LANDED PROPERTY IN IRELAND,

The ATTORNEY GENERAL for Ireland then
rose to move for leave to bring in a bill to facilitate
the improvement of landed property in Ireland, and
claimed the indulgence of the house for a short time
while he explained the object of the measure. He had
received great assistance from many eminent men
who had considered this important subject, and hoped
the bill would be found practical, if it did not prove
eminently successful. Shortly after he entered Parlia-
ment, Mr. S. Crawford brought this subject first before
the notice of the house, and though he differed with
many .f the plans which that honourable gentleman
propounded, he could not help feeling that the prc.
minence which this question had obtained, was in some
measure due thim. At all events, it was his perseverance
and assiduity which induced him to turn his earnest and
deliberate attention to the subject, and if anything come
of his study he should be prepared to give much of the
credit ta. Mr. Crawford himself. (Hear, hear.) The
late Sir Robert Peel, just before his death, pronounced
an opinion that a brilliant future was open to Ireland, if
the laws of landlord and tenant could be placed upon
improved and sound basis. (Hear, hear.)
[LEFT SPEAKING.]

APPEARANCE OP ME. • ROEBUCK IN THE HOUSE.—
This evening the hon. and learned member for Sheffield
entered the house shortly after its sitting, and took the
oaths along with several other hon. members. He
looked much better than when last seen in public, but
there was a lack of that energy and activity in his man-
ner which characterised him during the greater part of
ast session.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
ACHILLI V. NEWEL&N.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)

Sir Alexander Cockburn then moved for a rule to show

cause why a new trial should not be granted in this case
on the ground of misdirection, of the verdict being
against evidence, and of the exclusion of evidence.

The Attorney-General said he thought his learned
friend was out of order in moving for a new trial now.
Such an application ought to have been made within the
first four days of term.
Lord Campbell said that it was never too late for jus-
tice to be done. In the present case the Court would
overrule the objection, but it was most desirable to main-
tain the rules of Court, and all applications in future
must be made within the usual time.

Sir A. Cockburn then proceeded to comment on all
the charges brought against Dr. Achilli, on all of which,
except the 19th, the jury had pronounced him innocent.
The learned counsel relied most particularly on the case
of the woman Principe, who deposed that Dr. Achilli had
had criminal intercourse with her in the sacristy of a
church at Naples. All these charges, he contended,
were proved most satisfactorily, and none but the twelve
gentlemen in the box could have refused to credit them.
It was evident that there existed a strong religious bias
in the minds of the jury—(applause in the gallery)—
and he firmly believed that in consequence of that
justice had not been done. With regard to the misdi-
rection, he rested that upon the fact that the Lord
Chief-Justice, who had tried the case, had directed
the jury to receive the judgment of the Inquisition
put in by the defence, simply as evidence of the fact that
such a judgment had been pronounced, but not as any
evidence of the facts on which the judgment was alleged
to have been pronounced. The allegation of exclusion
of evidence he grounded upon the exclusion by the Lord
Chief-Justice of the article in the Dublin Review, con-
taining the same libel as that which was the subject of
the present prosecution, and published a year and a half
before it.

The Court having consulted together,
Lord Campbell said the- learned counsel might take a
rule nisi, on the ground of the verdict being against evi-
dence only.

Rule nisi accordingly.

This announcement was received with applause from
the galleries. Dr. Newman, during the whole of the
proceedings, sat under his counsel, and appeared to be
engaged in reading the "Office."
