CLARE COUNTY.

Thomas Macnamara was recalled this morning, and
examined further as to the kidnapping of voters. Wit-
ness was employed by the sitting members' agents to stop
all the voters he could lay hands on coining into Ennis.
He had a party of the boys with him. All the voters that
would not promiso to vote for Sir T. Fitzgerald and C.
O'Brien they carried off, and shut up, but the others
were well treated, and had something to drink. Witness
paid for some of the drink, and S. Green (an agent of
the sitting members) paid for the rest.
Cross-examined—Witness was employed to canvass
for Mr. O'Brien. By canvassing witness understood
that he was to try and induce and force people to vote
for Mr. O'Brien, and if they refused, to give them drink,
and prevent them voting at all.

SLIGO.
The case for the petitioners was this morning con-
cluded, and the learned counsel proceeded to sum up.

METCALFE COMPANY.

The annexed memorandum from the Metcalfe Com-

Extract of Captain Lean's Report to the Metcalfe Com-

pany, dated the 9th May.
" Job's-hill.—The winze sinking in the bottom of the
shallow edit, No. 1 still continues to improve. The
lode is 44 feet wide, half of which is good saving work. Wo
have sunk 2 fathom 2 feet.
" I expected we should have cut the lode in the edit be-
neath before this, but the cross course has thrown it out
of its regular bearing and greatly disordered the ground.
We have six English miners working three spells, day and
night, at this work, in order that no time may be lost in
accomplishing the desired object.
" The drift on No. 3 lode looks well, especially towards
the bottom. This warrants success at a deeper level, which
we intend to be at immediately. We have driven 5 fathoms
3 feet in ore ground by means of three English miners and
three natives day and night, and have raised some three
tons of copper ore.
"At Job's-hill east a considerable change has taken
place: The ground has become hard and spare for driving.
We have not intersected the lode yet, but there are indi-
cations now and then.
" At Pembroke we have found the lode on the opposite
side of the stream since my last. It is 30 feet wide, com-
posed of gossan, blue and red sandstone, carbonate of lime,

,laying
out of the drift, and cutting and making galleries inside
the hill. A sufficient stream flows from No. 3 lode for
this purpose.
" The miners who had been employed before my arrival
wore inexperienced, and driving out of the lodes into sand-
stones lost their way and came to a stand. lat once saw
their error, and began as soon as possible to work my way
back, which lam happy to say has proved successful. In-
stead now of going underground and finding only sand-
stone, we can raise large rocks of rich copper ore:'
