Mr. Toplis, Eurveyor to the Sun rire Office, Pposeil, that on the morning after the tire he examined premises in question. The fire in the cupboard of the parlour could not possibly have been caused by that in the cellar ; nor if these had been a fire in the stove of the parlour that night, could it have caused the fire in the cupboard. All the pi u perty in the house that cone under the denomination of wrath's apparel and plate. &c. amounted in suite• to no more than 1151. It bad been insured fur leool. The stock in trade und utensils, a bleb had been insured for .1001. acre worth no more than 961.8s.—Bates said he had 10-t a port manteau cola:tilling a quantity of plate, which had hem placed underneath his bed, and he enumerated the articles it contained. Witness told Bates, the circumstances of the sire was so suspicions that he conceived he would rot be paid one farthing, and lie replied that it was a hard ease. The prisoner addressed the Jury in his defence at a considerable length, and stated a variety of circumstances bearing in his favour, and solemnly protested his innocence. lu support of his assertions, Mr. Alley called the following witnesses in his behalf. Eliza Ryder lived servant at the house, and was in the babit uf keeping the woad for lighting Ili• tires in the cellar, and candles in the closet of the parlour. A cat behingins. to the house, had a severe burn nu her back the morning after the fire. The primmer and his family slept in sheets. Mr. B.

MURDER. 011 Friday Edward Callaghan, Mary Donovan, \Vin, Donovan, and Daniel Donovan, were indicted for the wilful murder of Jeremiah Carthy on the `loth of July last. _ _ Mr. Jessop addressed the Jury on behalf of the pro secution. Sarah Williams was the. first witness called. From her evidence it appeared, that on the night when the murder was alleged to have been cot 1111 l itted, the de ceased was sitting in the George Public house, White chapel, with two EnAlishmen, smoking a pipe. The prisoners, who are natives of Ireland, were also present. Ike whole were engaged in dancing. home of them asked the deceased it' he would get up and dance. The deceased r. se for that purpose, when he was immedi ately struck by the prisoner Callaghan. Sonic persons present persuaded him to sit down again, and he held out his hand to Callaghan. Whist daring this he re ceived another blow nom a man named Garvey, who is not yet la custody. 'lnc prisoner ' Mary lataiovan, then came up and made some reinark to the deceased, intimating that she considered him as the bully of the Englishmen. The whole of the prisoners then, assisted by Garvey, laid hold of the deceased and drageed him into the yard in Gerge-court. Witness saw William Garvey attempt to jump oar the bead of the deceased, all the prisoners standing by at the time. Witness then went into her own house, and whilst sitting by the tire side her door was broke open by Garvey.—Garvey seized the poker. W IllleSS then observed another person, of the name of Silvester Mardvn, {tisk the deceased vio lently. At the same time Garvey struck hint with the poker three times. When the deceased got up, Mary Donovan threw a brick at him. Witness did not oh- serve ‘vhether the brick %truck the deceased, but the last words which he uttered mete, " You have cut ou• with a brick-bit." During the struggle Mary Donovan pro cure(' •ttroo; sticks, which she distributed among the men, tome of whom bent the deceased with thcm.— Tile tlece.L.Lit tsar at lentil ir,r tied from his dreadful THE NATIONAL REGISTER. situation by smite Englishmen whom his cries called to the spot. the prisoners and the rest of their companions then went away. Witness swore positively, that when Garvey snuck die deceased with the poker, Edward C illaghan, Daniel Donovati, and Mary Donovan were present. Site was lint certain whether Wm. Donovan was present. The deceased then went to a surgeon's Slime in the neighlxmrhood. Sarah Williams was cross-examined by Mr. Barry.— Her husband is at sea; she was never prosecuted; had never been in a Court before; was once imprisoned, about five years ago; she was two days there , with this single exception, she had nes.2r before been in any trou ble of the kind. There might be tow or two more men in the public-house besides those she had mentioned. — She knew the prisoners belOre the affray. The door of her house was thirty yards front the George. She saw the deceased at work a short time after the accident had happened; he had then a handkerchief tied round his head. Saw the deceased three or four times before the prisoners were apprehended. John Fortesepie, a butcher, residing in George-yard, and one of the Englishmen with whom the deceased was sitting when the outrage commenced, was exa mated, touching the rarticullis. His account differed in some respects front that given by Williams. Ile described the deceased as following him quietly into the yard, instead of being dragged out in the manner de scribed by the forger witness. He accompanied the deceased to the doctor's the following morning, and saw hit ietninds dressed. There was a large fracture on the besides stone smaller Moises. He was only pre sent at one dressing. The large wound had the appear ance of having been jammed in with a poker. The doctor who first dressed the wound has now removed to Prinee's.street, in cross-exammation, the witness said, that the pri smite went out of the public-house before him, and that lie was followed by Carthy. He believed no one drag ged Carthy, but he could not see behind him. He could not tell whether sticks or the poker were first used, but thought that the poker was. Did not recollect seeing Mrs. Williams there. \Vitness was desired to look at Mrs. Williams, and he then immediately recognized her as having been in the tavern. The first assault was committed in consequence of the deceased speaking to the servant girl, when he was immediately " pitched into" by two of the prisoners. ‘fitness and deceased drank a pot of beer together the next day, and the day following that they drank a quantity of gin mid beer. On the Sunday morning deceased was quite deranged. Did not recollect whether they then drank together. Witness persuaded hint to go to the Hospital. Witness formerly was a butcher, but has now retired upon a suffice...icy of 325. a week. Had been before magistrates for petty assaults, but always honourably acquitted. Re-exammed by Mr. Jessop.—it was in consequence of the intimation that they would be murdered twat be and Carthy left the public-house. Julius Nuttorff, the apothecary, was examined. Ile said lie ordered a hair-dresser to shave the head of the deceased, but he could not, and witness did it himself. The wound on the right side of the skull was a very dangerous one it appeared to have been inflicted with a blunt piece of iron, t-nd great force had been used. He saw the deceased after his death, and then saw that the skull was fractured. The man was not able to work. Cross examined.—Deceased was intoxicated when brought in. A slight wound might have been danger ous in such a state. He saw the deceased twice tidier wards much intoxicated, and he came to hint once without plaisters, or any dressing on his head. This witness's assistant spoke to the same facts. Mr. W. Self, a pupil at the London Hospital, de posed, that on the QOM of July the deceased was brought to the Hospital. Ile examined him, and found several wounds on his head, which appeared to have been in flicted by sonic obtuse weapon. The wounds appeared to have been given several days prior to that time, and the inflammation of the scalp had considerably subsided. There was a slight fracture of the skull, but no depres sion. Ile could not ascribe tlie death of the man to any other C3ll c than that of the blow : that, in fact, was the primary and original cause of the patient's death, but he might Wive recovered by temperance mid proper medical assistance. Will lilt unethical aid lie would have died, had he been ever so temperate. This closed the case for the prosecution, and the pri soners in their defence merely said they were innocent. Dennis Sullivan was the first winless called for the defence. He was at time door of the George public-house on the night in qiiestion, and saw the prisoners and others come out or the house followed by Jeremiah Canby, the deceased, and tight or nine ()tilers of " his party." Canby calico alter the prisoners, bin they took no notice of him. One of Carthy's companions then threw a brick at the prisoners, anti a commenced. After the fight was user one o. Carthy's party called the pri .)uner, M. Doom an, very gross names. Tie light was a general one between the two parties,and was carried with bricks and sticks. Canby was encouraging his party, by saying'' go it my buys," alid other similar expressions. lu witness's opinion tile prisoners and their I stands would have gone home quietly, had they not been called alter by Carthy. He saw earthy the next day at the George public-house, and two or three mornings after he met him in the Commercial-road, at hall-pasi six in the morn ing, with a bundle under his arm. Cross-examined.—The hard names were called by Carthy, after the battle was over. Several witnesses gave the prisoners a good character for humanity. Mr. ldifoil Graham summed up the evidence at great kngth, which occupied his Lordsf tip two limas. 'lnc Jury then retired for bo minutes, and upon their mom linllloUliCed :ill tile IniMilltlS Guilty of Man slaughter. 'Tie prisoner Mary Donovan fainted twice pending the proceedings, which occupied the Court from ten ill the morning till eight at night. SHIP NEWS. BUENOS AIRES.
