The circumstances of these present trials show the the laws were called for, and prove what I have before asserted, that they vre not more severe thin necessary and salutary. The ,:entlemen of the country will see that they ire bound to 11 in their power to pier efficacy to these laws, and that it is not by each truzkling for his own particular per sonal safety that the peace of the country can be established. — They will see the necessity that exists for their combining to geher, and aiding each in executing, but not in stretching or over iorprina the law. This is the mode by which alone peace and order can be restored : for no happiness can exist, even for the poorer classes themselves, in a society where the natural ties whcis hind man to man and landlords to tenants ;are dissolved. v Lords. I need offer no apology for wandering a little into this subject. My duty here is, in bringing home guilt to the accustd, pinta; I would rather reform than punish, and I would be happy that my f.-ehl, voic-p were effec•ive, when I implore the deluded victims of this dete sta')le a-s.cia:ion, to return to those habits of :end industry, from which alone their peace, prosperity, or s%l =mint. Whitehoeien has changed its character in the country since 1821. The Whiteboy confederation. at first en heed for some spacial objects. was soon convertible into any other, and he who first sanctioned them for the suppression of tithes, and the arrangement and division of land, which he may took upon 33 venial and trifling, or even laudable pursuits, was not aw ore that he was fitting out instruments of robb..ry and murder— persons to whom any applicant may say, I'll thank you it in in the absence of more import int and legitimate occupation you'll be good enough to murder for me such or such a gentienian.—So much for Daly—l would not he understood when I speia of this man as pronouncing a panegyric on his character. No man regrets more than I can the use of such an instrument, but without them it is impossible to attain the end of justice. It we wait to have conspiracies proved by the pure and the virtuous, we must suffer then to go undetected. It is well for the peace of the cnuntry,it is wise and prudent to employ such characters in such exigencies, who can give from time to time information for the prevention, ex posure, or detection of crime. Now, as to another witness. David Sheehan—l wish to avoid any mistake from the confused use of words—'tis true he escaped from the police—be was an ac complice but never was arrested, but as an accomplice the share he had in the transaction was comparatively light. He was a Whiteboy I admit, a bad character, but he was no approver, and in this differs from Nowlan, as he game vo luntarily forward to give his informations. We have then the evidence of Thomas Murphy, one whom I do not know in what class to place, but he is net an approver In any other country than this it would be easy to assign his cha racter,'but from what we have seen of his betters, I am inclined ro look at him in a different light from what it appeared to me on Friday morning. He certainly is tainted with a knowledge of the conspiracy. He was in company with Daly, Magner, and Lynch, and knew what they were about, and I must leave to the Jury what opinion they'll form of a man who knowing of a conspiracy, was not so wicked as to join in nor so good as to expose it. Now as to the testimony against the prisoners it will be proved to you that the prisoner Connors has a station in the band—he ranks as a head committee man • for distinction sake we'll call the other pri vates. Connors is a farmer of substance, he acts in this conspiracy, in the general character of a commander, and in the particular one of a directing power. and appointed Nowlin to meet hies at the fair of Rathclare. You'll have it proved to you that Sheehan met Wallis on the 27th of April last, when be (Sheehan) was sworn in by a man named Leary, and that there they discussed the shooting of these gentlemen. Nowlan saw Wallis at Doneraile on the 20th of June, and again returning from the fair of Mallow, on Shrove Tuesday, the: day after the attempt on Mr. Low, at John's Grove, when he lamented its want of success. On the fair of Mallow, was with Magner, Daly, and James Magrath, for the coming of Mr. Low. Murphy will prove that they arranged to leave the fair for that purpose, Lynch not coming up, as he was stationed out side as a scout. Now as to Connors—it will be proved—and this is important—that Connors attended the meeting to Duane's tent, at the fair of Rathclare, on the 27th of April. This meeting was held in consequence of the failure of the attempt on Mr. Low, in March. It was no common meeting, met for particular purposes, not in assembly of privates, but a meeting of the Chiefs of the Committee to issue their orders to the people of Kildorrery, to assist in the undertaking. Nowlan will tell he met Edmond Con nora, who told him to attend that meeting. The poor and the in fatuated were to be called to action, to the toilsome part, whilst the Committe-men undertook the direction, furnished the drink, and took cognizance of the arms and ammunition. He sat in compa rative safety, and issued his commands, which must be implicitly obeyed—why, there exists no greater tyranny. This man lives in a slated house ; you won't hear of him exposing himself to personal danger. Nowlan goes to Ratbclare, and there he sees the Com mittee ; Daly will tell you he and Nolan met there. There sat this Committee, with their band of agents, furnished with pen, ink, and paper, and issuing their mandates for the murder of those who dared souse compliance with their commands. This will be proved to you. Owen Daly, a person totally unimplicated, not even guilty of a misprision of the crime, will prove—l don't know if this Connors I . e the man, but when he comes let him identify him if he be— he'll prove to you, that he saw a Mr. Connors, and a person whom they called Mr. Burke, and another whom they called Mr. Mur phy, and you will gather from the little he can tell, and the caution with which he gives his evidence, that if this prosecution be founded in conspiracy, be is not a sharer in it. Now for the fourth prisoner, Barrett. Did Barrett know Mr. Creagh? This is an important question. Mr. Creagh had variances with his te nants. It will be proved to you that Barrett expressed an inten tion of becoming a tenant to Mr. Creagh for a piece of grazing mountain, and if not received as a tenant, that he threatened to coerce Mr. Creagh into a compliance with his wishes, by express ing an intention to bough any cattle that might be put there to graze. So much for Barrett. To come to a knowledge of his motives and disposition : after Dr. Norcott's carriage had been fired at, Barrett told Daly that 'twas Mr. Creagh was the intended victim. He also complained that Mr. Creagh might have been successful if he interfered for his (Barratt's) brother, when be stood his trial in another county. Barrett met Daly at Done raile, on Easter Sunday. and asking him to drink at a publican's, named Roche, he inquired of him whether he had seen any of " the brothers," or Captain Creagh, and added that they were to form a party to shoat Creagh, who hanged his brother, and he'd have blood for blood. The causes which these men assigned for attempting the lives of their intended victims were various. If these causes were facts of notorious existence, a conscientious man may doubt before he'd credit the witnesses. If they swore that the plan against Mr. Creagh was formed for instance in April, and that Mr. Creagh did not become obnoxious until the month after, though one cause may be ingeniously made, there could be a pro vidential discovery of this inconsistency, w hich would throw dis credit over the entire prosecution. You will see that Shine is im plicated. There are two causes for the murder of Mr. Creagh— first, his alleged general harshness as a landlord, and then we have Shine's particular enmity in consequence of his brother's transpor tation. Mr. Creagh will teU you that he has a number of tenants whose rents (they have no leases) were changed with the changing prices of the times, and to whom, when looking for leases, he would not grant them at the very minimum of rent paid during the depression of the times. You will find that in the September of 1808, a formal notice was served on one of the Shines, and an ejectment was being executed on another, and that an announce ment of these was matte many months before the April of 1829. The Solicitor General here detailed the means by which the con spirators ascertained that Mr. Creagh was to dine with Admiral Evans, as well as the circumstances of the attack on Dr. Nor cint's carriage, which they mistook for that of Mr. Creagh. The Learned Gentleman also described the attempt to assassinate Mr. Low, as disclosed in the evidence on the former trial. The several witnesses alluded to in the preceding statement were then examined, and deposed to the conspiracy on the part of the prisoners to murder the three gentlemen named in the in dictment. The evidence was similar to that disclosed on the former trial. 'lle witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. O'ConnELL. The following is a pat t of the cross-examination of Nowlan -- I took my oath that I would shoot Mr. Creagh. and undoubt edly I would have done so only for hurting my leg. I went out to kill Mr. Low, and only that Mr. Nagle was with him 1 was reauy to shoot him. I would shoot twenty, or thirty, or forty of them. Would rather kill the police than the Kirg's troops. I wou:d shoot all the gentlemen in the county of Cork, and yet I ant a conscientious fellow. Thr Counsel questioned witness here about his having petjured himself. The Counsel for the Crown denied that witness did so in break ing the Whiteboy oath. Mr. O'Cossma. maintained, that the doctrine of the Church to which he (Mr. O'Connell) and the approver belonged was, that the breaking of a lawful oath, or the breaking of a false one, is perjury. Baron PiNtIZDA7HICR-.4 never heard of such doctrine as that beftlte Mr. O'Connell. _ Mr. CECouitax—l assure you 'tis so, my Lord. Examination resumed—lt was a damnible crime fur me to take an oath to murder the gcnifeinen. and I took it with all my heart ; I would hive shot the louts, lady in the carriage—l u mid not spate her—(A thrill of horror passed through the Court at this ott. serration.) lam wearing to save my life, and I would not at:l - a word only to save myself. The evidence for the''Proarcution and dense being claret!, Mr. Justice Tourist turned round and addresses the Jury, and concluded by observing, that whilst on the one hand they bad to consider that the lives of the prisoners were placed in their hands, r 1 they were, at the same time, to protect the Uses and liberties of others, and to do all in their power to establish the peace of the country, which looked up to them for a due and firm administra tion of justice. The Jury then retired, and having remained out for upwards of 40 minutes, their Lordships sent to know whether they were likely to agree in their verdicts an answer in the negative was returned, and at half-past 11 the Court adjourned for half an hour, bailits being first sworn to keep :he Jury. The Court at this time presented a most interesting spectacle, crowded even beyond its utmost capability of 3CCol2llllodekl4l, with an eager and anxious multitude, whose countenances as they ought the scattered lights, which scantily Illuminated the extre mity of the Court, expressed the deep interest which all felt in the result. The prisoners themselves, upon whom a full light fell in front of the dock, evinced in this moment no emotion which could distinguish them from the less interested, but appateutly not less anxious crowd around them. They preserved to the last that steadiness and intrepidity of demeanour which characterised them through the day's proceedings. The scene without was not less imposing. The avenues to the Court, and the adjacent streets and passages were blocked up with anxious multitudes. eagerly inquiring Irons those, whom pressure and weariness drove from the Court, hew far the trial had advanced in its pro gress, and what was likely to be the result. From nine this morning up to the pre.ent hour, the greater number of persons present at the trial had not quitted their stations. The solemnity of the -cene was particularly heightened by the presence of a troop of the Scotch Greys, who were stationed at the principal entrance of the Court during the latter part of the trial in fixed unmoving stillness, until the departure of the Judges at the adjournment, and then paraded through Castle -street, awaiting their return. •PJOURNJITNT or TUN COURT. After the adjournment of the Court, their Lordships retired to their lodging for a short time, and returned at one o'clock, where they sent to the Jury to ascertain if they were likely to agree. The Foreman returned word that, from appearances, there was not the smallest likelihood of it. Their Lordships expressed their intention of waiting for some considerable time. TUESDAY — FIFTH DAY.) This morning, at nine o'clock, the Court-house was opened, and in a short time filled to excess. . At a quarter past ten o'clock, Mr. Baron Penneiather and Mr. Justice Torrens entered, and took their places, and were soon joined by Lord Carbrry. Baron Primerarium having directed the Jury, which had been locked up all night, to he conducted into Court, the Gentlemen peared. Clerk of the Crown—Gentlemen, have you agreed to your ver dict? Several of the Jurors essayed to address the Court. The Foreman, handing down the issue paper—" We have not agreed, my Lord, except in the acquittal of Barrett." Baron PENNEFAMM—Then, Gentlemen, I cannot discharge you. A Juror..-There is no possibility of our agreeing, my Lord. Justice Tomes—You had better renew your deliberation. Juror—My Lord, we have been discussing the subject over and over, but the gentleman remains unconvinced. Indeed we fell asleep over the matter at six this morning. Another Juror—The gentleman seems indisposed to give cre dence to any thing. Justice TOMMY—His mind, then, must be differently consti tuted from all ~then. _ _ Juror—We are all disposed to give the prisoners the benefit of every doubt. and silicussrd the evidence with that view ; but one Gentleman held out against the opinions of the others. Another Juror—l'Lrliaps, my Lord, if your Lordship would throw out sonic suggestion+, his mind might become enlightened. Mr. Justice 'Coniston then re-stated the material parts of the evidence, and the Jury retired again, and the Court continued hustled in silence, when— The SOLICITOR:GENIMAL soon after rose, and said that during the proceedings of the Commission, his whole object was the promotion of the public interests. He had just had a conference with his Learned Friends for the Crown, the result of which was that it was deemed expedient not to proceed in any cases, until those with the Jury were terminated one way or another. Baron PINNEFATHER—I must wait as long as the Crown chooses ; but I am happy the prisoners are so well a‘sisted. Mr. HENNX77—We have come down to discharge our duties on this important Commission. I believe lam pretty well known to the Gentlemen of this county, and I think they will give me credit fur sincerity when I assure them most solemnly, that neither myself nor any of the Counsel for the Crown—that no one con nected with the Crown in these triah, has any other desire or object but public justice ; and I do hope that if what has been said is meant as an insinuation that we, or either of us, would dare to make undue impression upon the public mind, the Gentlemen of this country will not receive it. Mr. °Tow/int—My Lord, I have had the honour of thirty years' experience at the Bar—many of which have been spent in your Lordship's presence, in a professional way—and I now say, that during these years, let your Lordship's decision have been in favour of or against, the prisoners, I never felt otherwise than that the prisoner should be perfectly satisfied, and the more particularly as his Counsel was so. I did hear the parade of public justice made a while ago ; I had my own feelings upon the exhibition ; but does my estimable friend—whose character I so much revere —does he think I would insinuate aught against him? No, nu; but if his high legal character is to be thrown out as a make weight upon these trials, I deny its applicability. lam prevented, my Lord, from alluding to the mode adopted of conducting these trials-- Mr. Bitmarr—Nothing has been done in them without my fullest concurrence. Mr. Sergeant Goot.n—And mine also. • Baron Pinion's:rim—l must stop these observations. I have no object in view but the fulfilment of public duty. The Gentle men of the Crown have an arduous duty to discharge ; bat they will discharge it firmly, steadily—with integrity, and as much hu manity as the nature of the case will permit. The Counsel for the prisoners are very competent—l know none more competent than Mr. O'Connell ; and with such Juries as we have, there can be no doubt of justice being obtained. That attained; our object Is attained. The mode of trial established under our Constitution—a mode unequalled—a mode I hope that may exist while the world lasts— a mode which best secures our property and lives—this mode of trial is of itself a safeguard against undue impressions, even if In tended, having weight. But what fell from the Solicitor General was as little intended, as it was calculated, to internee the public mind as to the future trials. Mr. O'Connell misapprehended the Solicitor General, just as I was misapprehended on the first day of the Commission. Mr. Sergeant Gooxro--I have the honour to know, and to be known, ha this great county. I look, therefore, for credit, for sincerity; and I assure the assembled county, that throughout the whole of these proceedings the Solicitor General has not taken a single step without the fullest concurrence of myself and Learned Friends for the Crown. Baron PENNILTATNIII—Every one that knows the Solicitor Ge neral needs not be assured of that. The Soucixoa-Gesznat —My Lord, lam proud of the appro bation which this extraordinary conversation has elicited ; but, my Lord, there is one thing of which I am more proud, the disappro bation I have met from others. Mr. O'Coutietx—My observation was founded on fact. lam sorry to see Sergeant Gould identifying himself with the statement of yesterday, for I know the Sergeant well. Here the conversation closed. Soctosoa-Gxnaitec—My Lords, on consulting with my learned friends, and considering the late hour of the day, I am not pre p fired to go on with any cases at present, but shall be ready at nine o'clock to morrow morning. lam sorry to be •bliged to put the Gentlemen summoned as jurors to inconvenience; but I ant confi dent they will see the necessity of attending punctually, in order to enable us to finish the business as speedily as possible. Baron Panearasnex—Then you must be prepared to proceed at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Souceroe 6111811 AL-I shall, my Lord, be ready to take a de. finitior course to-morrow morning. Baron Petaterasuae—lle.ore we adjourn the Court, Mr. She riff, ask the Jury do they agree. The Sinew proceeded to make the inquiry, and on his return stated, that the Jury said there was no likelihood of their agreeing. They soon after appeared. On their appearance, The Foreman said, that there ►till continued obstinate one Gentleman ; he says nothing can convince or move hint ; he will give nu reason, and will net allow his mind to be convinced on the subject. Coons—We feel for the situation of the Jury ; but having suf ficiently explained before the tiatute and circumstances of the evi dence produced upon the trial, we cannot interfere. The Court does not arrogate any right or power over the conscience of any Juror. It the Gentleman wants any information or explanation ou the subject, we shall feel happy to give it. Mr. Morrogh—My Lords, I ant the individual who differs from his brother Jurors on this trial. I cannot agree with them, fur the character given by the witnesses for the prosecution of themselves was such, that I wo•ld not believe • tingle tittle of their evidence. Coutes—Gentlemen, in cases where approvers or accomplices cone forward to give evidence, and where there is a corroboration between them, as to frets, you •may give credence to them. If Cher tell you a story connected together by a chain of facts, which facts are in part subttamiated by the evidence of others, not impli cated. then it ii for you to believe them or not. You will see I am only pa: ing a case us poi at ;it is for you, and you alone, to decide. I Metre you My Learned Brother and myself feel for the unpleasantness of your situation. We feel that you have exercised your duty as Jurors in a most conscientious and proper manner. Having given you my opinion as to what the law is, you may retire. Juror—My Lord, we are starved alive—(Laughter.) Juror—l suppose your Lordrhip will allow me a draught of water. I could not get it last night, and I have been recently very di. There is another gentleman who has the gout, and I there fore hope your Lordship will do something for us. After the Jury had retired, the Sheriff informed his Lordship that one of them was extremely ill. Their Lordships said in a few moments they would decide upon the question. SOLICITOIMOENZILLL—On the part of the Crown, my Lords, I consent that the Jury shall have every proper accommodation and refreshment under your Lordships' guidance. Mr. Otorean4.—On the part of the prisoners, I consent that the Jury should receive such accommodation ; but, my Lord, you surely will discharge them before the termination of this Commission. Comm—We cannot look to the termination of this Commission : we may sit here for a month. When the King orders Judges to proceed to any part of the kingdom to administer justice, they can not fix a time for such administration to cease; we will have a physician to report on the state of the Juror. Mr. OTONNELL.-4 consent, my Lord, to their being discharged. I would rather my clients should remain in gaol until next Assizes. If you give the Jury refreshment, you may as well at the same time discharge them. Coons—l ant not aware they can be discharged without the con sent of the Attorney or Solicitor-General; but if a person serving on a Jury becomes ill, and that his illness is apparent, the Court may discharge the Jury. Mr. O ' CONNELL... 4 thought your Lordships understood the Counsel at the opposite side consented. Souceron Gomm—Our opinion is. we can do nothing. We offer no opposition ; and I for myself disclaim any idea of inter ference on my part. I leave it entirely to the discretion of your Lordships. Mr. O'Commx.c—ln the state trials, the King against Harley, the Jury went home eleven nights in succession. Comm—Before that trial it was supposed that an adjournment could take place in a capital case, but there is a change since that period. Mr. O'Constzt.s—ln the case of the King against Richards, one of the Jury became ill, and the Court discharged them. Mr. Bar:new—Oh, but that was a Nisi Pr ius case. Mr. O'Connzt.L—l am glad I got so much out of you. Baron PINNETATHEN—A case occurred to me at Ennis. A man was upon his trial for a capital offence, and one Gentleman who was on the Jury said he was so ill that his life was in danger. In consequence I ordered a physician to be sent up to the Juty room and report upon his case. I examined the doctor upon oath, and he stated that the Juror's life was in extreme danger if he was longer confined. I rook upon myself the responsibility of dis charging the Jury in consequence, and I asked no consent ; and on my mentioning the circumstances to other Judges, they told me I acted perfectly right. A conversation subsequently took place as to whether Barrett should be dismissed without security to keep the peace, when it was ruled by the Court that he should find bail to the amount of £2OO, himself in £lOO, and two others in Xs° each. The Counsel were engaged for the ensuing half hour in privately consulting law authorities, with the view to establish a case of pre cedence to enable the Jury to he discharged. Baron PENNIfATliza—As we are not otherwise engaged we may as well endeavour to learn something, but it appears to me that these is not a capital case in which the Jury have been discharged by consent of the Counsel for the Crown. Business was suspended altogether. Half-past Two o'Clock. Baron Paxszravnta—As the Jury are not likely to agree. I shall adjourn the Court for one hour. If they agree in the interim let us be sent for ; if they do not agree before night, we shall not come here until that time. In the meantime, Mr. Sheriff, should any Juror be taken ill, let a physician be procured for him. The prisoners were sent back to gaol, with the exception of the persons on their trial. The Judges then retired. Three o'Clock. The Jury had not returned a verdict up to this hour on Tuesday afternoon. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 30. Adjourned Sittings for Middlesex.—Special Juries. COOP'S O. ♦HDtIWII. This was an action to recover damages for an assault, and false imprisonment. The plaintiff, a respectable young man, clerk to sit Attorney, was passing the watch-house of St. Olave, Southwark, one night in March last, when the defendant, who is a constable, rushed upon him in a state of drunkenness, dragged him by the collar into the watch-house before the watch-house-keeper, and kept bim locked up all night. A person who applied to bail him was re jected. The next morning, at ten o'clock, the defendant gave him his liberty without making any charge before a Magistrate. Mr. Tstitssitan endeavoured to prove that the defendant had acted under the authority of a local Act of Parliament, but failed in that attempt. He then admitted that his client had behaved improperly. By his misconduct he had ruined himself ; and any damages the Jury might give would consign him to a prison. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £lO. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, Oct. 30. (Before Mr. Baron GARROW.) Wiliam &ay, aged forty-four, stood indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Richard Kemble, of lianwell, Mid. dlesex, on the 15th instant, and stealing therefrom a handkerchief, value 3s. his property. The prosecutor stated that on the morning of the 15th of this month he went out to work, and on his return he found the pri soner is bis house. The prisoner had been a lodger of his, and had left him but two days before. On enquiring what brought him there, he stated that he had come to get some money he had left. He gave him into custody, and, on searching him, the officer found the handkerchief in question. The Jary returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. James Cussosbsgs, aged 38, stood indicted for maliciously maiming, with intent to murder, Catherine his wife, on the sth of August last. Mr. C. Panties, for the prosecution, stated the case to the Jury. The prisoner is a tailor by trade, and on the day in ques tion he returned home to dinner, when he seized an iron, and struck the prosecutrix in the most brutal manner. She imme diately cried " Murder," when some of her neighbours came in, and rescued her. The proiecutriz was obliged to he supported by a nurse ; she appeared in the most dreadful state of weakness and anxiety of mind; she repeatedly said it was her fault, and it was with the greatest difficulty she could be prevailed on to give her evidence. She then deposed that she lives at No. 8. Church-lane, St. Giles's ; on the sth of August she was cooking a dinner for her husband and children. A few words ensued on her asking him why he did not bring her home some money? She struck him with the iron, when he said he had a great mind to strike her again, at which she dared him to do so; he then struck her and did her great bodily harm, from the effects of which she has ever since been suffering. After some deliberation the Jury returned a verdict of—Not Guilty. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Common Sergeant DINMAN and a Middlesex Jury. William Joints, aged 22 years, was found Guilty of stealing, on the 27th of September last, from his ready-furnished lodgings, two sheets, value 10s. the property of Richard Gillett Chivell Henry Jonas, aged 27 years, was indicted for stealing, on the 14th of August last, oue pair of boots, value 18s. the property of Wm. Howard, bootmaker, St. Martin's-court. Joseph Ostell, a constable, stated that during the evening in question, he observed the prisoner take off the pair of hoots now produced. from a tenter-hook, which was fixed in the door-post of the prosecutor's shop, with which he was about to run off, when he (Osten) took him into custody with the corpus Midi in his pos.ession. This bring the whole of the case, Mr. COMMON SERGEANT left it in the hands of the Jury, who immediately pronounced the pri soner Guilty; and, through their foreman, strongly reprobated the practice of exposing goods for sale on the outside of the shop. Nr. COMMON SERJRANT observed, that it was a great public grievance for persons thus to expose their property, thereby in ducing needy persons to become thrives by throwing a great temptation in their way. He, therefore, should not in this case allow the expences, except to the offices. Before 31r. Sencant 'Amu. 3fery Ann ifmseing. aged 27 years, was found guilty of stealing, on the 13th of October. a watch, two gowns, a shawl, 355. in monies, and various, other articles, the property of Agnes Ker ridge, in whose service the prisoner Wield. • liyom Mous, a Jrivelad, Wks convicted on two indictments of stealing various articles from drapers' shops in Wisitethapel.

BOW-STREET. Mary Turnbull, a child 13 yean of age, accompanied by her mother, a respectably dressed widow, with an infant in her arms, was introduced to the Magistrate by Mr. Thomas, Superintendent of the division, under the following distressing circumstances : Mr.. Turnbull having been lately left a widow with six children, having no better mode of support, has supplied the tailors' trade with needles, and Mary, her eldest child, was sent round with them. Of late, however, her mother found her conduct to be very undutiful and irregular, which caused her auvicion to be roused. She theretore made a rigid search, and found, to her grief, this comparatively speaking infant harboured in a brothel, kept byMrs. Lukin, Banbury-court, Hart-street, to which place she had been seduced by Mrs. Lukin to meet gentlemen, and where the child had been six or seven times before. Mr. Thomas, it appeared, has taken considerable pains to pro cure good testimony, with the view of rooting out this den of early infamy, and to those exertions we attribute an expose that baffles description. . . . . . Mrs. Lukin was placed at the bar, and it came out in evidence that her trade was exclusively with young children only—girls of 16 or 18 years, being deemed too old, are invariably refused ad- mittance. Three of these miserable victims gave the most clear evidence against the defendant, in which the whole machinery of this vile place was laid open. Nine girls of a similar age. were on Wednesday apprehended by Mr. Thomas, and all sent to prison for seven days each. The Magistrate (Mr. MlnsuuLL) very warmly concurred in the measure adopted to put a stop to such dreadful traffic. The woman, Lutin. was held to bail, to answer the complaint at the Sessions, and the Magistrate also desired Mr. Thomas to procure the parish to indict the house. BIRTH. Sunday, at Gopsall, the Countess Howe, of a son. NEWCiATE AND LEADENBALI. MARKETS, OCT. 38. Beet .....
