However, Bond, an active officer belonging to Bow-street, was not in timidated by his reported threats, and nutlertook to go in pursuit of him. The name of Bond was already well known to the gang of smugglers, as he had previously ap prehended six of them. Last Monday enrolls' he received pri s,,re information that Daniel Fagg was in a house at St. Mildred's, in Cauterhury, where he repaired, accompauied with two able apaistante, aware he should meet with a des perste resistance, and to guard against an escape, one of these be stationed at the front door, and the other at the rear. flood contrived to gain admittaure into the house, but Not without a considerable degree of management sod ma nmuvring, and proceeded wills all speed to ICI.I ••14 t►e house, having Ito doubt but that Daniel Fagg was in it. in the lower part of the house be heard a noise which he hart no doubt proceeded from the rattliug of bricks, he followed the "oh*, rid found it proceeded from making an aperture ihroagla the wall under the cellar stairs isiou the adjoining house, whirl,, iso doubt, had been previously arranged and Prireared.

The desperate gang were not content with having committed that murder, bat they fired at Henry Judd, the gamekeeper, and at Noyes, Martin, Jackson, Timer, and Holmes, who were badly wounded, and some of them dangerously. The poachers made • precipitate re treat after having committed their horrid deeds towards Quarley, leaving two of their gone.

Au engage onent then commenced, in the course .of which Halloran and Fitzgerald were taken pri.oners, dressed in white shirts. The offence was clearly established; but only two of them were convicted, the Jury having acquitted Moran, as it appeared that he had been compelled by the White Boys to leave his house, and join the party on the night on which the murder was committed by them. H.I loran and Fitzgerald received sentence of death, and they were ordered for execution on Thursday. The twat was the trial of Michael Kelly and Thomas Kelly, who were indicted for having taken firm•artns from Mr. Christopher Spartnig, of Rusheba, on tl.e 16th of last July. That Mr. Sparling was the person who was afierwaris attack ed and mortally wounded by • party of the peasan try ; hut the offence fo► which the culprits were in dicted was folly proved by the testimony of his widow, of hit daughter, Sarah Shire, and of a vet. vast named Mary Anti Grouse, who was • very telligent witness. Mr. Yokes, an active and intre pid Magistrate, also gave evidence. The Jury found the Prisoners at the bar Guilty, but sentence was not passed on theni on Tuesday. James Jourdan was then put on his told, .for having taken fire-arms from George Spading, on the 11th of last November ; but, on the examina tion nit the first witness, George Sperling, he up. neared to have some doubt whether lie could iden tify the Prisoner at the bar as the person who com mitted the offence.
