DOWN CONSTABULARY.

On Wednesilay an Adjourned 31,etiott of Magistrates I
took plart at Downpatrick--47 present. The Marquis of
Down hir: was called to the Clair at one o'clock, and pro-
moted to eta Coulburti's reply to a remonstrance ,
sued ti ia Dllb'T Of Magistrates at their first tneeting.
following is the r...21y
" Dublin Castle, Aug. 18. 1821
" 31r Loa —I have received the Lott)Lieutenant Lieutenants command.
to acknowledge the rscLipt of the Memorial which your Lonliihip
bas done me the honour of transmittiag to me. expressing, for the
reamer therein mated, the opinion of the 31agistrates, whose signs.
tuna it bears, that it is not advisable to extend to the county of
Down the operation of the Act passed in the third year of hi.
present Makesty, for the appointment of Constables in Ireland.
and requesting his Excellency to reconsider the decision which he
had announced by Proclamation, of applying it to that county.
" The Lord Lieutenant apprehends that the Magistrates have
much misunderstood the nature and objects of the law, from the
operation of which they seek to be exempted. That Act was he'.
tt•er intended, por is it calculated, to inflict punishment of any dc.
scr:ption on three districts to which it may be applied. Where
disturbance hail prevailed, the planetoid aim of the Act was to
afford 110• the Magistracy the means of restoring and prciervaig
public trinquillity, by a due enforcement of the ordinary adminis-
tration of justice and law.
" In districts which had been free from disturbtrice, the
cation of the Act was Intended to secure the continuance of peace
and :pod order, by the same salutary means.
The Act his been applied to many districts. net less free from
disturbance than the county of Down ; and the Magistrates of those
s riots have amply acknowledged its advantages, after full experi.l
ea
e of its operation.
• • The state of the county of Down, therefore, does not form any ,
exception to the general policy of extending the provisions of the
Act to that county.
•• It is as remote from his Excellency's intention as from the
spirit of the Act, to punish, or to disgrace, any part of Ireland, to
which the law has been, or may be applied ; and, considering the
extension oldie law throughout Ireland to be conformable to the
great objects contemplated by the wisdom of the Legislature, and
to be essential to the maintenance of a general and uniform system
ut good order in Ireland, the Lord Lieutenant trusts, that the re-
spectable Magistrates who signed this Memorial will co-operate in
aiding his. Majesty's Government to establish, in the county of
Down, • regulation already in force, with such beneficial effect.
tnroughout the greater portion of Ireland.
" I hare the honour to be, my Lord,
" Your most obedient humble i•ervinit,
" HENRY GOULBURN.

" To the Marquis of Downshire, &c. &c."
After the reading of this letter, which, of course, was
decisive of the subject, Major D'Arcy, Inspector of the
Police of the Province of Ulster, submitted his proposed
allocation of the Police Establishment over the County,
made out by himself without reference to any Magistrate,
which was adopted. As many of the present Barony Con-
stables. as can read and write, are of good character, and
within the age, will be continued on the New Police
Establishment.

Lord Rodcn having been called to the Chair, the usual
vote of thanks to the Noble Marquis was passed, and the
Meeting dissolved at half-past three o'clock.

I Vollingbourn, the constable, stated, tbot he with hls brother
officers, observed the two prisoners with • gang .of thirty, or forty
' whet reputed thieves, busily engaged in " drawing," the pockets
of the people standing about the shows. He saw krampton in the
act of takings silk handkerchia f from the pocket of a gentleman,
and hand it over to one of his companions. Ile secured the two
prisoners as being the most active of the gang ; but the gentleman,
who did not know lie had been robbed, went away, and had not
attire been heard of.

The Jury found the prisoners Gnilty, and the Court sentenced
them to be transported for seven yeses.
Jmeph Ilarrbegioa and Janes Parker were indicted for steal-
ing, at lAmbeth, a paddle and a set of harness, value 51., the pro.
perty of Miss Deborah Smith.
'r he constable who apprehended the prisoners deposed. that he

which, on examination, he found to contain a saddle and harness;
the prisoners endeavoured to make their escape, when he pursued
.nd succeeded in taking them. It was about six o'clock in the
mornings/hen he lint saw them.
II The coachman to Miss Smith deposed, that he had frequently
seen the prisoners near his mistress's house at Stockwell ; on the
I night that her property was stolen, the coach-house door was
broken open. lie saw the property with the constable, and knew
it to be his mistress's.

The prisoners, in their defence, stared, that they had been asked
to earn a trifle" by carrying the basket fur a stranger, and 'they
agreed to do it.
They were found Realty, and having been frequently sent to
Brixton a. reputed thieves, were sentenced to be transported for
seven yearn.
CAMBERWELL AND PECKHAM FAIRS.
The Grand Jury having found sundry true bUls against several
persons fee riot and disorderly conduct and theft at the fairs of
Camberwell and Peckham, the Chairman, J. SCRIVILS, Esq. ad-
deemed them, anti observed
" Gentlemen—The Court is desirous of bringing the subject of
those lairs that are held in your neighbourhood before your parti- I
cular notice. and it requests that you will live them your serious
attention. The instances of disturbances and illegal conduct have
become very numerous, and the Court suggests to you the pro-
priety of declaring them, in your presentment, to be both public
nuisances, it you shall, on mature deliberation, consider them to bej
places where vice and immorality are generally practised, places
anti scenes from which no beneficial effects can result, and by no
means partaking of the character of the old fairs, which were origi.
nally established as marts the the disposal of articles of labour,
cattle, &c. and the fruits of industry, but not tot the idle, the
wicked and the disorderly to assemble there. The Court, Gentle-
men. I again observe, beg to call your attention to this subject."
The Grand Jury subsequently returned into Court, and gave in
their presentment, in which they stated that they hall taken into
consideration the subject of the fairs held at PerkhamUnd Cam-
berweil, and intliziAttiaily considend that they were places of ion-1
morality and vice.
The presiding Magistrate mid, that individually did not mean
the Grand Jury.
The Foreman of the Grand Jury replied, that the Grand Jury
consisted of 18 gentlemen, 15 of whom, with the Foreman, were
agreed in the above opinion, but two gentlemen had dissented.
The Magistrate then observed, that the declaration had better be
made as the opinion of !` the untiereigiiedJurors;" as it now stood
it could not be a presentment of the betty.
This having been done, and the Grand Jury having terminated
their labours. they were formally discharged.
Hannah Kelly and Catherine Kelly were indicted, the one for
stealing, and the other for receiving, certain articles to the value of
10s.. the property of Mathew Shepherd, Esq.
Mr. Shepherd deposed, that Hannah Kelly resided with him as
his servant, and left him in January last. On the 9th or 10th of
this month he heard that some articles of his had been seen in the
possession of the woman ; he obtained a search warrant, and ex.
amined her box, in which- he found several things belonging to
himself, his wife, and his brother. He then went with an officer to
the house of the sister, Catherine Kelly, where he saw upon the
floor some carpeting that had been his property; Ile found also
several other articled that belorrd to him. The carpeting was
missed during the time flannel% Kelly was in his Janice, and he
stated his suspicions to her.
Benjsmin G. Hill, a canstehle of Union Hall, stated that be ac-
cotnpanied the prosecutor to the houses of the two prisoners, where
he discovered the articles in question.
The prisoner, Hannah Kelly, muted that as the carpeting was all
in pieces, and the Aim were all in riddles," she thought they
were of mouse to her master, and took the one for the people to
wipe their feet on, and the other to see if she could get little bits
out of them to make nightcaps a. Iler sister knew nothing at all
about the business.

Three or tour persona !poke to the characters of the prisoners for
housty • and the prosecutor informed the Court that tile employer
of the husband of Catherine Kelly had given him an excellent
character.

The Jury acquitted Catherine Kelly, and found Hannah Kelly
Guilty.
The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy, on the
ground that she wu extremely ignorant, and he believed it was her
tirst offence.

The CHAIRMAN. in passing sentence on theprisoner, commented
on the clime of a servant robbing a master, the protector of whose
property she ought to be ; and on the necessity of holding out a
warning to those whn held such places of trust. She was then sen-
tenced to transportation for seven years.
George Thompson Was indicted for stealing the sum of 6s. from
a woman of the name of lilary Smith, in a booth at Peckham fair.
The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentences to a month's con-
finement in the House of Correction at Brixton.

William Bransby stood indicted with feloniously stealing a
quantity of wonted, the property or James Beagle and John
Fitch.
.‘lr. BARN WELL addressed the Jury, and said the prosecutors
were very extensive worsted manufacturers, and a number of pau-
pers were employed by them. Of late great depredations had been
connniled on the stock. On the With July last the prosecutors'
premises were entered, by tearing up the iron grating of the area.
On examining the stock, he found a conaiderable quantity of
worsted had been stolen. On the :Id of August suspicion attached
to the prisoner, who has subsequently cohabited with a common
prostitute. The prisoner's lodgings were searched, and under
some coals in the cupboard, was found some worsted ; he called
J. Beagle. one of the prosecutors, whose evidence corresponded
with the statement of the Learned Counsel, and identified the
property.
George Massey, constable, proved taking the isoner into
custody, and fintEng the property in a house in Queen-street,
Borough.
Mr. Tussstautt contended the prosecutors failed to make out
their case, in as much as they had not proved that the primmer
occupied the house, or any soartment in the house; the room
where the prapery as; foi al belonged to the female whom the
prisoner visited.
The Co t:IIT over-retied the objection. but
The Jury returned a verdict et Nor Guilty,.
