_ _ _ . - , ROME CIRCUIT. SURREY ASSIZES, KIXOSTOX, Mattes 17. CIVIL SIDE. IYILLIAMS V. COOKE AND , This was an action of trespass for dispossessing the plaintiff of I the Surrey Thyme. The defendants pit stint the general issue. ' Mr. 31AIIRTATT, MR. OVIINET, And Mr. Cosevet conducted the plaintiff's cue, and Mr. ADOLP:II79 and Mr. CHITTY the defendants'. The case proved i t evidence was this r—the plaintiff, Mr. AVil liams, had been tenant to Mr. West of the Surrey Theatre, at a rent of 1,2001. per annum. In the month of December DOS, the defendants, Mr. Cooke, and. Mr. Mitchell, sued out a commission of bankrupt against him. and on the Bth of that month the defend ants, one of whom was flambee, the messenger, end Mr. Niblett, the solicitor to the commission, together with several other persons, went to the theatre in the evening before the house opened and took possession. At that time the Sheriff was also in p ossession under en execution far 1.V.20 at the suit of the plaintira mother. An larrangement then took place, by which it was egretd that the ferrear.ces at the theatre should go on, a person being appointed at the insiance of the defendants, to overlook the money takers, end keep an rcesamt of the receipts. Next day some printed hand bills were posted In St. Deorge's Fields, and at the theatre, an nouncing that the house was closed until a day therein mentioned ; but in the course of the same day most of them were loin down or covered over with fresh bills. It did not appear at whose instance this advertisement was made. No stop to the performances took place. On 15th Dec.thecomntisslon against plalntiffwas superseded by the Lord Chancellor, and on that day the defendants, who had retained possession till then, restored it to the plaintiff. In the in. terval there had been performances every night at the theatre. Under these cireamstances the present action was brought. It was alleged that the commission had beeff sued out against the elaintiff with knowledge on the part of the defendants that it could not be sustained ; that their object in doing this was to ruin the plaintiff; and that they had acted under the sinister influence of some of the plaintiffs enemies. Of these allegations, however, there wrs no proof. The plaintiff was described in the proceedings under the commission as a vintner of the Old Bailey, but no evidence was given of trading, petitioning creditor's debt, or alleged act of bank ruptcy. It appeared on the crosa.enamination of the plaintiff's wimesees, that about the period of the alleged bankruptcy, he was ht embarrassed circumstances, and about that period was not always visible at the theatre. The effect of the proceedings taken against the plaintiff; was to bring his creditors upon him, who had thrown him into the Fleet prison, a here he is now confined as a prisoner for debt. The defendants had paid the costa of supersed ing the commission. Mr. ADOLPH us addressed the Jury in mitigation of damages, and contended that there was no pretence for this action. There was no proof of any serious injury sustained by the plaintiff. The defendants had acted in good faith and under the advice of their Solicitor, who had been of opinion that the commission of bank ruptcy was sustainable. A verdict for a shilling would, he sub muted, amply satisfy the justice of the ease. No witnesses were called in defence. The LOUD CHIEF Swim,/ summed up the case for the Jury. The Jury found their verdict foe the plairailf—Damages 1001. WILLIAMS v. DELAFORCE AND OTHERS. This was an action on the case by the same plaintiff, against the defendants. for damage done to the scenery of the Surrey theatre, whilst the latter was tenant thereof to the plaintiff. Mr. Marryatt, Mr. Gurney, and Sir. Chitty conducted the plain tiff's ease ; and Mr. Sergeant Taddy and Mr. Comyn the defend awe'. It appeared, that in consequence of the plaintiff's embarrass ments, after the transaction mentioned in the last case. he found it necessary to underlet the theatre to the defendants, Messrs. Dela. force, Micklethwaite, and St. Old, at thirty pounds a week. An agreement was entered into in September, WM, with the defend ants, on those terms; and they conducted the business of the theatre t:'r a considerable time. The plain tiff wilting to have the pos session again, terminated the tenancy by a notice. The defendants wished still to retain possession, but at length gave it up. When the plaintiff returned to the theatre he discovered that much of the scenery was wilfully damaged. A great many of the side scenes, which were painted in water colours, were washed over with a brush, and rendered useless. This was alleged to have been dons wilfully. It was alleged, that in consequence of this injury, the plaintiff' was put to great expense and delay before he could open the theatre to the public. 11'itnesses were called to prove the esti mate of damage. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction, found their Ter. - . . 50/. diet for ttfelitintiff—Damages os. . LOVELL V. ELDER AND , OTHERS. This wu an action of assault and battery. Plea the general lisle. Mr. GURNEY and Mr. Comvx conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. KaIIRYATT and Mr. Sergeant Laws:s the defence. The plaintiff is a painter and glazier, of Bow-lane, Cheapside. On Sunday the 16th of January, last year. the plaintiff and a friend having been to witness a foot-race, stopped at the Black Horse pub lic-house at Brixton, and called for a pint of beer. They were served by Berry the landlurd, and the money was put upon the hatch door. Atter drinking the beer they quitted and were walk ing away, when they were pursued by Elden and Berry. The former collared the plaintiff, and charged him with having gone off without paying for the beer. The term swindler was applied to him, and Berry shoved against and taxed him with haying intended to cheat him of the pint of beer. The plaintiff was brought back and detained shout ten minutes. Under these circumstances the action was brough.. Several witnesses were called in defence, to prove, first, that the plaintiff had not, in point of fact, paid for the be er; second, that no offensive language had been used by the defenda nts ; and third, that no assault whatever had been committed. The evidence on both sides went to the Jury, and they found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Is. CROWN SIDE. William Cherry 'was indicted for assaulting and violently abusing Susannah Nightingale, against her will, on the 21st of December. at Hotity. Mr. THESSIO en conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Anol.- len era the defence. The prnsecutrix was a young woman, of 21, and was servant to Ale Wright, a farmer at Charlwood, where her father was a labourer. On the 27th of December last, she went to visit her sister, who was in the service of 31r. Turner, a gentleman residing at Ilorsehill, in the parish of Horley. The prisoner, who is about thirty-two years of age, also lived as groom in Mr. Turner's family. The prosecrutrix's sister pressed her to stay dinner. During dinner the prisoner, who. sat at the name table, inquired of the girl which way she proposed to go home. S'ae told him by the turnpike-road. He squeezed her hard. She desired him to desist. About 5 o'clock is the evening she quitted Mr. Turner's house for the purpose d going home. It was raining, and the evening wen dusky. When she got into the mad, the prisoner, who had been waiting in as adjoining lane, came up to her, and offered to point her out a shorter way home across the fields, and to accompany her. She, however, said she was not afraid to go home alone. He oftbred to carry her umbrella; she declined, but he took it from her. They walked together for about half a mile. until they came to • mile. atone, when the prisoner laid hold of her, and intimated that he had at improper object in view, and that he must effect his pur. pose before they parted. She told him he should do no such thing. He then pushed her against a mile -stone, and conducted himself in a manner not proper to mention. After pulling of his great coat he tbrew her down, and committed the injury corn plained of. She seresnied loudly and called for help during the struggle. Per voice might have been heard half a mile ofr. The prisoner haying effected his purpose, induced her to walk • little way with him. Through fear of further violence she laid hold of his arm. When she got to the house of a Mr. Jordan, about half a mile off. she told the latter what had happened, when Mr. Jordan offered to give her protection for the night, which she declined, as she had no permission from her mistress to stay out all night. He then sent his son with her part of the way to her father's house. When she got home she immediately told her father and mother of the violence she had suffered, and similar complaint was matte to her sister. In two days afterwasda she went before a Magistrate, and the prisoner, who had not slis aconded, was immediately taken up. Her father and a neighbest or two had gone to the prisoner in the interval, but what passed es that occasion she did not know. The girl told her story in an art. less and apparently credible manner. hhe had an impediment In her speech. Jordan and Nightingale, the girl's father, were called to corroborate her in her testimony as to her subsequent conduct. The girl herself, on lice Qom-examination, solemnly denied certain conversations alleged to have paired betwees bet and two persons named Tulet and wife, in which she was supposed to have acquitted the prisoner of violence, The girl's father, and the witness Jordan, were cross-examined, for the purpose of showing that the former was willing to compromise the matter with the prisoner upon payment of money. The father admitted that he had consulted his master, 31r. Marsh, upon the subject, and consented to abide by what be Proposed to do in the business. He denied that he had authorised 31r. Marsh to take a sum of money, but he admitted his supposi tion that the matter might end in that way. His daughter never authorised him to compromise the charge for money, nor did she know what Mr. Marsh was to do in the business'. In their way to the house of the prisoner's master they met the prisoner, and he was asked whether he had not ill used the prnsecutrix in the man lier she had complained ? He admitted that he had walked with fey but that lie had not misused her. He salted the father it he Seuld give him change for a sovereign. The father declined having say thing to say to him, and proceeded with Mr. Marsh and Jor. dan to the house of Mr. Turner. who being then engaged could OK attend to the matter. The father also denied on his cross-ex smination that he had said to Mr. Turner's cook that he would eampromite the matter for money. He admitted he was ready to abide by what Mr. Marsh should do in the business; but his daughter was not privy to what was proposed, nor had she ever given her content to take money. The prisoner in his defence said, that what had taken place be tween him and the i.rosecutrin was not against her will. 31r. Turner was called to prove that upoo hearing what the pri. Boner was charged with he paid him his sages, and desired him to quit his place ; but the prisoner chose to stay. The prisoner was his groom, and he bore a good character. The man named Tulet, above-mentioned, was called to contra dict the prosecutrix, and he swore that in conversation with hint and his wile the day after, she denied that any violence had been used towards her by the prisoner. The prosecutris interposed, and in the most earnest manner said the witness had taken • false oath ; and that no such conversation as that mentioned by him had ever taken place.

Mr. VENAILLS opened the pleading's. The ATTONNEY-GENENAI. stated, that this was an action brought by the plaintiff; a singer appointed by the defendant, who is the officiating Minister of St. Stephen's Church, at Liverpool. for a small sum due to him for weges, which the defendant had refused to pay, tinder the circumstances that would appear in the evidence. The Learned Gentleman then called— George Ouse, examined by Mr. VENancEs—He has bees the master of the orchestra of St. Stephen's church, Liverpool. Ile has been there two years. 31r. Hilton appointed him. In 1822 he was first appointed. The defendant gave the writings produced.— (A deed was here produced, s i g ned Joseph Hilton. ALA minister, containing the rules and regulations of St. Stephen's Chapel, im posing fines for the absence or improper conduct of the singers). Jones entered in Advent,iB22. He was a bass singer. He con tinued up to the end of May, 1823. Ile recollects Jones leaving the service, on account of another singer being employed. Ile was not apprised of it before be came. In May, Ite3,lle went to the defendant's house to claim his wages; he saw the defendant, who said it was not convenient to pay hint then, but if he would call the next day, he should be paid. Witness and plaintiff' west the next day about twelve o'clock. No person came to pay them.' They waited about half an hour. Remembers a subscription being made fur the singers. Witness had none of it. Jones should have received Si. independent of the subscription. It was half a year's salary. Extra was allowed for winter. Cross-examined by Mr. POLLOCK —lle was engaged by Alr. Attfield. lie was a singer there ever since the 25th of 31ay, 1820. Mr. Attfield died about twelve months before Mr. Hilton came. He came the latter end of April, 1822. He has been paid by Mr. Locket. Mr. Hilton is the ofliciatingrninister. Mr. Locket has paid him three times. Ile made out no account against the trustees of the chapel. Don't know who pays the repines of the chapel. The paper shown to him is not hit hand-writing. Mr. POLLOCIL—It is the wrong paper. Witness—The paper shown to hint is his hand.writing. Mr. Hilton paid him in the clerk's house. Ile has applied to him. lie told witness the half-year was not up. The agreement was not is writing. The clerk engaged him. The rules and regulations were given him on the 2d of February, 1823. Examined by the ATTORNEY-liENE••L—Made the applica tion at the defendant's own house. Defendant acid there was no money due to him. He siiktte Would meet witness at the clerk's house at twelve o'clock the 'felt day, and pay him, which he did. It was about a week after lie said that he would pay witness accord; ing to the agreement made with the clerk, but that he would see the clerk first. In 1823 witness was told to apply to Locket for payment. Locket is Mr. Hilton's nephew. Elizabeth Orme examined—She was engaged as a singer in St. Stephen's Church in September 1822, about a month before Mr. Hilton came. 111 r. Hilton objected to paying the singers, as he had rot engaged them. She went to him and told him that Mr. Otero had left on account of his salary, and that all the singers were doing the game. He said, if he gave such a salary as a year it would take away all he got by the seat-rents. Witness told him she wished to know to whom she was to look for her salary, lie said, that if she was disposed to remain on the same terms as before, which was 71. per year, she might remain. Wit ness said, " You are going to have evening service." He said, " Yes; and for which I will give you an extra pound." He told her to tell George Ouse, that if he would not return he would send him to the house of correction and to tell the others so. "Hut atop," said he, "lest you should forget, I will write it;" and he wrote it, and gave witness the paper. On the 2d of 31arch 1823, she applied for her wages; she asked him to pay her for the time she had been there, and allow her what he thought proper for the Sundays. Ile pulled out two sovereigns, and after a deal of bother, said, that was more than was due to her. She said, it was not more than was due, independent of the subscription. She then gave him the paper and said that she would not take it. He took up the two sovereigns and put them in his pocket, and said, " Get them as you can ; and walk out, for I will not be talked to." She received no money. He said, she should stay her time out, which was until the 23th of the snianth. Mr. Hilton kept the paper. Witness applied several times, and at length got it within 4s. She left the paper in defendant's hands on the 17th Feb. 1825. Notice to produce agreement put in and read. The agreement was this:—He gave each singer dl. per annum, and to those who attended the evening service he gave an extra pound, independent or which he gave a subscription, which after deducting Ws. for the leader of the band, was to be equally di vided among the rest. He signed his name to it. Witness communicated this to the other singers. About a week or two afterwards the plaintiff was engaged. The plaintiff at tended and did "his duty at evening and morning service, and he never got any of the subscription. Crass-examined by Mr. Pot.t.ocx—She sang six months after Mr. Hilton came. Mr. Poxxocx said he could not resist the action ; but defendant was not the proprietor of the Chapel, and had no interest but as olliciat ing tut n ister. Jt: DO E—He is liable after the contract. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 31. ; costs 40s. Mr. V E NAB L ES—lle has got the subscription in his pocket—(A laugh.) Mr. Poxxocx—My Lord, I consider that as a most unneces sary and wanton libel. LIMERICK ASSIZES, MARCH 9. HORRIBLE MURDER. Patrick Cusark, Eleanor Ryan, Edmond Rail, and Patrick Lennanc were given in charge ler the murder of John Ryan, the husband of the female prisoner, at Ballyvorneen, on the 12th of October. Ina—Patrick Cusack, for having given deceased one mortal blow of a hatchet, of which he instantly died ; and that the other prisoners ware aiding and assisting; and, on a second indict ment, that Patrick Cusack did strangle the said John Ryan with a rope, and that the others were aiding and assisting. Ooot.n addressed the Jury. The deceased,- John Ryan, was a comfortable farmer. holding a considerable quantity of land. There were four persons they might perceive charged with this murder, the scene of which had taken place in the house of the un. fortunate man. A map of this house had been made with a view to this trial. I-fe would briefly call the attention of the Jury to a few circumstances which would tend materially to elucidate the case. The house consisted of a kitchen and rooms on the right and left of it ; in the room on the right of the kitchen was the bed of the de ceased ; it was a long room, and near the bed was the partition se parating it (rota the - kitchen ; near the dour and at die same side WIN a fire-place. Such is the scene where this dreadful and bar. barous murder appears to have taken place. Monday, the Ilth *of October, was the fair-day of Bally brood, to which fair the deceased went to transact business ; that day was stormy, and, from the in. temperance of the weather, the deceased was unable to return home that night ; the prisoners, Cusack and Ellen, were that day together in the house of the deceased ; the Tuesday following was the day on which this homicide was stated to have been committed, and they would perceive that the mode by which death was caused was laid in the indictment in two different ways,—in one by stran gulation, and in another hy a blow indicted by a hatchet. The de ceased returned home on Tuesday. At that time they had a young female child just recovering from the small-pox, who slept with her father and mother. She was a small creature, and of very tender years, but if her evidence should be required for the furtherance of the ends of justice, the would be produced that day on the tabie. It would be distinctly proved to them that there was a lire-place near the entrance of the bed-room ; it would be proved that the fire that night in that room was of so tremendous a nature as to attract even the notice of strangers who pawed along the road, and extended over more than half the floor ; it would be proved that a hatchet, which used to be under the bed of the deceased, was seen in the pri. caner Cusack's postsesaion, who made use of it to sharpen a spade_ tree the day of the murder. It might not be then improper to state, that that identical hatchet had, some short time since, been discovered near the house of the deceased, and that it was marked with the stains of his blood. The unfortunate deceased, on the eight of this transaction, went to bed intoxicated, they having taken pains to ply him with liquor, as he had been made, as he (the Learned Sergeant) was instructed to state, to drink four or five tea-cups of whiskey; it would be proved, that while overcome by intoxication and retired to his bed, Cusack fixed a rope round his neck, and instantly strangled him, and that they then brought his body to the fire-place to burn him, intending thereby to conceal all means of discovery, which, having been unable to effect, they used him in a way which he solemnly declared to God he was unable to express. They next procured a sheet which they used to lift the body and take it away. It would be proved that the other prisoners, Hall and Leonine. assisted in the deportation of the body, which they concealed. After long and tedious search, the body was at length found in a bog-hole, and with great difficulty removed. It would be satisfactorily demonstrated by a respectable surgeon, that when the body was found, it was in such a state that the deceased could not have destroyed himself, and that the con. dition in which he was discovered was produced by the barbarous usage he received. It would appear from the evidence to be pro. duced before them, that the brother of the deceased came to Ryan's house the morning after the murder, and on his approach to the house met Cusack to company with two persons, Waters and Sheehan, she latter of whom was eintack's brother-in-law; the dialogue which took place between them he need not repeat, as it would appear from the evidence. Anionic the witnesses he had brought betore them would be an infant, about seven or eight years old—it would be for the Court to determine how far tsbe was competent to be extuntned on the trial l'herc was abo another witness, Lamed Mary Cramer, • servant of the deceased, who came forward under rather suspicious circumstances, because on her showing, it appeared that the barbarous transaction had come to her knowledge, and that she bad concealed that -knowledge, and did not communicate it as she should hove done instantly to a Nlaiitstrate. l'hir present woo lOM lit einealnetnnee, and if they could not di. !se with the testimony of the child, they should not _ln` • • • oy that circumstance from doing public Justice. — Witnesses acre examined, who proved the holding of the body, and other eircumstar.ces mentioned in the preceding speech. The brother of the deceased called in on the night of the murder, and saw tate female prisoner, who was then sitting with Leonine, near a large fire, and stated her husband to have gone out to drink. She pretended to expect and look nut for him. The most remarkable tes timony was the following : Mary Cramer, a well-looking woman, about thirty years of age, examined by Mr. LLOYD—Knew deceased, whose servant she was ; recollects the fair day of Hallybrood, and his returning from it the day after, pretty early in the looming ; it was on a Tuesday. Saw him alter his return, and brought him his supper into the par. lour. M'imeas slept in the other end of the house. below the kitchen, which was betweea his room and hers : witness went to bed, and through her sleep heard some noise, but she could not tell whereabouts it was ; she awoke soon after and thought the noise was as if she had clapped her hands together, but did not know what it was, or where it was ; she fell asleep again in a minute; •k_ shortly after awake , and heard Mrs. Ryan and Cusack talking in the parlour ; she did not see them at this time, but is sure it was their voices she heart ; Mrs. Ryan said, " If Mary Cramer knows this, she would tell it about the road to-morrow ;" Clime cursed, and then said, •• not to leave it in her power to tell it;" Mrs. Ryan said, " there was enrugh done now ;" she fell asleep again, and heard no more until Mrs. Ryan called her from the parlour door, and asked if there was any water within ; witness got up, and went to the kitchen, where there was a small tub under a taL-le, in which, she got the water, put it into the can, and was going.into the par. , lows with it, when Mrs. Ryan met her at the door, which was partly open, anti witness saw Cusack there standing with' his face towards the bed. Mrs. Ryan took the water from her, and was then standing near the corpse of John Ryan, which was lying on the floor of the parlour ; saw it by the light of the lire ; witness then returned to hed, covered her head, and thought she should be killed herself; Mrs. Ryan came to the kitchen again, and desired witness to bring a sheet, which she did, and Mrs . R. took it out of her hand. She now saw Hal come out of a hole in a cellar, which was in the parlour; they thee took anti bundled up the body in a sheet. As she was standing at the parlour door she saw a glimpse of her master's face, which appeared as if burned. Saw Cusack, Hall, and Mrs. Ryan thee* at the time, and no one else. They wrapped the tour corners or the sheet round the body, and then placed it in a middle-aized white box near the parlour door. Ler.nane came in at this time, and Cusack asked them all to help to lift the corpse off the box. Less.. l name put his hands to it, and witness stretched out hers for the same) purpose. They all saw witness at the time. Witness *gain re.' turned to bed, and was shortly after called up by Mrs. Ryan, who desired her to come into the parlour, and told her it was Jack` Ryan who hail lighted the tire before she went out, and desired her to go and see if he was in the kitchen. She went out for that par pose with a lighted candle, and returned, when Mrs. Ryan desired her, if any one asked her about the matter, to say that she had been sent by Mrs. Ryan to see if her husband was in the kitchen. Mrs. Ryan was getting up at the time, and desired her to call the boy. TINI lire was very large, and extended front the fire-place over the greater part of the floor, and it was far in the day when it was burned out. She did net see what happened to the body after it was taken of the white box by Cusack, hall, and Lennane. Mr. R. was standing on the floor. She now identified all the prisoners, and when she laid the crier's wand on the head of Lennane, ISO called aloud •• get along you d—d perjurer, you scoundrel, to be taking away the men's lives." Slaty Ryan, the daughter of the female prisoner, and of the mur. dared, man, was here brought into the court under theprotection of Mr. Yokes. She appeared betwt:o eight and nine years of age, and was a fine sensible-looking child, and when she first came into Court looked round with much curiosity. She tam nicely dressed, and on the whore appeared a very interesting child. While she remained on the table under examination, her mother, on whom her production evidently had a most strong effect, continued sitting down, and covered her lice with a handkerchief to conceal her emotion. His Lordship, before he would allow her to be sworn, questioned her very minutely as follows, as to her knowledge of the nature of an oath, and her perception of good and evil : COURT—What is your name ?—Mary Ryan, Sir. Do you know how old you are ?-11 do not, Sir. Did you ever hear from your father or mother how old you are ?-1 did not. Have you a brother ?—Yes. What's his name ?—Johnny. Is he older or younger than you ?—He is older, Sir. Have you a sister ? Yee. Where did you live until you came here P—Atltallyvour. peen. flow old is Johnny ?—I don't know, Sir. How old is your sister ?—lndeed, I don't know. Do you ever say your prayers ?—t'es ; Dr. Hogan taught me to say them. Whom do you pray to always pray to God. What becomes of paityile who do evil ?—They will go to Hell, and be burned. 1)0 pea know where good people will go . —Yes. W here ?—To ttleaven. Who live in Heaven ?—God and his Angels. Where would you go if you told the truth ?—To Heaven.. If you told Yea, and what was false, where would you go ?—To Hell. His Lordship permitted her to be sworn, and she repeated the termination of the words, " and nothing but the truth, •' as the (dark of the Crown was tendering the oath to her. " Recollect now, Mary," said Judge Toners, " that you have taken an oath before (iced Almighty, who is looking down upon us all, and will punish sad send you to Hell if you say what Is not true." • She was then examined by Mr. Sergeant GouLD—Remernhers Me day her father came from the fair at Bally brood ; there was a kitchen and parlour in the house ; she slept in the room next the Iliethan, which every person in the house used to call the parlour; Mere was a bed in that room ; knows Cusack and Hall ; was sick Then, and her mother kept her up ; when her father came front the Air she was in bed, and when he came home in the evening he gave her mother two apples, and gave herself two more ; the last night entirely that she saw her father she saw Cusack and her mother 'shag with hint Cusack often came into the house, and Cusack's mother used to follow him, and he always hid himself in a cellar; ht father is dead, and she saw something done to him ; they were drinking whiskey which Nelly Flinn had brought in a bottle from Limerick, and which she left there in the day time ; there was a groat fire in the parlour ; when they were drinking the whiskey Gesack threw a tea-cup of whiskey in her father's face, and her father cursed him ; Cusack came by night with a hatchet, and alter her father went to best he came with a halter and squeezed k round her father's neck ; it was her mother bid hint ; they dragged her father out of the bed on the floor, and cut his legs and arms (pointing at the time to both) y she cried, and Cusack swore he'd kill her if the disturbed the people with crying ; she cried for seeing her father choking ; her mother desired Cusack, for God Almighty's sake, not to kill her ; after that they cut his arm and leg • they threw him on the tire, and left him there until they heard a car coming ; they took it up and threw water on it to cool the body ; her mother took hits' by the head, and Cusack took him by the legs and put him into a sheet, and then laid him on a box ; indeed, indeed, she saw all this ; her father did not speak but grunted when the rope was round his neck; often saw Cusack before ; saw Hall watching abroad at the door, and he laid the latch down very easy and was peeping into the room, but was not inside entirely ; when her father's brother carne he asked why did not her mother send one of the servant boys to look for her father ; the body wax laid on the white little box when Ilall was peeping in ; she told this first when her father was found in a little boghole; there was water thrown on the body, and it was brought in by Moll Cramer. A witness was examined on behalf of the female prisoner, who, however, proved nothing in her favour. The Jr DOE then summed up with great care and perspicuity. The Jury returned the following verdict:—Eleanor Ryan, Cuilt.; Edmund Guilty; Patrick Cusack, Guilty; and Patrick Lennanc, Not Guilty. The prisoners, Ryan, Cusack, and Hall, were then set forward, and bennane was ordered to be put back. When the usual questions were put to the convicted persons, if they had any thing to say why sentence of death and execution should not be passed on them, the prisoner Hall said that he was asleep at the time of the transaction ; that he was as innocent of it as he was on the day he was born, and that he had a heavy charge to leave behind him. Cusack said he had nothing to do with it, and was, thank God ! as innocent as any one in Court. Mrs. Ryan. who appeared during the entire trial to be undergoing great mental affliction, was unable to speak, but sunk exhausted on the seat behind her. His LOIDSH/P, before pronouncing sentence on the prisoners, addressed them in 3 most feeling and forcible manner. Airs. Ryan fainted on the pronouncing of the sentence, and was immediately attended by Surgeon Franklin, jun. but she was obliged to be removed in a chair from the Court to the prison, where she continued in the same senseless state until about ten o'clock that night, when she came to herself, and became com posed. The trial terminated about seven o'clock, and the gloom of the Court, over which the candles threw " a dim religious light," added to the melancholy solemnity of the awful scene. Mns Ryan appeared to be about twenty-eight years old, and, from her dress, seemed a person in comfortable circumstances; her face bore evident marks of extreme anxiety and depression of mind, which made her look considerably older. She perspired copiously during the trial, and frequently wiped her face with a handker chief. There was something like resignation to the fate which, she must have been rontdent awaited her, in her whole demeanour. Cusack is almost forty years old, was dressed in a large flint coat ; there was a settled melancholy in his face, which was of a very dark and fiendish hue. He appeared quite unmoved during the trial, and when die ♦erdict was announced a sort of sneer of contempt quivered on his lips. Hall seemed most affected of all the prisoners, and during the trial was fr:quently in tears. • • - - - The crowded state of the Court during the entire of the trial— the almost breathless silence that ptrvaited sithin hearing of the evidence—the vast multitude that filled the hall, and every avenue leading to the Court-house—the eagerness with which the pro gress of the trial was transmitted in all directions, and the cosnt less hundreds who waited to catch a glimpse of the prisooers on their return to gaol, at every street that cuminandeci a view of the proussion, evinced, in the most palpable manner, the intense anxiety felt by ail to whom this atrocious murder has been coin. inuoicated. NVe hope that the providence of God, tli4played in the development of this deed of horror, will not be without its moral effect oo our people. - - The public., and the interests of humanity in general, are much indebted to Dlr. Vokes, who assiduously examined into the whole transaction, collected and compared the entire evi. denre ; and to AIL Balmer, chief constable of the Barony, whose exertions to establish an unbroken chain of evidenc e , which ter minated in the punishment of the guilty, ere deserving of our warmest praiso.—Lioserirk %tenor. ROSCOMMO.V 4SSIZES. On Tuesday, the Bch instant, an alarming fire broke out in the town of Roscommon, in the middle of the night, by which two houses were consumed, and much more extensive damage would have beta done but for the great exertions of the police, humanely seconded by some gentlemen of the Bar. (In Wednesday, a trial came before Baron Smith, which excited • very general interest. It was a charge of murder against Bybe.r Browne, Pt:hick O'Neill, William Larkry, William Galvin, and Thomas Cook: snd during the seven lours that the trial last, the Court was crowded extremely. The prisoners were the 1 watchmen of Athlone. Browne was the commander of the pprty. The person killed was John Connor, a person of very good cha -1 racier. The Baron's summing up was as concise as the mass of evidence which he had to recapitulate would allow. The Jury, which was a most respectable one. found O'Neill guilty of the murder, and the other four of manslaughter, expremin; their opi nion that it was an aggravated case. O'Neill was immediately called up for judgment, and received sentence of death. The Baron Olen announced to the other four that the rule which he made was, that they should be transported for their live,. Rose Barrett was indicted for the murder of her sister. The case was a suspicious one, but ended in an acquittal. There were other trials for murder, but they ended in acquittals or convictions fur manslaughter. POLICE. GUILDHALL CAME OF DIST/TESL — John Layton, a decent looking young man, was charged with stealing a basket, containing about a dozer- Pounds of haslet, out of the tail of a cart, mantling in the Georg Inn-yard, early on Widneaday morning. Upon being seized, lie wept bitterly, and declared that he was a shoe-maker, but wag almost starving from not having the means of purchasing materiaLa to complete a little job or two he had by him. Ford, an active constable of St. Andrew's, Holborn, wbo had been called in. immediately set off to the prisoner's lodging, N 0.14, Tash.street. Gray's Inn-lane, to ascertain the truth of his state ment, and found it to be correct. Two or three pair of women's old shoes were lying en a stool, bus none of the necessary articles to put them in repair. The prisoner's wife was standing with a fine infant beside an empty gre.grate, and there was neither chair nor bed in the room, and Ford was upon inquiry so convinced of the most deplorable state of destitution this pour family were suffering under, that he could not leave the place without furnishing out of his own pocket to the unfortunate woman the means to obtain some lire and food. Under these circumstances the prosecutor expressed his unwil lingness to proceed, and the filagistrate discharged the prisoner, with an admonition never to place himself in such a situation again, hut apply, if he were distressed, to the officers of the pariah in which he scalded for relief.

That of a young girl of Nedebach, in West phalia, may be counted still more astonishing, it having lasted 45l days. As this malady scems to be more frequent I than formerly, I look upon it as an imperative duty to re cal to mind the effects of galvanism, which is certainly in such a case the most efficacious remedy, of which I had positive proof in a case in which I was concerned twenty years ago at Berlin. A young girl, twenty years of age, had already passed six weeks in a sleep like death. It was with the greatest diffi c ulty that she wu made to swallow some thin gruel. Tier pulse could hardly be felt. All manner of [external irritation had been applied in vain ; at last I had recourse to galvanism —at first it had little effect, but one of the conductors having been placed on the pit of the stomach and the other in the left ear, in about two minutes her face, which till then had been pale, coloured—her eyes opened, the young girl sat upright, and pronounced the word " father." She has since perfectly recovered her activity and the lethargy has not again returned.--.lourna/ des Debuts.
