SPECIAL AND lIINCTE ltr•rrnxs In►►r, it is said, been
called fi►r by the Government respi cling the present
state of the constituencies in the Irish boroughs, as
compared with the number of electors on the registry
immediately after the passing of the Irish Reform
Act. It is supposed that those returns have some
connection with Lord John Russell's new Reform Bill.
Tin: GREAT SEAL. OF IRELAND has been placed in
iu consequence, it is said, of the inten-
tion of the Lord Chancellor to proceed to London,
where, according to a prevailing rumour, his attend-
ance is considered necessary, respecting the Reform
measure for Ireland.
A seems MORNINO PAPER statr4 that a condi•
Ronal order for an attachment, bearing date 15th
I wee., has issued against John Stollen., Esq., M.P.,
one of the Lords of the Treasury, to comsel the pay-
ment of the purchase money of the portions of the
Gletigall estate bought by him on the llth Nov. last.
The amount is 67,01'01., of which 1,000/. has been
paid in. It is understood that. Mr. Sailleir only
made the purchases in trust, and that his responsi-
bility iu the affair is not of a personal character.
THE CASE o!• DOWLINIi r. I,Awici:," which arose
out of the last Carlow election, and occupied the
whole time of the Dublin Exehequer Court from
Monday to Saturday m last week, was brought to a
close on the e►ening of the latter dui. Among the
witnesses examined was Mr. Sadleir, M.l'., who de-
nied on oath many allegations and charges made
against him, one of which was to the effect that he
had caused the imprisonment of Mr. I fowling for not
voting for him. The issues which the jury had to
try were these :—" First, whether there was an agree-
ment between Daniel Crotty and John Sadleir. or any
person on behalf of John Sadleir, that Daniel Crotty,
should be released front all liability on two hills of
exchange for the respective sums of 150/. and 200/.,
mentioned in certain affidavits in this matter: se,
condly, if so, whether the Carboy branch of the Tip-
perary Joint stock Bank, or any person on that behalf,
m pursuance of such agreement, discounted a certain
bill of exchange drawn by one Edward Lawler on and
accepted by one William Ling: thirdly, did the bank
discount the last-mentioned bill of exchange with the
bond fide intention of holding Edward Lawler liable

thereon ; fourthly, whether or not Daniel Crotty was
bmnuifide trustee for Edward Lawler or for the Tip •
perary Bank in issuing the execution under which
the plaintiff was arrested." The Chief Baron having
delivered his charge, the jury almost immediately
brought in a verdict for the plaintiffon all the counts.
The etfeet of this will be the release of Dowling from
durance, free from all liability, as far as the two diets
puled bills are conceived, and the probable institu-
tion of an action for false imprisonment and con-
spiracy to deprive the plaintiff' of his right to vote at
the Carlow election.

Ti,,: aREPoRTED ESCATE OF SMITH O'BRIEN turns
out to be unfounded. Letters have been received in
Dublin front that convict, written from New Norfolk,
bearing date ISth September, three days later than
the date assigned for his elopement.
A %Env InsinEssiNo CAME or Sr itroE took place in
Dublin on Tuesday, Lieut.-Colonel Layard,late M.P.
for Carlow, having destroyed himself by cutting his
throat in a very frightful manner with a razor. It
appears that some alarm WWI given before the de-
ceased was able to complete the fatal act, and that
his wife, who called two other gentlemen residing in
the house to her aid, rushed into the room, and seized
his arms; but the of of all three to prevent the ac-
complishinunt of his purpose were ttnavailing,and he
inflicted some gashes on himself even while his wife
and the gentlemen in question were struggling to
hold him. Death ensued in about twenty minutes.
It is said that depression of mind, arising from mat-
ters of business. was the cause of the fatal deed.
