SENTENCE OF DEATH ON A PROTESTANT
CLERGYMAN.—Richard Sandes was inclictel at the Cir.
low Assizes, on Wednesday last, fur that be, being a de•
graded clergyman of theiChurch of England, did perform
a marriage between John Lalor and Sarah Howard, both
Protestants. Mr. Clarke, Crown Solicitor, said this pro-
secution was grounded on a very old Act, the 12th Geo. 1.,
cap. 3, by which it was made penal for Popish priests and
degraded clergymen of the Church of England to celebrate:
a marriage ; it was a felony, and such Popish priest or de.
graded clergyman should suffer death without the benefit
of clergy. It has been repealed as to Catholics; it refers
only to degraded Protestant clergy. The fact of Mr.
Sandes having been in orders was proved by one witness,
and his degradation by another, the Judge sent the case to
the Jury, when the prisoner produced a priest's licence,
bearing the seal of the Prelate, and signed by the Lord
Bishop of Ktllabc. . His Lordship having summed up, the
Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, after which the Court
rose. On Thursday his Lordship came into Court at half-
past ten o'clock, and proceeded to record sentence of death
on Richard Sandes. The prisoner begged of his Lord-
ship to allow him to say a few worts. The sentence of
degradation had been passed upon him without his know.
ledge. The Court of Carlow were adverse to lim ; it bad
its eye on him as keen and as seam:ling as the glance of
Kehama on Kehuried.
AMERICAN TROTTERS.—The Americans,
who deriv their Lest breed from us, have hi. herto been
able to produce horses greatly super iJr to ours in trotting,
and the only possible reason for this must be that they early
habituate those horses that appear likely to shine at this
pace to stick to it and no °the-, which they certainly
would never think of doing were their trotting powers
likely to be ramunerated by no more substant;al benefit to
their owners; than mere fame. The Trotting Stakes on
the other side of the Atliniie, however, are sufficiently
large to induce the Americans to turn their attention to
improving a pace, which, rrl ed rendered first-rate, is sure
to be rewarded by amble pecuniary gains; and there can
bo no doubt that were similer prizes instituted in this
country, we should very shortly be able to compete with
Brother Jonathan in a pace which he has so studiously
cultivated as to be able at the present moment to send
horses to this country which throw down the gauntlet to
our best trotters._. Old Sportiv Magazine for .February,
