and Finn, and acquitted the others.
Judginent was respiu:d.
LVilliiuu Allpress, aged 30, was indicted for the man-
slaughter of Anne Alipress, his wife.
Mr. Horne prosecuted, and Mr. Mellor defended the
prisoner.
It appeared that the parties resided at Gillingham, and
the defendant was very much addicted to drink. On
the night of the occurrence in question, she was at a
public-house intoxicated, and the prisoner had an alter-
cation with her; and, according to the testimony of one
of the witnesses, he struck her a violent blow on the eye
and also kicked her. His statement was, however, con-
tradicted by other witnesses, and it appeared that the
deceased had fallen down some stairs, and the actual
cause of death was by no means clearly made out.
The jury returned a verdict of nut guilty.

day—rather too late. The prosCeWuses were not sent about,
but applicants had them. Letter' ,of introduction was sent
to General Johnson, and witness sali r it at General Johnson's.
Went down subsequently with tqe plaintiff to General
Johnson's. Mr. Hughes produced . is plans. The line was
to go through the grounds of the d Te.ndant. That was ex-
plained to him. Their conversation was principally as to
the direction the line was to take. General Johnson ex-
pressed his opinion as to the line, in_ some respects favour-
able' in others not. I stated to him that I was indebted to
the kindness of Mr. Collins for the names of Mr. Etwall
and Mr. Villiers, the Members for Andover and Wolver-
hampton. Dwelt a long time on the way we were to pass
through the General's property. An appointment was made
for the following Tuesday. Defendam.: said he expected to
be in London in a few days. He was waiting for a letter
from Mr. Collins. Witness asked the General whether he
would like to appoint his own solicitor? that they were al-
ready in communication with Mr. Bell, of Bowen, but they
did not wish to appoint any person disagreeable to him.
T;ie General said they could not appoint a more active or in-
telligent person. •
Cross-examine?—Mr. Hughm was appointed by Air. Fox.
The defendant objected to the line as originally projected,
and pointed out the properties of other gentlemen to whom
it would have been a nuisance, whose names he mentioned.

IRISH ASSIZES,
COUNTY ANTI? I M.—Carrickfergus, July Is.
CIEARGE OF MURDER-TENANT RIGHT. —Lewis O'Don-
nell was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder
of Guy Morrow, at Glenarm, on the 9th of April, by hurling a
stone at him, from the effects of which he languished and
died on the 28th of April.
After the examination of two or three witnesses, the facts
of the case appeared of so mitigated a character that the
Crown consented to receive a plea of guilty of manslaughter
only.

OIIAGAN then called witnesses, who gave the prisoner
an excellent character.

The Learned JUDE called for the informations, and from
these it appeared that the crime was committed on the estate
of Alexander M'Donnell, Esq.. of Glenarm Castle, and that
it arose from an infringement of Ulster tenant-right.
Sir Thomas Staples having conferred with Mr. M'Donnell's
agent, informed the Learned Judge that though from the in-
formations the offence might seem to partake of a Whiteboy
character, he was happy to say that the agent of Mr. M'Don-
nell had stated that it was altogether free from the cha-
racter attributed to it in tie informations.
Judge CRAMPTON—The statement you have made, Sir
Thomas, is very important in favour of the prisoner. While
reading the informations I was afraid that it had sprung from
a state of society in some parts of this country—that it was a
part of that infamous and clandestine code which attempts to
deprive the landlord of his just rights, and contravenes every
constitutional principle Had this character appeared, I
should have visited it with the most signal punishment. I
am happy to find that it is free from this most atrocious cha-
racter, and that it was the result of a sudden impulse .of
passion. Under these circumstances I shall only sentence
the prisoner to be imprisoned for three months, with hard
labour.

Lilly M'Grane, a girl against whom a new indictment had
been sent up yesterday, for aiding Edward Harten in violating
the person of Mary Esler, was tound guilty of the crime im-
puted to her.

Judge CRAMPTON, after commenting in strong terms on
the atrocity c f the crime, sentenced the prisoner to be trans-
ported for life.

James llPBlain, and several others, were indicted for ex-
tensive forgeries on the Loan Fund in Belfast. They were
also indicted for a conspiracy to defraud the Loan Fund, by
representing as true documents, purporting to be securities,
which were forged.
On the part of the prosecution it was agreed to receive from
the prisoners a plea of " guilty" of conspiracy, with an un-
dertaking not to press the charge of forgery.
Judge CRAMPTON sentenced the parties respectively to
nine months' imprisonment.

COUNTY OF FE I? M A2l' AG IL—Enniskillen, July 18.
Eleven persons, charged with being members of a Ribbon
Lodge, were arraigned; but on the earnest application of Mr.
Schoales, the Crown counsel, their trial was postponed until
next assizes.

The JUDGE directed that they should be let out on bail, and
Judge Torrens sent for the resident magistrate to hike bail ;
but it is stated that that functionary declined to attend, and,
after soma delay, another magistrate was induced to come
forward and receive bail for the prisoners !

SHOOTING AT MIL F. W. lILItTON.
Thomas Burnside, James Irvine, and Margaret Irvine, who
were indicted for shooting at, with intent to kill, and for
wontuling F. W. Barton, Esq , at a place called " Crummer's
Gate," on the 31st of October, 1845, and James and Margaret
Irvine, for being accessories to the act, have been acquitted.
