CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

At the sitting of the Court on Saturday,
Mr. BLACKSURNI applied on behalf of John
Nonni Russell, Esq. for ■ conditional order fur
liberty to file • criminal information against Wm.
Taylor. Esq. High Sheriff of Limerick. Mr.
Illackhartie grounded In. application on an affidavit
of r. Russe!l's, which stated, that on the 24th Julie
lie (Mr. R.) was examined before a Select Commit-
tee of the Hoare of Commons on the subject of
the kcal taxation of Limerick, and wits asked on
that occasion, amongst other questions, if he knew
Mr. Taylor. the High Sheriff of Limerick ? that be
replied lie was acquainted with Mr. Taylor in his
official capacity as Sheriff. That being questioned
as to a trial which had taken place in Limerick be-
tween the inhabitants of that city and the Corpo-
ration. Mr. Russell deposed. that the late William
Russell, Esq. Ins relation, and several respectable
gentlemen who were on the Jury who tried that
cause, complained of the paitial and unfair conduct
of the thru Sheriff on that occasion, when the Jury
were kept lucked up for nearly two days and a
night, until they had agreed In a verdict ; were
denied a glows of water, and one of them was re-
fused his great coat sera him by his family; while
Mr. Taylor, who was on that Jury, and who was the
only one of the twelve that held out in favour of the
Corporation, was accommodated with refreshment
and whatever lie wanted. That shortly after this
event Mr. Taylor was presented by the Corporation
of Limerick with an address and his freedom iii a
gold bus, soul has since been elected Sheriff twice.
This exainittation before the House of Commons
was published la the s' Limerick Chronicle," and
Mr. Taylor to two letters published in that paper
on the subject of this examination, and the evidence
of Mr. Russell, called the latter gentleman a ca-
lumniator Nod liar, adding other opprobrious epi-
thets. upon which Mr. Russell consulted his friends
as to what steps lie should take to support his
clialacier ; and having determined in consequence
on appealing to the laws of Ina couniry for redress,
he proceeded to the office of ilw Limerick thro-
nick, uccompiiiied by his solicitor, and there saw
the manuocript article of sir. Taylor's. On his
return from the hronirle office he was informed
tint two lads, his (Mr. Russell%) sons, under the
•e.e of 18 years, had met Mr. Taylor iii the street,
when an usrasslt took place, for which Mr. Taylor
had sworn informations aLlainst the Inds, who had
given bail to abide their trial for that assault. Mr.
Russell said he regretted exceedingly that the as-
sink had hero committed, sod swore it was entirely
without him knowledge or coobew.
Conditional order granted.
