L JATIC PEI ITIONS.
The Court thenUT
proceeded to hear the unopposeil
lunatio petitions.
IN THE as ATTHR. OP DITCH 30/11(111N.
This case came before the Court upon three peti-
tions; one on behalf of the c.ammitte,e of the person
of the lunatic, Mr s. Dyce Sambre
and Mr. Parker,
the object of whirjh wag, first,
to c'arry out the in.
tention of Mr. Dyce Somi ire w'Ath respect to the
erection of a tr,onument in I, udia to the widow of the
great grandfa'ther of Mr. D 3 ice,
Sombre—the Begum
Sombre, who. left the lunatic. an immense fortune in
India. It appeared from th
e statements on the peti-
tion that the monument, w al& had been executed by
an Italian sculptor of emin arm e, named Tadolini, was
ready to be conveyed to India; that 8,0001.
out of the 4,0001., agreed to be given to the
artist for executing it , had been paid, and
the petition prayed th al. the remaining 1,0004
might be paid. Then, wi I.la respect to the carriage o 1
the monument to India, a
.gentleman of the name of
Beale had agreed to do s o for 2s. 4d. per cubic foot, '
and the petition prayed t hz tt the Court would order
that that offer should be :to cepted. The petition also
prayed that the Court wo at d make some specific order
with respect to the alloy /Tr nce to Mr. Dyee Sombre
weekly, as Lord Lyndb to rat bad given no specific
directions upon the subjc Tr, t; and also that the costs
of the committees of the person and the estate, in
respect of the petition prc'i rented in 1846, should be
paid out of the estate of 3 Ir. Dyce Sombre.
His LORDSHIP made tl le orders as prayed.
The object of the next petition, which was pre-
sented by the committe e of the estate, was the con-
firmation of the Made' report, finding that an in-
creaze should be mad a to the pension of a female
named Bebee Sohagu• a, from 15 to 50 rupees, and
general management of the
easltsaotet.he costs of the

_ -
HiS LORDSHIP also made the order in this peti-
tion.

The other petition, which related to the expenses of
Mr. Dyce Sombre's election for Sudbury, was not
proceeded with, in consequence of the absence of
Mr. Lloyd, who was then engaged in arguing a case
in the Court of Queen's Bench.

The Court then proceeded to hear lunatic and
cause petitions.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-clikr(cELLOR of ltaoLAina.)
His Honour was occupied the whole morning
with unopposed cause petitions and motions of no
interest.

(Before Sir J. WIGRAM.)
ROBERTSON V. scArrnGATn.
This was a supplemental B.ill, filed by the assig-
nee' of the plaintiff against tLedefendvnt, James,Webb
Southgate. It appeared that the defendant carried
on the business with his sc )n, as bookseller, in Fleet-
street, but the partnership being dissolved, a new
firm was formed between. the plaintiff and Henry
Southgate, and under the title of Southgate and
Robinson, the father receiving 500/. to retire from the
business. The original hill rAlleged that he had been
induced to enter into the (partnership under an erro-
neous opinion formed upom the statements of Henry
Southgate, and that the money, 3,0001., which he
embarked in the business, had been applied in liqui-
dation of the debts of the fild firm. The supplemental
bill made the same alleg-Atior., and the defendant, in
his answer, asserted till it the plaintiff entered into
the partnership with the understanding that he
was to assume the liabilitig 35 of the debts of the firm.
His Holqoua, in delittering judgment, said he '
considered that the alleg,ation in the answer was
not improbable, and 'Abet there was no proof of
the allegations in the 'oill, and he must therefore de-
cide against the plaint- iff.
sedwith costs.
The bill was dismiti

and Mr. Crompton appeared to show
au
against,, a rule calling upon the plaintiff to elect
cinM.
whichart
rJne of the above causes he would proceed to
trial, aT.id for a stay of proceedings in the remainder,
and to relieve the defendants in all the causes, except
the one to be sued, from all sosts subsequent to the
19th of January, 1846, the defendant undertaking to
be bound by the event of the cause elected to be
tried.

The Attorney-General and Mr. Bramwell appeared
in support of the rule.
The action was brought separately against twenty-
eight members of the provisional committee of the
projected Derby and Uttoxeter Railway, fora sum of
money for which they were jointly liable by virtue of
their office. In one of the actions, Henry v. Read,
the plaintiff had obtained an award for the payment
of the debt and costs, but had not signed judgment.
Since obtaining the award further proceedings had
been taken, and the defendants had demurred to
several of the actions.

IRISH SPECIAL COMMISSION.
SENTENCES ON PRISONERS CONVICTED
DURING THE COMMISSION.—IMPORTANT
ADDRESS OF THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.
LIAIERICE, MONDAY.—The prisoners convicted
during the commission, and not before sentenced,
were brought up to receive sentence.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE -addressed them as fol-

Mr. MARTIN, with whom was Mr. Crompton, now
contended, that the plaintiff was entitled to all his
costs in the remaining actions.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, with whom was Mr.
Bramwell, maintained that as the remaining twenty-
seven actions could not succeed inasmuch as the
defendant would ba able to plead the award in one
of the actions, they were nut entitled to their costs
in those actions.

After considerable discussion it was finally agreed,
that the parties should 2ubmit 'to the decision of the
Court, as to what costs ought to be paid.
The COURT then decided that the plaintiff should
have the defendant's costs in the action in which
the award had been obtained, and the costs of the
writs and demurrers in the other actions ; and that
upon the payment of those costs, and the cost of the
present application, all further proceedings should be
stayed.

BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GovLBuEN).
IN RE SAMUEL.

This bankrupt had carried on business as a silver-
smith in Bury-street, St. Mary Axe, and to-day was
appointed for him to pass his last examination.
The estate is very considerable, the debts being
about 80,0001. The accounts were not prepared, and
the bankrupt applied for a further adjournment, as
the accounts were very complicated. He said that it
would, even with the assistance of an accountant, take
three months.

His HoNouu granted the adjournment.
The Solicitor to the assignees objected to the con-
tinuation of the allowance (4/. per week).
His HONOUR said that it could not be expected
that the bankrupt could prepare his accounts if de-
prived of the allowance. Ho had no power to grant
it after the choice of assignees, but if it was refused he
would make an order at the audit for the payment
of a reasonable sum to defray the expenses of prepar-
ing the accounts.

anYyouperhsaosnre

convileft the jury no alternative but to fine you
guilty,
you are now about to receive your sentences,
awl it is no part of my duty to rebuke or to insult
you. God knows there is enough before me to disarm
any feeling of resentment, and to cause to be extended
to you pity and compassion, if mercy to others did
not forbid that extension. The time has gone by at
which admonition or advice would have been of use.
Your career of guilt has been run—that career
has terminated, and now arrives another state of
things—to hear the sentence of the law and the
punishment inflicted upon you. These sentences in
the cases of every one of you, with some slight slif-
ference, wilt have the effect of causing your imme-
diate removal from this country—separation from
friends and kindred—in some instances that separation
will be eternal—for the whole period of your natural
lives, at least for periods which exceed the ordinary
duration of your ages. The ties which have con-
nected you with your families, the ties which have
connected you with your parents, brothers, sisters,
are all suddenly and for ever to be snapped asunder,
not by the laws of nature or by the act of God, but
by your own evil deeds. Friends and kindred will
hereafter live, but not for you. You will live, but
not for them. I might be spared, and would cer-
tainly spare myself, the labour and pain of these ob-
serrations, if I looked simply to your condition and
your fate. You have forfeited your liberty—you
have forfeited the most inestimable treasure with
which God has blessed man—you have forfeited
the labour of your hands, and you will hereafter,
during the long periods ciyour sentences be in sub-
stance but serfs and slaves. But it is for the sake of
others that I protract my address to you. The object
of our law in inflicting punishment is not to gratify
the passion of revenge. Revenge is foreign to the
spirit of that law. The object of punishment is the
salutary, the important principle of preventing crime
—of saving those who might otherwise be criminals—
of saving them from themselves and their own evil
passions and propensities—and of saving others from
aggression by inspiring them with a salutary terror,
which may arrest their progress in crime, and protect
the sound and well-ordered portion of society. It is
therefore that at this moment you have comparatively
little interest in what lam about to say. But what
lam about to say is all important to others. And
who are these others ? Your associates in crime—
your companions in guilt—the desperate band of
robbers and assassins who have pillaged the country
and rendered life and property insecure. They
it is that are now to be warned by your
example ; and if not reclaimed from their evil
ways, they at all events may, by the signal
punishment which awaits you, learn what their
punishment will be if they do not stop short in their
crimes, turn away from the paths of riot and disorder
and bloodshed to the paths of pease and order. There
may be many such here, and to them it is highly im-
portant to lay deep in their minds the few observa-
tions which I avail myself of this opportunity of
making, for their sakes and for the sake of the com-
munity, which I hope will be protected by the ex-
amples now about to be made. I hope that these
examples will operate as a discouragement to them.
And here, I would ask, if any partners of your
crime—if any associates of your guilt—if any persons
guilty of similar practices be within hearing of my
voice is your position one which they or any of them
envy—are you at this moment in such a condition as
that they would exchange their places with yours ?
Will they not reflect that what is your fate to-day
may be theirs to-morrow ? Will they not reflect
that the ignominy and the exposure—the loss of
liberty, of country, 'and of kindred, that are
now about to be inflicted on you must in-
evitably be the lot of that man who is not warned
by your example and arrested in his course
of guilt ? Is not your position calculated to make an
impression upon the heart of every man ? What a
spectacle to witness in a civilized and Christian
country ! I believe that there are at this moment
net less than 15 human beings before me, all of
whom, in mercy to the peaceable and well disposed,
it is necessary to remove from their friends and native

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
There was only one case set down for hearing, and
that was to recover the amount of a bill of exchange.
The defendant pleaded that he did not accept, but
did not appear to support the plea.
LIABILITY OF MILITARY PENSIONERS TO SERVE ON
JURIES.
On the names of the jury being called on,
Mr. Andrew Kenna claimed to be excused on the
ground that he was a Government pensioner, and
enrolled in the battalion of pensioners. He said that
he was liable at any moment to be called on active
service.
The SECONDARY—Yes, when the French come. I
know of no exemption on such a ground, and I must
call on you to serve.

land; and will your companions in guilt go on and
Nee that danger ? Will they blindly, to their own
ruin, rush into crime again ? Again brave the
authority of the law, and again incur its terrors and
its punishment ? Oh I if you had voices and could
use them I it is not from my lips the language of
admonition should come, but you should warn, from
the place in which you stand, every human being
misled by your example, or who may have participated
in your crimes, by ti our example to beware of your
fate, and that, if they continue in their crimes, your
fate must be theirs. But with what hopes are these
evil designs entertained and these evil practices
continued ? Does this commission prove that
the law has lost its rigour that the
ministers and officers of justice, false to " their trust,
wink at the escape of criminals, and decline to per-
form their duty ? Every event that has occurred
since the commission opened forbids the expectation
of impunity. The jurors have done their duty ably,
firmly, and constitutionally. A more conscientious
discharge of such duty I never witnessed in the
course of my life ; and is it from laws so administered
and laws so executed that these dastardly banditti
hope to escape ? Is it against such authority they
hope to battle ? But has nothing occurred within a
short period to diminish their hopes of success, and
deprive them of the power of doing mischief. [His
Lordship here referred to the clause in the recent
Coercion Act, rendering the possession of fire-arms
even in dwelling-houses, without a license, a high
misdemeanour, and giving a power to the police to
search all suspected houses.] From my own expe-
rience, I can say that as arms cannot be safely
kept in houses—for the police will know what
houses to search, and will have the power of
searching them, and as arms concealed outside houses
will from damp be rendered unserviceable, the best
hopes may be indulged in. But has nothing else oc-
curred to diminish their hopes of success, by dimi-
nishing the power of this banditti ? Has not the case
of William Frewen, condemned to transportation for
life, occurred, and has it not been heard of? The
power of these illegal confederacies is founded upon
terror. Under the influence of that terror the farmers
of the country have repeatedly—very often, I trust,
involuntarily—received and harboured criminals such
as you. Perhaps they did it in ignorance of the law
—whether that be so or not the law on the subject is
no longer doubtful. Its power has been asserted and
proved by the conviction of William Frewen ; and
every man who harbours a murderer or a felon does so
at a peril of which if not heretofore aware, he is now
well warned. In future he cannot pretend ignorance
of the law ; where, then, without fire-arms—
without protection—where will the disturbers of
the peace find repose ? Let me here advert
to what has occurred in two or three instances during
the present commission, because they show the condi-
tion—the miserable condition of privation and suffer-
ing which is the inevitable result of persisting in these
crimes. We have heard instances—and I now men-
tion them for public information—of criminals con-
scious of their guilt skulking from the officers of
justice, abandoning their own dwellings, and scarcely
venturing, in the severest weather, to enter under the
roof which ought to give them shelter, or to warm
themselves at the hearth from which their crimes have
excluded them. I eannot conceive a more miserable
state of things; but it is a retributive consequence of
the violation of the law of God and man. Practically
the robbers and assassins in this country are reduced
to destitution and misery by the consciousness of their
own criminality. But let me address another, and
concluding,_ word of advice to those who,
like you,
perhaps a
have formed members of these atrocious
confederacies, and whom I would rescue if I could. I,
in this county, and in other counties in Ireland, have
witnessed the progress of these confederacies, and I
know that, as soon as the law has grappled with them
successfully, distrust of the conspirators becomes
universal—confidence is undermined, and treachery
begins. Nothing is so true as that no real confidence
can, from the nature of things, subsist between com-
panions in crime. Sooner or later—that is, as soon
as self preservation or fear shall have alarmed the
confederates, some one will, without hesitation, in-
stantly avail himself of his means of knowledge to
betray the confidence 'nosed in him, and be the in-
strument of bringing his own companions to justice.
This has happened—this will. happen—I speak with
that confidence--with that settled irreversable prin-
of nature enable me to enter-
ciple which the
tain, repeating laws
m
that amongst guilty men there can
be no confidence. I lat'w the name of the informer
is odious. I know in what detestation it is held.
But who makes the informer ? The person who
trusts him. What gives him power over life and
liberty ? The confidencs reposed in him. Who is be-
trayed and destroyed by that confidence ? The men
who confided in
guilts' associates. Therefore cri-
minals, in reposing confdence in each other, arm each
other with the means sf mutual destruction ; and,
whatever the horror with which the name is regarded,
it should be recollected that his power of doing mis-
chief—if you will call it so—arises from the absurd
folly of trusting to a taal who is from the was,- nature
41 ,is only sale in fait trust, as lone it serf
his own interest. Let that self-interest, that self-
preservation come in conact with his vow, his pro-
mise, and the oath or engagement of such a person

them, and saw Goodeve try the complainant's pocket,
but without succeeding in his attempt to get anything
out. He then saw Trebble follow up in the place of
Goodeve, and, after trying complainant's pockets,
pull out a silk handkerchief. Witness then called
another constable to his assistance, and went up to
the prisoners, and took them into custody, with the
handkerchief in their possession. He then informed
the gentleman of his loss, who identified the hand-
kerchief as his property.
Smith, 13 E, corroborated the evidence of last
witness.

CAPITAL CONVICTION.
John Renihen and six others were put forward
charged with the wilful murder of John IlPEnery, at
Adamstown, on the 3d Oct., 1847.

The prisoners declined to join in their challenges,
and John Reniben was then put forward, and a jury
having been sworn, given in charge for the murder.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opened the case for the
Crown. He said it would appear in evidence that, on
the night of Sunday, 3d October last, a party of
armed men went to the house of the deceased
M'Enery. Renihen, it appears, had some dispute with
.the family of M'Enery, out of which there arose
an investigation at petty sessions. M'Enery had arms
in the house for his protection, and these he on that
occasion used as he was fully justified in doing—he
endeavoured to resist the party outside, and fired some
shots. However, seeing the party outside so large,
he knew that further resistance would be unavailing ;
he accordingly ceased firing, and endeavoured to hide
himself. The party immediately broke into the
house, demanded money and arms, and, after pos-
sessing themselves of both, searched for M'Enery.
Having found him, they dragged him out of the
house, when they beat him severely, and inflicted
some gunshot wounds on him, from the effects of
which he died next day.
The case was clearly proved.
The jury, without leaving the box, found the
prisoner Guilty.
The same apparent indifference that characterised
the unfortunate men previously convicted capitally at
this commission was observable in the present instance.
There was not a movement of a single feature betraying
emotion of any kind.
The prisoner was remanded, with an order to be
brought up for sentence next morning.

T 31E S UN, ][.ON DON_ WEDNESDAY EVENING JANUARY. 12, 1848.
IVICA, DEC. 17.—The Era, Et ce.
of Newcastle, from

Formentera previously to the 19i ,h ult.

' will perish with the same rapidity as flax is consumed
by fire. Now I have concluded what I had to say
on the position in which you stand in reference to
your own companions in guilt, of whom there must
be many ; and in reference to those with whom,
though you are not individually associated or
personally acquainted, are looking on at the result
of these trials—looking on with a natural anxiety
to know whether they can safely proceed further
in their career of wickedness, or whether your
escape from the violated laws of the land can extend
any hope of further impunity, or any prospect of
enjoying the plunder they were desirous of possessing.
I do again warn those whom you represent—the
criminals, the untried criminals—the unapprehended
criminals of the county of Limerick. Let them look
to your station, and ask themselves is that one of
triumph, or rather is it not one of misery and distress.
Are you prepared to say, is any one prepared to say,
that the sentence I am about to announce to you, any
human being, with a particle of mind, can hear un-
regarded. One word more before I proceed to pass
sentence. Six months ago, when the criminal justice
of the country was administered at the assizes, it may
have been that some of you were present at scenes
some% hat similar to that now presented to you. It
may be that you saw prisoners in that dock sentenced
by the judge, and that judge holding out as a terror
to you the example of those then sentenced. Now, if
youever heard that language, what must be your afflic-
tions at this moment? And what would you not have
given—would you not have given the whole earth to
have abided by that advice ? Advice may be suvected
because it comes from the organ of the law. Those
who entertain that supposition, or whe would diminish
the value of that advice, are greatly mistaken. But
suppose it was not he who addressed you—suppose it
was any individual who cared to do no more than tell
the truth, and was simply anxious to preserve you
from incurring the severe penalties of the law, would
it not be the advice of a true and sterling friend ? Is
it the less friendly because it comes from the high
authority of two of the principal judges of the land ?
Those who give you a different advice are your real
enemies, and by following it you do that which tends
to your own destruction. His Lordship then pro-
ceeded to pass sentences as follows, recapitulating and
shortly commenting on the particular circumstances
of each case :

John Farrell, attacking the dwelling-house of
Thomas Barkmaa—Transportation for 14 years.
Michael Looney, Daniel Looney, Michael Madigan,
Jeremiah Garven, Thomas Frawley, and Patrick
Gleeson, for attacking the dwelling-house of Patrick
Maloney. All (with the exception of Michael
Looney, recommended to mercy and sentenced to 11
months' imprisonment) to be transported for 14 years.
In this case there was an indictment for the abduc-
tion of the prosecutor's daughter, but it was not
pressed by the Crown. The facts, however, came out
in evidence on the trial, and Looney was recommended
to mercy for having shown some kindness to the girl
when the others were brutally dragging her through
the country.
Patrick Richardson, Maurice Oitrey, Michael
Kennedy, and Michael Collins, for having attacked
the dwelling house of William Staunton, ten years'
transportation.

Thorns Hinchy, firing into a dwelling-house, two
years' imprisonment and hard labour.
Laurence O'Donnell and two others, attacking a
dwelling-house, two years' imprisonment and hard
labour.

Daniel Noonan, Michael Collins, and Andrew
Duggan, attacking a dwelling-house and appearing
in arms, two years's imprisonment and hard labour.
James Healy, and nine others, who pleaded guilty
of having unlawfully assembled, nine months' im-
prisonment.

REMOVAL Of TUB CONVICTS.—During the passing
of sentence preparations were made without the court
for the immediate transmission of those sentenced to
transportation to the convict depot in Dublin. The
space in front of the court house was lined with a
large party of the 92d Highlanders, and jaunting
cars were ranged along the entrance of the outer
hall for the reception of the convicts. Beside the
Highlanders there was in attendance a troop of the
Queen's Bays, and a large party of mounted police. The
convicts haring been handcuffed and manacled, were
placed two on each car with two of the constabulary,
and with the escort of the Queen's Bays and mounted
police before mentioned, conveyed direct to N enagh,
ea route to Dublin. They were accompanied out of
town by an immense number of spectators. The
wailing of the convicts themselves, as well as of
their friends and relatives, was most painful to hear ;
and it is not too much to say that examples of this
kind will have greater effect on the country than the
more serious vindications of the law which have
attended the present Commission.
