ROBE It T PEEL,

Patrick' Mao,'lee+ and John Cremin were put to the bar,
charged with the murder of the Franks-fainily, on the tlih of
September at ....lisnagourneen, in this county. The intents

trial

„ .
Was wound up to x still greeter
pitch When it became known that the principal witness Was the
person who, according to his own confession, tired the "shirt at
Mr. Franks which deprived him of life.
Mr. Serjeant Goot.o stated the circumstances of the me So
the Jury, as they were stibsequently detailed by
Edward Atairaer. the accomplice, Who remembered the
murder, and was at it. He had been preVlously at the house
of 'a person named Potter, at Shanballythore ; this was is the
month of May, upon which occasion he saw the three pri-
aoners there, whom lie 'now-identified. They drank to hitn, end
asked him to go 'Murder the Franks's, and ha said he would.—
He left them then, and did'nt see them till two nights before
the murder, when, being then at home, a man Chine to hirn,
and told hirn to be ready. He said he would, and Went frem
thence to one Thomas Barry's, at Billydtiff; where he re-
mained reaping till the night of the murder, when; at about
four o'clock, he left it, taking with him cap and
gown ; he proceeded from thence to hie own heuae, where
he got a pistol, and then went to Mr. Franks's kiteh'en-gaiden,
where he saw the three prisoners, who had appointed to meet
hint there. At this time he had on the cap and gown ; it was
about 6 o'clock. Pat Cremin had an apron end shawl on, jtiAt
as a woman would wear them ; they had pikes and bayonets on
sticks. They went into the kitchen of Mr. Frankli houi7,
through the hall ; there was a table With a cloth, jug, anda
candle lighted on it. Mr. Franks was sitting at it, and the
witness asked for arms ; he said he had none, but would ;end ter
theta ; witness and prisoner then went to a cupboard; and threw
out the things; a poker which was on the top of it fell; and J.
Cremin took it up. I'. Cremin then took up the jug, threw
it in Mr.'FrankOs face, and the witness fired the pistol at him,
which had a ball and two slugs in it. At this time hi was
standing up, having rose when the jag was thrown at him,
when Patrick struck him with the poker, am: he fell. Vaung
3lr. Franks, who was present all the time, then took up a chair
to defend himself, when he Was struck 6): x than, who is not
present, on the arm, which was broken. The lightt had
put out, and they their twisted the _table-cloth round Mrs.
Franks' head, to prevent her front making a noise, as she was
schreeciting while they were killing the rat. They Were all
then killed. The party consisted of nine altogether, of whom
one assumed the command, end when younz Mr. Frit:tilts was
thrown down, that person said " Do your duty."
This witness was cross-examined by Mr. I rCoxxvi.r..—
lit! made one of those exhibitions which characters like him
always do nailer similar circumstances'. They killed them all,
he said ; and if the c ',tinsel hirriself Was there, or Major Carter,
or any one else, they would be killed: He would go up t 0 his
knees in blooti,—would kill IlajoeCartei with pleasure; and
who' knows if lie was'let out, but he would kill mere. "ris two
years since he took the ‘VhiteboYs'aitit—he forgets part of it;
part of the oath. it to do every thing' he was ordered, and be
would kill men women and children, if we wits &sired. He
had been tried and convicted under the Insurrection Act ; he
did not like to go away, but he wouldn't swear, except in ho.
nests, to be allowed to stay at lionie. Three weeks after he
was convicted, he told Major Carter about this business; only
for that, may be lie would have been transported. Its had
been et the burning of four or fire lioust•it; and would have
burned more,• if he was ordered. He had murdered all the
Franks's; and would murder more if ordered. After'the mum.
der lie slept, got up next day, worked, and' was as cheerful as
ever. The witness gave ail.the answers' which exhibited him
in such an atrocious character with pariah citSe; but in nothing
did'he vary from his direct evidence.
Mary*Myers•wasnext exattined—Slie stated that she had
recently lived In•Dablin ; before that at Major' Carter's'; and
previous to that, at Scarf. She knew the Creutiris; whom she
with whom she lived, butnot is a servant; at

Mi. Franks got up', and went out against then, but they
pushed him iu ; there was a light iii the room, and a candle on
the table. .Mr. and Mrs. Franks, and young Franks, had
dined at the table, and there was some pork, and plates, .and
knives, and forks; and tea, and some.jugs on it. One of the '

and remained in consultation a few iniausis,

prisoners.:
His Lordship proceeded to past sentence of death on them for
one of the fOulest crimes that had ever been perpetrated, whin ha
was interruptedby h cry front all the prisoners, that " it wits e

few hours ago he had heard a like declaratios"of innocence
from one who, like them, haallieen found guilty of an atrocious
murder (entitling to Linnehan, who' wee •eiestited this day for
-
the murder of the policeman); but he hid' the "satisfaction to

ExEcuTtow or JEREMIAH LtarKattAw.--At twelve
o'clock on Saturday this unfortunate man was' removed from
the county goal of Cork to the plaeeof e'xecution, where a large.
concourse of people-had assembled. A few nannentsbefore he
ascended th.-scatlidil,.after living some time engaged in prayer,
he called for Mr: Henry Itetinettolie Stibheritt'nf the Coun-
ty, to whoM he made a Nil eonfession' of, his having assisted at
the murder, but declared that it was all at the instigation of the
approver Cronin; whir had given the dereatied several blows with
a stick, and stabbed him with bayoaet, before be, Linnehan,
struck hint at -all; he added, that only one other person was
present, and that Air. Nash's ividetice was correct as to what
poled.

.11 r. 1 i un !SE v opened the ease on behalf of the plaintiff.
Tl6‘ was an action for the breach of au agreement entered into
by Mr. Patme • oil behalf of his daughter, a lady whose merits
as ;An actress and a singer were higNy appreciated by the pub-
lic, ion( whose mane was, doubtless; familiar to the JUry.
No theatre ,:ould pros'per without engagements binding the per-
formers to continue their services for specific periods; and when
those peilorincrs were under age, and incapable of contracting
fir themselves, it Will necessary, for the security of the ma-
na!,ers, that :.tanc One should be bound for them. Miss Paton
made her first appearance at the Haymarket Theatre in the
summer of 1872, having previously madean engagement for
Ili. per week during the season, which was liberal, considering
that all thc.nrical success was. in a degree; uncertain. At this
period the agreement was made which Mr. Paton had- broken.
The Lou o tit r .1 u IT ICE—Surely we are not the fittest
parties to arrange a dispute of this nature.
Mr. Seen ',NTT, fOr the defendant, said that the case in-
volved a point-of law wl:ielt his Lordship would decide.
31r. N suid, he had no objection that the case, after
the point had heen decided, should be. settled out of Court.—
The loss.of which the plaintiffs complained in consequence of
the refusal of Miss Paton to perform her engagement was very
considerable. They did not ask fur the whole; for the expence
which they bad incurred in endeavouring to supply her place,
and the loss arising teem, their
_inability completely to supply
it, would, if fairly eStiiiinted; be found very large. The en.
gagemenr made by I.llr. Paton, and on which the action was
foUnded, bore date the 29th July, 11122. The Learned CoUnsel
here read time rgreement, which was nearly in the following
terms hereby agree that Miss Paton, my daughter, shall
perform at the Haymarket Theatre for 81. a'-weelc, until the
present season shall terminate ; and I hereby current that she
shall, if required by Mr. Morris, sign articles for three years.,
receiving 91. a-w e:k fur the season 1823 ; 10/. a-week for the
. .
season 1824 ; and 121. a-week for the season 182.5 ft is under.
stood that Miss Paton is to be subject to the,rules and regula.
tiuns which are observed by other performers ; but she is only
to be required to perform in operas and musical pieced." This
sgrement was signed byr*Mr. and by Miss Paton, thin'under
age, and witnessed by the treasurer of the theatre. . Under this
.agreement Miss Paton continued to perform, attracting con-
siderable 'audiences; till the close& the'season 1822, When she
was required to enter into articles. Mr. Paton, however, wish-
ed to defer the business ; and it was, in fact, postponed to the
simmer. Ink daughter- then wished for other terms : she de.
sired a stipulation that she should not be called on to perform
in male attire (which she had never been), and Mr. Morris
assented. Mr. Paton still deferred the execution of the
arti-
cies but Miss Paton re-appeared at the theatre, and conti-
nued -to perform during the earlier part. of the season. • ,In the
course of August, it appeared that Mr. Paton t.aa discovered
that more money was to be made by singing at concerts in
the country, than -by performing at the Haymarket in-London;
and he actually entered into correspondence with: several
per-
' sons by whom such entertainments were conducted in thfre-
rent parts of the-kingdom. Miss 'Paton now becaMe
indis-
posed ; singing three theme week was too much for her health,
and she could sing but twice; till, at the end of".Auguit, the.
Treasurer heard, with surprise, that 'she was going to sing'at
gxeter. On being required to attend rebearsal, she said it
was of no use, for she should not play ;, slte.wrrmed for. the
last time on the Ist September, and immediatey after gritted
London. At this time her services were peculiarly requisite,
because the operatic pieces, of which she was the principal orna-
ment, were just coming into play. A comedy, in which Mr,
Liston perforrueda'principalcharacter, had run for a longtime;
but a change became necessary ; She operas in which. Miss
Paton had attracted great houses were to he revived,, and a new
opera- produced,in which she was to perform a Chief part ; indeed
at this time she was regarded as the principal stay and support
of the theatre. On her, unexpected, secession, the operas, were
laid aside; Madame Vestriswas 'engaged, at a great expence,
at her substitute; and the Treasury sustained considerable loss.
But where, at this time, was Miss Paton ? Her health re-
quired reit," it was said. She sarig, it was true, at other;
placeil hut she happened to be there just when concerti were
performed, and so was induced just to sing in order to pay her
currept expenses.

Mr. ti neee'r resumed.—He would merely state on this part.
of the case, that Miss Paton sung four night;, at Exeter, and
that,
_she , went from thence to Edinburgh, where. both
played and sang much oftener than she had. objected to do in
London. This, was the case; it was obvious that. proud, arid.

Mr. Paton a fair,and reasonable. compensation 'for the. injury

T. Sean LETT stated that this was an /talon brought by

defendant, for criminal, conversation with the plaintiff's wife.
The plaintiff vas a *holesale iron Monger, in Union-sitreeti tin
the Bonnigh. The defendant was a hop-factor in the Borough,
and a Gentleman of forinne..TheLearned,COunsel proceeded
to
.state the facts of the ease, and called the following witness;
in support of his statement :

plaintiff—went into his family at Michaelmas, tfin.
Holmer wasf irta requently absent on journeys, but when inio
lived constantly with his family in Union-street. Theve
were four children, three of whorn.were daughters. When.wit-
Ders had been about three months in her place, she was wslkitag
with her mistress and two of the children; when she observed
a Gendeman pass them on horseback; who turned OR his
horse to look at 3lrs. Holtner—and afterwards turned his bow
round and passed thew again--;-he smiled at Mrs. Helmer.
but she took no notice of him; and he rode on. Witness
did not at that period know who the Gentleman was, but she
since knew it was Mr. Collett ; Mr. Holmer was at this time ie
town, but soon after he went out of town for his January
journey, and during his absesice witness saw Mr. Collett two
or. three times at the house ,in Union-street ; the way to .tile
private dwelling of the, plaintiff was through the warehouse,
at the back of which was a private door ; Mr. Collett used
to knock at that door,•aati was admitted some times by wit-
ness, and sometimes, by the other servants; he never came •
when Mr. Ilolnier was iu town when he came he used to stay
about an hour; witness rccoilecii his coming one day is

bed ; he sent a message up to her, and she desired he should
be shown into the parlour, anti soon -after she came down to
him. Witness heard him say to her mistress, "I fly to you.—
The witness went into the Xitchen where. her fellow-servants
were; and soon after they heard the door bolted. The door was
soon after unbolted,but ishout two hoorsafter the parlour dour
was again bolted ; after a short time had elapsed, witness was
called to let Mr. Collett out; did not see Mrs. Holmer, who
was standing behind the door, and on witness's return to the
parlour, she was.gone isp to bed.. On the following morning
witness saw the dress which her mistress had worn the night
before—it was very much tumbled. From. this time Mrs. Hol-
user became very violent towards her children.
William Cooper, porter to Mr. Holmer, proved that.in the
beginning of January 1823, witness saw Mr. Collett and Plain-
tiff's nursery maid together in ' the street talking; aeon after
Mr. Collett came into the warehouse, and asked. if there_ was
any answer to the note he had sent just before; witness wan
sent up to know whether there Was any answer, and the nur-
sery maid came down and said the gentleman was to walk srp
stairs ; witness recollected Mr.. Collet coming one evening La
April after Mrs. Helmer was bed, and. his mistress.comiag
down. to. him. He corroborated that part of the last-witness's
testimony. . .
Mary Anne Ayres, rueliarwinnan employed in Mrs. Holinces
family, was there, when'the letter was brought. Mrs. Balmersaid, -" I know nothing about' the butiiness—tell the gentleman
to walk up stairs." Tjso, witness proceeded to corroborate the
testimony of the other witnesses as to bolting the door of the
parlour, &c.

PARIS, APRICI2.—It is said there will shortly be published
a collection of the znandements, circulars, proclimation4, &c.
&c. which were sent at the moment of the late election. This
,collection will be curious, and will give posterity an idea of the
,Itepresentative Government of 1324.. The following is one of
them,—the circular of the Prefect of the Department of Lot-
ct.Qarorme, addressed to the (..4:A.n.ls

" "Igen: Feb. 17, 1824

" Sir, you know all the electors of your parish, and the sacred
..,office which you hold necessarily gives you a great influence.
The interest of the altar and the;throne demands that no one
,olthe electors who you know to profess Royalist principles,
Should fail to repair to Agen, on the 25th of this month, to
vote at the elections. Have the goodness to wait on each, .and
tell them all, that the absence of any one may give a triumph
,to the liberals, ti at the consequence of a bad clioice will lie
von them, and that they will be responsible far this before God
,and men. It would be well, M. le Von., if you were to:conduct
your electors in person to the College, and never lose sight of
them till they had voted for the President of the College.
'f his mission is well worthy ofyour character, since the question
is no less than the triumph of religious and monarchical prin-
. ci.ples. From your zeal and your charity I hope all things.
" Your obedient Servant,
