The last meeting of this patriotic Soc:oty wni nu-
merous and respeetable ; above twohundred Mem-
bers a.tended, most of whom dirktl with thv
Sock-
ty. In' the absence of the President and Vice Pre-
sident, Mr. WYNNR waa• tinammously called to. the
Chair. After 'dinner the "KiNG's health was drank
with enthusiasm, and tbllowed by etliviions of
loyalty which have cbaraaerised 'the Society froM
its commencement. The QUEEN,• the Prince of
WALES, awl Rota'. ,FAMILY, were afterwards se-
verally drank with the warmest expressions 'ot at-
tachment to their illustrious house.----Then followed
the hfialths of .Mr. FOsTER, PteSidellE,, the steady
and successful friend of the Agriculture of I relamt
The Marquis of St.i4o, Vice President, alid
of the Socie.ty,•and-the zealous promoter of ail its
objects.
.ThO Chairman then. gave, the different. Societies

4uned for the Advancement of learmina. The Duke
of BEOPORD, I.Ortil SOMERVILLE, trarl of EtIRE
ItIoNT, Sir J. SINCLAIR, Mr; Cox."B, and every.
Nobleman and Gentlernan who li 1,) boen publicly
distinguished as patrons of husatity, will several
other appropriate toasts. •
The greatest regularity and docorum were observ-
ed, and the evening was cheerfully spent in rational
conversation.

. • A few' days ago there was a. general. meeting, of.
the Society to receive the Report of the Committee,
and afteiyards to elea ,Otticerii , bad a Commit Lee
for the ensuing year. The. Report contained a
sketch of the'Transattions of the Society from its
first institution in 1800, and the state of its receipts
and disbursements to the sth • of,l3nuary, t so 7, the,
period to which the accounts are annually settled by
the Commis,ioners of irriprest-Accomns..

Preferring useful practice to uncertain:. 'theory,
the Society hace.endeavoured to carry into etfeet.
such discoveries as have succeeded in othericonatries,
rather than.engage in speculative persuits.. - At their'
suggestion,•Government have removed several 0b...
structions tothe importation of live stock, imple-
ments of husbandry, seed, cern, &c,-PerSuits skilled
in various branches of agriculture have been. induced
settle in this country, and to devote'their time to
the instruction of the,prasantry. --Sot the establish-
ment of an extensive .manufa6torrof farming imple-
ments- in Dublin, which originated in this Society,
and which promises to be of incalculable •telVaninge
to the agriculture of Ireland, may; be considered the
most important of • their labours. • The Commit-
tee concluded their. Report
,by resigning into the
hands of the Society-a trust which they had dis-
charged to the best of their abilities, hoping that
their successors 'might be enabled, by the cdUn-
tenet= .and patronage of Government„to continue
the efforts of the Society to-improve the ag-riceltura
of Ireland, upon which the resources of the country
in a great measure depended: • ,
Atter the Report was read a resolution of thanks.
•to the Committee, ler the very able and,disinterest-
ed manner in which they hadvendated the business
of the Society,. was carried ecrniue cantradicente; It
was next resolved, that .rt deputation should wait
upon his Grace the Duke of_AwitmoNo, to request,
that he would honeur time Society by becoming the
Patron.of it. 'The Right •Hon: FosTra was

Society • then proceeded to a ballot, at which.
Members veted,' when the' former Oonicnittee were.
re-etededi and two vacancies were titlei by the Earl
of ME-Are and OwFN WYNNE, Eig. The Tre..l-

among whom are many of the most public 'spirited
men in Ireland, who have .already contribotid above'
50001. in private • subscriptions, to carry intoetnct
the objects for ;which • they associated. 11r their
Meetings, the information given by persons residing

move local prejudice, to-diffuse knowledge, and to'
establish 8n intercourse between tbcise. who. -are

The competitors at the last meeting were. nume-

Wait these medical Gentlemen, the deposition of
the last was the most favourable to the Prisoner, as
tending to chew, that from defects in the internal
organization of the female frame, cases may occur
mutually, and give rise to mismanagement (espe-
cially wizen the. operator 'is .tinsktlful) which may.
lead to fatal consequences, In his opinion, the de-
plorable circumstances that ensued in the present
case, must have been 'partly createdlay. a temporary
insanity ;arising froM the discovery of the injury and
Mischief that had talhen place either from accident,
Pa t r: 11 causes, or the irifirinity cif mankind.
The Prisoner; in. liii,defence,, stated, that he had
aaed to the best' of his judgment. He called abuttt,
14 female 'Witnesses, all ef whom he had been in
the prattice of attending. - Six of them were only.
examined, it being thought sufficiently evident 'that

wilfully- injurious motives towards the unfortunate;

Lord 41.sts•t:,etiiiiSti having, with: great
~In'atice
and huirisriny, in,i,;e up his mind upon the case, bes
fige the eVidence was' concluded, -pot it to the Jury
. to say, whether or not it was necessary, in their
opinion, that he shoold.Adressi them upon die
taitijed. ? rhey.expressed,a,,desite to .hear bun, And
his LoidShip, accordingly • did so. : Lie observed,:
that although the Crime in the illdiOnieuL was
pharged as nitirdetlyot, in order to prove a crime
of that nature, it was 'necessary to shew that the
'Prisoner had. aaid Willfully and maliciously, ind
With malice Aforethought. This lre believed ',no
Person iu Court could, after what': they had Heard,
imagine the Prisoner.' bad been guilty of. Al-
'though, however,
.it iconic! 'not be deemed mur-
der yet a case might omit 'Where it might ' 6e

-even' that crime, it was necessary to `chew not only

-
grt;e of 'J111)1111 &IWO-W.O as would render a per-
toil Unfit rolie employed in that learned and useful

profession, and make hint a• ,eritilinal• in the eye -
of the law. Unless they could .deteat the Prisoner
in such a total• and gross want of skill, Or df culpa-
ble and criminal negligence, as should prevent him
from praatising that hazardous employment, he was
pot an zohjett of punishment.
The Learned ••r4lGu then animadverted, with
great. nicety and precision upon the evidence of the •
physicians and other medical men, an4ut it to the
frelings of the Jury, what would be, the consequence
• &Gentlemen in that learned profession were, upon
every ,oceasion where a dangerous but necessary ope-
ration failed of its wished-for success, to be brought
,before a Court of Justice indided as criminals ? If
such were to be the case, they- (the Jury), their
wives, and their families, [night be derived of that
medical assistance which even in desperate cases
might be the means of saving human existence.
The Jury, after a short consideration, acquitted the
Prisoner of the chitge of wilful or malicious miscon •
dud, by returning a verdiaol Not Guilty.
• ihulrew 1114 Gill, who was capitally convt&ed yes-
terday on a charge laid.in the count} of Middlesex,
was put to the bar, preparatory to his trial for a ca-
pital offence committed in the City of London.
He addressed a feW words to the Court, observing,
that as he knew, by the event of his trial yesterday,
his life was forfeited to the laws of his country,. he.
wished to save the time of the Court with Tesped to
the present case. His principal objet in this ad-
dress was to implore the Mercy oldie Court, not for
himself, but for the sake 'of hiS helpless children,
his family, and all that was dear tO'him on earth ; he
would therefore throw himself on -the mercy, of •the
Court. •

The REcoancu.—" Mr. I would ,liOt ad-
vise you to adopt such a course—l cannot advise-
you to withdraw the plea of Not Guilty, which you
originally put in, because, a, person standing in your
situation, perilous as it is, I think ought to submit
Ins case .to the opinion of a Jury because, lam
un-ler "the necessity of making a representation to
the.same etfea 'as if you', v. ere found guilty upon
another indiarnent if)* exped any benefit from
such a course,.you are mistaken, because, it is my
duty to represt on such occasion the truth, and
the whole truth, to His Majesty."
The Prisoner then bowed, and the trial proceeded.
The Indielment in this case, was fdr tel9niously
stealing, on the th cif Odober, a considerable quan-
-14 of weariag,ipparel, two watches, and four Bank
'of England notes for one pound each, laid in the In-
,diCtment as the koperty of John Edward Warton,
William Stawes, and other per;ons, in thedwelling-
house of "Samuel Holmes.

' After Mr. Ginitivt buted the outline of the ease
on the part of theinosecution:
Mr. S. Holmes, the first witness, stated, that he:
was the proprietor and housekeeper of the Whitt.
Horse, in Fetter-lane.
John Edward Warton.-;--Jc I am a waiter at the
White Horse in Fetter-Jane. I remember the. Pri-
soner coming there; it Was on the 30th of Septem-
ber, bet weer Live and six. in they evening.• He in-
quired for a bed ; a bed-room was, shewn him ; it
was No. 34„ on the second floor, and to the fronrof
the house. He did not bring his things then.; he
said he would send his truukt>, and have them put
in his bed-room. He appeared dressed as a Gentle.;
man. In the course 'Of an hour, a trunk and a port-
manteau- were,. brought, and put into the room,—
He kept that bed-roo n On. for six nights. • He:
used not to dine in the • house : his bill while he:.
was there came to fourteen shillings. I remember
the morning of the sth of OCtober. He breakfasted
that Morning in the coffee-room, as WWI. After
breakf?st, he went up stairs to his bed-room. He
remained above about Italian hour. He comedown
then with the trunk and portmanteau. He paid for his
breakfast, and went away. He called a porter, and
gave him the trunk and portmanteau. In about an
hour afterwards, I went up, in consequence of what
I .heard frotri)he bey. When I went up; I found I
had lost every thing I had:. it was taken out of my
trunk ; it lay in a small besl-room, No. 30 ; it
on the floor over the Prisoner's room.—(Here t,he
Witness enumerated the particulars of his 'loss;
.as coats, breeches, 4 waistcoats, 5 shirts, 9 neck-
cloths and handkerchiefs, e. pocket-handkerchiefs,
several pairs of silk and cotton stockings, and tour
11. Bank notes)--They were in the trunk, it was
never kept locked. I saw them about half an hour
before the Prisoner went up : I came out of ,the
room about half ..past eight ;. he went up stairs about
nine. The next day,' ,went with on Officer in par-
snit of him ; we founcl him at a public house, the
Portland Arm's, in Upper Berkeley-street. At the,
time he was apprehended, he had on a pair of black
ke.iseymerehreeehes, and a pair of.black silk stock-
ings of mine ; they were among the clothes which
had been taken out of the trunk."
WilliaM Stawes, an under-waiter at Aber same
house, stated, that•when he went up to his room,,on
the morning of the sth, after the departure of the
Prisoner, he found his watch gone ; it was in his
trunk, which had been broken open. He also lost..
' a coati three,waistcoats, three shirts and some other
articles.: he had seen theni about half an
,hour be-.
fore.

John' Pendick, the porter, stated, that On the same
morning he also lost some property. When the.
alarm watt given, he examined his box, whidh lay
in the.room No. 38 ; the box was unlocked. lie
lost a watch, some shirts, neck-handkerchiefs, &c.
Mr. 1-liltnes being called up again, stat“l, that in
the room in which the Prisoner lay there were found
,by 'the side of the bed, and rather under, it, some
bricks, which were wrapped up.in paper,
[These, as Mr. Gonwey stated in his opening,
were supposed to have been brought by the Prisoner
in the trunk and portmanteau, taken out afterwards,
and replaced on his going away by the. stolen pro,
perty.l . •
The Officer who apprehended the Prisoner corro-
borated Warton the head waiter's account of his
being taken at
,the Portland Arms, and with his
breeches and stockings upon him. The Prisoner's
lodgings, at No. 8, Upper Bet keley-street, were
then searched, and several pawnbrokers' ,duplicates
found. They were sbewn the . room by the land-
lord, Mr. Mackinder, who stated that the Prisoner
had lodged with hint ever since the latter end of
February.
The servants of Mr. Dry, Mr. Everett, and Mr.
Morritt, pawnbrokers in the quarter where the J'ri-

sorer resideJ, described, various articles of
wearing apparel were pawned at their houses on the
6th of Oauber, some by a' woman, and others of
the articles by a mut, whom one of these witnesses
believed to be the Prisoner.
The two Waiters, and the Porter of the White
Horse were then called up for the purpose of iden
'tifying their respcaive properties, which was duly
done. \Varton estimated the amount of his loss, in-
:cludinre• the' in notes, at nearly 201. ; .Stawes. had
-no dotibt.bitt what ,was taken frtins him exceeded 31. '
in :value ; and Peinlick, the porter, thought what he
had beets robbed of was well worth five guineas.
The Rucottptai.—" Now, Prisoner, you hay.e
heard the evidence which has beets adduced against
you, what have you to say ;11 your defence
The Prisoner, who• seemed 'almost overpowered
by his feelings, spoke in a low and tremulods
nearly as follo,.:—" My Lord, I shall, on this un-
happy occasion, take the liberty of addressing a
few observations to the, Court. You see before On
a man more than 46 years' of age, whose life was
forfeited yesterday to the laws of his country. I have
''been
many. years (unwardsnt '2'2) a housekeeper, and
'in a respectable line of life, and if the deal. Angel,
who once was mine, was now alive, she cOuld tell
you the same. The 'misfortunes of my life havel-e; •
duced me to the commission of crimes which my
soul shudders to think of. • My family is large, and
they-are dependent upon use for their daily bread.
When last I was in Ireland, I received-three wounds
in the defence of :that great . and good titan, Lord'
