ticles of wearing apparel, of considerable.ealue..
Isaac 'Mendoza, the prosecutor, stated, drat he
went, out with his wife about 7 o'clock. on the
night in question, after locking his .doori and
fastening: the wineows ; and on' his
.return.ahout

Priscilla Mendoza. deposed_ to a similar effect,
adding that' one of the notes which she called
her own -was concealed in a glove, and that she
bad received it from a person who put.-.a
noon it, as she believed, in Hebrew characters.
Two police officers ‘acre then called, who swore
that the prisoners were seen near • the premises at

'get something to drink;" when they were admo-

Mr.,Baron \Voon, in his address to the Jury,
observed, that the only circumstance against Gonld
was, that he was seen in rurden's company, near

combined with the manner in which the note was

IRE LAN D.

MURDER OF MR. BAKER.

ADSOURNED SPECIAL SESSIONS UNDER TUE fNSt.7lt-

I(ECTIoN ACT, HOLDEN AT CLoNMEL, NOV. 29.
At the opening of the Special Sessions, Mr.
Jephsou addressed his brethren, in .order to draw
their attention to a recent melancholy event. He
said, that in calling their attention to a late de-
plorable occurrence, he should be more embarras-
•sed, were he not convinced that every Magistrate,
nay, every man who heard him, participated with
hiin in feelings of the deepest regret and horror,
at the atrocious murder of the late Mr. Baker, Of.
Lisutacue—ot horror, that this Country should be
disgraced by an assassinating banditti—of the
deepest regret, that he should be a victim of their.
cruel vengeance—a Man of the most amiable cha-
racter—a kind and indulgent Landlord—of gentle-
, manly manners—the str:ctest integrity and lock-
pendence2-=nniting every quality that distinguishes
the
.real
.gentlettiati-e-a Magistrate, to whom the
oppressed fled for sheiter=-Irem whom the ruffian
. fled .that tran3gresSed 'the laws, and feared their
justice.
• Mr. Jephson proceeded to state, that, it was,
ire might say, in the active discharge of his Ma-
gisterial duty that Mr. Baker's life was sacrificed;
am! that as the circumstauces under which he was
..cut off, called loudly for some measures, die did
not at present offer to suggest what
,these mea-
sures should be—but .tlie first Mt. eting after the
me!aucholy event, was the most proper place to
urge their necessity, and he could riot suffer the
occasion to elapse. The time required prompt
and decided resistance against a system, ‘vbielt
had
.manifestly for its object to beat down the
law, and take off;trianby man, every Magistrate,
who was honest and spirited enough to come for-
ward in its support. The two Bills (tire Peace
Preservation Bill, anti the Insurrection Act,)
!I Which bad already been tried, had not produced
"'the effect of quelling this confederacy against the
and bringing.ia the arms, notwithstanding
the Government hail lent all its energy to their
enforcement, and all the better descriptions a-
men:in the country, clergy of all sects, and gentry, ,
by exertion and adyice, had lent their co-opera-
tipu. This state of society, said he, cannot long
subsist ; end therefore, beseech you to take the
speediest moment of entering into calm and firm •
deliberation as to the measures by which this sys-
tem is to be pet down.
• ..Serjeant Moore said, that, strongly as his per-
sonal feelings must" sympathize in the common re-
gret, and participate in the common horror a the
savage atrocity alluded to, his judicial situation
precluded him 'from interfering in their delibera-
tions en this subject.
Earl Donouglimore felt, that on, the subject of
Mr. Baker's abatninable miirder, it was not ne-
cessary to say a single word in ()Mer to excite sor-
row or indignatiori,; the difficulty is for any man
to suppress his feelings for this shocking cutting
off of such a Man as Mr. Baker, than whom there
was not a more valuable or More respected indi-
vidual. The heiror of it is above any etiort• of
aggravation undoubtedly at the occurrence
of so heavy a calamity as this, it is not possible
to overtook the necessity there is of adopting such
measures as may prevent a future recurrence of
any thing like it, if speti "measures can possibly
be devised. In this sentimeet, which would Da-
turally suggest itself to every active mind, he ter
one sheulit be happy if he could, point out 'any
adequate measure of cure or prevention. • That
was an tiebePpy,'sitteat* which_ certainly did not
appear to be et all amended by the application'of
new and nettled laws 'of great power ,and in full
operation, and in which calamities like that whiCii
w.e, now deplore, are not to be prevented by these
strong measured. Meat additional measure the
Magistracy can jiropose•is cif some doubt', and of
great moment ; but in whateVer shape his exet-
tionS could be of use, in restoring the country to
quiet, Ire was ready to 'Make them., Before iris

state, that there was nothing to, complain of in

exertion which could fairly be made on the "part•
of the.Govemnient, seemed to be fairly and fully
tried, and that the selection of those persons,
civil and titilitarY,. by whom these laws were to
be carried into effect, was such as perfectly to
,satiqy the public feeling.". • kle, was sorry, sin-
cerely sorry, for theoceasion tinder which he was
called upon to make these observations, but not
sorry, to do justice to this selection., His •
ship concurred in the necessity of not suffering
this horrid outrage to pass over in 'silence,; and
the. whole Bench felt so strongly
,the obligation
upon them,- of;taking the fullest sense of the Ma-
gistracy as to the conduct to be pursued, did, in
consequence,,,at the rising a the -court on Thurs-
day, make it part of the
,order of adjournment,
that, the Clerk of the Peace shall summon, null-
vitinelly, every Gentleman holding. the Commis-
sion -of the Peace,. and living within any or the
