Witness said she knew the deceased Michael
Reilly—he was her brother—be is dead—on the
20th of January last she went to Clenkeen, to
see a challenge to be fought between a person of
the name of Darby and one Keeley—the first
tiling she saw on her coming to the ground- •t:l'as
ker- deceastd brkher running. away for his-life—=
she, saw the prisoner§ Robert Old Edward'Bennett,,
and- others, pursuing liiip-7(Witness identified
prisoners)—Ned was armed with a hanger, -and
Robert had a bayonet—she saw Ned strike the
deceased several blows, and Robert strike bias
with his baymkt—dtobert Stabbed him three or
four times ' .

Question from the Court.—Q. Was he running
away at that time ?—A. He was; my lAN, mak-
ing off for his life:
Witness did not ',see• her brother _give the least
provocation—the prisoners were her near neigh
hours, livilig in ttreJ;next land,-=they are all rela-
tions' of each other; but not brothers---her bro-
ther lived from Monday, when he received the
wound, till the Saturday following—she could
compare his whole body to. nothing but a piece of
cut and mangled beef—he was visited by doc-
tor—there were several others, as Well as'tho pri-
_soners., in pursuit of him (her brother) at the
same time when he reteived his wounds.

Cross-,examined- by Mr. .gollestone:
Witness never •knew of arty dispute between Tier
brothers and the prisonersthey had li-ged on a
fooLine-lof friendship and intimacy=-her friends
were very_happy to 'have, them living so conve-
nient. The parties who came to tight had agreed
to make it up on the ground-L-her brothers went
to see the challenge--;.-a great many attended for
the same purpose—she believed there were above
.20,0 pe,rSonS- assembled on, the occasion. it was
not unlikely that there had been a general quarrel
—the bustle and confugion had nit continued
I 1 long*, WiliC she saw the pursuit—she heard Darby
and Keeley ~had fought--caik't say she knew the
nanie of the person who was second. to Darby—
Pat: a b,ro,ther of hers, was second to
Keelef,—she ivas not present, nor convenient to
where they fought. It was reported that after
Darby lost his stick, her brother desired Keeley
to follow his blow..—She heard that one'Pattison
was•there—she aid not hear that he had put his
stick over the head of Keeley Keeley partly run
into the house, and swore he would cut them to
pieces—she did not know how many of Keeley's
party were present. ;The ditch on which she stood
was not altogether two yards from the deceased.
Her. eyes were on him, and she did not observe
any stones •thrown. On her oath she had not a
stone in lier hand until Darby's party were pur-
suing theikto the end of her father's house.
At the Coroner's InqUest held on the body of the
deceased, they were all turned out. She did act
'ask the Coroner to examine her-,-she did not at-
tempt' to conceal any thing from him-shad he
asked any questionS she would have told him the
truth.

William Kerr, examined by Mr. Rollestone.

Witness is a servant of yeomanry corps—
he heard of the quarrel, 'and saw it on 20th of
January last. When he .first hezlrd of it, .he
. •
Went to the Magistrate and told hitn.what was
to take place—he (the Magistrate) said he -would
go and prevent it—on Monday he said he would
go again—he saw a Mr. Robert Ferguson, and
spOke to him about quelling the disturbance—the
most part of the persons assembled were strangers'
from different parts -7—Abe Bennetts were not
among them at all—there were upWards of two
hundred
_in the crowd—he called to them to
keep the peace—he called for Kecly, and told
him the )lagistrates were coming—Keely re-
plied, that he did not care for them—Ned
Bennett then came up—told Witness he had no
business there—he saw Darby coming—he saw
the challengers on the fiehl—Dailly was very
willing to make 4,l3p—there were a great number
on both sides—when the tyro men came into the
pit together, they shortly after began the fiht, and
the stick was knocked out of-Darby's hand—;then
Pattison his (Darby's) seeond went to save him, till
he wold.d. recover his stick—Reilly (Keely's second)
then struck Pattison, and knOcked him down, and
then a general quarrel ensued--a mad of the name
of Long. fell, and a person came 'to carry him
away—he cried out that Long was killed—they
were fighting in all directions, and throwing
stones—he saw the. first witness (Reilly's sister)
throwing stones.
Cross-ext mined, by Mr.. STOKES.

Witness was as much a friend to one,,party as
the other—he certainly wished Darby to win the
fight---Keeley and he did not .oelong, as members,
to any particular Association--Darby and he .did
belong to a Certain Society=Witness thought he
had no right to say whether the me-niters of tis
Association -were-bound by yin bath. •
Counsel for the Pris Oner contended that the;
point was ruled, in the case of the King.p. Dr. She-
ridan, that a Witnes was not bound to, answer
whether the Association.; of which he -,4-as a mem-
ber, were bound by oaths. • -
Counsel for the Crown stated,-that ,the point
alluded to was, _Whether an -Orangeman was a
competent Juror. • •
The Court over-rulefl the poifit, and de6ired:the
witness to answer the question.
Witness said, he did not' deny that be was a
member of the Association, but certainly.wotild
not 'divulge the oaths., if he were'-to stay on the ta-
ble till that day roonth—the Bennet.ts Complained
that they had been beater: by Kceley's party be-
fore, mid witness thought they brought the arms
to U fight their pro t ection—therc:.woe
no arniS but .those on the. part of Darby.
• Francis Finlay examined by Mr. -Cole. •

WitneSs saw the,transaction at Clenl;een.on the
20th 'of January last—he used every, effort in his
pmster to' stop the quarrel. .
~.

cause of the general quarrel.

Frederick Ellis era pined.

Witness said he was one of the Coroners of the
county Cavan—recollected holding an Inquest ()li
the body of Midi. Reillp---he saw Mary Reilly,
.deceased's sister,- at. the Inquest--he Imade the
usual Proclamation- three times7—Mary Reilly
showed the wonads—she did not make any re-
marks, but 'merely shewcd the wounds—none of
the Reilly's came ,into Court, and he examined
every witness produced—he was in Court when
Mary Reilly was examined.
,[lt. had been vrevionsly agreed on between tlic
parti&, that all witnesst-s, on both sides, were to
leave the Court during the trial, till'called Om]
• Nary Reilly, first witness, was re-examined-;-
Witness said she did not shew her brother's wounds
to the Coroner ; but a person of the name of
'Mary Keenan had Shewn-them to him,. and that
she was turned, out of the house.

Several othei.witnesses- Were also examined,-and
corroborated the former, as to the fact of the corn.,
mencement of the riot; there was no other mate-
rial' circumstance in their evidence.

. Mr. John Finlay, a MagiStrate, said, that he
had seen the deceased shortly before- his death—
that he heard him name two -of the persons that
tabbed him,- and that he did not then mention•
either of the prisoners. The case of the deceased
was then 'very bad, Atod it was possible he
