differed with Dowling. I will say nothing but in a manly, straightfor- ward manner. I was in favour of Mr. Sadleir. There is no doubt that Crotty asked him to vote for &Weir, and that Dowling said he felt delicate about going to his house becasse he would not vote for Sadleir— that Crotty introduced the subject of the bills in the bank, and that Crotty told him if be did not vote for Sadleir the bank would sae him. He also told him that if he voted for Sadleir the bills would be renewed, and the bank would not sue him.-1 did not act as Sadleir's agent. I acted in every way to promote his return. On your oath were you not his agent ?—I don't think I was more an agent than any other elector. I have nu recol lection of basing signed any document for money (document banded to witness). That is my handwriting. Do you now swear you did net act as an agent !—Let me see the document again. On your oath did you act as John Sadleir's agent ?—I did not take a penny of his money into my hands, or act in any other way than any other elector. I did everything I could to forward the election of John Sullen.. The docu ment refers to the county election, the July diction, and not to John Sadlei election (a second document handed to witness). I think that is in the handwriting of my ap prentice. I den't think I gave him authority to sign that. I will not swear I did not. I did ever/thing I could to promote the election of John Sadleir, as any other elector. To the Chief Baron—lf it be an *gent toask a man would he vote for Mr. John Sadleir, I was an agent. Mr. Whiteside—On your oath, don't you know that money was paid to watch v. tees ?—I did not see any money paid. It might have been paid. I will not say it was not paid. Look at that letter, written by yourself, to refresh your memory.-1 have read the letter. Do you mean to tell the jury you know nothing whatever of the of Dowling I—Nothing but what Crotty told me. I knew the observation of Crotty, but I did not know anything about the serest till he was arrested. I did mg say to Dowling that I knew nothing of the intestine el Crotty to arrest Dowling, bat I said I knew nothing of time . I saw Dowling at the election of 1842. I was sot on the hustings. I saw him on the morning of the need nation walking with Mr. Browne and his friends. I did not see him (or some days before that. I don't know whe ther Lawler owed any money to Don Crotty. I know the other Mr. Lawler. I can't tell which of them is the richer. If a man was in your debt hoe would you like to get 2s. in the pound from the man you call solvent I—(Question not answered, by the direction of the court) I eliminated a bill for Robert Lawler. That in a good many years ago— about six years ago. I think I did process him. He was security to me for another party. I can't recollect the amount. Would you give 3501. for that billet Lyng and Lawler ? —(Question objected to). 1l think Lyng is worth very little. It Lawler walked in to me to-morrow I would give him 4001. If he walked in to-morrow would you give him 3501. upon that bill ? I would give 400/. to him. He will be with you in the morning ; at who , hour shall he mill? (Laughter.) I would give him 4001. upon his property. Would you give 3501. upon the bill as it stands. To the Chief Baron—At the time the bill was drawn, before it was drawn, or now, I would give the money upon Lawler's security. To Mr. Whiteside—l will not swear that Lawler has 501. in the world. Dr. Thomas O'Meara, examined by Mr. Lawless—l re side in thy town of Carlow. lam acquainted with Ed ward Lawler. I have known him intimately for twelve yoars. Ot some of his property I have a general knowledge, of others I have au intimate knowledge. The property of Mr. Lawler with which I an intimately acquainted would Se eqaal to 3,501. - Cross eutatined by Mr. WDonough, Q C.—l am a phy sician. I have a government appointment. 1 would give 3611. on the bill of Lawler, if presented in the month of ' September, 11362. I would discount it for him to-morrow. Believe he has 501. I was not present when Lawler was re jected as an elector. I did not hear of it from Lawler. Edward Lawler examined by Mr. biliftleTs Q C -I am the defendant in this issue. I knew the late Daniel Crotty. I know Mr. Dowling. Mr. Cron , and Mr. Dowling were on good terms. I recollect the Carlow election of 1852, but I was not present at it. I recollect having gone to Crotty's house some days before the Nomination. The Rev. Father Dempsey went with me. I saw Daniel Crotty. I asked Crotty whether he had not a bond of Mr. Edward Dowling. He said he had. I asked him if he would give ' it. 11. said unhesitatingly he would to the Rev. Father Dempsey. He did give it to that gentleman. He said he was anxious to have the bond executed, and the debt paid. The name of Mr. Sadleir was intradueed, and he said it was given to him to have it committed to a Dublin attor ney. Mr. Dempsey took the bond. I heard Crotty regret that Dowling was away from the ranks of Mr. Sadleir, and would not support him. He used the language of complaint against Mr. Dowling the whole time for going away from Mr. Sadleir. We proceeded down the town of Carlo+ in the direction of the Tipperary Joint-Stock Bank. I saw Mr. Sadleir. Mr. Crotty and Mr. Dempsey stopped about the muket cross. Mr. Sadleir was about to mount the car, or was upon it. Thie was about 100 yards from the Tipperary Bank. Father Dempsey got up on the side upon which Mr. Sadleir was sitting. I got up on the other, and we drove in the direction of the railway. Crotty got upon the same side with me, and we four went to the railway to gether. At the Market cross we picked up Crotty. When we got to the railway a conversation took place. Father Dempsey was the person who &et spoke to Mr. Sadleir. He raid that Dan Crotty had given him the bond to give to him (Sadleir) to have it executed. Sadleir asked me if the amount was due upon the Mind, and I raid I was pretty sure it was. I then stated that it was Crotty's wish that the bond should be put into the hands of a Dublin attorney, that the thing nrig. , t be done rie secretly as possible. Crotty was on the nhitforro, but I don't think he was within hearing. I did not hear Crotty say anything to Mr. Sadleir. I saw Crony and Mr. Sidleir in commu nication. I think that was very near the door of the rail. way carriage. I did not hear what pasted between them. I went to Dublin in the cuisine/ by the latest train. Isaw Mr. Sadleir that evening ut half-n.ist nine o'clock. I was not at the elevion. 1 seas the messenger of Dan Crot.y—(Mr. Whiteside ohjected to the witness making this statement)—l remember the month of September, 1852 (letter handed to witness). Do you recollect Daniel Crotty having shown you that letter in *ieptember ? Mr. Whiteside—l object to this. Is the letter in your handwriting ? Witness—lt is not. I am sure Mr. Crotty showed me that letter in September. (Evidence objected to.) Witness to Mr. Whidesioe—l don't know what has be come of the other piece of the letter. I don't know whether O'Shea has it. I don't know whose writing the endorsement is. Mr. Whiteside observed that the letter hail come out of Ithe hank, and had no direction. Witatos—l don't think the writing is Mulhallte. PUBLIC PARKS FOR BIR3ENGHAM. Several months slue an account was given in the Daily News of a meeting held in Birmingham for the pur pose of taking steps to aft et some arrangement with the corpiration of Sutton Coldtlehl for the cession of a porti to of their noble park of 3,000 acres to the inhabitant, of Bir mingham, for conversion into a public park, on which it was proposed to erect a Crystal Palace. Unfortunately, ' however, the Sutton people raised difficulties in the way of carrying out Mr. Beale's excellent project, and the carrying of it out is for the present suspend, d. In these circum stances, attention has been turned to other means by a biah the great and increasing want of public places of recrea•wn may be to acme extent provided for. The town council has remitted to the inhabitants, for their &anoint, a resolution authoring an application to parliament for pewee w levy a penny rare to maintain in a froper state any land which might be obtained for the purpose; and yesterday morning the necessary public meeting was held at the Town-hall, the Mayor in the chair. The enormous value of the land in the neighbourhood of the town is the great difficulty, the splendid estate of Lord Calthrrpe, which covers one side of it, being also strictly entailed; there is, however, at length a prospect of the difficulty being to some extent obviated, by the benevolence of two or three individuals. At this mertinc, in which Mr. Adder ley, M.P., Mr. Seholefitld, M.P., Mr. Bill, Q C., Mr. Joseph Sturge, the Rev. J. C. Miller, Mr. George Dawson, and utter gentlemen took part, it was announced that Lord Cslhorpe had made toe noble offer of forty acres of the most valuable of his land near the Bristoi•road, and close up to the town. Mr. Adder ley (tee donor of all its land un which have been esta blished the Reformatory institutions near the town) oilers a plot of equally eligible laud in another quarter ; on•I •asrly, Mr Joseph Sturge (nev‘r find wanting in the cause of active benevolence) gives up a valuable niece of land in Edgbaston fur the ►ame good purpose. The application to parliament for the pewees to levy the rate were sanctioned by the meeting, and Mr. William Morgan (the town clerk), who has lent his active aid m fiwering the project and smoothing away the ilifficultin incident to every scheme, however useful in its early stag. s, was instructed to prose , cute the bill in parliament. It is u long lane that has no turning; sod it is to be hoped that these little fields of flesh air, which are to be at last roviacd for the workers of Birmingham, will presently he followed by others, and that . Saturday afternoon, the imill we, kly vacation of so many thousand persons, will be accompanied by the provision of , fitting places to which they may resort, refreshing and rove gorating them for the next week's to:i.
