COURT OF JUSTICIARY.

Some time ago an action vas raised, at the in-
stance of lb* Majesty's Advocate. against several
jonrneynien papermakers, for entering into an ille-
gal combination or tmispiracy to compel their mas-
ters to raise their waoes. Au objection against the
relevancy of the libel buvitu been started by the
Counsel for the paunch', the Court ordered memo-
rials, and yesterday their Lordships, after having
maturely considered the case, and delivered their
opinions, pronounced an interlocutor, finding the
indictment not relevant as laid. The plume's were
therefore dismissed from the bar. The whole of
their Lordships were present. Lords Armi.dale
and Meadowbank supported the relevancy of the
libel, and with them the Lord Justice Clerk con-
curred in opinion ; while Lords Craig, Cullen, and
Herm:m.l, spoke against it. Their Lordship de-
livered their sentiments at great length, and in such
a manner as evinced tile deep attention they had
bestowed on a subject of sorb vast importance to
the interests of the community.

On the night of Tuesday last, a mast daring and
rather singular burglary was committed at the
house of Cahn-con. About ht e'airsek en the seivive
iii4lt, a beat under sail put id tit the quay, front
which CO men, well armed and apoidited, and at,-
der the command of a person whom this daring
banditti 'tiled Captain, landed and marched to the
front of the house ; they 1.,“..k‘e some of tha,witt-
(lows, and fired one of their pieces into the Ittniar;
which appears to have been loaded with ang..
They searched with the utmost care for arm, and
ammunition, and took with them every thing of
that sort which they met with. They entered an
office of Mr. Scott's, on a table in which lay his
account-books, and papers of different sorts—bus
what will appear almost incredible, on this very
table exposed, a quantity of bank note., and sonic
silver and gold specie, which the Captain would not
penult them to meiltVe with ; and 011 useeti.ss with
a quantity of spirit., they 'hewed not the least de-
sire to taste it, but in every instance evinced a de-
gree of rigid discipline and subordination that we
really know not how to account fur.—On quitting
the quay of Cithircon. they starred for the County
Limerick hanks of the Shannon. 111'. Menet was

The great annual fair of Hallinasloe commenced
the sth inst. Lord ilanearty, AS usual, up.aied his
Park at Garbolly the day before, to accommodate
the proprietors of sheep—.a greater number ap-
peared thun for many years. On Tuesday. the 4th.
00,000 sieve sold in the Park, and ou Welnesday,
the 6th, above itmoo in the Fair Green. making
together 01,174 ; not • single sheep remained un-
told. The price on Tuesday was about 10 per
cent. more than last year, and there war a consi-
dentbie advance the second day. There was •
striking improvement both in the form and condi-
tion of those animels, owing to judicious crossing
with new Leicester rams, which are in good de-
wand. a sufficient supple net having appeared at
the Fair.

On Theroday, the llorse Fair was full •—there
were few good ones, and these acre soon lxiught up
at high prices.
The Bullock Fair was on Friday : the exact
number we hare not been able as vet to ascertain :
the improvement iu their rogue, particularlt• of the
three-year olds, far surpasses all expel, tation ; the
price shave last year is supposed to eaceed twenty
pa mat.
