distance off). he saw a mail to an adjoining field,
walking in the direction towards hint; there was
a small bush between them, about initlersy, they
beinga at has find •baervation of the man, about
.• forty yards asunder; and the matt seemed trying
'to vary his direction. SO as still to keep between

horse ; Mr. Ryan, however, after two or three at-
-tempts of this knit!, had an opportunity of seeing
the man, whom he is autiafied to he the Poisoner

ward on utic knee, and minding the gun straight
out before him with both hands, but did not ap-
ply it to his shoulder, nor take rim in the usual

at the body of Mr. 14E11, and they were then at
the distance of about fifteen yards asunder; after
firing, the Prisoner retreated in an oblique direc-
tion, appearing to be charging the gun as lie pro-
ceeded. The witness gillopperl off on the by-
road until lie came to its junction with the high
road, thinking to head the l'nsere►; and eppri.
bend him. Cunniegham had by this time come
out of Butler's house, and Hyatt called to him to
come on, which lie did, and the Prisoner ran from
him back to a ditch, on which the witness turned,
and gallopped back, when he saw the Prisoner,
accompanied by another man, reloading the gun ;
one of them was raminirig down the cartridge; and
the Prisoner said in Irish words tantamount to
"he is coming." One of the two men (but in his
confusiou he could nut ascertain which) rushed for-
ward towards Mr. Hyatt, who giallopped off toward■
the high road. As Cunnings•nut was coming on,
nearly by the place where Mr. Ryan had been
fired at, one of the two men called to hint to stop,
and presented the gull ut hint two or three times.

hesitatingly in iticiitifyitis the person who had fired

and is rated at a few shillings for some small
tithes on the books fur several years back, during
which he never paid any thing, nor was any thing

To some questions limn the Court, he said, that
the person whom he bad formerly employed refus-
ing to serve the tithe processes at this time, lie was
obliged to make use of Cunningham, who had been
one of the valuators, but who lived at a distance of
several miles from the place ; and the witness was
obliged to go with him. in order to ,hew him the
houses of the persons to be served; 11'nllirm Boiler,
in whose house the Prisoner was taken, had threat-
ened so be revenged an the witness ; on recognizing
the • Prisoner, Mr. Byrd desired one of the dra-
goons to lake great care of him, as lie was a rely
active fellow,.

John Cunningham swore that he was employed
by Mr. Ryan on the OCCa %ion above soured ; that
I.e went with him on the 18th of Mardi to Mac-
reary, to serve processes, and d one at the house
of Wm. Butler : on coming out he saw the smoke,
■nd Kurd the noise of a shot, and saw two men go-
ing from the place; at that moment he did not see

diately after he saw. Mr. Ryan there, who called to
Cunningham to come on, which he did ; shortly
after the shot lie saw two men running along the
side of the ditch loin the place where the shot was
tired ; one of them Ind • short gun in his baud,
and presented it at Cunningham.
On his cross-examination by Mr. Moo•z, he
crount.ll for not seeing Mr. Ryall vernier by the

" You are very like the man that shot me, and look
like a rogue ;" and after that, that Mr. Riall
charged hill► in direct terms, " You are the luau,"
&e. &e.
Mr. Ryall was then called up, and being con•
fronted with the woman. p.vatively contradicted
