TOWN-HALL.

Yesterday morning, D. Curtis, the landlord of the Star
public-house, in Blackman-street, Borough, attended, by
order of Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER, in consequence of
a poor countryman having been " hocussed" and robbed in
his house a few days since.
The case had been adjourned from day to day since
Tuesday last, in consequence of Curtis having left town on
the day of the robbery to attend a fight at Oxford, and the
worthy Alderman expressed his determination to sift the
case to the bottom, another robbery, to the extent of 3751.,
having been committed, in the same house, only a few days
since.

It appeared by the evidence, that the complainant, who
gave his name Richard Martin, and that he resided at No.
106, Ship-street, Brighton, came up to town on Saturday
last, to sell some old iron, for which he received between
seven and eight pounds. He then put up at the White
Hart Inn, in the Borough, where he met a man who pre-
tended to have come from Brighton, and who inveigled
him to go to Curtis's, where he was deluded into playing at
cards, and betting, during which he was plied with liquor,
and ultimately, on drinking some rum and water, which
had been drugged, he became quite stupified, and the man
who had introduced him to the house, took a five pound
note and two sovereigns from him, and pretended to bet
for him, and then lost. The party then quitted the
house, leaving their dupe behind them, to bewail the
loss of his money ; and, also, of a new beaver hat.
On mentioning the loss of the latter, one man said he
knew who had got it, and would take the complainant to
him. The complainant accordingly accompanied him to
several places, when the fellow, no doubt, presuming that
the complainant was almost senseless from the effect of the
narcotic (and which, in fact, was so powerful, that up to the
present time he complains of the effect not having gone off),
gave hime the slip, and no doubt thought that he would not
he able to find the house again, bit he did, and gave in-
formation to the police. Immediately that the case was
made known to the Alderman, he directed the officers to
use the utmost diligence to discover and apprehend all the
parties present at the time ; but with all their vigilance they
had not been able to apprehend any of them.
Both Curtis and his wife denied all knowledge of the
parties, hut it appeared there was a familiarity existing be-
tween all of them which belied the assertion.
Alderman FAREBROTHER now said the case should not
rest here. He would take care Curtis's license should be
suspended, and also directed an information to be laid
against him for suffering gambling in his house.
The complainant was given a trifle from the office fines.

• TO ISIS EXCELLENCY, ftn,ILY CONSTANTINE, EARL
GRAVE, LORD LIEUTENANT; ,AND GENERAL. GOVESif
OF IRELAND.
We, the undersigned inhabitants of the revective pa .
of Gorey, Clnlolin, and Ballygarret, in the bironiesi°f G-
rey and Ballaglikeene, and county of Wexford, b'g ]Care to
cony represent to your Excellency, that the magistrates u.1"10,0
3 pose the benc h in Gorey, give their decisions, and
justice with closed doors in one of the jury rooms of the sl
cious and commodious sessions house,
petise in said town. We beg leave to assure your Excellency(
' that the public are excluded at the points of the barpetse:ol
the police, from entering within the precincts of the arvre-
jury room, unless cm, stipulated terms alike disgraceful to Pc;
administration and destructive of the ends of justice. In mo';
cases it is the practice of this Court to admit no person
built at the public el
• witness for Onintiff or defendant, unless he shall hoe ll'.
ceived a summons for attendance from one or more of the 'Ls..
gistrates who usually preside, and cause his gamy to be _
gistered in the Court Book, by paying to the clerk of the
sessions a certain fee, which, however small, preclude%
great body of the poir from seekingjustice at this singu"c:
anomalous, and extraordinary trillnal, and in every r
spect, more properly a #, Star Chamber," than a court
justice. The Magisterial Bench arc occasionally, to solve ,e
tent, the arbiters of life and property, and we, therefor,', bey
to state to your Excellency that neither we, nor any '3!h
is
portion of the public, can have any confidence in the decisl°'
a s
or judgments of a Court so constituted and arranged,
rsel
have yet to learn that British justice requires to be cei'e
with the unhallowed garb of darkness, to recommend it 07,"
veneration and sanction of those whose happiness, well bell*:
and security come within its sphere. We have long and 14_
• tiently endured this unjust assumption of power—this perveiro,
sion of law —this crying evil, and now that we have for to
first time in Ireland a paternal Government, we beg leave
transmit to your Excellency this our first memorial or rell3°.th
strance, in the humble but firm hope that it shall meet "Ick
that attention which the justice of our case requires. We gni
only for the dispensation of justice with open doors, An"; -cf,
public court, and should our views be deemed right and
by your Excellency, your memorialists will ever pra)',"
Darby O'Grady, a celebrated Magistrate in Limere,
did a thing, once upon a time, which the Judges of t',1);:
t
land never did. He put a Barrister into the dock, in eruet
to prevent him from pleading his client's cause. na,
Darby, to do him justice, never turned the audience eu"
and never dashed the door of the justice-chamber In t'bxei
face of the public. This piece of Irish vigour was reset]'
for the Magistrates of Gorey. What the Government put:
port to do, on this affair, we shall know, perhaps, in a 'l4
or two. In the meantime this fact may be quoted in Ens'
land as the strongest evidence which can be adduced of the
utter estrangement--we should rather have said, of tile
frightful hostility existing in Ireland between the differer 6
classes of her people. If we had Lord Lyndhurst only 10'
a month, Heaven knows what would be the consequence'
This calamity, however, we need not fear.—Dubliii Even'
ing Post.
SLIGO.—The High Sheriff has, we understand, declinq
to convene his bailiewick, to address the Lord Lieutennoti;
ORANGE FIGMENTS.—The chaplain of the ship in svbies4/
it was said that a nephew of the Archbishop of Tuam
passed through Limerick on his way to the hulk for trans'
portation, has contradicted the assertion in the most peg:
tive terms, in a letter to the cork Reporter. The WI"
originated with a Limerick paper in the Orange interest'
whose mendacious manufacture have literally glutted the
market with fabricated outrages.
The Freeman states that the Hellites in Nassarystrieet
have recently infamously swindled several persons, all',
the very nose of the Lord Mayor.
ORANGEISM.—Through a letter addressed to a &It
temporary, we learn that at Dromore, so late' as the 121
instant, the foul spirit of Orangeism was displayed in, it
its wanton virulence. On that day the rector of the paris"'
it is said, harangued an Orange gathering in the chun
he being at the time decorated with an Orange sash nni
medal. By a strange coincident a detachment of the S9,te;
Regiment, enforced by a body of police, and accompard
by the sub-sheriff of the county and a magistrate, arrive:;
at the place on a rebellion mission. Having scoured the
county in pain, it appears that the two officers commandi,ng;
and the justice of peace, joined the rector at dinner, altej
and preceding which, the Orangemen of the neighbourhoo
paraded round the glebe house, with the usual manifestri
tions of the party when in procession assembled. SOO°,
the military also took part in tile unholy orgies ; and one
of the officers not satisfied with the skill with .which
parson's men kept time to »ltse " Protestant Boys," or senle
other tune of mischievouir association, ordered his on 4
drummer to take the matter in hand, who used the sticks
.
to the same tune, with what better success we know tr.o
The disgraceful proceedings were subsequently continued'
the town during the entire night. We are glad the police
do not appear to have participated in the matter. At 10_,
it is not stated that they did. The writer informs us th';
a memorial, praying an investigation, had been transinitted
.
to the Lord Lieutenant.—Pilot.
NEws.—An obscure provincial paper, in its greed fef,
notoriety, has invented a rumour—" A strange rumeefr';,,
says this truth-telling scribe, "is in circulation respe_et!°'
the Lord Lieutenant, whose sentiments upon public athu'..:,
it is said, are entirely changed, and that this change has Del
produced by what he has witnessed during his progre6d
throughout the country." To what hollow, paltry, Ipn
self evidently false expedients, are the organs of a faction
reduced ! Lord Mulgrave is no longer Lord Mulgria:;cl
His Excellency is a changed man—the Viceroy of Ire's
is an Orangeman 1.

Among other diseases of the viscera, which caused
the death of the late Earl of Kerry, was an unusual thickn
of the pericardium, which was the cause of the throbbings Is°,
palpitations, to which he was subject, of the heart. It is Su
fi
posed that excessive exercise chiefly contributed to bring "
his complaint.
MILTON'S WA TCH.—A poor family in this ear 0
lately received a box from America, as part of the effects o soy
aged relative, whose ancestors had emigrated to that contirleA
soon after the time of the Commonwealth : the box contain
several coins of the reigns of Elizabeth, James, and Charles `";
and a few of the Protectorate, but none of later date. 1t
,/,
the coins there was an old watch, and the family to whoa'
bequest came being indigent, sold the whole to a silverso.to
who was also a watchmaker. The purchaser gave the full
for the coins, but refused to give more for the watch than tout,
value of the silver case, 2s. 9d. The works, with the faceuel'd!
(which looked like iron), were left in a drawer freqbe
opened. After awhile the friction on the face showed it t° to,
silver, with an inscription on it. This being decipheredtlii
clearing the metal, was found to be " Johani Milton°, 162
and contained also the name of the maker, a person in 13°Pih
Head-alley, London, whose name appears in the tables,.
Watchmakers' Company for that period. The. watch pi
made for the time, and would seem an appropriate present soi,
a young gentleman on entering life. The present poggestie
had it as a token of gratitude for some former favour (*roll fat

purchase at a considerable price for the British Musa°
