TWA, SEPTIIMIHRR 20.
With the exception of some odd showers we are proud to
say. the weather bits been very favourable to the harvest
since Monday, and in consequence of which the appearance
of the country has been much improved, while the bright
prospects which were just now held forth to the ,reedy
s:nrculators, un the danger of the crops, are completely ob-
scured by this sodden suarhine. There has been an im-
mense deal of good dune for the last three days. All the
villages were empty, and their inhabitants actively employed
in the fields, piling the swarths into Masks, while others
were taking home their corn. Whatever apprelsensions wove
before entertained, we think they way wow he safely set
aside. There has been even an alteration in the price of
provisions since Saturday, owing to the change. Should the
weather remain good fur one month, the hsrvest would be
Completely out of danger.—(Tnont Gazelle.)

The present week is very favourable fur the Is t , with
the exception ol a slight mist on Teeolll47, until near Iwo
o'clack in the afternoon, and some heavy rain rate day morn-
ing, which ceased before nine o'clock, the weather his been
as Ewe as could be expected at this seises. Having made
particular inquiries throsigh a large part of the country, we
f, el that no just cause of alarm had as yet existed, and that
where iodividual injury was sustained, it was swore attri-
butable to a want of proper caesium than to the weather.—
This day has been unfavourable from its eommeneetnent,
and still eontinucs raining at the hour of our going to press.

This was an ejectment on the title by the Land-

lease had dropped. The case was of rather an in.
teresting nature, and excited some iuterest. The
circumstances were shortly as follow :
Same pars ago a lease was made for two lives of the
lands of Jonestown; and John Boardman, one of those
listing died, the Laudkird alleged that Joseph Boardman,
the remaising life, was also dead, grounded oil a supposi-

This woe an actiou of travails tee the ease, r&
sultiug ferrat'theivretsening of the Cork end Wise
teiferd mail coach se the 7th June, 1890. The
Plaintiff lives at Youghal ; the Defendaut is pro-
wietor of the coach, and resides at Waterford.--e.
Damages were laid at 1,0001.
John Markham, swore.—Was an outside pumas.
ger on the coach coming the day in question from
Dutigaivon to IViderford; about two miles from
Dungsrvaii, coming down Cushcarn Hill, the roach
cv.frturtied; at top of hill, and before that spot one
of the wheel horses became restive, and the others
became uneasy ; ab.rtly after the coich rocked
much, and the driver called for assistasice from
pareugers to hold horses ; horses plunged sudden-
ly into the ditch and upset the coach ; there were
eight outside passengers mid driver and guard; four
inside, as he thinks ; there was luggage and a trunk
outside; five or ins passengers, including witness,
were taken up at Dungarvan ; when coach upsets
all the outside petoserigers were thrown off, melee
one named Power, who had previously jumped of/
when witness recovered from the fall, heard Pion,-
tiff cry out that his thigh was broken ; assisted in
getting hint upon a door fur removal to Danger-
van ; oo drag to the couch ; thinks such accident
could not happen if a drag were on the coach; every
hill afterwards the drag was used, and uo further
accident occurred. Before they came to the hill
st all, heard the driver say that the revive horse
ought not to have been • wheel horse; mid he was
.• good leader, but ought not to be at the wheel;
after the accident lie remained a wised horse.
Cross-examitied.—Travelled in that coach twins
M thrice before ; remembers coining down that lull
upon former occasions; is not positive, but thinks
he never saw the drag used there; thinks going
from Waterford to Dungarvan, the horses gesierellg
trotted up that hill ; has seen other horses nudely
mail-crouches gallop up steeper bills : coach was
overturned, but fell agaiust the hedge, and riAluird
afterwards; but for the hedge thir's it would hare
upset ; the accideut happelird before the steeper
part of the bill, nut fifty yards from the apex ; at
that period it was almost impossible to apply this
drag; attributes no blame to the driver, except the
*missies of the drag.
Arthur Quin, Esq. surgeon, sworn..—Practises
in Dungarvan; Plaintiff hart a compound fracture
of the left kg, simple fracture of the left thigh,
the left ankle dislocated, mid the right wrist dis-
located; remained at the hotel under care of wit•
nes* from the 7th June to the 26th August 1820;
sufferings very severe; was removed from Dun.
garvan by sea to Youglial ; thinks mild not well
travel by land ; *everyl of his family came to
Dungarvan to attend him; not likely ever to ere
cover entirely; went to Youghal to visit Plaintiff,
who had again in his own house broken his leg
at the original fracture; has not beeu paid by
Plaietilf, but Las been apologised will; thinks
if properly paid lie ought to receive forty or fifty
guineas.
Cress.eeamined.—While under cure, Plaintiff
complained of gout ; gout would be unfavourable
in his ease; heard from himself that the same leg
had before been broker' ; it was better than a week
after the mail coach accident before he discovered
the fracture of she thigh, although he knew immedi-
ately that some injury had beets sustained there;
by reason of the former accident Plaintiff's leg was
rather short ; is how about two inches still shorter;
considered this a very bad case, and at first scarcely
hoped for success.
Thomas Cooke, surgeon, it Yotsglial, sworn.—
Attended Plaintiff since he was removed to Youghal
until very lately ; is sure he can never recover
perfectly; cannot be so active a surveyor as for-
merly ; understood he was to receive 20/. fur at-
tention( e.
Cross•examined—The promise of 201. was made
after the commencement of this action ; thinks
Plaintiff is now in the employment of the Duke of
Devonshire; Plaintiff Ilan two farms, two or three
miles asunder; knows him about six years; never
knew him to practise surveying ; the greater part
of the attendance of witness was after the fracture*
which happened about four or five weeks after.
Plaintiff was brought to Youghal ; Plaintiff re-
sides at Youghal.
George Laurence, otherwise Phelan, swore—

before the descent becomes steep ; has often-
travelled that way ; going up that hill the crack
does not slacken its pare, from five and a half to
six miles au hour.
Cro,s-examined.—Thinks a drag unnecessary at

This ease stood over from the last Assize". post-
poned by the Prisoner, who stood charged with hav-
ing in his possession II forged copper-plate for im-
pressing the form of words used in it notes of the
Bank of Ireland. He also stood further charged
with the custody of a forged blank Batik of Ireland
note fur 11. found in his possession.
Mr. Robert Murphy, High Constable, proved
that, on the 19th of March last he proceeded to
the Prisoner's lodgings in Quay-lone, accompanied
by Mr. Watson arid Mr. Henry Ludlow. who had
been specially sent down from Dublin to investigate
this business. and Mr. lenses Sargent. Witness
perceived a desk in the front room, close to where
the Prisoner was at work engraving; himself, his
wife, and a child in her slims, were the only
persons theta in the room ; the desk was locked ;
witness asked Prisoner for the key, on which the
Prisoner's wife replied, it could not be had; wit-
ness told Prisoner it should be opened ; the Prisoner
then forced up the lid, when the search commenced;
the search continued some time without effect, until
witness found a letter addressed to the Prisoner by
a person of the name of Murphy, who, it appeared
afterwards, was his brother-in-law. peculiarly writ-
ten, and on • description of paper the same as that
used for the forged bank notes ; in the same desk,
and which Prisoner admitted to be ids, witness
found a forged copper-plate for striking off forged
11. notes of the Bank of Ireland ; on getting this,
the Prisoner appeared agitated ; his wile was quite
misruled ; snatched the plate out of witness's hand,
crying out to her husband. " Sure, Christopher, I
desired you not to leave this plate there," to which
he replied, "It cannot now be helped." It was
will► the greatest difficulty that witness could wrest
it out of the grasp of the Prisoner's wife; this plate
witness handed over to Mr. Ludlow, who marked
it; and on further search, in the same desk, witness
found paper cut to the size of notes, sonic of which
were damp as if ready for use.
On cross-examination, he said, that he never
heard any thing against O'Connor before.
Mr. Watson proved that he also was present on
the occasion ; searched the Prisoner's desk. acid
found therein two blank bank notes far 11. each,
apparently struck off the same plate, which witness
identified; witness asked the Prisoner how he came
by the plate and engravings; Prisoner merely re-
plied, that he Not the plane from a man ; but net.
titer told • name or gave any further account of the
plate or note*. On his cross-examination, he stated
that his rootn door was not dosed, and that sevensl
pawnbroker's tickets were found in Prisoner's room.
Mr. Henry Ludlow, of Dublin, identified the
forged plate as one he found in Prisoner's desk,
and handed to him by Murphy; and also corrobo-
rated the testimony of the witnesses clearly and gabs-
factorily, he having been present all the time.
Mr. Oldham, of the Bank of Ireland, engraver,
was examined. and proved that the plate was
forged and counterfeited, and also the blank notes
were- struck off that Irlate.—That the Prisoner had
beeu iu the service of the flank of Ireland as an
engraver for nearly five years, and employed by
Mr. Oldham as such, but that Prisoner left the
Batik in consequence of embarrassments—witness
also proved his striking off engravings from this
plate which corresponded exactly with those found
in his desk.
The Prisoner called no witnesses, nor did he in
imiy way account for having the forged plate and
firmed book notes.
Baron SMITH. who presided on this occasion,
charged the Jury at considerable length ; they re-
tired at about a quarter before five o'clock in the
evening, and remained in their Jury-room till 12
o'clock at night, alien they brought in a verdict of
deputed.

?WS Straits, by the Don, of Aberdeen, generally of • very
unfavourable nature, and stating the total loss of the lye
following ships, viz. Elisabeth of Aberdeen, Larkins of
Leith, Harmony, John, and Symmetry, of Htill—trews
mitred. The weather, in general, has been very bad, and the
ire diffeelt to penetrate, so much so, that few vessels have
been able to reach the usual fishing-grouads. The 67 ships
left by th. Dun are all accounted for, except the Henry of
Hull, nod the Friends of Looting, as follows:-4Y ships
clean, 10 with 1 GA each, 8 with 2 Ash each, 2 with 3 IA
each, 3 with 4 ash each, 4 with 5 deli each, and 16 with 6
lab each or upward'.

lower.

peered to be so improvement in the demand, and mires
were gersevally about 2a per cwt. lower. A parcel of very
good St. Domingo in bags brought 107 s. 6d. per cwt.
The B. P. SUGAR market was more heavy to-day, very
little having been sold except of good quality, the shew of
