IRELAND,

DUBLIN, Oct. 28.

Five most respectable looking persons were placed
in the dock of the Commission Court yesterday to
take their trial on a charge of robbery. Their names
are Arthur Robert Tisdall, Mize Tisdall, his wife,
Sarah Nesbitt, Margaret Cunningham, and Bedelia
French—Mrs. Tisdall's three sisters. There were
also arraigned with them two servants, named Mary
KellaghY and Catherine Kelly. The circumstances
of the case are very peculiar. The prosecutrix, Mrs.
Maria Buckland, came from New South Wales
(where her husband resides) to this country about
four months ago, and in the month of July she
took lodgings in Mr. Tisdall's house, 5, Ontario-
terrace, in the Rathmines township. She brought
with her an immense quantity of valuable pro-
perty—wearing
apparel, linen, &c., contained
in 13 trunks and packing-cases. She remained
at Mr. Tisdall's for six weeks, and during that
time she missed a quantity of goods, among
which were several silk dresses. On the Ist of
September she was obliged to go to London, and
then the female prisoners commenced a wholesale
plunder
of her effects. Her boxes were broken open,
and dresses, tablecloths, sheets, &c., carried off to
the pawnbroker's, while pieces of silk and satin were
consigned to two dressmakers, to be made into
robes for the plunderers. After 12 days Mrs. Buck-
land returned, and put the matter into the hands of
the detectives. On the officers proceeding with
Mrs. Buckland to search Mr. Tisdall's house, Mrs.
Tisdalini
ttienw number
the prosecutrix, struck her a dreadful
blow theface,be
and threw several things at her.
A of duplicates were found in the
houses of the prisoners, who lived near each other,
and the officers succeeded in recovering the greater
portion
of the stolen property—about £2OO worth.
The defence set up was that Mrs. Buckland had
either given the articles as presents to the female
prisoners, or in payment of an alleged debt. Judge
Keogh, in charging the jury, observed that the two
defences contradicted each other, and the stolen
property was too largo and valuable to support
he e
either no evidence against
Mr. Tisdall,
as were also the two
servants, who had only taken the goods to the pawn
offices by direction of their respective mistresses.
The four remaining female prisoners were found

with hard labour. They fainted on hearing the
sentence.
A Board of Trade inquiry into the circumstances
attending the loss of the ship Ganges, which was
wrecked near Cushendrin, en the Antrim coast, or.
the 18th of September, was commenced on Friday
at the Custom-house here. The Ganges was the
property of the Messrs. Martin of this city, and was
bound from Stranraer, in Scotland, to Quebec, in
ballast. While in Stranraer the crew became in-
subordinate and refused to sail in the vessel, alleging
that was not seaworthy. The captain (Mr.
Thomas she
Hoare) took them before the magis-
trates, who directed a survey of the vessel, which
proving satisfactory, they ordered the crew either to
proceed on their voyage or undergo 10 weeks' im-
prisonment. The Ganges sailed on the 12th of Sep-
tember and encountered very bad weather. At half
past 1 on the morning of the 18th the captain, who

position, and di-
torect satisfied
hem secondil f a
mate st o his cabin to take ahttle rest, having previously
a
watch, not to alter her course without consulting
him. That officer, however, at half-past 2, ordered
the crew to wear the ship, and in doing so she went
upon the rocks. The captain, awakened by the
shock, rushed on deck, and accused the second mate
and crew of having purposely destroyed her. lie
did everything possible to save the vessel, but the
sth se
crew disobeyed him and thought only of saving
their own effects. With the aid of the Coastguard
all got safely to shore. On Monday the members
of the Court, Mr. O'Donnell, police magistrate, and
Captains Robinson and Baker, announced that they
completely exonerated the captain, and the fault, if
there was any, rested with the second mate, who
was examined, and deposed that the statement of
the captain that he told him not to wear the ship
without calling him was fake ; the order the captain
gave him was not to stand to the southward of a
particular headland, which the captain pointed out
to him before going below. The wind veered to the
south, and in order to comply with the order it was
requisite to wear. The captain (who received a
high character for ability and steadiness from the
Messrs. Martin) contradicted this statement in toto.
The Court pronounced their decision yesterday,
acquitting the captain and suspending the second
mate's certificate for 6 months.
The Corporation yesterday granted a salary of
£lOO per annum to the city analyst, Dr. Cameron,
who is to hand over to the city treasurer whatever
fees he may receive from persons who employ bim
in his public capacity. The Lord Mayor was also
authorized to purchase food suspected to be adul-
terated, and to submit it to him for analyzation.
