Damning. a carter in the employ of Mr. Treby. of Drury brie, was
tiscovered lying on the marl, near the toll-rate, next the flrean-
pox Hospital with his head fractured, and both hi legs broten.
from tite wheels of a can having passed over them. The cart and
horses were found at some distance. The watchman met him about
half-an-hour helm. going to shoot a bad of Licht rubbish, atd he
must have been on his return when the accident happened, as the
tart was empty. M'in. Colton, the constable. mewed assistance,
and had Mat rrmovcd, but he died in a few minutes aitcr.

I informed you before that the Catholic prisoners, tried for ti.e
murders at Innivemore, were found guilty of manslaughter.. At
Inc present adpummen. the Catholic prisoners. tried for the rime,
were found guilty. The Protestant traverser, (nos withstaading the
wrecking of the houses of the Catholics of Innishomee, and the
*gating at and pounding the Cad. 1i5..3) were 0r.:9 tuJ
were ar,lidi ltd. The Jurors were excluvively Orangemen., Never,
perhapii, were there any trials of as touch or of equal importance to
the Catholics of this county.
It was proved b;; a respectable witness that one of the traverser%
(John I'ye) had fired the shot that wourdetl Laurence HIP oin la
the thigh. It Nat also proved that a manor the name of Betty wts
dangerous!! wounded by a shot from Kenny's pariy ; he prove! .t
himself,. end dint three awistratei of this county had, Mier r -
pea ted applications, refused to take the witness's fomentation'
This fact, so vitally important to the admipistration of justice, the
Lames; Judge has taken a tome of, and of this still more interest-
ing fact he has judicial knowledge. Art,e Laurepce Hannan bad
ken examined as a witness. and was staking his way from the
Comesal tads, ha was hustled by a party of Lsobedsw Peelers (Dot
the hest scpprebeediee of the asessousescre) and momelted abase c.a
view of the Court. A few minutes after, on his 'arrival in the
street, in the presence of Counsellor Holliston, he received a snort
desperate blow on the bact of the neck from an Orangeman of tho
name of 31'Creary. As soon as the fact was made known, C,our.-
senor Kernan communicated it to the Court, and had illtollM3ti.ol.
prepared and sworn to ih"the Court against the offender—the had no
difficulty In escaping.)
The bra-Sis inlet- denied the charge, sad said he hod Eften
witnesses to prove the contrary.
Mr. Juetice Moonr—" Talk not to me, Sir, of your &lees
witnesses 1 in the progress of these trials I have seen enough or
that ; I saw the li..stling in the (:butt myself; I saw the rush bent
the galleries; if, Sir, yr,:se Constabularr force be not suffis sent to
protect the administration of justice, t) know not how long. S.r,
the Bench itself will continue sak) call cut the passe commitecto,
of the county, and if that be not sufficient. Sir, (said the Jud;e
with great warmth and indignation) I shall all out the military:—
The proper conduct of the High Sheriffprevents me from imposing
such a fine upon you as this abominable transaction merits."
