OXFORD Cll?CUlT.—Hereford, March 30. The business of the assizes at Shrewsbury terminated there on Saturday afternoon, and the Learned Judges arrived here yesterday evening, w hen they were escorted into the town by Mr. D. B. Peploe, the High Sheriff; and Mr. Baron Platt proceeded to open the conunission for this county. The following is an analysis of the calendar here, from which it will be perceived that the crimes which form the subjects of investigation at the present assizes arc not of a very heinous description: —Shooting with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm, 1 ; rape upon a child under 10 years of age, 1 ; sheep-stealing, 1 ; assault and robbery, 1; bur glary, 1 ; night-poaching, 7 ; stealing a post-letter, 1; con cealing the birth of her child, 1; larceny, 4; receiving stolen property, 2—total, 20. Besides the above, there are 49 prisoners in the gaol, including 46 undergoing various terms of imprisonment, and 3 debtors,—making a total of 69; of which number one can read and write well, 37 im perfectly, and 24 can neither read nor write. Harriet Bowkett, aged 22, was charged with having left her male illegitimate child exposed to the inclemency of the weather, by the side of a certain road, without clothing, with intend to commit murder. Mr. Greaves appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Barrett for the prisoner. The first witness called was John Stallard, who stated— On the evening of the 29th of November last, while passing through a field near Bosbury, along the footpath, I heard a child cry about 200 yards from me, and went up to the place whence the cry proceeded, and found under the hedge a naked new-born child lying upon its side on the bare ground. My wife was with me, and we took it to the Rev. Edward Higgins, who resides about 500 yards f ro m the spot. The field was a ploughed field. The child was about four yards from the path, and about 50 from the turnpike-road. The wind at the time was blowing on the child. Jane Stallard, wife of the last witness, corroborated his evidence in most respects, adding that, on taking the child up, it was very cold and did not move at all. The Rev. E. Higgins directed it to be put into a warm bath, and in about a quarter of an hour it partially recovered, and it was after-• wards sent to the Ledbury Union, when the matron of that establishment gave it to a young woman to take care of. It was fed with arrowroot and bread and milk, but eventually died on the 30th of December. Mary Jones, nurse at the Ledbury workhouse, stated the prisoner nine days • that she was desirous of quitting the workhouse d • but was • after her delivery, which she was not all a ow edto o, converted was confined on the 12th of November last, and for her child, be cause part of her own garmentsb d said that she could not take it out un less the matron .(1- a and at the same time refused to supply it were dress—,, oftheir departure the infant had on quit o nthe29li n , t h o a c v o i v nig r ? ng that day clothes. At _ flannel petticoat, shawl, and nightgown. The permitted to its mother's the period union made no offer of su pp l y in g an y clothes, b ut p ro po s ed ter to the prisoner's m o th er f or some , it being the custom of the union only to furnish clothing to th e children born in the union while they are inmat e s o f th e to send their por ter building. D„ r ifig the whole period that the poor woman was in the workhouse she evinced all due care and tender ness towards her offspring. She was not sent away by the officers, but left of her own free will. With the doctor's perm i ss ion, a woman who has been d e li vere d o f a c hil d can go at any time fro m the workhouse. William Law, master of the workhouse—On the day in question I asked the prisoner if she were going to leave the pon I advised h er t o ta k e h eed as to house. She said, " Yes." I said, " Wh a t are you go i ng to do with your child whereu ?" She replied, " I s h a ll l ay i t at some Willi am Shearon, sup er i nten d ent of police—l appre hended the prisoner at her m o th er ' s h ouse. While going along the road, near the sp o t w h ere t h e child was found, she said, "I left the child t h ere ; I had no clothing to cover it. I was very wet an d t i re d . I sat down on some p w e h r a so t n s ' h s e d w oo a r s lumps of dirt several times w hil e go i ng home. I sat up by the fire all night when I got h ome.

I assisted to dry the child's the child was found. She was very low. The Rev. Edward Higgins deposed as follows :—The pri soner was brought before me and another magistrate. We thought the workhouse the best place to which to send the c h l o o u tl s i e es. child, as they were there accustomed to bring up children by hand, and we deemed it ' le that, as the mother was charged with attempting rder her in . = , is arou e t le t a hr t e n e y - I t she might do so if an opportunity were le her. irp In answer to a question by the Learned Judge, this witness ti p stated that his reason for separatirig the mother from the c h i t of was his opinion that sh e wa s an unfit person to take the infant. Mr. Baron PLATT, in sunetlng up, observed in very strong terms upon what his Lordship termed the "iron rules" of the Ledbury workhouse, whose officers were prohibited from fur nishing any clothing whatever to a helpless naked infant quit , jug their roof , Zs Lordship further AltihadTerted TINA the mockery of the proposal of sending to the prisoner's mother for necessaries, when it must have been known that she was almost in a state of destitution. In conclusion, the Judge fully vindicated the conduct of the worthy magistrates from all reprehension, adding that, under the circumstances, he deemed their proceedings most proper and judicious; but that they would have been highly blameable had they per mitted the child longer to remain with the mother while la bouring under the imputation of a design upon its life. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the exposure, but acquitted her of the intent to murder. The Court, after an impressive address, sentenced her to one month's imprisonment, without hard labour. NOI27'H WALES ClRCUlT. —Chester, March 31. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN.) THE MURDER NEAR BIRKENIIEAD.—This case, which has excited considerable interest throughout this part of the country, has to-day taken a turn which has produced no less surprise. It was a charge against three persons, named Robert Lynch, William IVowland, and Patrittlz Tallant, ft ir the wilful murder of Thomas I'eacop, a respectable young man who formed one of the firm of Golding and Co., corn merchants, Liverpool, and who resided at New Ferry, about three miles from Birkenhead, on the Cheshire shore of the Mersey. The prisoners were committed, chiefly on the testi mony of an accomplice named hliehael Burns, in the month of September last, nine months after the murder was perpe trated, and who was also in gaol on the same charge. On an application being made for the appearance of Burns, to give evidence before the grand jury, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for the Palatine intimated to the Court that he bad read over the depositions, and after carefully considering them, he did not feel it his duty to ac cede to that course, as Burns would be put on his trial. . The JUDGE—I understood you intended to take his evi dence as approver. '['he ATTORNEY-GENEILAL for the Palatine—lie has made a statement, but it is entirely uncorroborated. I thought, in the first instance, that he should be admitted as an approver ; but as there is no corroboration of his testimony, I do not think it would be safe to proceed on his evidence against the other men, as there would be no likelihood of a conviction. I propose, therefore, to put Burns on his trial, on his own statement, for the highway robbery. The Atilt:s—Very well. Of course you will.urvyour mit discretion. _ _ . Just before the Court rose the grand jury made the last presentment of bills. They returned true bills for murder and robbery, with violence, against Michael Burns, the ap prover in the Rock Ferry murder case, and ignored the bill against the other three prisoners charged with the murder of Mr. Peacop. A true bill for murder was returned against Mary Evans, charged with poisoning her child at Bebington. The grand jury were then discharged. An order for the liberation of Lynch, Nowlan, and Tenant was then made by the Court, and they were released from prison. MIDLAND ClRCUlT—Warwick, March 31. CROWN COURT. THE BEnicnswar.r. MURDER.—This morning James Rcad was put on his trial for the murder of Thomas Tranter, of Berkeswell, near Coventry. The case excited great interest, and the Court was crowded long before nine o'clock, the hour fixed for the trial. _ . On Mr. Justice Coltman taking his seat the prisoner was placed in the dock. lie is only eighteen years of age, and his youthful appearance created some sympathy in his favour. He was attired in a light-coloured taglioni, light waistcoat, and had on his neck a black cravat. The indictment having been read over, the prisoner pleaded Not Guilty in a firm and able voice. Mr. Whitehurst and Mr. Hayes conducted the prosecution. Mr. Miller attended for the prisoner. Mr. WitrrEttunsT stated the case, briefly preferring, as he observed, that the Court and jury should hear the main facts against the prisoner from the witnesses themselves. Evidence was gone into at great length, but as we have so recently given the details copiously, we abstain from re peating them. It will be remembered that the deceased was found dead in his house, his brains having been knocked out with a bill-hook, which lay near the body. A young man, supposed to have been the prisoner, was seen as if coining from the house ; and there were various circumstances con nected with his disappearance from the neighbourhood calcu lated to involve him in strong suspicion, &c. Mr. MILLER addressed the jury at great length for the pri soner, and commenced by denouncing in strong terms the exclusion of the prisoner's attorney from the examinations which took place before the magistrates. Mr. M. then pro ceeded to the evidence, which was of a purely circumstantial nature ; and after an address of nearly two hours from the Learned Gentleman, His LORDSHIP summed up the evidence, observing that there were circumstances in some parts of the case requiring grave consideration. One of the witnesses had stated that he found blood upon the axe and the bill-hook, although the surgeon had stated that there had been only one wound inflicted upon the deceased. Relative to the evidence given by Mr. Lazarus, it would have been very important if he could have identified the prisoner as the person who pledged the handkerchief; but he had doubts upon that point. The Learned Judge, in conclusion, adverted to the other important points of the evidence, and terminated his address at ten minutes past five o'clock ; after which the jury consulted for five minutes, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. HOME ClRCUlT.—Kingston, March 31. (Before Lord Chief Justice DESMAN and a Special Jury.) ANGELL V. ANGELL. This was an action of ejectment to remove possession of twenty-two acres of land at Stockwell. Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Petersdorff, and Mr. Bovell were for the plaintiff; the Attorney-General, Mr. Sergeant Chen nell, and Mr. Peacock for the defendant. _ _ This cause has been so frequently reported that it will be unnecessary to go into the particulars at any great length on the present occasion. The defendant became possessed of very considerable property under the will of John Angell, who died in 1794, and by whose will it would appear that all " Angels"' or "Angelis" who could be found were invited to come forward and claim the property, his object apparently being to discover the real descendant of one John Angell, described in the cause as John the Caterer, on account of his holding an office in the Accatery at Windsor Castle, in the time of King Charles the First, and he appeared anxiously to desire that the estates should descend to one of the male line. The title of the defendant, by marriage with a Brown, who, according to the evidence, "was an Angell," was admitted, but the plaintiff set up on behalf of his claim, that he was lineally descended from Thomas Angell, the sixth son of John the Caterer, and that therefore he was the legal heir to the large property of the testator. It should be stated that by a recent statute, long possession of the estates had ousted the plaintiff, whatever his legal rights might be, from any claim, and the present action only involved a very small portion of the pro perty, said to be worth not more than about 8,0001., which was relieved from the operation of the statute of limitations, on account of the lease having expired only a few years back. The same question involved in the present action was dis posed of at the last Croydon Assizes, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, but upon subsequent motion the Court granted a new trial, which now came down to be dis posed of. The evidence was exactly of the same description as that which was adduced at the previous trial. The plaintiff en deavoured to show, that he was descended from Thomas Angell, the sixth son of John the Caterer, as above stated, and who, it appeared, was lost sight of altogether in the year 1670. It was understood to be shown, that this Thomas Angell reappeared at a' little village in Worcestershire, called Cleve Prior, in 1682, and that he married a woman named Anne Lilly, at Evesham, in that year. The evi dence adduced, however, was far from being satisfactory, and it appeared very evident, in the course of the case, that many of the registers and other important documents that were adduced in support of the plaintiff's claim, had been altered and tampered with, so that very little reliance could be placed upon them. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in a very forcible and able ad dress to the jury, pointed out the weakness of the evidence in support of the plaintiff's claim, and urged that there was no testimony whatever upon which they could rely, that could justify them in disturbing the defendant in the possession of that property to which he, at all events, was shown to have a legal right. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up, The jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the de fendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Three men, named William Smith, Charles Ellis, and Daniel Nash, were charged with aiding and assisting at a dog-fight, which took place at a house in Nears-yard, St. Giles's ; and John Mansfield was charged with keeping the house in question, for the purpose of fighting dogs. Eighty-eight other persons were taken into custody, but were set at liberty on giving their names and addresses. It appeared that the prisoners were apprehended under the sth and 6th Wm. IV., that being the only Act under which the police can enter a house, and arrest the offenders, without a warrant. But the Police Act being the only Act under which mere spectators can be arrested, no charge could be enter tained against any but the principals. From the statements of Inspector Dodd, of the F Division, and of two officers of the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, named Crispin and Smith, it appeared that information having been given to the police that a dog-fight was to take place in the house in question, Crispin went there at about half-past three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of ascertaining the truth of that information. Finding preparations for the dog-fight actively going on, he left the place, and as soon as possible returned with a body of policemen, who arrived while the fight was going on. They seized the dogs and as many of the persons present as they were able to arrest, the others being taken by a reinforcement, who arrived soon after. Two badgers (one of them dead) were found on the premises. Mansfield and Smith were fined in the full penalty of 5/. each ; but Ellis and Nash were discharged, as it was not proved that they " aided and abetted," or that they were any more than spectators in the exhibition. CLERKEN WELL. Wednesday, John Allan Pigott, aged 18, was charged with threatening the life of Mr. J. A. Pigott, his father, a gentle man of fortune, residing in Heathcote-street, Mecklenburgh square. • Mr. Pigott, an infirm old gentleman, who had lost the use of his limbs, deposed that he was aroused from sleep on that morning, between 3 and 4 o'clock, by a violent altercation at his door. Upon inquiry he found that it was caused by his son, who had driven home two girls of the town in a cab, whom he wished to bring into the house. Witness gave ' directions to the footman to refuse him admission, and to send the girls away. The prisoner upon hearing this, be came extremely violent. Witness with difficulty got over to the window, but had no sooner put his head out than Master Pigott assailed him with the most vituperative language and threatened to do him severe personal injury ; the young des perado then broke the windows, and finding admission for his frail friends could not be obtained, drove off. Some time after witness was informed by a policeman that the prisoner and a girl of the town were actually in the house; and this turned out to be the fact. The footman had, contrary to his orders, admitted them, and they were in the prisoner's bed room on the same floor with witness. Mr. Pigott, who seemed greatly distressed, added that the prisoner had on previous occasions threatened his life, and, actuated by fear, he reluctantly sought the protection of the magistrate against the hand of his own son. Police-constable Blackburne, 120 E, saw the prisoner drive By to the door in a cab with a prostitute, and both admitted. By direction of Mr. H. Pigott he removed the prisoner, who PRICE SD. gave the young lady that was with him into custody for stealing a sovereign. Frances Harries, the young woman in question, was then placed in the dock on a charge of stealing a sovereign. Master Pigott was then transferred from the prisoner's to the witness-box, and with an air of perfect nonchalance said he took the prisoner home with him, and that she had stolen a sovereign. Mr. COMBE—Then you admit all this profligacy ? Pro secutor (smiling—Oh yes. Mr. Comm—Are you aware of the disgraceful position in which you stand? Prisoner—Quite. Mr. ComnE—Then you admit taking a prostitute into your father's house ! He answered in the affirmative, and added, that ,he met Miss Harries at " Mother H.'s," near Drury-lane Theatre. The unfortunate prisoner said the prosecutor had met her in Mother H.'s saloon, and asked her to accompany him home. She had no idea she was trespassing, and had she known she was under the roof of his father, would have thrown herself out of the window. He gave her the sove reign. Mr. COMBE at once discharged the poor girl, and declared he had never seen more hardened profligacy in one so young as the prosecutor. He also commented with severity on the conduct of the footman. Mr. Pigott, sen., declared that he considered his life to be in danger from the prisoner's threats. Mr. COMBE said he would not set the prisoner at liberty unless he found two sureties in 1001. each to keep the peace. At a later period of the day the prisoner was admitted to bail and discharged. IRELAND. CONFESSIONS OF A TIPPERARY INFORMER. The occasion is rare indeed upon which the informer was known to come into court with clean hands; but of all the miscreants of the tribe that ever figured in a teniple of,„tus tice, foremost stands Mr. James Darmody, in the capacity of an approver in a case tried before the Chief Baron at Nenagh assizes on Friday last. Two men, Edward Ryan and John Conway, were indicted for assaulting the habitation of Pat Hogan,-ofßawn, and firing into it a loaded gun. The following is the cross-examination of the approver, Darmody, who, in his direct evidence had sworn he was in stigated to fire,..in the attack on Hogan, by a person named Kennedy I Cross-examined by Mr. ROLLESTON-HOW old are you ?

Upon your oath, would you not shoot a man if you were asked ?—I don't think I would. And why did you go to shoot a man for Fogarty ?—I did it because I knew him.—(Sensation.) So if any manou knew asked you to murder another, you would do it?—When I am on such business I would not kill a man unless I was attacked. —(Murmurs.) Then you were on such business before ?—I was: Were you ever at the taking of the Black Chapel ?—I was not. Were you ever in gaol for Shanahan's murder ?—I was.

Did you do anything to the body of the man you butchered? —I did not, but I heard that one of the party did. What did they do to him ?—I can't tell what they did to him. How long were you butchering him ?—(The witness here hesitated to answer.) Answer this Court, Sir, said counsel; I have a catalogue of your villany here (pointing to his brief). How long were you doing the job, I ask you again ? —We were not long about it.—(Sensatien.) Was there not a charge of rape against one of the party on that occasion ?—There was. Now, answer me this question—Did you not stand in the door of Bolton's house while three of the murderers com mitted a rape on his daughter ?—I did. And the corpse of the murdered man lying before you in the yard? (Here an audible thrill ran through the court, and thine was a pause of a moment.)

On your oath did you ever see Shanahan until the night you helped to murder him ?—I did not see him until that night.—(Sensation.) Can you tell how long you were butchering him ?—I can't say. Was it on Sunday you did it P—l can't tell whether it was or not ; it is ten years ago. COUNSEL—Ten years ago, and you are now 26, so you began your trade as a murderer at 16 years old ?—I —(Sensation.) Were you at the killing of Ryan ?—I was. When did that murder take place?—About a year after. Were you at the killing of Hayes ?—I was. When did that occur?-0n the 6th of August last; he was killed in the evening; I did not see him killed, but saw him dead. Do you remember being a witness upon the trial when the fight took place between Stapleton and Gleeson?—l do. You swore you saw them fighting in a field P—l did. Did you fire a shot at Hogan's house?—No. Was your pistol charged ?—lt was. What did you do with it ?—I brought it home, and kept it for a fortnight. Did you fireoff the charge?—No. Fogarty fired it through the door when he took it from me. Were you at Hogan's house at any time after the attack ? —I was in about a month after. It might be three weeks. What brought you there ?—I went to fight for him. — (Laughter.) Couriszta—So you went to fight for Hogan, though you went to murder him three weeks before ?—(Laughter.)—l did. Pat Murphy took me there to have a fight with a party at Hogan's. Did you see the man they killed?—l did. Had you any band in killing him?—No. How many of them were there ?—About 30 of them. Had they arms ?—None of them had arms. They had sticks. Had they powder or shot, or ball ?—They had not. Did you see Hogan looking sharp at you when you went to his house again ?—I did not. Did you blush when you saw the face of the man you went to murder P—No, I did not blush. Upon your oath did Kennedy give you bullets and pow der ?—Upon my oath he did not. Was it after the shot was fired that the woman was struck with a stone by Fogarty P—lt was. And a boy of the Darmodys did not do anything at all, I suppose ?—(Laughter.)—l did not do anything. I would not do anything unless there was an attack on me. Did Ryan die of his woiknds?—He did. When you went to Hogan's house you were shown the bedroom he slept in ?—I was. Upon your oath, if you got into his room would you not murder him?—(Here the approver turned a ferocious look upon Mr. Rolleston, and, without any hesitation, replied in a loud and resolute voice, " I would.") CouxsEr.,—How far is Traverston from Hogan's?—lt is a mile. Well, my fine boy, when did you turn informer ?—I don't know what you mean. Upon your oath don't you know what I mean ?—When did you split, or burst, as they say in the Terry slang—when did you stag ?—( Laughter. ) I first gave my information in the Thurles Brideweli. What were you there for ?—I was charged with robbery. With what robbery ; what did you rob ?—I robbed two houses near Toomayara.—( Murmurs).

What induced you to give information ?—I heard that one of the party was going to turn approver, and I turned before him. _ So you told all you knew to save yourself ?—I did. Murders and all?—Murders and all.—(Murmurs.) You may go down. There was other corroborating evidence, and the prisoners were found Guilty. MURDER OF PATRICK CLARKE, Egg. DUBLIN, MARCH 30.—The Criminal Court at Nenagh was occupied on Saturday with the trial of the two men charged with conspiring to murder the late Mr. Clarke.

F rom comm ,...ications Mr. Simpson has received, there appears notion that this Sale is speculative, and not the to be a n --'ailing inte.cion of the Proprietor to sell unless he obtains extravagant f akes, he therefore thinks it right to inform the Public that the property is placed in his hands with the full intention of the Pro. prietor to sell, who has left the reserve prices of each lot entirely to Mr. Simpson.

One of the most improving and extensive FEE SIMPLE ES TATES in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county. R. \V. W. SIAIPSON has the honour to an nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, early in the month of JUNE, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The GALGORM or GLENAHERTY, the BRAID, and KELLS ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable improve ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or connected with the various branches of the linen trade; the ma jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estates are very valuable, and there are exten sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands, abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quartcr c: a mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a surface of about 50,000 acres, The Belfast and Ballymena Rail way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob. tabled of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, solicitors, Merrion-square, Dublin; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. 'W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury. M. Simpson, from obvious reasons, which need no explanation to the public, has recommenCed his noble and other proprietors of Irish estates to defer those sales which were intended for April to the month of June. Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the "Times" news paper made the following review :—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence of the Land lords °Umlaut, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant, The' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, of vast ex perience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowlege and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, perhaps, as any man in his time to improve her resources, by en couraging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably unimpeachable.' " PLATE AB.• B.

IRISH CRIMES—THE EFFECT OF REWARD. Two men, Patrick Hayes and Patrick Rice, were put.en trial at Nenagh, oriThesday last ; their trial has not yet concluded. The evidence for the prosecution terminated on Saturday night, having occupied five days. The case for the defence was opened yesterday, and the counsel who led for the prisoners occupied the day. The following evidence was given in the - course of the investigation by the brother of one of the witnesses for the prosecution. This man had himself sworn an information in the case ; but the Crown was unwilling to produce him-until taunted with tke circum stance by the prisoner's counsel. Mr. DWYER called on the Crown to produce John Burns, and Mr. Martley did so, in order that prisoner's counsel might have the benefit of his cross-examination. He was merely asked a few questions by Mr. Martley, and stated he had not hired Hayes to work for him that season. • Cross-examined—l was arrested and kept a couple of hours in custody before I gave my information. I have known Pat Hayes for five or six years. After the murder my brother, George Burns, sent down for me one evening; he was sitting in the house at the fire with his sons, John and Dan Burns. William Shannon was also there, and old Mannion. George Burns spoke to me, and asked' if Pat Hayes was not in my field that day. He then asked'me if I would join and give informations against Pat Hayes lor the conspiracy and murder of Mr. Clarke ; that we would get as much money as would make rich men of us. I said I would not join for blood-money in a thing I knew nothing about. I walked out then and heard nothing more about it. Mannion, the fiddler, said he was working with Mr. Clarke, on the day the murder was committed ; himself and Susan Hill met, and that he was in dread to ask her to join in an information in this case, because she was a Protestant. John Mannion said he had asked Sam to join, and that he refused. I heard nothing about persons of the name of Spain, but they talked of Billy Hill as a person likely to have suspicion light on him. They did not finally determine on that night against whom they would swear. Mr. ManmEr—How soon after the murder did this con versation take place? John Burns—l do not exactly know. Did you know that Hayes at that time was charged with the crime ?—I heard he was taken at the time. Before whom did you swear informations ?-13efore Mr. Tabuteau. Was it before Hayes was arrested or after that this conver sation took place?—Before Hayes was arrested. Can you say how soon after the murder did thia4o4va lion take place ?—About ten days or a week. "Did you tell thrs - alleed Onlersatiarr te- Mr,44 Sure, there is an account of what I stated. you not telltell him te h'aabtu partau w of h what it; i you tw as h a n v o e t sworn to m o re ? —I D d id id Did you suggest a single word about the conversation be tween yeu, George Burns, and Mannion ?—No answer. Question repeated—l id not. How soon did you mention it ?—I mention it now. Was that the first time you mentioned it ?—I mentioned it at present. And not before ?—No answer. Did y - ou tell it before?—To John Hayes, the prisoner's brother. How long ago 7.—lt is not a month since. And when next did you mention it ?—I stated annion it here. • George Burns, John Mannion , an d young M were one after another confronted with this witness, and in the most positive manner swore that all that had been stated by John Burns as to the alleged conversation was false. John Burns said that it did take place. John Moran was the next witness, and be proved having met the prisoner Hayes in Nenagh on the morning of the murder, and he went part of the way back with him; they parted near Meara's forge. Joseph Tabuteau, the resident magistrate, was produced, and after considerable discussion the examination of the pri soner Pat Hayes, was given in evidence, the usual formali ties having been observed when it was taken. This exami nation was at variance with the evidence of several of the witnesses, for he denied having been in Nenagh the day of the murder. He said he was digging potatoes all day with John Burn, for his hire, and after hearing of the murder he went home and never stirred outain the whole night. AWFUL. DISTRESS OF TH E PEASANTRY.—CON SUMING THE SEED POTATOES. We (Clare Journal) regret to learn, on good authority, that in some places the people are eating the seed potatoes, their present necessities obliging them to deprive themselves of the hope of a supply even for next year. As a further proof of the distress of the peasantry, we may mention that in the neighbourhood of Clare, those employed have asked to be paid their wages on W e d nes d a y a nd Saturday, their total want of provision not allowing them to wait for weekly payments, as heretofore. ... ATTEMPT TO MURDER. The following is from a correspondent of the Evening Free man, at Mountmellick :—On the evening of Sunday, about seven o'clock, the houseof Widow Cantwell, of Skelly, two miles from Mountmellick, was attacked by three men. One of them presented a double-barrel pistol at ThomasCantwell,who grasped the weapon, and while he was endeavouring to wrench it from the ruffian it exploded and lodged its con tents, two balls, in the body of his brother Joseph, who was coming to his assistance. Joseph Cantwell now lies danger ously ill, and is not expected to recover. The balls were ex tracted by Dr. Crolly, who afforded the wounded man every assistance within the scope of medical aid. Thomas Cant well was wounded slightly in the fingers. After firing the shot the three men retired. These men had rendered them selves obnoxious by their acting as bailiffs on a portion of the notoriously-known lands of Clonaheen, now held by a Mr. Beale. A man named William Walsh, has been taken on suspicion. He was ejected, with others, from these lands twelve months ago. The lock and shattered breech of a pistol was found on Monday morning in Cantwell's house; it is supposed that tho pistol burst at the time of its discharge. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, APRIL 1.
