IRELAND.

•••=1•11
DUBLIN. Jaw. 16.
The Right Hon. Maziere Brady, Lord Chancellor,
took his seat yesterday morning on the Chancery
bench, for the first time since his second elevation to
that dignity. His lordship appeared in court in the
ordinary costume, and without any parade ' • so that
a casual observer would not have perceived that any
official change had taken place. As soon as the
Chancellor had taken his seat, Abraham Brewster,
Esq.,Q.C., and William Keogh, Esq., Q.C., appeared at
the side bar, dressed in full court costume, when his
lordship informed them that her Majesty had been
pleased to appoint them, by letteqi patent, her At-
torney and Solicitor-General for Ireland, and re•
quested them to take their seats within the bar ac-
cordingly. The learned gentlemen then took their'
seats within the bar, the former as Attorney and the
latter as Solicitor-General.
The Mail says:—" It is generally rumoured to-
day that Mr. Villiers Stuart, some time member
for the county of Waterford. is to be the new
Under Secretary for Ireland, in the room of Mr.
Winne.

The newspaper war against the Irish piss:omen
is sustained with as much inveterate animosity and
perseverance as ever; the columns of the Toted,
Notion, and livernan, and of a host of humble
imitators in the provincial press, being still filled
with the subject. There is a great deal of blunder
and inconsistency in the denunciations uttered .
against Messrs. Sadleir and Keogh. while the
friends of those gentlemen for the most pert
content themselves with treating the matter,
as one in which personal enmity forms a
principal element, the chief promoters of the agita-
tion being the proprietors of the three Dublin papers
which have suffered most by the establishment of a
cheap weekly paper by Mr. Sadleir and some of his
friends. Neither does the phalanx arrayed against
the plaoemen appear very firm or compact in itself,
for independent of private bickerings which occur at
committee meetings, and do not meet the eye in the
public press, symptoms of jealousy are also externally
visible. Thus we find Mr. Duffy, writing with the
pronoun " I" for " we" in this day's Notion, throw-
ing out soma hints of dissatisfaction with the senti-
ments of Mr. G. H. Moore. In his recent epistle
against Messrs. Sadleir and Keogh Mr. Moore said :
—" I have always objected to pledges being made so
comprehensive as to be incomprehensible. I thought
the resolution passed at the Tenant Conference
objectionable on this ground. Mr. Keogh and Mr.
Lucas thought differently, and that pledge, as 1 com
prebend it, has been since then very lightly dealt
with by all parties." The passage in the honourable
gentleman's letter has higherto escaped comment,
but " a clergyman" calls Mr. Duffy's attention to it
as "most dangerous and most damaging," and Mr.
Duffy, thus appealed to on the subject, says :
I observed the obnoxious sentence in Mr. Moore's letter
on its first appearance; and as my reverend friend is a
thoroughly practical man, he will understand me when I
tell him that I passed it over, because it is undesirable to
raise new issues, while so serious a one is still pending be-
fore the tribunal of the people. But since be challenges
inquiry, I will say, for myself, that I do not know, and
cannot conceive, upon what ci-cumstances Mr. Moore
founds his opinion, that the pledge was treated lighay " by
all parties."
Considering that Mr. Moore is the acknowledged
chief of those who now call themselves the " Irish
party," this questioning of his meaning on the part
of a subordinate "officer," and his unmistakeable
sinuation against the integrity of his party, argue
anything but confidence in the remaining rause of
the tackle:4 " Irish brigade."
The campaign of the Carlow election has been
commenced in earnest, and promises to furnish one
I of the most dh'graceful chapters in the not very cre-

ditable history of Irish agitation. The tenant-
leaguers have resolved on the desperate course of
joining heart and hand with the Orange party for
the purpose of returning the Orange candidate in
opposition to Mr. Sadleir; and thus crowning their
factious hostility by a disgraceful revenge, which the
state of the constituency renders it but too probable
they may bo able to effect. A person, whom the
Freeman styles "a highly respectabie, able, and
popular catholic gentleman,' is to make his appear-
ance on the Carlow hustings on Monday, and ho
there proposed as a candidate, for the put pose of
giving an apology to some eight or a dozen electors,
—even less would do—to vote for hint against Mr.
Sadleir, and thus show Mr. Alexander, the D. rbyite,
to carry the election. The manteuvre is too
palpably monstrous to be coloured over with arty plau-
sibility ; so that if the deputation who have been sent
down from the Tenant League nod "Religious
Equality" committee should be able to influence a
few of the electors to refrain from voting for Mr.
Sadleir, it is even possible that the clumsy contriv-
ance of starting a pseudo-liberal antagonist to him
might not be resorted to. This, however, is not pro-
bable, for the two deputations have been met with
such a storm of unpopularity that they will scarcely
be able to find any opportuniti of carrying out their
purpose. Although the greater number of them are
priests, the accounts from Carlow this evening state
they had a narrow escape from the hands of the
people. One report was, that they had been flung
into the river, but they were rescued from this
fate by the interference of the police, whose presence
was indispensable to protect them. Dr. liely, tho
Roman catholic bishop, is a most warm supporter of
Mr. Sadleir, and the famous Father Maher, whose
influence is said to be all-powerful, has not, with all
the efforts made for the purpose, been detached front
Mr. Sadleir's cause. The Rev. Mr. Maher has come
to Dublin to-day, it is said fur the purpose of consult-
, ing Archbishop Cullen, who, I have no doubt, has
good sense enough to give his advice in favour of
Mr. Sadleir. The name of the "liberal catholic" who
is to oppose Mr. Sadleir has not yet transpired, though
various parties are spoken of.
Before Mr. Moore proceeded to Carlow yesterday,
the following very remarkable correspondence passed
between him and Mr. Sadleir, who, it will be seen,
ably vindicates his own character :
Morrison's Hotel, Dublin, Jan. 13.
My dear Sadleir,—You are of course aware that I disap-
prove of the course you have taken is act cpting oftise
under the present government, and breaking no, as far as
in you lay, that indi pendent party in parliament, in con-
nexion with which we have so long acted together.
I felt that on such an occasion I was bound either to join
you earnestly or oppose you earnestly ; and I have thought
it my duty to adopt the latter course.
Pubic opinion must declare between us ; and you have
appealed to the public of Carlow. I wish to appeal to the
people of C.rluw also, and to state the ground: on which I
have separated from you, and condemn your conduct.
Your letter to Mr. Lucas assures me that you are
anxious fur public disco:Sion, and it is necessary for the
information of public opinion that sorts discussion shJuld
take piles.
In accordance with these circumstances, and deputed by
the committee of Religious Equally, of which you are or
were a member, it is my intention to proceed to Carlow, on
Saturday, and I intend you to meet me in public discussion,
youwherever
app ynur
oint. better knowledge of the loca.ity may lead
to
Alter the constant intercourse, public and private, which
has for years subsisted between us without the interruption
of a single doubtful word, or doubtful feeling, I need not
assure you that I am influenced by any motives but those
of public duty; and that no issue shall be raised by me but
the injury which I believe you have inflicted on the publie
Clll3.4..—Your's sincerely, G. 11. Moist&
John Sadleir, Esq., M.P., Carlow.
Carlow, January 14, 1863.
Sir,—Your statement that, I have to the utmost of my
power, broken up the Irish Party, is an unfounded allega-
tion, and the future conduct of that party will furnish the
best refutation of your assertion.
You have leagued youiself with those who rely on a sys-
tem of mitirepresentation, to prove that lam a pl..dge-
breaker, a perjurer, traitor, and government slave—that I
have altered my convictions, abandoned my opinions, and
betrayed a party and a cause. You have linked yourself on
to those who declare I have been always dishonest. You
and they resort to malignant insinuation and to libel, for
the purpose of raising a cry that, by joining Lord Aber-
deen's government, I have been guilty oft erjury, treason,
and corruption ; but you know—and Messrs. Gray, Lucas,
and Duffy know—and you cannot conceal from the country
the) fact—that my joining Lord Aberdeen's government is
' regarded as a proper and consistent step on my part by
men quite as distinguished for ability, experience, firmness,
and sincerity, as auy one of my assailants.
You know the opinions on this subject of Mr. Sharman
Crawford and many others, whose convictions on this point
it is not safe to disregard.
You have had your meetings and your discussions, and
the libels issued against me have had their swing; but the
liberal electors of Carlow—of wham the revered Bishop of
Kildare and Leighlin is one—are united, are determincpto
present an unbroken front in the impending contest with
the tory candidate.
f hat candidate is backed by a powerful phalanx ; and the
liberal electors feel they have quite enough to occupy their
minds at present in resisting that party, of whom Mr. Alex-
ander is the champion, without allowing the harmony whisk
now prevails to be assailed by the harangues of host.ledepa-
Wiens.
Your presence here would not only be hailed by the
tory party as a favouring omen for their failing cause,
but your presence here at this juncture would be re-
garded by every cool head and sound heart in the liberal
party as promoting the cause of discord and division,
and not the cause of calm and deliberate discussion. To
talk of coming here now, on the pretext of aiding in a
course of frank discussion upon a question which you have
not scrupled to prejudge, is too absurd to obtain credence
In this town.

LA your object and intentions be whatever you please,
if your mission to Carlow make any progress it could
only tend to defeat the liberal party, aad o hand ever
the representation of the borough to a bitter faction.
It has not been considered sufficient to slander me—no,
the liberal electors who have always supported, and who
support me at the cost of fearful sacrifices on their part,
must be also attacked, and, accordingly, they are held up to
the public as a venal and corrupted constituency, secured
by bribes, aad sustained by bludgeon men.
If you can form an idea of the feelings which each eon-
duct can excite in the breasts of men prepared fur any
sacrifice rather than forfeit their independence, you sea
imagine the indignation which this scurrilous system of
wholesale calumny has evoked in this town.
I disapprove of your appearing here, and I shall be ne
party to your movement, which I regard u a vain effort on
your part to secure the return of Mr. Alexander, to give
an insidious blow to the liberal party, and a stamp anti .
' currency to the libels which lutes been concocted and sir
matted against me.
I am, your obedient tenant.

AN INMATE OF A CONVENT POISONED.

BRISTOL, SATURDAY ETININIL
An inquest has just been brought to a close before
Mr. Fry, coroner for North Somerset, at the White Hart
Inn, Brislington, touching the death of a fine young wo-
man, named Emma Forty, but known in the convent u
Melanie, who was a penitent in the Convent of the Good
Shepherdess, at Amos Court, and who came to her di ath
through poison, administered to her by the Sister Assistant,
Miss Sophia Ryder, in mistake fur a medicine which had
been prescribed for her by the medical attendant, Dr.
O'Brien. Miss Ryder is stated to be the daughter of a pro-
testant bishop, a near relative of Earl Harrowby, and a
niece of Sir George Grey, and she is herself ape . A
great number of rumours had got abroad respecting the
, circumstances under which the deceased had been poisoned,
1 and a very unusual degree of interest was manifested
thequghout the very lengthened inquiry.
The jury having viewed the body, a number of witnesses
were examined, the substance of whose evidence was, that
the deceased was suffering from an internal complaint, fer
which the physician of the hospital prescribed the proper
remedy in the shape of a draught. 'f he dispensing of the
medicines prescribed, however, was entruNted to Sophia
Ryder, one of the nuns, and she in mistake used tincture of
aconite and morphine instead of tincture of quinine in
making up the prescription. The consequence was that
deceased died in a few hours after the adwinistration of
the medicine. A post mortem examination ut the body
showed that death had resulted from poisoning by aconite,
and it was also demonstrated to have been cawkil purely by
accident. _ .

The coroner having summed up the evidence,
The foreman of the jury said they wished to return •
verdict in the following form: " That Emma Forty's death
was occasioned by Om negligence of Miss Sophia nyder,
who administered to her aconite, a poisonous drug, in mis-
take fur medicine prescribed for her, and the jury consider
that much blame is attributable to the authorities of the
convent fur allowing a practice which prevails therein of
permitting persons to dispense medicines who; from their
want of the necessary education, are ignorant of their
nature. The jury further wish to express a hope that such
practice will in future be discontinued."
Mr. Dillow, surgeon, said be was desired by the superior
to say that • change would be introduced. He (Mr.
Gillow) bad formerly dispensed the medicines, until his in-
creasing engagements prevented his so doing.
It was here suggested that the term " negitgenee" im-
plied a duty, so that the verdict might amount to one of
manslaughter.
The foreman avid such was not the intention of the jury.
They merely wished to censure the ►ystem ; and ultimately
the verdict was modified by :ltcring the words to " was
caused by the administration by Miss Ryder in mistake," &e.

CARDINAL WISE AN, during his visit to Leeds, at
the early part of neat month, is to be the guest of hones

This was a bill filed by the eitecie,ure of the surviving
eascotor of the will of Wear-Admiral Ocorge Sayer fir the
adosioistratien of his estate. The testatur, by his will
dated in ISIG, after giving some legacies, directed the
proses t. lit the- remainder of Lt. prnoere) to be iereated in
the fund., and the imams to be paid earwig his brothers
and sister., end hephcw. and mimeo, for their lives, in cer-
tain share.; aid at the death of the last survivor of his
nephews and nieces, whether burn in his lifetime or after
his death, he directed that the capital "rhould become the
property of the then nearest of kin to houself in the male
line in preference to the female lice, upon coniliti.n of the
inheritor thereof assuming the surname of Sayer only if
not of tkatll.4alv, nod that such lithe fitdr should taus
sad as., accoidis.g to law, tl.e arms (with due dif'
ferences) which might have been at any time pea'
Wouely to his (the testator's) death assigned tei!
him.- In default whereof, the testator directed that the
next in stave...ion who sewed legaliy comply with those
conditions, in respect of surname and arms, should become
entitled t.i the bind capital, with a proviso that nu inheritor
should he pot into posseesion until 21 years of age. By a
codicil, dated March, 1631, the testator, after stating that
his brother. and USW. hal received large sums from him,
mid were much better off than at the date of this will, di-
rected that i stead of the whole income being divided as
directed by the will, the interest of 10,000. should be di-
vided, and the reel tue should accumulete far 21 years from
his death. when the whole should be disposed of towards
his nearest of kin in the male line in preference to the
female line, under the conditions and restrictions as in his
said will were set forth ; the said inheritor first paying the
interest of the 10,0q1d. to the patties tended. There were
memorand . attached to the will, by which the testator di.
recited that certain articles. including hie badge of the
Order of -he Bath and a snuff hos preseuted to him by the
king of the Netherlands, should descend with the patent and
painting lit hi. armorial beariogs to the inheritor of the midi
%lot hi. property, and the descendants who might from time
to time succeed thereto. Directions as to hie being buried
with hes ancestors lit the name of Sayer were added, arid
as epitaph to be put epos his tomb; and upon the will was
• tracing lit his arms. The testator died without having
ever been married. He had orieinally seven sisters and
two brothers. At the aspiration of the 21 years both of the
brothers and five of the sisters were dead wit:tout :laving
been married. One of the oth was dead, leaving
fuer children, three WI., and a daughter The other sister
Jane was alive, baying married the defendant Stephen
Brialy, and having five children living. There was also
living a cousin Geerge Sayer, a sun of a brother of the tes-
tator's father. The yuestiou was which of these relations
repreeented the " nearest of kin to the testator in the mile
Mr. Russell and Mr. White appeared for the plaintiff',
but took no pert in the discussion.
The Solicitor-Oe I and Mr. Giffard appeared for the
sister Jane thirdly, end contended that the male line
meant es parte paterna. And that the eureiving sister
representing the nearest of kin descended from the tes-
tator's father, fulfilled the description in the will, and that
the provision for the change of name showed that the tes-
tate, intended not to exclude a female.
Mr. Follett and Mr. Charles Hall appeared fur the son of
the deceased sister, and contended that the words meant
nearest of kite being a male, and that a female could not by
law bear the arms.
Mr. Chinless and Mr. Barrage appeared for the eousin,
and contended that the person to fulfil the description in
the will must be a male, tracing his relationship entirely
through males.
Mr. Olen and Mr. Dickenson, for the nest of kin of • de
seamed brother, and Mr. Holt end Mr. Robert Pryor, for
the personal representative of the sister, Mrs. Boys, 'in-
tended that the will was altogether void for uncertainty.
His Honour reserved his judgment.

DOODALZ e. THE QUEER EnnOIO.—INDICTIMINT
7011 Paocuntso INDICIIIT PAINTS, WITH INTOST TO
PUBLISH.
This was the case of au indictment. in which there were
two clines of counts. The first clam charged the plaintiff
is emir with bevies in his possession certain indecent
prints f r the purpose of selling them; the second elan
charged the plaintiff with obtaining and procuring the said
prints with intent to publish them.
Mr. Metcalfe now appeared for the plaintiff, and asked
the court to quash i.e conviction, on the ground that,
under both of thew sets of counts, the conviction was bad.
The having indecent prints wee no offence in itself, and
the mere averment of an intention to sell does not alter the
ease. If there had been any act whatever to indicate such
an intention it would be different; but here there was
nothing but • bare averment of intent. "The King v.
Sutton" (2 Strange) had resulted, it was true, in a deci-
sion adverse to this view ; hut that case was overruled in
" The King v. 11eak..," (Kass. and My., Crown Cares).
The other .et of counts were also bad, as they showed no
eutfleient isomusencement of the indictable offence.
Mr. Clarkson was on the other side, bat was not called
spurn to reply.
Lord Campbell was of opinion that the first clam of
sonata were bad, Is they charged no act done. It was
quite &assistant with what appeared in these counts that
the prints might have come into the possession of the plain-
till in error in an innocent manner, and without his having
the shintest intention of making them public The merely
having such prints was not an indictable offence. But with
regard to the other set of counts, there was the solemn de-
cision of ell the judges, given in Easter Term, 1816, in the
seas of " The King v. Phillips." In that case it was de-
cided that procuring bad money, for the purpose of circu-
lating it, was a miedentemour. Applying the principle of
that case to the facts now before the court, the offence in
the present cam must be a misdemeanour also ; the sole
difference wee that the circulation of base coin was for
bidden by statute, while the publication of indecent prints
was furbidi.en by the common law of England. The pro-
miring of the prints was an overt act sufficient to show
the intent of emonsittleg that most wicked offence—the
circulation of indecent prints. The second class of counts
was therefore good.
The other learned judges concurred.
Lord Campbell then asked if the plaintiff in error was in
court, in order that he might be committed.
Oa being stalled, the plaintiff did not answer.
His sureties were then celled, and, ant answering, the
recognisance. were declared entreated. However, at the
rising of the eoart, the plaintiff in error appealed, and duly
sarreadind himself.

furnished by the plaintiff to hit wife were not necessaries,
and had never been seen by lslm. Ile had never authorised
his wife to contract debts for millinery and drones. Other
taints had been made upon him to a very large amount, for
millinery arid dresses aupplied to his wife, during the same
period without his knowledge or approval. The witness
stated that he was sorry to say he was out living on terms of
happiness with his wife. They had two children, and she
continued to live under his roof, but they had occupied dif-
ferent beds fur about It mouths. His income was about
4001. a year. On cross-examinstion, the defendant said he
was 48 years of age, and his wife 27. She received the 301.
a year under a bond from her father, but he was entitled to
it on his marriage. and had always allowed it to his wife.
Mr. heron Platt told the jury that the principal question
for their consideration was whether the sum of about 300.,
which it had been proved the defendant had allowed to his
wife within a period of 14 months, was sufficient to provide
clothes for a lady in her position of life; if they thought so,
they were bound to find a verdict for the defendant.
The jury, after a lung consultation, found a verdict fur
the plaintitf for the amount claimed, less the sum paid into
court.
Mr. Baron Platt—Then I suppose, gentlemen, you const-
der that an allowance of 4sf. 10s. for dressing a lady in the
situation of the defendant's wife, for 14 months, is not •
sufficient sum ?
A juryman—We think not, my lord.

This action was one of the results arising out of the gale '
of the 6th of October last. The Adventure was a vessel
of 168 tons, which had sailed on the Ist of that month
from Grangemouth, in the county of Stirling, with& cargo
of railway sleepers or chairs, bound for Alexandria. The
William Broderick, the vessel proceeding, was • brig of
241 tins, which had sailed front Shields on the 2nd, with •
cargo of coal., for the port of London. On the 4th the
weather became so threatening that she was brought up
with • fleet of 20 or 30 other vessels in Y•rmouth Roads;
and about 7.30 p.m. on the next day the Adventure was
seen nearly right ahead, and at about 3 or 4 cables' length
distance. She had no canvas set, and was driving through
the Roads, broadside oa. The crew of the scalier imme-
diately hailed her, and told her to hoist a sail, which if she
had done, they alleged, no collision would have taken place.
The Adventure, however, took no notice, and she was driven
with her starboard quarter against the bows of the:brig,
storing in her bows and driving her from her two anchors,
both of which were lost. The Adventure then fell square
alongside the Broderick, and sat last drove clear, carrying
away both the brig's masts. Tne master of that easel
had to signal fur assistance, and to employ a number of
boatmen in salvage services. Finally he was compelled to
have recourse to • steam tug, by the aid of which he was
towed up to Yarmouth. where his vessel was made safe on
the following day, the 6th. For the defence it was stated
that the Adventure was driven from her own anchors
owing to no negligence of her own, but by stress of weather,
whereas the Broderick had 'neglected to comply with the
Admiralty regulations with respect to light.; that the crew
of the Adventure had not heard (and, indeed, that it had
not perhaps been possible to hear) the hailing of the collier,
and, lastly, that they had themselves been driven ashore en
Yarmouth beach about 8 p.m.

This insolvent, a young man, clerk to an insurance com-
pany, applied under the Protection Act.
Mr. Cooke appeared for a person named Bengin, and
he was opposed by another creditor, named Aldridge, in
mu
Thme insolvent proposed to set aside lOL a year out of his
salary of 21. a week. He was married last March. At the
request of Mr. Cooke, he increased the offer to 151. a year ;
and in alluding to the application espressed a hope that
he should have been saved the " disgrace" of coming to the
court.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips impressed on him the fallacy
of such an idea. There was no " disgrace "in applying to
the court. lie made the remark lest it should go forth to
the public that there was any disgrace in petitioning the
court. He had seen many applicants who were objects of
commiseration. He had seen literary men,whose works had
delighted the public, coming to the court, on account of the
disgraceful remuneration given by the publishers. The ere-
ditor, Aldridge, refused to take the offer of 151., and went
into the manner in which his debt was contracted.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips decided that a case had been
made out which would prevent him from granting protec-
tion, the result of which would be that the creditor would
lose the 151. a year offered by the insolvent.
Mr. Cooke hoped the obstinacy of one creditor would not
be allowed to injure all the creditors. • liberal offer had
been made which the court could a'nept for the creditors.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips laid it down as a regulation,
that when a ease was made out under the act, he had no
powers to allow it to be bought off by an offer. He bad been
enzions for all parties that the offer should have been ac-
cepted. It had, however, been refused, and now all the
creditors would lees the benefit. He regretted the result
for all parties. His Honour refused to name a day for the
Muleteer, end proteedes was withheld.
