Denims, Juna 12.
There is no end of legal quibbling in the case of
the state convicts. Two of them have communicated
their intentions to government of refusing to accept
the commutation of transportation for life, on the
alleged ground of the incapacity of the executive to
reduce the punishment incurred by them. They say,
forsooth, they tuust receive either death or pardon,
knowing very well that their lives will not be taken.
The Freeman's Journal poblishes the following
letters from Mr. O'Donohne :
" Richmond Gaol. Monday, June 11,1649.
" Drat 812,—1 have addressed the lever, of which the
isuclAed is a copy, to the government official, therein named,
on this evening, and hays earnestly to request your insertion
of it in your paper of to morrow.
I am, dear air, yours moss faithfully and very gratefully,
" PATRICE. O'DONONt7I."
The enclosed letter is as follows :
Richmond Gaol, Dublin, June 11, 1849.
TO HIS RICRLIANCY TER LORD LINUTENANT, Till ATTOR-
NEY OINIRAL TOR IIILAND, T. N. RIDINOTON, AND W.

ISQRS.
Mt LORD AND SlRC—Lest any lattice should be con-
strued into en acquiescence in the sentence of transportation
for life, communicated to me by your Excellency, I respect-
lolly beg to inform youtbat I am not &consenting party to such
sentence being carried into execution ; the same being, as I
have been advised by eminent timbal, unconstitutional and
contrary to law.
I am, my lord and sire, your obedient servant,
PATRICK O'Doirosvg.
Mr. Meagher also hes forwarded letters to the same
effect to the same quarters.
Up to last night no orders bad been received at
Richmond Bridewell in reference to the removal of
the state prisoner*.
The body of the lamented surgeon, Carmichael, has
not yet been found. He is greatly lamented, and is a
heavy loss, not only to his friends, but to the faculty
of this city. Some of his works are standard authori-
ties with the profession. He wrote a very valuable
essay on the diseases of literary men, containing
much judicious observation.

clear and dialed in he terms. I should have thought
that there was no cue who wan not *were of the act of par-
liament which hes been passed, and the whole machinery of
this ease and jour conduct from beginning to end in it, tend
tothe belief that you were aware that it wagon illegal transit
tion. If money ought to be paid to a person for • cadetship,
why should it no be given to the individual who obtains it in
the first place? And fur that reason I thick it is imposeible to
believe that you were not aware of the native of the affair in
which you were engaged. The court has had more than one
ease like the present before them lately, and it is
our bounden duty to pus • severe sentence,
in order to deter others from committing a
similar offence. Yoe, Kendall, received the 1,000/. ; and
the jury have found that you were concerned in the whole
mottle. With respect to you, Mr. Bickley, you appear to
have come into the transaction at a later period ; but you,
as an attorney, could not fail to know the nature of the
transaction in which yell were engaged. You do not appear
to have received any money yourself ; but having been em-
ployed to extricate Mrs. Bias from the difficulty into which
she had fallen by the 1,0001. being first received by Kendall,
it was your duty to have advised ter to have nothing more
to do wi,h the money. You, Mrs. Minks, seem to have been
engaged in the matter from the commencement; and you,
Mrs Lialey, were implicated in the first transaction only.
The court, taking the whole circumstances of the case into con-
sideration, the sentence is that you, W. Richard Creed Ken-
dall, be imprisoned in the Queen's Prison for the space of one
year, and pay a fine of 10001. to her Majesty, and be kept
in prison until that fine be psia. The court sentences you,
Maris Minks, to be imprisoned in the Queen's Prison fcr the
space of one year; and you, Vi aet Lists'', for 6 calendar
months; and you, Ocorge Bickley, (or the space of one year;
and the reason that the court does not inflict • fine in your
ease is, that you are not shown to have received any of the
money pail by Mr. Moors for the presentation to the ca-
detahip.
