GILWAY, APRIL 10.

. On Saturday tart an tniforitiimi; inale, named
Anthony Duly, was conveyed f our county gaol
under • strong military escort to the caole of Sea-
tin, within four miles of Loughrea, where lie •as
executed pursuant to sentence pa4sed on him at our
recent Assizes for being • Rubbonmin. There was
a vest concourse of the pe•ssntry witnessed this
Peeling scene, which we hope will mike • due
impression on their minds, and deter them from •
perpetration of those crimes which he hiss expi-
ated on the scaffold. The poor men sustained Ins
unhappy fate with the greatest fortitude and re-
. rignation.

Yesterday two onfortuntte wretches, named
Flaky and Lan'ley, victims to their own indiscre-
tion, and convicted of being Ribbonnien, departed
from our county gaol, accompanied by a strong
guard, on their way to Casileblakeney and Alias-
cragli, where they are to suffer—the former this day
nt Castl.-blakeney, and the latter on Wednesday, at
Ahascragli, pursuant to sentence. These users-
spry examples will, we trust, suppress insubordina-
tion, and shortly restore peace and tranquillity
throughout the county.

OLD BAILEY, MoNDAT, Aram 17.
......-

At nu early hour this morning • considerable
n•irotwr of persons assembled in the viciiii,y of the
Old Bailey Sessions House, but few were enabled
1.. r obtain admission. The necessary arragentento
!.,,r keeping the avenues to the Court open were,
r,s on Saturday, carried into effect by divisions of
constables stationed for the purpose. At half-past
r;glit the body of the Court was crowded to excess
by the Speciel Jurors, of whom there was the most
numerous attendance we ever recollect to have seen
i., a Court of Joiner, and the greatest difficulty
W:111 felt in providing even standing-room for them
I etore their mimes were called over. The galleries.
*ere but thinly attended in the early part of lb*,
clay. Several ladies were in Court.
At right o'clock the witnesses far the proseco-
t:on hegatt to arrive. Among them Adams, one of
the men who were arrested •t Cato-street, was
brought in the charge of Mr. Adkins, the Governor
of the Coldhath-firlds Priam), from that place of
confinement, and taken into the Lord Mayor's par.
,lopr, whence he was afterwards conducted upstairs,
:and there remained in the custody of proper
rfficers until wanted. Monument, who hid been
committed to the Tower, was conducted thence in
the custody of two Wardens, and Messrs. Ltivrii-
rle'r and Bishop, of the Bow-street establishment.
He was taken to the Grand Jury Room, and there
remained until the sitting of the Court.
• At trine o'clock the Lord Mayor took his seat on
she Broch. He was shortly after followed by the
Lord Chief Justice Abbott, Lord Chief Baron
Richards, Lord Chief Justice Dallas, Mr. J rimier
itirhartliton, the Common
.Serjeant, Aldermen Sir
Dimes Shaw, Sir It. Carr Glass, Sir Claudius S.
Hooter, Sir W. Leighton, and Christopher Smith.
Mr. Boyle, the Lord Justice Chill of Scotland,
wit nest Chief Justice Abbott.
As son,e as the Judges took their seats, Mr. Shel-
ton, the Clerk of Atraigns, then proceeded to call
e,ver the flames of the gentlemen summoned on
The Special Jury. ' While the tinmes were calling
ever, the Prisoner, ArtAut illietleteond, was put to
that bar, e lie was dressed as on Saturday, but more
kirproved in his appearance. He bowed to the
!Loon as lie.edvanced to the bar, and seemed snore
composed and collected in his demeanour then when
arraigned. lie held in his hand • pencil and a sheet of
;raper, which appeared to contain some memoranda,
eyd surveyed the Court and Jurors as they answered
cortheir uaines, with calm :Mention, mid without be.
poring either trepidation or particular anxiety.
'The whole manses and deportment of the wiforte-
nate Prisoner was characteristic of the respectable
stistion in life which he once filled. Each Gentle-
man summoned on the Jury, on being called, ass
urged whether he whs a freeholder or copyliolder iu
the county of Middlesex to the annual value of
70/..--.lllCil as were not, were excused. Some Gen-
tlemen were also excused on account of intirm
. beslth, deafness, and erroneous descriptions in the
•ommonser.
lo the course of the morning • Mr. G•iffin, who
is Secretary in the Committee for obtaining funds
for the Pi isoure's expenses ou the trial, and who
stood outside the dock, gave Thistlewood some
o•anges, which lie put in his pocket, but they were
• linost immediately taken out by order of Mr.
Browne, the keeper of Newgate, we presume for a
precautionary examination, and whets immediately
Niveri the Prisoner for them.
Exactly at twelve o'clock the calling over the
names of the Jiiry was concluded..
Thistlewood then addressed the Court —" My
Lords,msy l,be allowed the indulgence of a chair ?"
Chief Justice Cosibidrriug the length
to which the trial is likely to extend, the Court will
grant you that indulgence."
Thistlewooll thanked his Lordship, and took his
sett in the chair which was provided for him.
