GAOL.

The following appears in the Tipperary Vindicator of
this day:— _
__

" The legal offence imputed to Mr. Doheny is, we
believe, bailable; but Mr. French, R.M., conceiving, we
suppose, that he had no authority, gave directions that
Mr. Doheny should be conveyed to Roscrea, where he
arrived on the evening of Wednesday, and from which
town the warrant, signed by the Hon. F. A. Prittie,
was issued for his arrest. Having reached Roscrea
in the evening, the informations on which Mr. Doheny
was arrested were exhibited to him in the presence
of the Hon. Mr. Prittie and the policeman on whose
depositions the warrant was made out. It appears that
the report of Mr. Doheny's speech was taken down by
one of the constabulary of Roscrea. It is not the fact,
as has been very generally rumoured, that he has been
arrested under the Treason-Felony Act.' Mr. Dobeny
was unprovided with the slightest possible professional
or friendly aid, and he was lodged for the night in
Roscrea Bridewell, Mr. Prittie having assured him that
if he found, on communicating with the Government,
that the offence laid in the informations was bailable,
he would proceed to Nenagh forthwith and execute the
necessary bail bonds, so as to set Mr. Doheny at liberty
till such time as he should be called upon to appear at
the assizes. Early on the morning of Thursday, ac-
companied by a division of police, under Sub-Inspector
Morgan, and a company of the 59th Regiment of Foot,
under Captain Ring, Mr. Doheny was conveyed from
Roscrea en rouse to the North Riding County Prison at
Nenagh. On the arrival of Mr. Doheny in Nenagh,
the streets were thronged, and as the carriage with its
escort made its appearance, a continuous succession
of loud and hearty cheers were given for Mr. Doheny,
who, from the windows of the vehicle, acknowledged
the favours bestowed upon him by the people. About
half-past twelve o'clock the carriage reached the county
gaol, and after standing a few seconds on the steps of
the carriage, Mr. Doheny entered the gates of the prison,
where he was given in charge to Mr. Rock, the gover-
nor; and the crowd, having given further hearty cheers,
separated. We should state that offers of bail were
made in the most friendly manner to Mr. Doheny in the
event of Mr. Prittie's promise of attending for that pur-
pose in Nenagh."

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
ROSCOMMON, JULY 13.—CoNvicriox OF ONE OF THE
MURDERERS uF MAJOR MAHON.—The Attorney-Gene-
ral's exertions here to bring the persons guilty of the
murder of Major Mahon am. the 11 Mr. Lloyd to con-
digit punishment, promise to eventuate must tuccess-
fully. The class of jurors summoned to attend the
Crown Court are amongst the most respectable in this
county. After twenty gentlemen were challenged ley
the prisoner's agent, one of the murderers of Major
Mahon, Patrick Hasty, was yesterday convicted of the
crime, under an indictment for conspiracy, eleven of the
jury being Catholics, aid only two jurors put aside by
the Crown. To-day's proceedings will most probably
close with the conviction of Thomas Commins, an accom-
plice of Hasty'v.
The sheriff is entitled to the highest praise for his ar-
rangements respecting jurors. All the records (ten in
number) have brcn disposed cf, and Judge Jsckson
now assisting in the trials f prisoners.
Roscommox, JULY 14.—Baron Lefroy entered the
court this day at ten o'clock. The jury in James Com-
mons' case, for the conspiracy to murder Major Mahon,
who were locked up ail night, having been called out, and
asked by the Clerk of the Crown had they agreed, the
Foreman said they had nut, nor was it likely that they
would agree were they to be locked up for twenty ynitre.
The Foreman, Mr. Oliver Irwin, having stated to
Baron Lefroy that his life would be endangered by re•
maining in any longer, Doctor Shauley, having been
directed by the judge to examine Mr. Irwin, stated to
the Court that his life would be endangered if kept any
longer in confinement; upon which the Court discharged
the jury.
_

THE MURDER O' MR. LLOYD.—Owen Beirne awl
Michael Beirne, having been placed at the bar, were
arraigned for a conspiracy to murder the Rev. John
Lloyd, in October last; but the counsel for the prisoners
having refused to join in their challenges, Owen Beirne
was then placed at the bar. There were five counts laid
in the indictment. The long panel having been called
over, the following jury was sworn :—Jonn Freeman,
foreman; Philip Hay, William Powell, David O'Nlalleo,
Malachy Fallon, William Lancaster, Dominick
William Harrison, Patrick M‘Donnell, Samuel Hudson,
Walter Bourke, and john Fallon .

The ATTORNEY•GENERAL opened the case on behalf
of the Crown. Having examined six witnesses, the
Crown closed.

Mr. WALTER BURKR then addressed the jury on be-
half of the prisoner. His address went to impeach the
witnesses produced for the Crown. There was no evi-
dence or witnesses produced for the defence.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then reptied,
Baron LEFROY having charged the jury at some length,
they retired to their own room, and, after a few minutes,
returned with a verdict of Guilty.
Judge Jackson is sitting in the Record Court, trying
some of the other prisoners.
LIMERICK, THURSDAY.—MURDER OF M4INERT.—
Denis Ryan and James Doyle were indicted for the
murder of John M'lnery,; at Adamstown. ThiA was
the same case for which Gorman was convicted on
Tuesday last, end for which two others have been
executed. The same witnesses were examined as
on the former trials. Tho jury returned a verdict of
Acquittal.

THE KELLY'S AND THE O'KELLY'S ; OR, LANDLORDS
AND TENANTS, a Tale of Irish Life. By A. Trollope,
Esq. Wo like this novel (says the Athenxitni) betttr
than Mr. Trollops's former one, because, though not
more powerful, it is less painful. Its pages are animated
by characters distinguished from mere virtues and vices.
Humour pervades its scenes, and it is the true " emerald"
humour, as incomparable after its kind as the genuine
potato spirit battled with by the apostle of temperance.
Widow Kelly is Irish to the backbone, in her triumphant
scolding and unselfish generosity. There is a touch of
the unfeigned Hibernian jontleman in Lord Ballandine ;
and Dot Blake shows us that even so cosmopolite a sci-
ence as gambling takes a local colour from the Curracb,
the Bois de Boulogne, or the l)owns at Epsom. Then,
though they are less national, Lord and Lady Cashel are
a pair whom Miss Austen need not have disowned.
