THE COURT-MARTIAL ON THE RIOTERS OF THE
NORTH TIPPERARY MILITIA closed on Monday night;
four of the mutineers were found guilty, and
sentenced to death, and the court ordered two more
to be handed over for trial by the civil authorities.
The finding of the court was forwarded at once
through General Sir J. C. Chatterton to the Com-
mander-in-Chief, to be submitted to the Queen for
final decision.

A NAVAL SQUADRON, consisting of H.M.S. Duke
of Wellington, Conqueror, Inflexible, and gunboats,
have arrived at Kingstown.

THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS made his final orders
on Saturday in the appeal cases of Mr. Kennedy,
the Rev. John Whately, and Mr. Sterling, all of
whom had been placed on the list of contributories
by the Master in Chancery (Mr. J. J. Murphy). In
each case the Master of the Rolls refused the appeal
motion, with costs. In the appeal of Mr. Girling,
one of the English shareholders who had taken an
assignment of shares fraudulently issued to Alvan
Farrell, his honour made a similar order to that
" Tit re Ginger," reversing the Master's decision,
and striking Mr. Girling off the list of contributories.
The effect of this will be to leave matters much as
they are till November, when the main question of
appointing a receiver, and withdrawing the affairs of
the bank from the operation of the Winding-up Act.
will be heard before the Lord Chancellor.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR, on the motion that Mr.
G. M'Dowell be appointed a receiver over the per-
sonal and real estates of Mr. James Sadleir, decided
in favour of the appointment if Mr. M'Dowell would
undertake the duties.
