ORANGE PROCESSION AT BANbON.

One man was killed, and • woman, for adraocei in
pregnancy, shot through the heart! At the present Assizes
of Cork, two of the Orentemest were indicted fee -the
murders; but owing to Ike circumstance of the riot and tu-
mult being general, the capital charge could sot be supporn t-
ed, and they were found guilty of llanslaughte► only. Oii
kloodsy these men were brought up to receive sent►nce,
when Baron Smith, who presided, delivered the following
judgment:—

the Jury, adopting the °photos of the Court ups., she law,

NEW YORK GENERAL SESSIONS, Wawa 14.

THE PEOPLE P. JOSIAH WILSON.

Mann and David Graham, Associate Counsel,
with Maxwell. District Attorney, fur the prosecu-
tion; Wtilimn M. Prier, Counsel for Drfendaiii.
This case, which excited considelable interest,
was in substance as follows

The Defendant, Mr. Wilson, keeps • hat store
at No. 160 Broadway. and is the gentleman to whom
our citizens are indebted lot reducing the price of
ordinary tine lists, within I par or two jillSt. The
complainant, Mr. Gardner, is also a hatter, and au-
pernitendent of the establishment of Benedict and
Clarke. in Chatham-street. A hop, who had for.
overly lived with Benedict and Clarke, without be-
ing indented, applied to Mr. IV.lion, a few days
before the fracas, to procure emplt patent, allrgiog
that he had left the employ of Bruedict and Clarke
at the request of Ins parents, who would not con.
sent to his going with them out of the state. This
hity having been presiourly recommended to dr.
Wilson by a gentleman of the trade, he ►eceived
liiinferithout scruple or hesit.►tton.
It appeared in testimony. that a general aseetiag
of the master hatters took place at Tanstuany-
hall, on the evening of the I6th July la 4, which
Gardner attended, although not a master hatter.

they thought it eaptaist to put him mit dike
mum. When the committee hod fiidshed tlesiehime,
Moeo, and were tearing the lair, Ourettatiothhi
had waited at the outer door, followed
ttcrs wit.
cm to the steps, where he renewed his a ash
threatening language ad oiesseciag Resent. IVO
son coolly sieltrised him to desist, and go asishoolho
business ; but this only seemed- to esasiOld. Min
the more, and he continued walking by she side of
iVilson, goadisig his right side with his elbow until
the latter fouod himself compelled, in iselfolt:firoce.
to deter him by a blow, which was inflicted with
his left hand. Gardner immediately closed with
Wilson, and a scuffle ensued, which resulted iii
Wilson's falling with his head against the iron rail-
ing, which produced a contusion that bled profusely.
Stunned and bewildered by tins shock, Wilson lay
at the mercy of his opponent for several seconds
before he could recover his recollection ; when
he grasped at the face of Gardner with his
baud, at the same time securing between his teeth,
the finger that was attempting to deprive him of on
eye. In the course of the scuffle Wilson turned
his antagonist, still retaining 1... finger in his
mouth. Gardner cried out, "He is biting !"
The spectators now partially succeeded in se-
parating the parties, and Wilson entreated the
by-staiiders to take Gardner away from him,
as he, Wilson, was not only averse to making
himself a blackguard by fighting in the stretil.'
but that he was an invalid, and too weak
and debilitated to maintain so unequal a contest.
They Were at length separated, and Wilson at-
tempted to make good his retreat, but was pursued
by Gardner with the cry of '6 Stop thief !" In
crossing the street, Wilson received a fall, which
severely bruised him in several parts of his body.
He was taken up by two gentlemen, and conveyed
to a grocery store, where lie was refused admission
as a lugitive thief, until some one recognised him
mod called him by his name. Gardner pursued him
into ihe store and made several new attempts to
assault him, after he left it. The cry of " Watch!
Watch !" however, on the part of Wilson, Gustily
Jelieved him from his 'wisdom, and he was con-
ducted house by his friends.
-r• Boih parties were indicted for *smelt and bat-
tery, and by consent of Counsel both trials took
place at the same time, and before the same Jury.
The foregoing is the substance of Wilson's testi-
miniy. which was amply corroborated by L. W.
Benedict. Robert Hatch, Mr. %Vella, and Doctor
Cognac—the two last were on the part of
Geederk.

On the other hind, Mr. Gardner swore that it
was toot his intention to provoke a tight with Wil-
son; that lie had never previously said that he
meant to go to that meeting and insult %Yawn
that Wilson struck the hist blow, upon which he,
Gardner. clenched him, rid they rinse down to-
gether ; that Wilups bit the middle finger of his
right hand very severely, and attempted to bite
his nose utl, which he only prevented by suddeuly
jerking hack his head, but not without losing R
little skits Goon each sidei where the. prima of
teeth were left ; and that Wilson had -turned Imo,
and was on the top of him when he did-io.
On being crow-examined, however, ambler
admitted that the boy. no question was not actually
an appoentice to Benedict and Clorke, but only
employed 'll them, and that he went to 'Nat-
many Hall with the express deteroninat. of tel-
ling %Volum, that " it war raiocelly conduct in
I to harbour the boy." .•
On being questioned a: to the cry of " Stop
thief!" he swore that he did snot hear lily of the
people cry "Stop thief !" Thr question was 'bolo
put iet a more direct alsape, but was overruled toy
the Court, as we enures is I:unlimited to anewer
questiortthut may cellulosic himself,, or insulter
himself in a civil proreciatimi.
Mr. Welk swore that Wilson told hits that Goo e-
ver had solitetted him twice before lie rrtylwtcd ;
that he itreek hire vinleootly with his elbow oar his
aide ; and Aro. tin defend himself, Wilson struck
