DuuLDT, Nov. 23.1 RELAND.
Evening Post says—" We
had the gratification to learn, from-it friend just arrived
from Nenagh, that Surgeon Cusack had succeeded in
stopping the hemorrhage, and that there were strong
hopes of Mr. BayVs recovery.
"Several persons, we hear, in addition to those who
have been already arrested, have been lodged in the
county gaol of Nenagh on suspicion of this atrocious
offence.
" The county of Tipperary continues in a very lamen-
table state as to disorganization, whilst the situation of
the poor is fearfully bad; in fact, starvation meets the
traveller wherever he appears."
SUPPRESSION OF CRIME—REWARDS TO THE
PEASANTRY.
The Government are determinel to reward those who
come forward to support the local authorities in their
exertions to maitain order, or who aid them in the sup-
pression of crime.
The following important statement on this subject
appears in the Dublin Evening Post:—
" Mr. Ryan, of Clonmel, whose exertions as a magis-
trate have been unceasing, has been appointed a resi-
dent magistrate. Messrs. Canny and Evade, two
gentlemen in the county Clare, who had distin-
guished themselves by their brave conduct in resist-
ing the attacks of the banditti who infest that
county, have been appointed constabulary cadets.
Mr. Fitamaurice, the active county inspector of
Limerick, has also, in reward of his long and efficient
service, been made a resident magistrate. But,
what we consider more important is, the encourage-
ment given to the humbler class to aid in the sup-
pression of outrage. We shall give a a few instances.
A caretaker, named Galway, near Charleville, but in
the county Limerick, manfully
defended the pro-
perty unner his charge against an armed party,
and it is supposed killed one of the assailants.
He has received a reward of 15/. for bis conduct. Seven
people in the neighbourhotti,of Ballyvoe, in the same
county, a most disturbed district, pursued an armed
party, who had been robbing arms in the neighbour-
hood ; and although they did not succeed in actually
catching the perpetrators of the outrage, yet so
hot was the chase, that the stolen guns were
dropped by the robbers, and broneht by their pur-
suers to the adjoining magistrate. These men have also
been rewarded by his Excellency. Another instance has
also come to our knowledge, which is particularly gra-
tifying. We noticed some time since the arrest of a no-
torious offender, named Hayden, in a cave under the
floor of a mountain cabin. The small party who ef-
fected this capture, when removing their prisoner,
were followed by a large crowd of persons, who ex-
pressed their determination to rescue Hayden; an
attempt which would probably have been made,
had not two farmers come out with their arms to
j.,in the constabulary party, which, thus strengthened,
took their prisoner away in safety. The Lord-Lieute-
nant has marked his sense of conduct so deserving by a
reward of 201. to each of the individuals for the good aid
thus afforded to the authorities in maintaining order,
and which, if generally imitated, would soon restore
peace to Ireland."
SALE OF THE BLESSINGTON ESTATES.--The sales of
these estates, situate in Tyrone and Dublin, were re-
commenced yesterday, in Master Lytton's office, Court
of Chancery; but large lots are reserved, as English
bidders are to attend to-morrow. It is stated that the
former sales have produced about 300,0004, and that it
is now intended to sell about 100,000/. worth more.
NATIONAL BOARD OF EDUCATION.—The Lord Chan-
cellor, and Mr. Redington, the Under-Seeretary have
been appointed members of the National Board of Edu•
cation.

PROSECUTION OF ACCESSORIES IN MURDER
CASES.
An application was made to the Court of Queen's Bench
on Saturday, to admit to bail two persons named
Frewen, charged as accessories after the fact in har-
bouring a man named William Ryan (Puck), for whose
apprehension on a charge of murder a reward was pub-
licly offered, and posted in the district. This was the
first application of the kind made since the resent ad-
monitory address of the Lord-Lieutenant on the in-
crease of crime, in which his Excellency declared that
the most rigorous measures would be adopted against
all person. concealing or harbouring criminals.
Mr. BENNETT observed that the Crown was resolved
to put the law in force against those who concealed
crime.
Judge Cmidurrox—What is the legal penalty of the
offence?
Mr. BENNETT—Transportation for life.
The CIIIEF JUSTICE, in pronouncing the rule of
the Court, said that the case was a most important one.
These were persons charged with being accessories after
the fact to the crime of wilful murder. The offence
with which these men stood charged was a most hei-
nous one, and at this particular period, en application
of a more important nature could not be brought under
the consideration of a court of justice. It had been
suggested at the bar that men might, from motives of
personal safety, and acting under coercion, afford shelter
to those accused of murder, but it was high time that
the law should be vindicated, and show those who en-
deavoured to screen offenders from justice that they
could not make the state of the country a pretext for
their own violations of the law. The application must
be refused.
