SO as still to keep between atetn, by beating to mit side and the other of his horse ; Mr. Ryan, however, after two or three at -tempts of this knit!, had an opportunity of seeing the man, whom he is autiafied to he the Poisoner ■t the bar; Butler haying passed the bush about one pace or yard, immediately swore out " Ily God 1 hive you end at the same iostaut throwing open • loose cost, presented • gun which he had under it at Mr. Ryall, sod fired it ; he brut himself for ward on utic knee, and minding the gun straight out before him with both hands, but did not ap ply it to his shoulder, nor take rim in the usual manner ; at the instant of presenting and firing he uttered • ►hout or rather aerrain, which seemed to hare been tittered as if tinder an impression of alarm at !Mitte' (Bullet). lie presented the gun at the body of Mr. 14E11, and they were then at the distance of about fifteen yards asunder; after firing, the Prisoner retreated in an oblique direc tion, appearing to be charging the gun as lie pro ceeded. The witness gillopperl off on the by road until lie came to its junction with the high road, thinking to head the l'nsere►; and eppri. bend him. Cunniegham had by this time come out of Butler's house, and Hyatt called to him to come on, which lie did, and the Prisoner ran from him back to a ditch, on which the witness turned, and gallopped back, when he saw the Prisoner, accompanied by another man, reloading the gun ; one of them was raminirig down the cartridge; and the Prisoner said in Irish words tantamount to "he is coming." One of the two men (but in his confusiou he could nut ascertain which) rushed for ward towards Mr. Hyatt, who giallopped off toward■ the high road. As Cunnings•nut was coming on, nearly by the place where Mr. Ryan had been fired at, one of the two men called to hint to stop, and presented the gull ut hint two or three times. !11 r, nyall, being again questioned, persisted un hesitatingly in iticiitifyitis the person who had fired at him.

To some questions limn the Court, he said, that the person whom he bad formerly employed refus ing to serve the tithe processes at this time, lie was obliged to make use of Cunningham, who had been one of the valuators, but who lived at a distance of several miles from the place ; and the witness was obliged to go with him. in order to ,hew him the houses of the persons to be served; 11'nllirm Boiler, in whose house the Prisoner was taken, had threat ened so be revenged an the witness ; on recognizing the • Prisoner, Mr. Byrd desired one of the dra goons to lake great care of him, as lie was a rely active fellow,. John Cunningham swore that he was employed by Mr. Ryan on the OCCa %ion above soured ; that I.e went with him on the 18th of Mardi to Mac reary, to serve processes, and d one at the house of Wm. Butler : on coming out he saw the smoke, ■nd Kurd the noise of a shot, and saw two men go ing from the place; at that moment he did not see Mr. 14811, the ditch üb.tructiug him, but imme diately after he saw.

Mr. Ryall was then called up, and being con• fronted with the woman. p.vatively contradicted that part of her testimony in which she swore to his raying that Prisoner was riot the man who fired at him. Thomas Lawlor, a tailor, swore that on the 18th be was at work in a room at Wilburn Butler's where Tom Butler was at the time when the shot was fired. Lawlor •11s sitting opposite a window which looked nut into the lisgsard, and imme diately on hearing the shot hr looted nut sod saw Tom Butler up on the out stack. He saw Mr. 14011 at Butler's after. Tom Butler was arrested, and heard Mr. Rya!l say that ihe Prisoner was very like the man that fired at him; hut was not the men, and that hr looked like a rogue.

He sampled that Lawlor was theme. Bridget Butler, the Prisoner'i sister, swore that she was at ‘Villiain Butler's on the day of the iirre.t of the Prisoner, and was present when Mr. R}sill came and culled Toni Butler on the &vie, saying, You are not the nun that shot me, but you have the look of u rogue ;" that Mr. Ryan searched the house and came back, saying to the Prisoner, " You are the man that shot me."

We understand that Sir RONALD CRAWFURD Fence:ion, K.C.B. has resigned his commi.sion as Deputy Lieutenant of the County of Fife.... (Cwpar Herald.) At Leicester Assign. last week, five prisoners received sentence of death. At Aisi Prins only five causes were entered. four of which were le fended. A inoliK the prisoners capitally convicted were IVilliant Barnett, 28, for poisoning his wife at Ullesthorpe; and Irillitras Curren, aged 25, and Juhn Curren. aged 22 {brothers), for in- Hiding a mortal wound upon the person of Thomas Raven, of Burrow-upon-Soar, of which he di e' ', They were executed in front of the county Bride well at Leicester, on Moud•y morning. Mr. Justice Beer, in his charge to the Grand Jury at the Assizes for Nottingham, adverted to the subject of the employment of prisoners, and strongly recommended that hard labour should be introduced into the excellent House of Correction for that county. Every prisoner M the gaol, lienh served. whether tried or ton, if he applies for relief from the county, should he obliged to work. The 19 and 20 of Geo. 11. and the 31st of Geo. 111. fully bore this out. Any prisoner who smuts sup port. may be refused desistance if he will not work : none are to be supported in a prison in a sta►e of idlene►e, but those who, from infirmity or sickness, were incapable of labour. Ile was awe that the Magistrates would feel, that if finding the means of labour would be some expense, yet it should be done. for where there was no labour, instead of gaols being useful fur the correction of morels, they only tended to engender crime. Mil FORFEITED RECOGNIZANCES. REPORT ■llO3l THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON RECOGNIZANCES. [Ordered, by lite House of Commons, to be printed, 4914% Marek, 1812 j The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the coarse pursued in the levying all Forfeitures of Reroecittaisem entered into hefare Justices of the Peace sod Coroners, end to report their Qbser►atimn thereupon to the House, have, pursuant is the orders of theiloune, considered ibe matters to theta referred, sod hare agreed to the following Report : It appears to soar Committee, by the Art of the 22d and 231 Car. 11, r. 22, that no forfeited rerogn.reaces, bumps, or amereisments, sum and soma of money, or other forfeiture whatsoever, taking place after the Monday follow. isg the Morrow of All souls, can be returued into the Exche quer until the same day in the subsequent teary whereby as average delay of Rix months Is oceasioued, supposing a strict compliance with the letter of the law. • Your Committee think it necessary aten to state, that they have examined many persona, abuse different employment. and occupations have afforded theta the means of judging of the efficiency of the process, as it is at present executed. Mr. Grirowood, the deputy to the Lord Tr►asurer's Re membrancer in the Court of Exchequer, stales, that a very great delay takes place iu passing the forfeitures transmitted by the clerks of the prone from their respective Quarter Sessions. through the different offices in the Exchequer, CI. trading to a permit in 11.1 cue ten thin two year's; and that from the date of the forfeiture to the deg when the Sheriff is prepared to execute the process, a peelers' of between three and four yawn usually intervenes —Mr. F , the deputy clerk of the ',treats, agrees with the preceding wit ors in opinion as to the delay; and be further Antes, Met the number of 'streets in England (exclusive of the emus tire palatine), is the year ending March, 1829, emanated to 1,707 in number, and in value to 41,2651.; of which a very small portion was recovered by the Crowe. The value of the estreats returned for the year ending Michaelmas, 1616, amounted to the sum of 34,165/. and the amount recovered to 1391. only; inis was exclusive of forfeitures claimed by different liberties. Mr. Mullet, Clerk of the Niehils, and al.o a clerk in the P;pe.uffice, ngrees with the preceding witneanes Sato the de lay in passing the entreated recognizance* throttle, the Court of Exchequer ; sod further states, that if the comae of these recognisance,' were turned into a different channel, the Ex cheyierauuld be relieved from much trouble. Mr. Harper, the Receiver of the Poet Flee and lames of the Green Wax in the Exchequer, as far as the same re. late to the Duchy of Lancaster, states, that in the year IWO the processes Sent out to the Sheriffs to levy in other coun ties (exclusive of the county of Lancaster) were foe the sum of 4,357/. is. which sum included the arrears of farmer years; that the amount le•ied by the Sheriffs was 32/. 6.1. and that the return of mussy levied in the county of Lan caster was equally disproportionate. It appear. to your Committee, as well by the evidence of the officers of the Court of Exchequer, as by list of several Police Magistrates, hastier*, and Clerks of the Peace, who have bass examined, that the preeent mode of proceeding with respect to forfeited recogiliminces, occasions by it. dila. tery forms a gresi impediment ill the administration aims ' tice, a, well as a considerable loss to the r evolve. Mr. Wait* the inspector of the 6nc• sad forfeitures be lough,' to tie Crown, and receiver of the-crown rests for Wales, states, That the forfeiture, is that past of the king dom, 68111 at the Assuan sad Quarter &Salim, are levied in a much more summary and effi ctn.l manner than in Eng land. The Clerk of the Ps ace fur a Welsh comity issues, immediately after every gorier &•mime, the roll of the saatreats with his writ to the Sheriff, requiring him to Ivy the forfeitures instanter, and to pay over the fines re. curved to the Receiver of the crows rests at the emitting audit, where the Sheriff's accounts are annually parsed. The writ issued in like manner after such Assizes by the Chamberlain or PPolbunotary of the circuity is equally ex peditious and more efficacious', inasmuch as is the ease of se goods being found the Sheriff I. required to take the de lioquent into custody, and to bring Lim before the auditor at the sect andit. Your Committee dank it proper, in proof of the slope. riorily of this process, to contrast it with the comparative amount of forfeitures incurred and !feted is Li/eland, re ferred to in the evidence of Mr. Farrar and Mr Harper. Mr. Wilkins having delivered in the following iiialeownll so OW as regards Wales for the two last years, cushiug in February 1820 sad February 1831._ AMouut of Forfei- Amount ?cried by two' incuired. ice h !with. 1820 ...£llBB 5 1 2162 5 1 1821 .. 494 4 2 ......... 166 19 9 being a rate exceeding 291. in every 1001 of she gross sentient tif the forfeitures incurred; whereas in England (iiut on. eluding the Duchy of Lanmestrr), the gross ■mount levied does not exceed 10s. in the 1001. on forfeitures e.tr.aird. and is the Duchy of Lancaster the amount levied is little more than 16s. in the 1001. It appears to your Committee, by the 'videos*. above re cited, tbat be prrient mode of proceeding fur the recovery of furfeiteres in England, is the cans, of ;peat annual lu•s to the revenue; of the greatest uppeemiou and injustice in most instances to the individuals ou whom they are imposed; the parties being frequently igisurant of hiving incurred pe nalty till the demauel made by the Slictiti souse years after the laical. Your Committee think it y to ob that a re eognisaace is frequently forfeited, from negligence or Igno rance. or other causes, not Gettig on the party the stain of any moral guilt. Even in the ease* of culpable the delay of three or four yes,. which generally iiiteevenea be tween the Imposition and levy of the Gee, (-mood be consi dered bell as an act of cruel oppression; the Ivry of the Slw r•ff 611E114 the par's, frequeutly in altered circumstances, with new connexinu• equally involved in the calamity that unexpectedly falls upon the deliaquewt. Your Committee beg further to observe, that this is not the only objection arising from the dill, in the executive of the law as it at present stands, fur the prortiee ut I..ying persons under the ohligstiem of a recognisance, is a indispensable scat of the law, and aid to magianates in the administration of jostice, as well as a gnat rrisint upon some individuals, whose lawless and viulest habits it is ne cessary to coerce by penal obligations. Your Committee have it in evidence, that Maglotrates in some part* of the kingdom assume to themselves the 'miser of moiling and finally seller ing persons from their reeng. sauces; and they have reason to believe, that • very lax practice geuerally prevaila to r , spert to the mitre:mm*4l of all recognizance.; sad your Committee eutertaiu 110 dosibl but that;if a reform of the present practice was in take pker, a considerable improvement in the revenue won't fuliuw, in asmuch as all thn was recoverable by a more summary pin cers would be levied, and relief given at the muse time. at a trifling expense, to Mae whose ignorance and poverty were the only OfT4OOOll of their failure. Your Committer cannot avoid taking notice of the mode of rebid which the law at present to all such as through poverty and tgoorauce may have hemmed its penal ties. By the 4th Geo. 111. c. 10. the Barons of the Each,. quer have power to discharge poor and ignorant persons, upon the pestilent of nue guinea only; but it is very easy to Imagine that no pour or igninant prison will he able to avail himself of this indulgence witheint the employment of a solicitor or item's, for the purpose of drawing up the pr. titino, the affidavit, mid other expel's's of astrodomee aw 4 jimmies, which generally amount to neatly as much as the obligation of an ordinary reciignizince; and in all other cases where the parties are out entitled so the b. nefit of this Act the expense of the Court of E•cheiiii•r amount, to 7.1 nr St exclusive of other chaegss and expenses tortured in payment of solicitors' bilis.
