Yo cx o IRELAND'S REYoNSTRA NC E.—We yesterrlcy men-
tioned that several of the Young Ireland party had pre-
sented themselves at Conciliation Ilall, and were refused
admittance. The Secretary to the late meeting of that body
thus details, in a communication to Saunders's Sews Letter,
the object of the deputation
A deputation from the committee of the Remonstrant Repealers of
Dublin were appointed to present this day their respectlul remon-
strance to the Association. These gentlemen were first opposed at
the door, their cards were declared of no avail to their admissioe, the
sum required of •• stratum's" was proffered and rejected. The
honourable member far Kilkenny was asked to come forth to hear the
Madness of the deputation—all in vain. One of the members of the
deputation war, however, admitted (doubtleat inadeertentis ) and ho
placed the remonstrance, duly endorsed, and a ith the original list of
signatures, in the hinds of the chairman, Mr. I lackett. It was signed
by 74 repeal wardens including several volunteers, upwurils of 300
mcmbers(payetsof annually), and 1,000 enrolled associates.

CHARGE OP EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST A SHERIPP.—I
stated a few days since that a public charity in Kilkenny
bad been defrauded of 10,0001. The following proceedings
at our police-offices yesterday, will serve to explain the ease:
COLLEGE-STREET.—W. Grace, H.q., sheriff of the city of
Kilkenny, was brought before the bench on a warrant
which had been issued upon informations lodged by J.
Hackett, Esq., Mayor of Kilkenny, on a charge of "haring
fraudulently and feloniously forged several powers of attor-
ney, by fixing thereto, without the concurrence of the
trustees of the charities, of J. Evans, Esq., or any of them,,
the seal of the said trustees, by which he obtained 9,0001.
and upwards, in the city of Dublin, and converted it to his
own use."—Mr. Hamilton attended for the prosecution, and
Mr. Lawless for the prisoner.—Mr. Hamilton stated that
Mr. Grace was charged with the forgery of documents
which were then in the custody of the Bank of Ire-
land, but which formed part of the evidence to be ad-
duced for the prosecution; wherefore it became neces-
sary to apply for a postponement of the case in order to
obtain them. Did his worship think the informations
already. sworn sufficient to act on ?—Mr. Tyndall : They are
insufficient. Is Mr. Grace aware of the charge which is made
against him ?—Mr. Lawless: He has not procured a copy of
the informations. We know no tru.re than what is stated in
the warrant. If there be no objection to it, I would be very
glad to have a copy of the informations.—Mr. Tyndall : At
this stage I do not think we could grant them. Ile is
charged with forging documents by which he obtained
money at the bank.—Mr. Lawless : I never knew of infor-
mations being refused at any time when applied for on be-
half of the accused. We are entitled now to have the pro-
secutor examined.—Mr. Tyndall : They are not prepsred to
go into their case.—Mr. Hamilton said he could not take
ourn„ehi'Zolf toatioconns consent to Vire. accused receiving recLiivdinifhaeot mire
would not urge his demand upon the bench now,
but it was his opinion that the accused was entitled to
what he asked for; and therefore, with the permission
of their worships, he woeld, at a later !.art of the day,
apply to know whether, after consideration, they could grant
copiesof the informations. He desired that as early a day might
be fixed as possible. The accused had been brought up from
Kilkenny, where he could have obtained any amount of bail;
the prosecutors might have had all their arrangements com-
pleted by this, and any delay would e .tme very bard upon
Mr. Grace.—Mr. Hamilton: We would not have brought
him up if we could have compelled the Bank of Ireland to
produce the documents—Mr. Lawless : This case is particu-
-1 arlyy hard, that a gentleman of his respectability should be
brought away from his business. This matter has r.ot come
on the opposite side by surprise. They have had Mr. Grace
in custody for the last fortnight, and surely they ought to be
prepared with all their preliminary arrangements.--It was
then arranged that the case should be further heard on
Wednesday.
COMM restos/ COURT, Ynts DAY.—(Beforo the Chi, f Baron
and Judge Burton.)—R. D. Brown, Esq., M.P. for Mayo,
a'. William Thos. Kelly Esq., Solicitor.—ln this case tho
defendant was indicted for an assault on the hon. member
for Mayo, and when the case was called on, Mr. !icily said
he was sorry fur what had occurred. He had committed the
assault under excited feelings and without justification, and
he was very sorry for it, and he trusted this apology would
be taken. Mr. O'Hea, as counsel for Brown, said that gen-
tleman had no vindictive feelings to gratify, and he was satis-
fied with the apology.

PROVINCIAL.
LANCASMRE.

ILLrIBTRATIONS OF THE GAME-LAWS.—Onll(llday last,
at the Warrington petty sessions, John Hunt and James
Hunt, of Widnes, were charged with having set certain
instruments for destroying game on land in the occupation of
It. Johnson, at Widnes. Neither of the parties appeared.
Liptrot, gamekeeper to Sir lt. Brooke, Bart., said that ho
found three gins on the land, two of which were upset. lie
secreted himself in a ditch, and after a time the two partite
charged with the offence came and looked at them, and
reset the two which were imperfect. Ile was quite certain
as to their identity. They were fined 6/. each, with costs,
and in default to be imprisoned for three months.—A second
information charged them with having pursued game, on
the before-named day, without having • certifiecte. Not
being ?intent to give the rucesoiry proof, they were again.
fined 5/. and coats, or three months imprisonment in default
of payment, to commence at the termination of the first
period ; the chairman remarking that this would not pre-
vent their being proceeded against afterwards by the sur-
veyor of face., fur the penalty of 201. for the latter otfence.
As proof (says the ikinehester Gunreiteli) if any were re-
quired, of the utter ini tficiency of these vindictive laws to
prevent the offence, it may be stated that one of the parties
charged has been convicted five times for similar offinces,
and the other four times—in each case having either paid
the penalty or suffered imprisonment —Another ease is re
ported by the same paper. On Sunday morning week, as
G. Berry, gamekeeper to Mr. Garnett, of Quernmore Park,
and two assistants, were inspecting the covers, they saw at
come distance five men armed with bludgeons, and having
with them several dogs and hare nets. They set out in
pursuit, but Berry outstripped his colleagues, and came up
with the poachers alone, and attempted to obtain possession
of the nets, on which the whole gang fell upon him, and
beat him so severely about the head, before his companions
arrived, that for sometime serious consequences were appre-
hended. None of the poachers have been captured.
