COUNTY TIPPERARY SPRING ASSIZES.

CLoNmr.t,, MAttetr 28.—The Assizes of this county
commenced on Tinn.sddy last, March 25. The Commis-
si.in Court was opened by 00' Baron O'Grady as eleven
o'clock, who charged the Grand Jury (of which the Hon.
Francis A. Pattie, M.P., was Foreman,) at some length,
on their important duties, and congratureed them on their
being adequate to the performance. After the Learned
Judge had remarked on the appalling st rte of clime in this
cmmty, he concluded his eloquent and peculiarly forcible
address, by telling the Magistrates, that if they do ntit
rvr-
press crime theg must be reformed,—that filling the gaol
is not duly administering the law, and th at one contufc.
(ion, me/ten it meets the public mind, does more good for -
the public safety of the peace than the acquittal of two
persons.
Some minor cases of little or no interest occupied the
Coot t the remainder of the day, as also on Friday. Satur-
day 'sentence of death was recorded against three unfor-
tunate men, for the breaking and tiring into a house. It
w•is one of those 501 up cases which has been the ruin
and disgrace of- this county. It appeared on trial, that
two were taken in the house after the breaking in of- the
door by the police, who had received private inthrotati.in,s,
and concealed themselves convenient to the house ; the third •
man was taken in his own house, on the information of
ene of the inmates, who had asserted he saw him amongst
the gang. When the Jury returned their verdict, the two -
former prisoners claimed the attention of the Court, boost
acknowledged their guilt, and declared in the most post,
tive manlier as to the innocence of the latter; one even
appealed to Chief Constable Wilcocks to the truth of this,
and stat,d the informer was the man who laid the snare.
and brought them into it.
Though the'calendar is heavy, yet it is not marked
with any of those savage and bloodthirsty crimes. which .
have for the last few years characterized this county. •
The Record Court was opened at twelve o'clock .on
Thursday, by Judge Torrens. Some appeal cases, with
three records, occupied the Court up to Saturday evening; •
they were not, save one, of importance, which called forth
Mr. Shell's eloquence; he was happy, and his speech elicited
much as..iplause. This distinguished orator is still the fa-
vourite hi re with all, and is employed on every case o
interest He is obliged to leave town to-morrow for Gal-
way, where he is retained specially.
