Three men, of the names of P. Byrne. E. Breen,
and J. Corey, were then pnt on their trial, for the
• murder of Robert Itickaby, }ate a steward to Earl
Firtwilham, at Mahon.
It appeared that the demised was found in the
month of February, 1817, in a wood, on his way
home from a fair, with his throat cut, and several
slabs, as from a bayonet, in his head.
Itickaby, son of the deceased, swore
elifit one of the Prisoners had threatened to be rr-
%mimed of his lather, in consequence of his having
accused him and others or having been concerned
in robbing the deceased's office some days previous
to that.

Jane ltol►iason swore, that she, in company with
another girl. went into the wood to meet mime per.
son; that witness, seeing deceased coming along
the path, retired behind some hashes: that the
tl►ree Prisoners, with whom sl►e was well acquaint.
ed, followed deceased. and having caught hold of
his arms and thrown him down. one of them leaped
on him with his knees, while the others nutird Iris
neckcloth, and one of them took out a large knife,
with which hr cot the throat of the deceased ; they
afterwards subbed him with some instrument like a
bayonet, dragged him towards a well, and having
looked on the body, weut away.
This witness, on her cross-examination, acknow-
ledged that her conduct throughout life had not
been of the most upright character. and that her
only reason for having now given information
against the Prisoner, after a lapse of two years,
was, giber conscience made her uneasy."

The other girl not appearing to corroborate her
testitnony. Mr. Haigh, Agent to Lord Fitzwilliain.
swore that lie did not believe, from what be hail
heard of her character, that she was entitled to tee-
(lit ; and having given the prisoners • good cha-
racter, and no other material evidence being
brooghtiliward against them, the JUDGE charged
the Jury to be cautions how they consigned to an
untimely death three tt•en, on the uncorroborated
testimony of each a person. end at the same time
warmly commended Mr. SCOTT, the Cmatirel for
the prosecution, and also the Gentleman who, at his
own expense, attempted to bring this horrid murder
to light ; and it appearing that, although rec•sed
of obis murder before last Assize►, and at liberty,
the Prisoner■ had not absconded,

The Jury acquitted them without leaving the
