P • AIIIRINCesgae COURT Oft RICEIRQURR." tompoetow..asainaltakes o. ' , dooms, CLRRIC. This ease, which has se completely absorbed the at-, tendon of all deoomin.tions sin Ireland, came on this manhsing. At se early hoar the-Court was crowded, and long before twelve o'clock theentite ball was filted with persims anxi.os to hear the trial. At that hour lame Soften took his seat upon the bench, and the Jury, which was highly respectable, having been sworn: Mr. RIATINO opened the pleadiags. Bartholomew Magaralian was the plaintiff, the Rev. Thomas Maguire the defendant. It was an action for the seduction of thepleietnlie daughter, and contained four counts. The first of which stated the loss of his daughter's services, in coorequence of the defendant debauching and crimi sally knowing her, whereby the became pregnant. The other:counts mere of a similar nature, and the damages weeelaid at 500 f. ;On the part of the defendant two pleas were put in— first," ant guilty; andthe second stated, that on the 11th of Novi mber, 1826ithe plaintiff became insolvent, and his property being waited in the provisional assignee of dot Court, by his obtaining his discharge under its provisions, the right to bring this action was vested in the provisional assignee. To this it had been replied,— firstithe common submittal; and next, that the several causes of action in this issue had arisen.since the plain tiff discharge. Mr. BesiperT, Ring's Counsel, stated all case for the plaintiff. He commenced his address by la Appeal-to the Jury to discharge from their auttds i enasidera. tions, save a due regard for the solemn eaffnthey had jest taken,' no matter who the parties were, to return their verdict, according to the evidence to clone before them. Plin'iniff was a man in a rank of life sous paiEiNtly`humble, but he was not on that accqunt less • welcome to the temple of justice. He heed in Drum. kir, a small village in Leitrim, where be kept an inn. His family consisted of a wife, aloe named Robot, and two'daughters. The eldest, Anne, was the whit* of , this action. She was about 20' years of age. The rte. fendatn was a Roman Catholic clergyman, and with re spect to that gentleman he had no insuuctions e nor if he had would he follow them, to say one disrespectral word. It wa not his practice, and be hoped it newer would, to say any thing in a Court of Janice disrespectful to one, or tending to agitate the feelings or distract the minds of the people of this country. No, Clod forbid ! Thep *s . .. Les hosise weals the parish of Innismagrath, of twhf.ilso dlAndant bad been, and perhaps still was, the priest. He came there in February 1825, and there being no residence for him. took eiS his abode in the, aSlitiatiff's inn; theie be continued six weeks, until he got a house of his own. Dosing that timehe became, sountate with the family, which intimacy continued after he left them. In Sept. 1896, the plaintiff was thrown into prison. at the suit of a creditor. It weer entered into the - plaintiff's mind that Mr. Maguire, who was so intimate with the family. so high in character, tank, and station. would entertain any criminal intention towards his daughter. But such. he (Mr. Bestow) felt it his painful duty new to declare was the case. While the father was in prison, her seduction ire! accomplished; he need not tell them how. as the young woman would be produced to state the facts herself. It nits necessaty for them to know, that the -family of the plaintiff was Protestant, and th at no roar -.loge between a Protestant and Catholic in this country • .iras legal l onless performed by a Protestant Clergyman. might be further necessary for him to mention, that she approaches of Mr. Maguire were honourable. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to state the facts of the cise'af they sisinegeently appeared from the testi niony of the witnesses. The Learned Gentleman read a letter from the Reverend Mr. Maguire, dated in Dub lin-, in answer to one from Jane, the second daughter 151 th 4 ffeliident, who accused him of participancy in bar al.un'sffight from home, in which he aiserted in the most solemn manner his innocence. Other parts of this . letter, Mr. Bennett contended, contained corroboration •of the defendant's guilt. But in addition to his letters, he bad persons to produce who would attest the truth of the charge against the defendant. On the 14th of Ju1y.1827, be retutoed-to his' parish ; at that time the faissiithad determined to Vain legal redress for the ll*lrtfirat had been done , them, aid - from that eminent APP. . the ltt fathertom eenced .

Mr. ITCoutrat.c.—No, Mr. Bennett : he stated that the platirs_ciop was deg oat by Orangemen. • "r.llAstualtx confieinedit was no matter. The Stunt vessel CiSerses wete taken to injure and harass him. The defendant had pleaded in two ways...first, a gene ral &Midi then, that the plaintiff was an insolvent.— ' Stash a plea as the fatter, in an . action of this sort, he :114'oever known before. What was the real meaning of ehia.plea? That the poor man's daughter might be bbd .of seduction deponisited? Did any innocent feet fesort to such a defence'? The plaintiff was a 'saran—he may be an insolvent ; but, Good Goo ! cpildthey.fielieste star a man would attempt to urge suds a.plea in a caseof this sort in any Court of Jos tle! ?•linsocerice would never resort to such a subter ilpie. - 11lAth ,the i lloy now remained the question of 4 1 1 112 41e5s Supponag they theasseleethad a daughter. the pride of stieirlopes, the comfort of-their home, What would they take from a person as compensation, *tic should teduce such a child. and send her back agent ileiflest to her home? He had full confidence that they would investigate the case with fairness between' the parties. He trusted they would not give one farthing thou to the plaintiff because the defendant was the Rt.v. Thoi;Maguire ; and that on the same account they mould not award him a farthing less. He trusted they would give -their verdict according to the evidence; lind - if - everlereafter they should be upbraided with' . :that :tieeligt j t,l4l,iiiiitli point to the evidence to satisfy • aheir cooingly riesd co satisfy their Goo, let them point to their animism's. Ann ifetarthap was the Bra witness called. Her - . appearance was not very prepossessing,for a person in heigialti she was superbly dressed. She seemed per.; iVetlyritler else while giving her evidence. She was iviirn`atitt ekailsined 'by Mr. Jackson. She stated that the visa the diughler Lathe plaintiff, and described his psidetice...

She sent by the coach to Dublin, and went from :Renee to Liverponl in a steaml boat. She arrived in Manchester early in April; she went to a lodging provided by a former female ser vant of her father's, named Katherine Magarahan ; she remained at her new lodgings about three weeks, during which nothing particular occurred except writ ing a letter to the defendant. She was delivered of a still born infant in Manchester. She was attended in her confinement by Dr. Holloway and three women.— She received 101.7 x• 6J. from the defendant previous to he: departure for England. Had ne other money, nor did she receive any answer to the letter she wrote Mr. Maguire. She left Manchester after her confinement, and was at borne in a fortnight after. She did not see the defendant during her absence : never was in Scot land, nor wrote a letter as from that country. Has seen the defendant write. (A letter was handed to her, which she stated was in his hand writing ; it was dated May 4, 1827). She is a Protestant, and believes her father was always one. She saw the defendant four or five times after her return, at his own house; on two of those occasions her sister was present. Received let-, ten from him after her arrival; they were delivered by Catherine M.lnweeny. At one of these inter views, the defendant offered to give her three hun dred pounds if she would declare, that now, for thi first time, she was at liberty since her return, and lte said, that more would be made up for her, if she cork seined to come into Court, throw herself upon the mercy of the Judge, and declare that it all was a fabrication. Her sister was present on this occasion. AU intercourse ceased between them on the morning of his departure for Dublin. In the last month, or the month before, she acted in no particular capacity; she was in the habit of attending the bar. Cross-ezatniaed by Mr. O'Cosmet.t.— Did you ever deny what you have sworn to this day ?—I might have denied it. Did you ever lake a false oath ?—I do not recollect. .I)Ad you never take an oath that all this larssinLss was a conicniacy against Mr. Maguire ?—No. Do you distinctly say, you never ffered to swear that this was a diabolical conspiracy against Mr. Maguire ?—I never offered to swear, but I said I would svikar.(Great Laughter.) In answer to further interrogatories, she said she slept with Miss Dillon, who lived near her fathei's, for a fortnight, when gone six months with child, and yet that lady never suspected she was in the family way. Thelaed they slept in was very narrow, and she and Miss Dillon laced each other every morning. Mr. O'Corrazu.—We had a talk just n as to what you offered to swear, or simply agreed to swear. Did you ever say that your family were offered 60W. for prosecuting the present snit ?—I never did. You never said or wrote any thing to the purport, that your family were offered 6004 to prosecute this affair ?—Never. Here a letter was produced, which the witness ad mitted to be in her handwriting. It contained a de claration that the 6001. was to effect, amongst other purposes, the extinction of " the Jesuit ptiest." Who gave you chat beautiful Leghorn bonnet ?—Mr. Maguire—(Laughter.) But that is a fashionable and excellent gown—l hope it is hie colour y ou admire? (The colour was purp:e.) Mr. O'Cuivema..—l thank this pert and profligate witness for this answer ; it gives the Court and Jury an . insight into the whole conspiracy, its origin, and motives. Mr. O'Connasa..--Where have you lived since you came to Dublin? Mr. BazixErr objected to the question. There had been, a few minutes previously t . this, a shout in the hall, to which Mr. Bennet referred as a proof of the danger of answering the question, pointing to the con sequences which might happen to persons in whose society she had been in town. Mr. °Von sizt.x..—My Lord. this is delusive or foolish. I will show bow much the opposite party are iolluenced by delicacy or fear in the present Instance. (To the witness).—Did not your brother go to the chapel door of Mr. Maguire to serve his latitat. and did he not know that the Bishop was in the Chapel at the time ? —He did. Mr. O'CossaLL—So much for the apprehensions un der which these good people labour. Sbe was further cross•esarniited by Mr. ()touting., and admitted that in Manchester she went by the name of Armstrong, that of the Gentleman who had Veen her his wife's gown. Mr. O'Comnam. then read the letter alluded to, and allowed to be written by her. It was addressed to the defendant. In it she speaks of the conspiracy against him; of her bating sworn, and being still ready to swear, before a Magistrate, of his innocence; and of the sum of 600 i. having been offered to her family to go on with the prosecution. By a Juror—Did you think that the marriage of Mr. Maguite with you was a legal one, and that benefit could accrue to you from it?—He told me it was legal, and I believed him. Jane Magarahan was examined by Mr. ICRATISO The principal points in her testimony were, that a par. titular conversation respecting this business occurred between the witness, her sister, and the defendant, at his house; she state() to him that she had been per. waded by his victim to' come there, when be stopped her mouth by saying that her sister was his wife, and that, in the eyes of Heaven, she should be considered so as long as she had life. Her sister then told the defendant that the did not believe it ; on which he said he would perform the ceremony again. He went on his knees, took a book in .his hand, and "solemnly pro. tested that she was his wife. tier sister desired him to r erform the ceremony in presence of a Protestant 'lei. gyman. His reply was, that if be did so, he would be laughed at." Here a person from one of the side passages stated to the Court, that an officer commanding a military party was in waiting, to receive his orders from the Sheriff. • This officer applied to the Court in order to obtain the directions to be observed by the military. Baroti SMITH expressed his anxious desire that no un necessary measure should be adopted, and that no idle calculation of danger should cause the interferfo c e of the soldiery. __ Catherine Maguahan was the next witnen.—.She deposed to the fact of the birth of the dead child, 'at Manchester. She was crossorzamined by Mr‘Ssitzt.. but nothing of consequence. or at all bearing on the case at issue. was adduced by it. Philip Olson Hardy deposed to the handwridos of the m tfindant in three letters shown to biol. romp& rose for the defence at 44541cick, I and 4,9 4: f r aoi a considerable time. This was not. lie as active b►ousht for a redress of a wrong re. i it *is a political action , and the worst of all istfitott..'—e'politico-ieltious one. it as uric supported by faction for W tai perpeste .Mt dist would never have been brought forward to pollute it Come of Jus tice if the discussion between Pepe attd%Mageirelad not taken piece, This was not a ,question of mlie &images—it wis one involving the sacred character of a Priest of the Most High GoJ, who had sworn at the altar to chastity and a pure life—a Priest cownnistioned I to offer op sacrifice to the living GOD. Againti such a man was this action brought, and the who swears it says he intended she should be his wife while be we's to continue to act as a priest- No damages could be• expected trom his client; all he had was his parish, and if a verdict were found against him, what Bishop would leave him in that parish for one hour? The action was, then, manifestly not brought with a view to da mages. His client would never have been at the bar of justice, defending himself against such an action, were it not that be came forward, or rather was forced to come forward, as the advocate of the religious opinions of the people of this country. He was goaded into that controversy. He had the hardihood to come forward in this great city, and publicly dared " the saints," as they call themselves. The Learned Gentleman took to him self all the blame of baying put into the plea.lings the plea of the plaintiff's insolvency; he did so that it might be seen that the action originated, not with him, but with a discomfitted faction, who, writhing under the disgrace of defeat, wished to lessen its ignominy by defaming and blackening their victor. He had recorded the plainti ff 's insolvency to show that the temple of justice had been profaned, that the false ,and idolatrous worship of the demon of bigotry bad been set up in that temple, and that the victim of the sacrifice was to be Mr. Maguire, while the Orangemen, and the plaintiff and his relations, •were to be the priestly sacrificers. The Learned Gentleman then went minutely through the testimony of the dif ferent witnesses, commenting as he proceeded in very strong terms. • The allegations made by the principal witness were, he said, so absurd, that none but a Bed lamite would give credence to them. Such was the Inundation of this " diabolical conspiracy," as the wit ness herself under her own hand described it. It was one which could only be invented in the boldness of insanity. How could they believe that against a man upon whom the eyes of Ireland were turned, who was well aware that the rage of party was excited against , him, such a charge could be well founded ? What, at the time he put the pride of sectarianism at bay, he was seeking this Lady as his wife, that he came for ward as a Catholic advocate, and a most excellent married priest. She swore positively she was his wife At the time she went to England, and yet she swears he knew nothing of it. The hand of PROVIDINCIA was manifest here, and the all-seeing GOD displayed the weakness of this diabolical conspiracy. That was the first link which broke. Would a man thus cut his own throat ? When Ann Magarahan went to England, no whisper against his character .was breathed :no human being knew any thing about - it ; and yet the instant she is gone her sister Jane writes to the defendant accusing him of it. The two let ters whick were sworn to be in Mr. Maguire's hand writing, he,l4lr. O'Connell, could prove were not.— Mr. O'Connell commented OD, various passages of those letters, and stated that several witnesses would be pro cloned to-morrow (Friday) to prove that Ann Meseta hen had been a common prostitute; that six or seven respectable individuals would depose that the two letters produced on the trial were not in the - defendant's hand -1 writing. After bearing Mr.O'Connell, the Court adjourned at eight o'clock, until Friday morning, when the evidence for the defence will be gone into, and Mr. North will reply on the part of the plaintiff. The interest which the trial has excited is quite un exampled; the Court was most densely crowded during the day: even the vast and magnificent hall in, the centre of the four Courts was occupied until the latest hour of the Court's sitting, and it was extremely diffi cult to gain egress through any of the passages. Strong parties of police were stationed in different directions adjacent to the Courts, and a body of military 9ccupied the squares and avenues leading to them. ACQU 1 TTA DAr—Fiunar. - At half-past tvelve v'clock, the Hon. Baron SMITH took his seat on the bench. The Jury were then called over. mr."H. B. Kelly sworn—Lives in Liverpool; knows the plaintiff. and is related to his wife by marriage; has bad opportunities of knowing the habits of the family. Crow-examined by Mr. Bauxerr.—After which several other evidences were adduced; and Mr. Noasts having addressed. the Court at considerable length, The Hon. Baron SMITH addressed the Jury in a most luminous charge. His Lordship commenced upon the law of evidence in a style not less distinguished for profound legal learning, than for that; terse and attic character which marks all his productions.— His Lordship having concluded about 7 o'clock, the Jury retired, and at half-past 7 returned ino their box with the following verdict :—. 4 We find for the defendant with sixpence costs."—This announcement was received with the most enthusiastic cheers. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Saturday, a young man, who gave his name Datram Sales, was brougk before the LORD Idaroa, on a charge of having uttered, at the banking-louse of Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co. a forged &ark for the sum of Alto. Mr. James Wood, the chief clerk to Mears. Jones, Lloyd, and Company, stated, that on. Friday afternoon a boy tame and pre sented the cheek produced, purporting to be drawn for sitllo, by Mr. Charles Fothergili, a Member of the Stock Exchange, who resided at Lower Clapton. Witness suspected the check at once, and compared it with Mr. Fothergill's signature. - A boy of fifteen years of age, named O'Neil, who attends the coaches near the Bank, deposed , that at about a quarter after four o'clock on the day before, the prisoner came to him in Founders. ball -court, and asked Min whether he wanted a job? witness said be did; the prisoner then gave hint the check produced, and told him togo to the Banker's with it, and return to the court, where be Would wait for him ; witness asked what he was to get for It ? the prisoner replied two notes; the witness went, and when ques tioned, told how he had been sent : the two Gentlemen accom panied him to point out the person; be did Dot find him in Foal den'dtall•court; but upon going a little farther, saw him In the next court. Witness told him he had seat a wrong check. The prisoner Instantly made a start, as if to run away, but the witness seised him by the collar and held him tight, until the two. 43- &men came up and secured Mr. Gallalty, a senior clerk at Meson.
