CA X 4JV, Dnc, Q. may. i , .°' This d3y the Special, Commi c ssioa fur the Trial of. " The Thresliers" vt")s opened here by Chief Justice DowNr....s an 1 Baron GEORGE ;-. - when tlu Grand Jury were . sworn in. - _• . _ • -The Chief . Justice, in addressing the Grand Jury, explained the .nature and objea of the present Commission; that it imposed: the same duty - on . them as that which they had to discharge at the ordinary Assizes; that peculiar circumstances - had called for their attendance at this inclement and un usnal-seaion of the prat. But, though the ,public peace was much disturbed in some other,.counties, that ft om the aaivity of the Magistratea in suppress - Mg these disturbances, 'and the chara6ter and,np,- pearance of the prisoners, they had as yet made: but. small progress in this. He them mentioned, that; the law had made the strongest possible;:provi'sions against the offences which . the present Comatisakqo sought - to enquire into.. Tlist-progress of this . cpm mission had already shewn .the snflitiency Law to put down these disturbances; for ,tkat, wherever the Magistrate's had exe"reised their autho rity, these conspirators had hod befpre them. ...There. had not been an instance where their eflbrts.had not been effedual. This confederaey-, his Lordship said, subsisted only amongst Clue lowest of the peoplei who had. forsaken their industry for those ,tumultu... ary asseinblies ; not a single man of ilistindion bad - appeared amongst them. Their avowed °Ned- was the deStrudion of the Tithes -of the. Establialted Church ; and to take from the Roman :Catholic `Clergy the dues which they are accustomed to re ceive for spiritual advioe. That' this confederacy'', was levelled •at the , eftistence of ..religion, and all order and public tranquillity,to be changed,for atiar chy and confusion, did not admit of a doubt,' They. assembled in cumbers; and disturbed the.iripeaceable-* neighbours, assuming aliame, whichadded, to. their badges, was calculated to strike terror. They :de etroyeci the property of, and. inflicted cruel toefures on; those who ‘were tit, to join them.; audit" one instance had-Consummated their Wickedness by murder ; they administered unlawful oaths -subver sive of every moral duty. Those evils, however great, were within the reach of the law ; there are' Ads still in force which give power to MagiStrates far suppressing tumultuous risings and assemblages ; mad those assemblages, in taking namea., and wear ing badges, are high and punishable offences, even though they do •nothiag more-4rocuring. them horses, arms, or ammunition, &c. and. joining them even by threats, is illegal ; and administering un lawful oaths, and submitting to those assemblages, isiamishable with death : even though a persowbe eanipelled, he is not free from the - punishment of the law, unless he give information to the next Ma gistrate, immediately after, and give such evidence, us shall demonstrate the fa& of his compulsion.— Malstrates are empowered to call on all subjetls, and also the-military, to oppose such unlawful afts, and are indemnified if they kill. The law also au thorises them to summon before them those whom they have reasonable ground to suspect; and if-they ofuse to answer upon oath, they have aright to com mit them to prison by the White Boy Ads. - As to the particular' office of Grand Jurors, the Chief Jus tice said he had not any particular objea to .point their attention to; but though he bad the highest opinicin of their aaivity,-he called upon them to eicise their duty as .Magistrates with energy, and no . doubt but their pains waul2. be rewarded by the tran quillity of the country. . , Prcincii Donohoe indiaed-,,for that he, on the Bth of November, 1 . .806, :Mucklough, in the county of Cavan, did MotTiOnSly; vilrully, and contemptu ously., administer - an - oath to one Gorg9'.l.liontai-:-- "-that he, the - said: G. Thames, woolOicis-olte his - tithe from a proaor 5 nor discover, : ,tipi: P - iVe ;evir denee of a ce:tain associatinn.or brotherliOa_ called or of a Brother Thresher. ". Pliiadeci Vol Guiltg.' • • - • • • • - The A.TTO - RN EY-GENERAL then addressed the. Court and .the - Jury in an energetic speech, and said, he did not feel it his duty very much at length, to state the grounds on which the Pr-isoner was ar-' raigoed ; if this Commission hart, tor- the first time, , been opened to suppress these tumulttious meet ings„ he Would feel it necessary to go into them much sore atlarge. He said much was necessary fbi' the purpose of giving confidence:. to the.clishearteu ed ; much, to givevroteaion to-thelcyal,part of the • community ; mticli;,to confirm the croratil, and give energy:to bring hotne punish: ent - to theg , ,,silty. - He had the satisfaction to say,. the-laws .had - asserted their own dignity ; and the enliglitited and dig- , persons who presided, had made - the laws lvell understood in every - part of the country they , came through. Jtutes need not go into a partial - far detail in all parts.:a the country; the people were• aVrare of the sufficiency of the laws and their., ri g our. Lamentable . as •it is, he wished it to be beard by every one, tb-at in the progress of the.Coni• ia - iission fifteen persons . ' have answered With their lives for their crimes-; and nine were doomed to ex - • ile .from their native land, never more to visit that country they have disgraced by their-wicked exam ple. He then mentioned the sufficiency of the laWs to protect the innocent and punish the wicked 5. that they had been able to= assert themselves; and 410- thing had been done - but under their sanction-- -that persons have been taught that- the natural progress', of associations of this kind is, that thougb.they.corn silence in the morning in an innocent.enterrise, the sun Sets upon them covered with guilt, bloodshed, and Murder. Ii said, that the Prisoner stood inditled for being of an association called " Threshers," and this was a capital crime. That the oath was contrary to the laws of God and Map—violating all those ties that bind society together—and • tat .nia refleaing being could feel his conscience bound by such an oath. fie said, it Was astonishing that an infamous profanation of this kind should bind 'any man to rolloW the behests of an unknown leader. If a man is called upbn by the laWs Of the land for an oath, it is to depose as to what has been, not - what is to be done. If not by the law,- it' is to bind him to some well ascertained duty. Bat here, to give up bis conscience to an unknown leader; and that an oath administered by na anonythotis ruffian is to bind, birn, is a position so inonstrouSitii strange it could have found its way amongst the most ignorant" in stciety. He hoped that*.no man would make .a .. . - . promise with hi.s conscience; bat hotvever pai'nful it might .be, he woyld . bring down the tteugean( . -e, of the latiftipOn'a niau of such description as Was then before theth. The Arronszev-GENetkt. then said, how 'happy the Govrninctit would feel, it' no tneasres of a strongei ithiure Would ' be found Pece'saary ;, ;Mil coueluded by addingt hat' he wished it to be YnoWn, genet:Ally; that whilst .in individual date . come for; ward under these unlawful leaders, the ,arm of the law was still stisperided.oVer them: '• '' ' . • Proseez<tor, G,:orge Thbmas,' ciamined t:y ' the ' SOLICIrOII-GENERAL. . 4 • Wittiesfilives near Ballyeonnel ; holdS some land; recol «, ..the Bth - of.

On Saturday last we had a hard gale of wind frOm the S.W. accompanied with heavy rain, which .con tinned during the greater part of the day. The.

Inits progress, a large raft of High land wood was swept away from the upper part of the' LarbOur, and 'coming against-a tier of vessels, broke them from their moorings. One of -them, a Prussian galliot, after going- down the harbour with the raft, .Carried. off a tier of vessels, which in its turn broke another tier 'adrift, and both were driven on a shoal below;' being , only , w , evented.frOm going to sea by W2i2t of Water.
