SPECIAL COMMISSION IN TIPPE-

RARY

On Monday we announced that the Judges appointed
to preside were to go down on Saturday next, in order to
Open the Commission at Clonmel on the following Monday.
All the requisite preliminary arrangements had been made.
The Hon. F. A. Prittie, High Sheriff of Tipperary, had
issued the necessary notices to the Grand and Petit Jurors,
to be in attendance at ten o'clock on Monday morning.
The issuing of this Commission has been for a consider-
able time determined upon by the Government ; and we
understand that the naming of the day was only delayed
until the informations for the prosecution of the persons
charged with the murder of Mr. Cooper were considered
by the law officers of the Crown to be in a fit state to pro-
ceed to trial. It was only on last Thursday that the infor-
mations in this case were deemed sufficiently satisfactory ;
and, accordingly, on the afternoon of that day, the Com-
mission was issued for the 7th of January.
We have now to announce that the opening of the Com-

mission has been postponed from the 7th to the 14th
January. There are, we understand, two causes for this
delay—first, the holding of the January Quarter Sessions
in the meantime ; and, secondly, the necessity of complet-
ing the informations in one of the most important cases set
down for trial. The additional time thus gained will ena-
ble the prosecutors for the Crown so to perfect their ar-
rangements, that all the persons charged with the more
heinous crimes may be placed upon trial during the Com-
mission, and thus the principal object of this most impor-
tant proceeding may be carried into effect much more
extensively and with much better effect.—Dublin Evening
Post.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEC. 31.

ACCOMMODATION DILLS.
An insolvent, named Wm. Rees Knevett, who had formerly
been a Lieutenant in the 11th Regiment of Light Dragoons,
came up for juegment. In this case the debts were large ;
they were stated in the schedule at 63,5141. Of this sum
63,2651. ls. 6d. was " without consideration."
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER inquired of the insol-
vent in what manner he had incurred the mass of debts ? The
insolvent said he had drawn a number of bills for Lord Edward
Thynne.
CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Oh, they are his bills, are they ?
( A laugh.)
The Learned COMMISSIONER asked him if there was any
other person be had obliged with his name? The insolvent
mentioned Mr. Duncombe.
CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Oh, Mr. Duncombe as well 1 In-
solvent—Yes, Sir. —( Another laugh.) He added he believed
Mr. Duncombe's bills had been settled.
CHIEF COMMISSIONER—SO your debts are 0n1y,387/. ; but,
with these bills, amount to no less than 63,5141. I suppose
you got nothing ? Insolvent—l got 201., which was paid me
by the agent of Lord Edward Thynne.
CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Pray how often did that come round?
Insolvent—Only once, Sir.
CHIEF COMMISSIONER—I see you have put down that 201.,
and also a gift of 401. from Mr. Duncombe. Insolvent—l
hare, Sir.
The insolvent was asked about his wife's income of 250/. a
year, over which he had no control. In his balance•sheet ap-
peared the gift from Mr. T. S. Duncombe.
He was discharged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HA7'TON-GARDEN.

Yesterday a young man, of sallow complexion, with mus-
tachios, and wearing a pilot coat, who represented himself as
a medical student, residing at No. 53, Torrington-square, was
placed at the bar, before Messrs. BENETT and BURRELL,
charged with outrage and assault. The office was crowded
with the friends of the prisoner.
John Kent, a lad, 18 years of age, being sworn, stated that
on Sunday evening last, about half-past seven o'clock, he was
standing in the company of his brother in Cleveland-street,
Fitzroy-square, when the prisoner, with two other persons,
came up and knocked off his hat with a stick, and when he
was about to pick up the hat the prisoner again struck him.
Prisoner then picked complainant up, and said, " Oh,
dear Sir, I hope I have not hurt you." Witness threatened
to give him in charge, when he repeated his violence, on
which several persons came to witness's assistance, when the
prisoner ran off, but was stopped and taken to the station-
house.

The Magistrate severely censured the prisoner, and con-
victed him in the penalty of 51., or two months' imprisonment.
The prisoner, with nonchalance paid the Si., and claimed
the sword• stick, which was restored to him, and' he quitted
the office with his friends. He gave his name Alexander Smith,
which was said to be assumed.
