DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE

THIS DAY.

The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock in the
Drawinz-room of the Speaker's late residence.
Mr. WRANGIIAM informed the Committee that Navin;, since
the adjournment on Saturday evening-, looked into the 'Acts of
Parliament regulating the assessment of Grand Jury cess in
those parts of the electoral district which are situated in the
county of Dublin, and having enquired into the circumstances
attending the Easter assessment for 1834, he did not feel him-
self warranted in occupying the time and attention of Hon.
Members, and he would not any longer be justified in pressing
the objections to the class of voters under this head.

The question of the municipality of the Wide-street tax wag
then gone into, and Mr. TIIESSIGER was speaking when < ur

EXECUTION OF ONE OF THE CHIP_
STEAD BURGLARS.-(THIS MORNING.)

Thii morning., a little after nine o'clock, the awful sebtence
of the law was carried into execution upon James Harlcy, alias
Hartlett, alias Ballchin, who was indicted with James Hill and
William Fisher, for a burglary, under aggravated circum-
stances, at the house of Mrs. Mary Ann Long, of Chipstead.
Fisher was acquitted by the Jury, but Hills and Harley were
ordered for execution. In consequence of Miller, the consta-
ble who apprehended Hills, concealing the fact from the Cor.rt
of the prisoner making a voluntary confession, whereby he'was
enabled to trace and capture Harley, the case has been. repre-
sented to Government ; and the consequence has been, that a
respite was sent to the gaol on Saturday night.
Owing to a misprint in the Sunday Papers, whic/., stated the
hour of suffering to be seven o'clock, a dense crowd had col-
lected long before that hour, many of whorr, expressed great
disappointment, when they fosrod that the .execution would not
take place until nine ; but several of thi*: group went to work,
and emptied the oockets of many ger.llemen.
The prisoner was attended, at P:n early hour, by the vener-
able Chaplain of the Gaol (thP Rev. W. Mann), but he had
been attende", during the night by several religious gentlemen
to where exhortations lie listened with passive, rather than
earn'o.st attention. As he was strongly suspected of having
b. 'knowledge df several murders, and even that he was a guilty
participator in them, it was hoped that he would make a con-
fession; but this he refused to do; yet he made his denials
with that apparent mental reservation, that he cannot be exone-
rated from the suspicion which rested upon him.
A little before nine o'clock the Sheriffs, attended by their
officers and the executioner, proceeded to the Chapel, where:
the hands of the prisoner were pinioned. During the night
and in the early part of the morning, the prisoner appeared to
be so debilitated that it was thought that he would require to be
carried to the platform ; but, strange to say, as his last mo-
ment approached, his physical power returned, so that he not
only walked through the avenues of the prison with a firm
step, but he even attempted to run up the staircase to the lodge
on which the scaffold was erected. When the rope was put
round his neck, he groaned loudly, and then responded to the
words of the Chaplain in a firm tone of voice. After a short.
interval the bolt was withdrawn, and, after some severe
gles, the malefactor ceased to live.

The prisoner was 32 years of age, and of an athletic snake
and well featured; but it appears that, during the whoh his
life, he has been a most desperate character, and
depredations at almost all the fairs that were Zimitted
/-ie).d in the
southern counties.

He was visited by his father yesterday, vbo expressed a
wish to have his body ; but the prisoner serAy

We are glad to find that the inh=;oltants of the counties of
Surrey and Sussex have entered irwo a liberal subscription, in
order to present Captain liank.n with a piece of plate ; as, by
his courageous resistance to att.ack, a desperate gang of seven
burglars, at the dwelling-bsuse of his aunt, he has been the
means of breaking 0 a,

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

James Duncan and George Fallon were indicted for a bur-
glary in the coach-office of the White Horse, Fetter-lane,
and stealing 301., contained in money parcels, which were to
have been forwarded to their respective addresses.
Fallon was employed in the office, and on the night of the '
March, he stole the key, and gave it to Duncan and another
boy, not yet in custody. He secreted himself in a coach, and
after the gates had been shut and all quiet, he got out, broke
open a padlock, and opened the door. He then broke open
the clerk's desk, and stole the parcels. He took them to the
boy not in custody, and got fivo shillings for his share then.
The money was not to be divided for a few days, till the in-
quiry had blown over. On being taken into custody, Fallon
gave a detailed account of all the circumstances.
Duncan said he was forced to break open the desk by Agar.
Fallon said he did not know what Duncan wanted with the
key when he got it for him.
Mr. Justice PATTISON charged the Jury. The charge
against the prisoners was " breaking and entering into the
dwelling-house." The evidence showed that there was nn
internal communication from the office into the house. He
would, therefore, recommend them to throw that part of the
case cut of their minds. There then remained the simple
larceny, of which they were to say who was guilty. He did
not see there was much difficulty with regard to Duncan.
They would consider whether the evidence was strong enough
to convict Fallon as an accessory before the fart.
After a few minutes consultation, the Jury returned a ver-
dict of Guilty against Duncan, and of Not Guilty agaiust
Fallon.

James Barnes was again indicted for stealing and em-
bezzling, on the 2d of March last, the various sums of 6s. 4d.,
2s. ad., and 4d., the property of his Majesty, which money
had come into his possession, in virtue of his office of President
in the Foreign Office, at the General Post Office.
Mr. SHEPHERD, Mr. ADOLPHUS, and Mr. SCA RLETT appeared
for the prosecution.
Mr. PRICE, Mr. C. PHILIPS, and Mr. BODKIN were for the
prisoner.

• Mr. W. Arrowsmith, Clerk in the Foreign-Office, had
been instructed to be particular in his transactions with the
prisoner, who was his superior officer. The Learned Judge
read over the witness' evidence as given by him on Saturday.
It was not usual for the President to receive money. When
a letter was put into the Foreign-Office by mistake, it was
taken by a messenger to the bag clerk along with the money,
but as the prisoner bad done so on the 2d March, witness was
on duty as window-clerk. The prisoner came to him about
five o'clock with three letters *which he said were going to the
Inland-Office, and required a postage of 6s. 4d., which was
given to him. He r' turned in five minutes with two news-
papers for the Mai".ritius and Madras, for which he demanded
and got 4d, Between seven and eight he came again for
2s. 2d., fr'l- a letter which was going to the Inland-Office.
The witness had not a letter for that amount, and referred him
to 'ate inspector of the bags. Witnes was present when the pri-
soner was in Mr. Peacock's office, and when he was asked
whether there were any letters in his drawer, and he said
" No." After being told that he must be searched, he said,
" Now that you ask me particularly, I recollect I have four or
five in my drawer." He was searched, and two letters were
found on his person.
Cross-examined by Mr. PRlCE—Witness expected to rise,
as was the custom of the office. As one President was re-
moved, he got a.step nearer to the Presidency. It did not:
require much skill or intelligence to tell up bundles of letters;
but on busy nights it required to be done with much expe.l3l-
- On such nights Mr. Barnes had assisted the junior
clerks, and in so doing had gone beyond his own duty.
Re-examined—Witness bad no hopes of an advanechent
from a conviction, of Mr. Barnes, for he was already re'aloved
from his situation, and his successor appointed.
Mr. James, a clerk in the Foreign-office. On the 2d March
the prisoner came to him for 2s. 6d. postage I.l,prin one letter
and two newspapers. He gave the money. The letter and
papers produced were those so brought by 'the prisoner. On
that day there was a letter addressed. to Tisdale, which
be put on the table, to go to the Inlar.d-office. The post/ ge
upon it was Bd.
Cross-examined by Mr. PIM a Ps—On the night of the 2d,
there were mails made up fel. Malta, India, &c., besides the
usual business of the office. Of course that would render the
office busier than usual. Witness put a letter and the money
on the table for a messenger to take, and thought he was
doing his duty. The President might have done the same
thing. It was the duty of any messenger who was passing to
take the letter to the tunnel. He did not know which of theta
took the letter he put down.
The witness was under examination when our Reporter left.

NEW COURT.
Theodore Channel and Philip Corh were indicted for break-
into the dairy of James M. Sturm, Esq., at Teddington, and.
stealing therefrom a quantity of pork, value 21.
It appeared from a lengthened examination of the police con-
stable who executed the warrant, and Mr. May, the Inspector,
that in consequence of information communicated by the pri-
soner Channel, the other prisoner Cork was taken into cus-
tody after a desperate resistance, and acknowledged, when the
warrant was read over to him that tie was guilty. The warrant
was not produced, and
The LEARNED REQORDER told the jury that there was no evi-
dence whatever against the prisoner Channel' ; on the contrary
. and there
he seemed to haw) bade a voluntary confession in consequerv,:e
of some expectßtion that he could not be prosecuted. The
other prisoner had made a confession of guilt, founded upon a
was arraigned for o.le wilful murder bf
warrant which had been read to him, but as that docUrnent was
