SPEC /IL COMAIISSIJN AT SLIGO,

FOR TUE TRIAL OF INSURGLNTS.

‘

ON Wednesday the 3d instant the Judges (Right
Hon. Chief Justice DOWNES and the Hon. Baron
GEORGE) arrived at Sligo.
'On Friday morning, at ten o'clock, the Court
met ptirsuant to adjournment, when John 'Do-1

nough and !Vilna' nt Carney were •put" upon their

trials. There were four indite mmtsi the hr: t for bur=
glary in, the dwelling-house of Peter O'Neil, on
the night of the 2d of September la.t, at the
Windy-gap, near the town of Sligo.; the second

indie-trn- eni was for robbing O'Neil in his Etweltin,,,--
home ; the tnird indi&unent was -founde.:l on this

White Boy Aft, for breaking into the Prosecutor's
house, between sutset and sun-rise, iissaulting and
injuring- the .hoase; forcibly' taking
_money and

causing it to-be delivered to them by threats—the
fourth indiament was (founded on the Riot. A&
of the 27th of His-present Majesty's reigii) for
providing 'an instrument- of torture; and therewith
infli&ing torture on the Prosecutor, to induce hird
to join the unlawfhl confederacy of « Thrashem"
These'indiamerits Were opened by the ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

Peter O'Neill was then sworn—he said, that on
the night laid in the indiaments, between one and
two o'clock, his house was attacked by a riotous
party, consisting of about 26 or 27 ; that two of

diem came' to-his door and broke it in,- forced

him naked out of his bed, and demanded money

from him ; that he having ;cur a tenpenny'piece,
and his wife another, they forced" him naked out

. •
of his house, where the whole .party .got round
him, carried him some distance from the house,

.and having made him promiie•to• send mOney next
day to an house they namc-.1, they then carded
his naked back' with a' wnol-card, and lacerated

his back in a barbarous and inhuman Manner that
one of them struck him with the butt of `a gun on
the small of the back; and broke one olhis l4hort

ribs ;
.that the party then Went away, and the Pro-

secutor returned immediately to his house, put on
his clothes, and, followed the party ; after tracing
them 'from house to house he returned to his own.
[He here identified the two Prisoners as those who
entered his house.]
Ori hii Cross-examination (by Mr. BAITER, Coun-
sel for the Prisoners), it was 'endeavoured to bo
shewn that rewards' had been offered by the. fi\lagi-
strates of the County forintbrmation against and'tbr
the apprehension of insurgems of this description,
and that such rewards had influenced the present
Prosecution.

Mary O'Neill, the wife, and James
,O'Neill, the
son of the Prosecutor, were also produced and sworn,
and -they -fully corroborated the'Prosectuor Peter lu
every particular and material , fat% and severally
identified the Prisoners, as having seen them .at the
house.. On The part of the Prosecutio:), -
Thomas Soden, Esq. Sovereign of Sligo, proved,
that having .heard of the attack on the Prosecutor,
and that the Prosecutor was in ,the-town of 'Sligo,
he called on him, and required him to give informa-
tion on oath as to' the transaaion in ilucstinn. At
first-the Prosecutor hesitated ,as •to giving informa-

tion ; but 'Air.. Soden' hiving insisted that the Prose-
,cutor should give evidence. on oath, and Mr. S.
having prepared a summons to compel the Prose-
cutor to.do so, he at length submitted and gave in-
formation on oath ;:iinst the Prisoners andothers,
in. consequence which the Prisoners were,appre-
hended.—Mr. Soden arso proved that no reWards
were offered till long after the infoimations were
, given ; and this fad was, Confirmed by John Irwin,
Esq.',another Magistrate, vho. swore that the re-
wards were not ()tiered till the th or (26th of Sep,,
tember ;
_and. Upon inspetaidn. Of the informations, it,
appeared that they'Were sworn on the sth Sept.
On the Defence, both Prisoners produced four

Witnesses, who proved that. their houses were visit( d
on the same ny,ht as O'Neill's:, by pales of
6

Thrashers, .with white shirts on their bCA iii, aiki
white bands on their
.hat's ; that ' money- was de-
manded at each house, ,and the ' assailing parties
consisted of between (..'ci and 30 ; and the Witnesses
all concurred in' swearing that they did :ot see the
Prisoners among the mob. On. the cross-examina-
tion, they.admitted that they had not Seen the faces
Of all the insurgents assembled ;. and two of them
mentioned having.. seen the Prisoner, WPonough,
armed with a gun, on the evening in question, on
the road near the Prosecutor's honse. Tliere was
then produced .for M‘Donough, his brother-in- '
law, of the name of Gilmore, who swore that the .
. Prisoner, M'Donough, reinliined in,-his horse the
wbble night in question ; and that he, the Witness,
being ill on that night, removed into the Prisoner's
bed—but did not sleep .Ilie whole night, and that
Was the only night he had ever slept with the Pri-
soner. [This Witness appeared much embarrassed,o
and was obliged to have water .brought for his re-
freshment before he could proceed in his evidence.].
Two Witnesses were tht4; produced on b&lalf of •
'the Prisoner gamey, to prove an 'alibi. The first
witness, Mary Maims, swore that she was A setup-
stress, employed in the Prisoner's house at that time;
that im the day, in queStion Prisoner's child ryas sick,
and she attended it, and was kept awake all night,
and that in tonsequence she 'knew and could swear
that Prisoner never left his house on that night.—
Winifre.ti Magary, the second• witness, swore, that
on the night in question she and her husband quar-
relled (as they had often done before), and for :ear
of a flogging she quitted her house and went to the
Prisoner's, where she reinained all night ; and she
swore that the Prisoner never left his house that
night.—On her cross--eutnination she-stated, that
she had never slept in Prisoner's house on any other
occasion. . •
Here the loRD CHIEF JUSTICE recapitulated the
evidence, observing (as 'he proceeded) on the filets, •
and pointing out, with precision and clearness,,the*
contradiaions and inconsistencies in the transac-
tion ; and, upon ttie whole, his Lordship told the
Jury, if they had any rational doubt on. the trans-
action, • they should acquit—but if they were sa-
tisfied .of the guilt of the PriSoners, ' they should
conviet.—The Jiiry having . retired for about au
hour, 'returned and, asked the Judges if they courd
acquit one prisoner and find the other guilty ? and
Mr. Baron GEORGE having told them that there was
no law 'to prevent, them from acquitting either bi-
both of the Prisoners, or finding either or both of
them guilty ; and that, in fact, the whole Lase Was
within the discretion of the Jury - the Jury retired
for a few minutes,' and rvtiarned with a veraiiit ot,=-.

ESCOTT AND WIFE V. BROWNE.

Mr. GARROW,, for the Plaintiffs', -stat&i, that the

for :the%interference of the ,Defendant's s,vife,'WhO

, SirYIc,ARY.GIBBs, on the part orthe Defendant,
propo,ed, that a Juror should be ~withdrawn and the

BROCK V. KENT AND CO.

This was• an action of trover, to recover back' a
quantity of household furniture boUght by fir: Plain-
tiff, but which the Defendants had coiavert,•'. to their
own use. •

GARROW said, that his client, Mr, Brock, was
a respectable merchant in 'the and that the •De,,
fendants were upholsterers: So:ne time since the
Plaintiff took..a large .:'onse in one of the primcill
streets of London, and employed the .Defi.",.;..nts -to
furnishit, which they did, .to :the a gait. of
0f,5001. Soon afterwards, Mr. Brock determined to
relinquish. house-keeping, and.ret.;rot into chamber's.
in the Temple, where not .heing able to make-use
of all 4tis, furniture, he placed it under the care'of
Messrs. Kent and Co. After the Piaintiff had lived in
chaMbers aboutsa month, he made a: proposal to. the
Defendants to purchase the goods beiongitr- to him
In their. hands, and•he wished to know what- they
would give biin for that furniture, whkh originally
cost him 2001. Mr. Brock was wry:much fiurprised
when be received an answer, stating that the utmost
they would allow him. would be 051 -Of course .the
Plaintiff reje6te,d the:proposal ; and•semernoatifs af-
terwards, intending again tip fOrnish a house, he re-
quired Messts. Kept and Co—to return the furniture
he had left with them. He was answered, that they
bad no furniture of his, that the .Plaintiff had sold it
to them, and having resold it, they could not restore
it. This suit .;.y,as commenced therefore to compel
the goods. to be given up to the Plaintiff.
On the, evidence of the first witness called, it ap
peared that a complete sale had. taken place between
Mr. Brock . and Messrs. Kent and Co, and the Plain-
tiff was nonsuited.

ROBBERY,—About a week since it was discovered
at the Post Office that several letters had been robbed
of their contents, and it was strongly suspected the
robbery was committed at Brandbn, in Suffolk ; a
BoW-Street Officer was sent by Mr. PARKINS SOliti •
tor to the Post Office, to discover the offender. The
Officer, after many.inquiries, examined the writing
of the Post-master, and his son, a youth about 15
years of age, who assisted him in the'Post Office;,
when it was discovered that the boy's writing cor-
responded with the forged endorsement Upon a Bill
of Exchange for IE4: which had passed through the.
Brandon Post Office. The person 'purporting- to
have endorsed it denied its being his hand-writing.
The boy at length confessed he had stolen a number
of letters, w?th their contents, and among them was
the above Bill of Exchange, and acknowledged hay,
ing forged the several endorsements. Ho stated,
that he took it out of a mis-sent letter going'from
Yorkshire to Lynn, and that a short time since,
when •he• was taking about 4001. for, hiS father to
the Banker's at Mary St. Edm'und's, he took out of
the money 151. id Country Bank Notes, and put in.
the above Bill of Exchange.
It came out that the boy -bad written a, letter.to
the bankers, at SWaffham, enclosing a Bill of Ex-,
ehange for 151. addressed to them in a very familiar
style, and requesting them to cash the bill, as he did,
not like to trust the bankers in that neiahbournood,
and signed the letter G. Nelthorpe, the name of a
respectable Gentleman who 'formerly lived in that
neighbourhood.. The bankers at • Swaffhain soon
discovered the forgery, and went to Brandon,' and
informed the buy's father of •the circumstance. In
order to, dis Cover the culprit, it :was agreed to 4;7
dress a letter to G. Nelthorpe, to be left at the Post
Office, Brandon ; and when the letter was called for,
to have the party, apprehended. A constable was in
waiting at his father's house at the time the boy
made the confession.. •

Thb boy further, acknowledges, that about a
month sinc, when there were ore enquiries re
spcaing; sorne letters that. had been-stolen, he burnt
all he was then in possession of, as well as' he Bank-
notes. It drks not appear that be had any :lc:corn=
pikes, or that ho • iviis addiaed to any vices. His
father is' a very respe&able man. The boy, is now
lodged in Bury Gaol, tO.take hiS ;trial at the ensuing:
Assizes. '•

• , It is now thOtaglit that the boy who was some
days since tern by the bear; near the 'Circus, is, in a
•
fair way of recovery. • .
. , . A
singular race took place on Thursday morning
between four
,ch4rme,us of Canterbury foria wager
of five guineas, who, carried their chairs, each con—
taining three half-hundred weights, frOm the Star
Inn to the Toll-gate on `,the Dover. road., and back
again, a distance of tWo miles, which they went in.,
forty minutes ; the winners, Boyle and Munday, .
beating tLeir antagonists a very short distance. , :

If any one man has ever- been more successful
than another, it is Dr. Solomon, who has brought
his e'ordial Bohn -of Gilead to- such perfethon that it
never fails removing the wo,rst and most crabbed
disorder- of the nerves. It always exhilirates and.
-cheers the spirits, brices invigorates the whole
frame. Such a fvledicine; for. its rwaling, balsamic,
friendly, and -sanative qualifies upon the debilitated
Constitution, deserves the, wondrous encouragement
it'meets with from: all ranks who have been fortu-
nate enough to have recourse to it. It is peculiarly
efficacious in all inward .wastings, loss of.appetite,
indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling or shah-
ing_of the hands or limbs, obstinate coughs', short-
