DESTITUTION IN DONEGAL.
DUnLIN, DEC. 27.—1 n this extensive •lorthern county
there are no manufactures worth naming, and pauperism
is as general its in some of the worst circumstanced
districts of the south and west. On many of the large
estatrs firms tern minutely subdivided, so that a
larger . portion of the occupiers are mere cottiers,
holding from one to five acres. It is upon this
class that the destruction of the potato crop has operated
moat severely. They have lost their usual means of sub-
sistence—their little oat crops have either been sold to
pay the rent, or eaten by their families to stave off star.
nation, and il.ey :ire in consequence utterly destitute, as
there are few resident gentlefnen to form a relief corn-
mittees, or otherwise to promote measures for relief and
employment.
The Belfast Vindicator contains the following repre-
sentations respecting the condition of ore district in that
county:—

" tie ripnaorial which we subjoin, from the Catholic
and Protestant clergy of the parish of Inismacsaint,
in the barony of T) rhugh, discloses a fact which one
could scircely cred►t, were it nat so respectably authen-
ticated. Distress was so urgent, that a presentment
sessions was held in Donegal, for the barony of Tyr-
hugh, on the 26th of last September, and 2,8001.
were then voted, to give immediate employment in the
parish of Inisinacsaint, yet not one shilling has yet been
expend,al in that pariah. We will let the memorial
speak for itadf:—.

" To HIS EXCELLENCY JOHN EARL OF DESEOROUGH,

LIEUTENINT•CEYERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR

OF lIIELAND.
" The respectful Memorial of the Catholic and Pro-
testant Clergy, parish of Inismacsaint, barony of
Tyrhugh, and county of Donegal,
" ' Humbly shosveth,—That distress, to an alarming
extent, prevails in this parish; that one-third, at least,
of the inhabitants have patiently subsisted, during the
last six weeks, on one meal a day, expecting daily to
be employed on public works ; and although money,
to the amount of 2,8001., had been voted by the magis-
trates • and associated eesspayers, at the presentment
sessions, held in Donegal on the 26th of September last,
for the purpose of giving immediate employment to the
distressed of this parish ; yet, for want of the works
having been put into operation, not one shilling has been
received by them as yet, whilst employment has been
afforded in all the neighbouring parishes.
" Your memorialists further state, that Lieutenant
Milward, one of the officers employed in this county by
the Board of Works, called here in the course of this
week; but his stay being short (owing, we suppose, to
pressure of business in other parts of the county), was
only calculated to add discontent and disappointment to
the alarming distress that already prevailed, in conse-
quence of his not giving employment to more that sixty
of our poor parishioners.

" li)ur 'memorialists, deeply sympathising with our
poor distressed flocks, and alarmed at the awful con-
sequences that must necessarily ensue from further de-
lay, beg leave most respectfully to request your Ex-
cellency to issue such instructions as will cause public
works to be put into operation in this parish, that will
be calculated to give employment to all who are in
distress ; and your memorialists, as in duty bound, will
ever pray.

" ' B. KELLY, P.P., Inismacsaint,
" F. KELAGHAN, C.C., ditto,
" JOHN DUNBAR, Minister of the Parish,
" Dec. 12, 1846.'

" ANSWER.

" ' Dublin Castle, Dec. 17, 1846.
" Sir,—l am directed by the Lord-Lieutenant to ac-
quaint you, for the information of the parties signing
the memorial forwarded by you on the 12th instant, that
the particular attention of the Board of Works has been
called to the state of the destitute in the parish of This-
macsaint.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient
servant. " T. N. REDINGTON.

" Rev. B. Kelly, P,P., Ballyshannon.'
" A reverend gentleman, writing to us from this
parish, states—' The people here are in great distress.'
From almost every barony and parish of the county,
complaints against the neglects and delays of officials
reach us. In the town and neighbourhood of Ramel-
ton there are over seven hundred families in a state of
misery and destitution, and only one hundred and
eighteen individuals have as yet received employment on
the public works Nine weeks ago presentment ses-
sions were held in Buncrana, yet not one individual in
that locality has obtained employment. The conse-
quence is that in one week twelve deaths occurred, prin-
cipally from want of food ! To render this most unac-
countable delay in the public work, not only in Ennis-
howen but Tyrhugh, more intolerable: to those who are
suffering by them, the works in the adjoining counties
are prosecuted with vigour."
In the Barony of Tyrhugh, above referred to, employ-
ment will soon become general, so far as the estate of
the Earl of Arran extends, that nobleman having made
the necessary arrangements for large advances from the
Boari of Works under the Summary Drainage Act, for
the improvement of his property. Mr. Hamilton, of St.
Ernans, also in the same barony, is about to commence
operations under that Act. If the landed proprietors
generally had had the prudence and forethought to avail
themselves of its provisions, the peasantry could have
been employed everywhere upon productive agricultural
works, and there would have been an immense saving
of expenditure for useless road making.
THE GUN TRADE.
There has been a good deal of most mischievous mis-
representation on the subject of the purchase of fire-
arms by the peasantry. It now appears from the most
authentic information, that the purchases have been
made almost altogether by the gently and farmers, from
an apprehension of attempts at plunder by the destitute
peasantry. This "gun trade" is, in fact, only another
evidence of the terrible condition of the poor.
The Drogheda Argus thus disposes of a recent story
about the sale of arms" in that town :
" We perceive that the Times has published, on the
authority of the Drogheda Conservative, a statement
that two cart-loads of fire-arms were sold by auction, at
the fair in this town, on the 17th inst., and such was the
avidity with which they were sought that men with
scarcely a coat to their back became purchasers. These
are gross falsehoods. The whole quantity of arms ex-
posed for sale was contained in a box which could be
lifted by one man. It was certainly placed on the cart
upon which the auctioner stood as a platform, and the
entire number sold did not, we believe, exoced four
pieces, of which the purchasers were small farmers;
certainly not one was bought by any person of the
pauper class, as the Conservative would vilely insinuate.
" The sales made by the respectable hardware mer-
chants of Drogheda (three of whom out of four are
Conservatives), have been to those who have property to
defend, and to respectable persons for sporting purposes.
" We notice this matter because the natural conse-
quence of the foul calumny, published by the Conserva-
tive, would be to prevent all persons at a distance from
contributing towards the removal of the destitution which
unfortunately prevails in Drogheda and the neighbour.
hood around."
EMPLOYMENT OF THE NAVY IN THE PRO-

VISION TRADE.
The Northern Whig, a moderate and sensible journal,
thus earnestly urges the employment of ships of war in
the conveyance of grain from America, to supply the
great dacteticy in the mercantile marine. Some weaks
since the Dublin Evening Post and the Mercantile Adver-
tiser suggested a sinaitiar step, and more recently the
committee of landlords have followed up the recommen-
dation :

" If the suspension of the navigation laws, in so far as
the present emergency requires, should not be suffizient,
all the available resources of our navy ought to be put
in requisition. Already Government ships have been
used fur conveying provisions to several parts of Ireland;
and why should they not be used for carrying provisions
from America, for instance, where the supplies are
greatest? It need not be required that they be given
gratis. Indeed that would not be thought of unless the
Government were to become importers, which they hive
properly declined. Le', a number of Government vessel•
be made available to merchants, to be chartered at the
ordinary rates; and in this way the treasury will stiffer
nothing, but rather gain something, whilst the public
will be benefited by the more abundant importation of
provisions. If the chief purpose of our great navy be,
to form a defence of our country, it will be• legitimately
employed in aiding to protect us against the most ter-
rible enemy by which we have ever been assailed. Two
other remedies are obvious, and have been repeatedly
pressed upon the attention of the Government. These
are—first, the opening of the ports,, and, second, the ad
mission of foreign articles for the Use of distilleries and
breweries, Oth•T remedies will be suggested. The
Government must, an will do all they can; and, all
having; been done which men can do (if we will only
stand up, wortiii;y, and not crouch and grovel, and whine'.
like spite tl, as er, uturts) we must make up our minds to
stand or fail, as rnsy be, but as becomes men;---we tray
not have it, in our Duo, er to escape the scourge of famine,
but we may at le-ast struggle manfully, and bear with
courage."

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

DUBLIN, DEC. 28.—The weekly meeting of the Asso-
ciation, held this thy, was rather numerously attended.
On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL the chair was taken
by the non. Cull Lawless.
The CulramArt briefly addressed the meeting. lie ex-
pressed his intention of dev.taing the little experience he
possessed to the service of his country, and trusted it
might prove useful. When he contemplated the present
condition of the country, he was obliged to confess that
there was but a poor prospect of a happy new year for
Ireland. lie had read of the state of destitution to which
beleaguered towns had been reduced, but he did net be-
lieve that in the history of human destitution anything
could approach the appalling misery which at the pre-
sent, moment existed in his native land.—(Hear, hear.)
To the Union, in his mind, were those miserable results
to be attributed.—(Hear.) The Union was aptly de-
scribed by Lord Byron, who called it the Union of the
shark with its prey. Looking then upon the Union as
the cause of the manifold evils of the country, it could
not be wondered that he was associated with those who
were endeavouring to effect its repeal.---(Cheers.) He
did not mean to charge the present Government, or any
particular Government, with creating this state of things,
but he would fearlessly assert that if they had a home
Government the existing crisis would hare been antici-
pated.—(Hear, hear.) John Bull, though full of the
noblett qualities, at all times exhibited a selfish spirit
with regard to nations with which he was connected. It
was that spirit which lost him the American colonies,
which, had his conduct been otherwise than it was, would
have rendered those colonies thoeharim), aTt

might suffer. And was a trifling loss to the national
exehequer to be put in competition with the lives of the
people. The English press had been vaunting of the
great libcralty and munifieenca of England, in making
its advances to relieve Irish distress ; but it ought to be
t orne in mind that there was very valuable security for
these advances.—(hear, hear.) In conclusion, the Chair-
man expressed a hope that the Association e ould work
out its end ; and he congratulated the meeti ,g that there
was a growing spirit of nationality springing up amongst
those who had been heretofore its most strenuous oppo-
nents.—(Cheers.)
The SECRETARY having read the minutes of the last
day's proceedings,
Mr. O'CONSELL handed in a number of remittances,
including the renewed subscription of a freeholder of
the county Meath, who required to know why Henry
Grattan, M.f., the representative of the county, had
not latterly attended to his duties in Conciliation Hall.
In answer to that interrogatory, he (Mr. O'Connell)
would reply, that he believed illness alone prevented
him from being amongst them.—(Hear.) He was sure
the genius of Grattan was present in that hall.—(llean)
Mr. STEELE read the following notes of the reply of
Mr. O'Connell, at the conference, on the subject of the
point of constitutional law involving the safety of the
Repeal Association:—
Mr. O'Connell seemed to expect that James Naughton
would be, but Dillon was, spokesman, and his manner
was not merely unexceptionable, but most courteous and
respectful.
As the Liberator rigorously refused any discussion
of any point whatever until the law point was decided,
although several efforts were made to alter his resolu-
tion, I rigorously restrict this note to that point and to
that alone.
Mr. Dillon, after expressions of compliment to Mr.
O'Connell, uttered in the most courteous and gentle.
manly manner, saying that the seceders "considered Mr.
O'Connell, and him alone, the person fit to be the poli-
tical leader of Ireland;" and after declaring there was
nothing in the world which they (viz., the seceders) were
so anxious for as for reconciliation, he expressed his firm
,assurance that there was nothing in the world which Mr.
O'Connell was so anxious for as the same.
The Liberator responded serenely in these ever memo-
rable words:—
" The tenor of my whole life gives proof of my anxiety
for conciliation of Irishmen ; but when you say there is
nothing in the world for which I am so anxious as for a
reconciliation, now you are greatly mistaken. I am
infinitely more anxious for the safety of the Association.
and that safety cannot be assured until Mr. S. O'Brien
lays aside that sword which he has been flourishing in
his letter from Limerick.
" DJ you forget, or do you not know, that bills,
charging us with high treason, were prepared and sent up
to be found by the grand jury ?
" The bills were sent up rather late, at about half after
three o'clock, and the grand jury had separated and could
not be brought together on that day.
" Sugden and Brewster went together that evening to
the Vice-regal Lodge, and the question was discussed
with the Lord-Lieutenant, and, I believe, that it was on
the suggestion of Sugden that the charge of high-treason
was abandoned.
" Had the grand jury not separated, the bills charging
us with high treaon would have been found quite as soon
as the others, and the verdict of the other jury proves
what would have been the result of such a finding.
" Under these circumstances, and with such an ex-
ample before me, am I not bound to watch vigilantly
over the safety of the Association ?"
Mr. O'Cosireem, then rose to address the Associa-
tion, and was received with loud cheers. He said his
address should be brief—his words should be few ; for
his mind was oppressed too strongly by the intelli-
gence hourly reaching him, to enable him to have the
heart or spirit to say much.—(Hear, hear.) He was
frightened at the state of the country, and doubly so,
because he did not think that others were not frightened
enough.—(Hear, hear.) Food was wanting—foed was
insufficient in supply. The people were starving ; and
even if they had the money they could not procure
food in many localities. There never was a country in
such danger as Ireland at the present moment. And
talking of the affairs of the Association, they dwindled
into miserable insignificance when compared with
the horrors of the state of the people. Much distress
existed in the north of Ireland. There was great dise
tress in Leinster, almost the whole of Munster was starv-
ing, and Connaught, he grieved to add, was in the same
awful predicament (hear, hear). He was horrified at the
species of apathy which he saw surrounding him ; they
were setting up committee and all that sort of thing, but
something on a large and comprehensive scale should be
done, or the people would inevitably starve.—(Hear,
hear.) It would not do to have soup shops merely. He
was certainly not opposed to them, on the contrary.
Let soup shops be established in every locality where it
could be convenient to do so, but the calamity was a na-
tional one, and required a national and a comprehensive
remedy.—(Cheers.) Salus populi suprerna lex was an
adage perfectly true at all times ; but it had all the force
and energy of sueh conviction at the present moment.—
(Hear, hear.) Something should be done on a grand
scale. He (Mr. O'Connell) had been laughed at, because
he made his proposal—he cared not for their laught,:r—
he did not think any adequate proposal had been made
except his.—(Bear, hear.) His plan was to bring to-
gether the landed proprietors of Ireland. Since the
month of September last, he had been urging that subject
on the attention of the people. Delusions, not inten-
tionally, but practically delusive steps had been taken.
However, there was still an opening for the adoption of
his plan. There was still a period offered for the meet-
ing. The meeting in the Music-hall on Wednesday
last, resolved on calling a meeting for the 6th of January.
He (Mr. O'Connell) wanted to know, would the gentry
of Ireland come together on that day ?—(Hear, hear.)
At that meeting they formed committees, one a metro•
politan committee, to which he had the honour of belong-
ing. Of course, whatever assistance he could give, was
at the service of his country.—(Cheers.) It was a small
thing to offer, but it would be still less were he to con-
fine these efforts to committees.—(Hear, hear.) He hal
purpose'y restricted himself in interfering in that matter
Hitherto in the association, but the time for ceremony,
and delicacy, and apprehension of every kind was gone.
The people were starving, and would starve by thousands
and hundreds of thousands. He was not exaggerating.
He was speaking literally the truth. They would starve
by hundreds of thousands if the gentry of Ireland did
not rally together, and adopt a remedy of sufficient mag-
nitude to meet the terrible magnitude of the evil.—
(Cheers.) From every quarter the cry of hunger was
raised Cork, the county he represented, one-fourth
of the inhabitants of a district in the neighbourhood of
Skibbereen were in their graves—as the result of the
present famine.—(Sensation.) The rest of the county
is in a state of the greatest starvation—the price of food
was hourly increasing, and although the government
were employing the people at an expense of nearly one
million a month, yet the price of provisions was rela-
tively so much higher than the rate of wages, that the
people were still starving and struggling with want.
I'he wages were inadequate to the price of food. Food
was daily becoming clearer, and notwithstanding that
lessons of political o conomy were daily read from the
Castle, the people were actually starving and perishing
by hundreds, and dying the horrible death of hunger.—
(Cheers.) It was a hideous thing to think of ; he
would, at all events, free his own mind from any respon-
sibility. He would say—Liberati animam means.—
(Cheers.) He would call upon the gentry of Ireland to
arouse themselves. Let them not imagine that he had
any desire to involve them in any agitation for a repeal
of the union by any trick or dexterity. He did not
mean any such thing. He wanted them to come together
end to see whether it were possible to do anything for
Ireland without repeal. If they could do anything for
Ireland ; if they could do any thing to save the people
without repeal he would go with them, and not ask
them to go one step beyond such limits. If they could
not do it, he would not ask them to move one
step at all. But something should be done for Ireland.
That was the first and greatest consideration.—(Cheers.)
What was his plan ? If the landlords came together on
the 6th of January, and combined manfully for the re•
lief of the country, he would propose that they should
insist upon the English Government raising a loan of
30,000,000 or 40,000,000/. as an increase to the national
debt, to be paid for by the interest provided by the usual
ways and means. That was his plan. To augment the
national debt by the sum he had mentioned in order to
ransack the world for food, and buy it up at any price.
—(Cheers.) Yes, that was his plan. He was sneered
et and laughed at because he had suggested such a plan,
hut he would demonstrate that England, since the union,
owed Ireland 60,000,0001.—actually 60,000,0001.—50
that they had been defrauded of that sum. They might
laugh as they pleased, but when they laughed and sneered
at him for making such a proposition, he would remind
them that at the time of the union, Ireland owed but
20,000,0001, and England owed 446,000,000. He wished
he meeting to mark the difference; and how, he asked,
could anything be more unjust than to make Ireland
liable for half the 446,000,000, one penny of which they
did not owe, and one penny of which they would not
owe if they had an Irish Parliament.—(Cheers.) They
were perfectly willing to pay their own debt, and even
in the worst of times, if not cramped and crushed by
the blighting union, would have been able to pay it.—
(Hear, hear.) He woull remind the English press which
so cautiously and studiously avoided all mention of that
fact, that the debt had been since increased to
800,000,000, and the English Parliament had continued
to saddle Ireland with an undue proportion. If at the
time of the union, the Irish debt were only 20,000,000/s
and that of England 446,000,000/., it was reasonable to
expect that the debt of England having since increased
to nearly doubly the amount, the increase of the Irish
debt would have been iii the same ratio. Why did not
the English press take notice of that fact? It was one
that could not be denied, and it was one which marked
as strongly as any other feature, the accursed effects of
the legislative union.--(Cheers.) It' two men were get-
ting into partnership, one owing 20,0001, 'end the other
nearly half a million, could anything be more ludicrous
than that the man owing the large amount should'lsay
to the other, " I will take you into partnership, and
make myself liable beside for half your debt of twenty
thousand?" " Why, you are very generous and good,"
would be the natural reply. " Yes, but if," he added,
" you must make yourself liable for half my 446 thou-
sand," would not the natural impulse be to kick such a
dishonest man out?"—(Laughter.) The principle was
the same. That was precisely the way as regarded the
financial robbery of Ireland by England. That was the
position of the two countries.—(Hear.) England should
not flatter herself they forgot or forgave it. To for-
give it they were ready, if she came forward to save
the country ; but forget, they never could, till they
had a Parliament in College-green to take the seal
off the bond.—(Loud cheers.) The Hon Gentle-
man then adverted to the secession from the association,
and repeated what he had so frequently urged on the
subject. He commented on the. obstinacy of Mr. Smith
O'Brien in refusing to agree to a conference to decide
the " legal question," which formed the sole matter of
dispute between the seceders and the association. It
'WWI note itOROTOrp SO be wondered that Mr. Smith

O'Brien should prove so pertinacious, when it is recol-
le.tted with what obstinacy he opposed the entreaties of
the Irish on the question of atteneance on Parliamentary
committees. In spite of every entreaty he pc,rsisted,
and the consequmic was that he got locked up in jail.
lie did not go there in vindication of any public prin-
ciple, but solely to indulge a whim of fancy, and for his
pains he was laughed at by the whole House of Com-
mons. The present was the last occasion on which he
should advert to the " secession" or the seceders. It

appeared as if Mr. Smith O'Brien was walking in the
steps of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, who had rained the
reform party by his inculcation of the principles of
physical force. But he would assure Mr. O'Brien that
he should not destroy the Repeal Association by any
such means. The Association now stood on a fair and
intelligible basis, which he trusted the machinations of
the evil disposed would never he able to shake. In con-
clusion, he announced that it was the intention of the
Association, before the end of the week, to issue an
address to the people to give up all force and violence,
and to abstain from plundering property, and interfering
with the transmission of provisions from place to place.
Mr. J. MOLLOY, barrister, read the following petition
to the Legislature on the subject of Irish distress ;
" The petition of the undersigned members of the Loyal

National Repeal AssOCiation of Ireland,
" Humbly ahoweth,—That in this, the 46th year of
the union, life and property in Ireland are rendered in-
secure by distress and destitution of the most appalling
nature, the horrors of which are aggravated from the
consciousness that none but an Irish Parliament can be
expected to have the local knowledge and intimate local
interest riquisito for devising adequate means of relief.
" Thatfor eight months to elapse, until the harvest of
1847 relieves their immediate wants, 4,000,000 of the
Irish people must be mainly supported upon the grain
supplies imported from foreign countries, or the British
colonies ; and that the Executive does not appear to
have as yet estimated and provided against the deficiency
of food for such a lengthened period.
" That the merchants of Great Britain and Ireland
cannot procure sufficient freightage to transport the re-
quisite supply of bread-stuffs to the Irish ports.
" That the suspension of the navigation laws, prohi-
biting importation in foreign bottoms, would do much
to supply the deficiency in tonnage requisite for the
transport.
That several of her Majesty's frigates and war-
steamers, now lying idle in dock or elsewhere, might be
usefully freighted for that purpose, with the collateral
advantage to the state of keeping able seamen in em-
ployment.

1- That the Lords of the Treasury should purchase and
store food at convenient depots, such food to be trans-
mitted with dispatch to the districts where food has
risen to famine prices.
" Therefore your petitioners humbly pray that the
navigation laws be forthwith suspended, and that such
vessels of her Majesty's navy as shall be deemed requi-
site for the purpose shell be made available to the mer-
cantile interest, or in their default to the Lords of the
Treasury, for the prompt importation of the required
supplies of food, and that depots thereof be formed at
convenient places for sale below famine prices, in order
to mitigate, in so far as human efforts may, the fearful
calamity with which it has pleased Divine Providence,
for its own wise purposes, to afflict Ireland.
" An I your petitioners will ever pray."
Mr. Jonbr O'ComsELL, M P., in bringing up a second
report of the Parliamentary Committee, took occasion to
advert to the very laudable anxiety which existed to lay
the foundation of a peasant proprietary in Ireland, The
Morning Chronicle had assumed that the former report
of Captain Broderick should bellooked upon as the mani-
festo of the association on the subject, to which every
member of it should consider himself pledged. In prais-
ing a considerable portion of that report, the Morning
Chronicle complained that it did not go far enough in its
recommendations as to what was to be done with the
waste lands. But that report was merely the first of a
series, and did not profess to dispose of the matter en-
tirely. The Honourable Gentleman reiterated the de-
mand of Mr. O'Connell for a loan of 30,000,000/. insist.
ing that, in strict justice, England ought to confer that
sum as a gift on Ireland, in consideration of the finan •
cial injustices committed on her since the Union.
At the conclusion of the proceedings the rent for the
week was announced to be 571. 7s. 4d.
The meeting then adjourned.

THE LATE TREASURY MINUTE.
LETTER OF MR. MORE O'FERRALL, ALP.
The Dublin Evening Post says :—The following is
the letter alluded to in the Treasury Minute of the Ist
of December, addressed to Colonel Jones by Mr. R.
More O'Ferrall, M.F. :

"Dublin, Nov. 9, 1846.
" Sir—l address you, as First Commissioner of Public
Works, on a subject relating to the reproductive em-
ployment of the labouring classes, although the decision
of the question with which I shall conclude belongs ex-
clusively to her Majesty's Government. That decision
may be influenced by your report on the validity of the
grounds which I allege in favour of my views, and,
therefore, it may save time to address the Government
through you.
" The magistrates, rate-payers, and principal pro-
prietors of the barony of Carbery, county of Kil-
dare, having, at meetings assembled by public no-
tice, taken into consideration the several Acts
passed in the last session of Parliament for
the promotion of employment among the labour.
ing classes, and having given full consideration to Mr.
Labouehere's letter, unanimously resolved to act under
the 9th Vic. cap. 4, commonly called the provision for
summary proceedings to facilitate drainage, which was
passed, as stated in the words of the title, To afford
facilities for Increased Employment for the Labouring
Classes in Works of Drainage during the present year.'
It received the royal assent on the sth of March, 1846,
and expires in August, 1647. I request your attention to
the words of the 45th clause—' And whereas, by reason
of the failure or destruction of a portion of the potato
crop of the last season in Ireland, there is reason to ap-
prehend that in certain districts great distress may,
during the ensuing spring and summer, prevail among
the labouring classes of the population, and it is expe-
dient, wit the view to alleviate such distress, by provi-
sions of a more summary nature than hereinbefore con-
tained, to give for part of the present year increased
facilities and powers for commencing, without delay, and
carrying on various works of utility connected with the
drainage and improvement of lands in such districts,
whereby remunerative employment may be afforded to
the labeuring classes. Be it therefore enacted, &e., &e.'
"It appeared to the meetings that this Act was ad
mirably framed to effect the object of speedy and remu-
nerative employment ; that under its provisions pro-
perty would be better protected; that public loans would
be better secured, and greater facility afforded for re-
payment of principal and interest than by the plan pro-
posed for reproductive employment—by drainage and
sub-soiling, under the terms of Mr. Lahouchere's letter,
That the provisions of the. Act of Parliament being
clear and precise, no delay could arise from mistakes of
form, and no impediment intervene from want of suffi-
cient authority, and, consequently, that the unemployed
would be sooner set to work than if we held sessions
under the 9th and 10th Vic., cap. 107, commonly called
The Useless Employment Act.' At each of the meet-
ings above referred to, a number of applications under
the 9th Vic., cap. 4, were signed and transmitted toyour
office, amounting to 21, for opening the main outfalls of
all the lands of the barony, which comprises 38,352
arable statute acres.

" You are aware that the barony of Carbery is
bounded by the rivers Boyne and Blackwater, and that
the latter has been opened under the provisions of the
sth and 6th Vic., cap. 89, at an expense under 10,000 L,
and that the Boyne is now in progress on an estimate of
26,0001.

" The object of the proprietors is, therefore, to take
advantage of the means to improvement afforded by
these two great works, and by opening up the small tri •
butaries through every part of the barony, to enable all
the laid to be thorough drained to a depth of three feet.
The great impediment to drainage hitherto in flat coun-
tries, has been the want of sufficient outfall, or the power
to maintain it if once estublished.

" The drainage Acts of the sth and 6th Victoria, cap.
89, and 9th Victoria, cap. 4, have fully and beneficially
supplied these advantages—the latter of which cannot
be obtained for drainages executed under Mr. Labou-
chcre's later.

" Many thousands of pounds have been wasted on
drainage in Ireland from the want of co-operation on an
extended scale to maintain the outfalls.
" Unfounded apprehensions prevailed as to the ex-
pense of works executed under the Board of Works,
which the experience of the works ou the Blackwater in
some measure removed, and a disposition prevails to
have the smaller works executed under the same super-
interdenee. The high rate of interest charged for loans
under the 9th Vic., cap. 4. still offers some impediment ;
hut I have strong hopes that when the proprietors con-
sider calmly the amount of expenciture proposed, ?can -
pared with the benefits to be conferred, they will give a
ready assent to most, if not all, the works now under
survey. You will observe that the sinking of the outfalla
is only a preparatory work to the large and useful under-
taking of thorough drainage.
" The sinking of the outfalls, if generally assented to,
may occupy our surplus labour about six months ; but
the thorough drainage will afford employment for some
years with large profit, when conducted under a proper
system.

" There are many matters of an engineering and agri-
cultural character which will require close and careful
consideration before we can undertone the rough drain-
age on a large scale ; and, therefore, it is desirable to
make all necessary inquiries while the outfalls are in
progress, to enable us to come to a satisfactory decision
without unnecessary loss of time.
" If thorough-drainage is carried on simultaneously
on each estate, the charge for the best professional advice
will amount to a small contribution from each proprietor.
Tile manufacturers, of skill and experience, will be in•
duced to establish works by the large and constant de-
mand, and can afford to sell them at a very moderate
price, from the low cost at which peat fuel can he sup-
plied, which will again afford employment for a class of
labour unsuited to the more skilled operations of thorough
drainage. A system of general employment and improve-
ment will tend to establish a market value for labour in
the district, according to its quality, raising the intelli-
gent and industrious man from a class in which there is
no emulation, because there has hitherto been no reward.
The price of labour will rise according to its quality;
the farmers can afford to pay for it like any other com-
modity which is high or low in price, according to its
quality and supply. There will be, I trust, a constant
and growing demand throughout the country for well-
instructed foremen drainers; and in this way, by being
early in the field of improvement, I trust our barony
will be able to dispose of the growing stock of labour,
without resorting to those means of compulsion which
has .brought discredit on Irish proprietors, and accumu-
lated misery on the poor.
" The effects of individual.proprietors in improvement
are necessarily Tery limited. There is a point at which

individual exertion must cease.- Public opinion exercises
a great influence for good or evil. If opinion does riot
keep pace with individual efforts, they cannot be long
sustained. To fl; is cause I attribute much of the apathy
which is said to pfevail among Irish pron rie:ors ; great
efforts have been made by individuals, andi they have too
often ended in disappointment from want of public
sympathy.

" I agree with those who complain that Irish proprie-
tors look too much to Government for aid ; but on the
other hand, they have just reason to complain that the
laws intended to aid their exertions are so imperfectly
framed as to lead them into difficulties and impede their
efforts at moments of the greatest pressure. It is with
reference to this subject in particular that I now ad-
dress you.

" I have stated the general desire that pr.vails to sink
the outfalls of the barony, under the 9th Vic., cap. 4,
which it is desirable to follow up by a general thorough
drainage. It is true that applications for thorough
drainage may be made under the provisions of the 9th
Vic., cap. 4 ; but under that Act money has seldom
been obtained under 5 per cent. interest, though the
Treasury are empowered to advance it at any rnte of in-
terest they think fit.

" The Act. 9 Vic., cap. 101, was intended as
a boon to landed proprietors. It authorised an advance
of money at 3i per cent. interet, and 31. per cent. for
repayment of principal in 22 years ; but, unfortunately,
the Act is inoperative in this country through its de-
fects, and no steps can be taken to profit by the benevo-
lent intentions of the Legislature until the Act is
amended, unless the Treasury follow the example of Mr.
Labouchere, and assume similar responsibility.
" A difficulty suggested itself to me on the publication
of Mr. Labouchere s letter, which, I presume, has been
overcome in some manner unknown to me, otherwise I
would not venture to propose an issue from the million
voted for drainage under the provisions of 9th and 10th
Vic., cap. 101, to be expended under the provisions of
the 9th Vic., cap. 4.
"The difficulty appears to me increased under the in-
struction issued on the 3d November, by which it is di-
rected that the sessions shall decide by resolution whe-
ther they will proceed strictly under the 9th and 10th
Vic., cap. 107, or under Mr. Labouchere's letter. If
the works are executed under Mr. Labouchere's letter,
they .cannot be paid for out of money appropriated by
Parliament, to be expended under the provisions of 9th
and 10th Vic., cap. 107, so far as I know the provisions
of the Appropriation Act ; but if this difficulty
has been overcome, and the money appropriated
to be paid under an Act of Parliament can be paid on a
Minister's letter, there is stronger ground for presuming
that money appropriated to be expended under the pro-
visions of 9th Vic., cap. 191, may be authorised to be
advanced under the provisions of 9th and 10th Vic., cap.
4, both being Drainage Acts.
" From your experience as Chairman of the Board of
Works, you are fully aware of the delay and inconve-
niences arising from the defects of the Million Act,
which cannot be amended for some months ; may I,
therefore, hope you will represent the facts to her Ma-
jesty's Government, and inform me of their decision at
your earliest conveaience—namely, whether they will
direct advances to be made from the million voted for
drainage in Ireland on the terms specified in the 9th and
10th Vic., cap. 4.

I have the honour to be your obedient servant,

TREATMENT ofJEWS in HANOVER

IN 1846.

An act of barbarity has recently been perpetrated in
Germany against a Jew, which, to a certain extent, is
unparalleled in modern history. We call it unparalleled,
because it did not proceed from a frantic mob, but from
a deliberate Government—because it did not originate
in a heated populace, but was executed under cover of
the law. We abridge the melancholy particulars from
Der Jude:—

" Shulm Moses, a Jew about fii.ty years of age, was a
native of Germany, but his father having died in his
infancy, and he himself having with his mother (who
married a second time) led a wandering life for many
years, he could never ascertain his birth-place. He
subsequently settled in the kingdom of Hanover, married,
and became the father of three children. Haviog in the
spring of last year come under judicial examinatior, he
could not prove his country, and thus became, as it is
termed in the German law, homeless. Shulm, after a
fortnight's imprisonment, was released, receiving orders
to leave the country, and under penalty of corporeal
punishment, never more to enter it. No regard was
paid to his representation that having been settled in the
country for nearly half a century, and not knowing his
native country, the neighbouring Governments would
send Lim to the states whence he came, viz., Hanover.
He was first sent into the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg,
the authorities of which immediately sent him back to
Hanover. Having thus, though involuntarily, returned
into the country, the penalty of corporeal punishment
was inflicted, and he himself then sent into the neigh-
bouring duchy of Brunswick. The authorities returned
him again into Hanover, and the poor wretch underwent
a second time the degrading punishment for an involun-
tary act. Upon this he was sent into Prussia, but again
returned, and was again punished. It was a heart-
rending scene to behold the miserable Shulm in the
midst of the winter, on foot, laden with the few things
he still possessed, hunted about by the authorities from
place to place, and followed on foot by his wife. with a
babe at her breast, and two little children, one of five and
the other of four years old. At last, when no country
would receive him, he was kept in custody at Hoya, in
Hanover. It was in vain that a humane lawyer, Opper•
man, applied for him to the Diet of Frankfort : he re-
ceived no answer, and equally unsuccessful at first was
the application of Shulm to Government for means to
enable him to go to America. His benefactor then opened
a subscription, when the public showed itself more
humane than the Government. The latter, however, at
last came forward, and the miserable wretch was enabled
to embark at Bremen for America. Throughout the
whole transaction it is not the people of Hanover, but the
Government, that has behaved most inhumanly."— The
Voice of Jacob.

THE LATE DAVID BOOTH, ESQ.
The death of this gentleman, at the house of his son-
in-law at Balgonie Mills, on the sth curt., was noticed
in the obituary of our last week's paper His connexion
with the county of Fife, as well as his literary pursuits,
call fora more extended notice at our hands.
Mr. Booth was born at Kinnettles, in Forfarshire, on
the 9th February, 1766, and was thus, at the time of hi
death, in his 81st year. He was entirely self-educated,
so much so, that he often spoke of his father
having only paid eighteenpence for his instruction,
being one quarter at the parish school. In the early
part of his life, he followed commercial pur-
suits, first in his native county, and afterwards in
Newburgh, in this county, whore he is still well remem-
bered as the occupant of the brewery at Woodside.
It was at Newburgh that his love of literature became
that passion which ever afterwards remained the master
one of his life. He bade adieu to his previous occu-
pations, and settled in London "a literary man." In
describing his life thereafter, we copy from a writing
he has left, " I am now (1843) in my 78th year, and
durins, more than fifty of these years, have been chiefly
employed in writing or in editing literary works.
Several of them have been tabular for the count-
ing-room, such as the Tradesman's Assistant' and
a' Ready Reckoner,' in 8vo.; and a volume of Interest
Table,' in 4to. Others of my works have been miscels
laneous, consisting of the Art of Wine Making,'' Re
views,'' Poems,' &c., the ' Art of Brewing,' published by
the Society for Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and the
Explanation of scientific Terms,' published by the same
society. The only works of mine that can be called politi-
cal are' A Letter to Malthus on the Comparative State-
ments of the Population of Great Britain in 1801, 1811,
and 1821,' and ' An Essay on the English Jury Laws.'
My chief literary pursuits, however, have been concern-
ing the English language, of which I have published a
Grammar,' and the Principles of English Coposition
kit the work in which I have built my fondest hopes dur-
ing the last fifty years, and of which one quarto volume
has been published, is entitled 'An Analytical Dictionary
of the English Language,' on a new plan of arrangemen,,
in which the words are explained in the order of their
natural affinity, or the signification of each traced from
its etymology, the present meaning being accounted
for when it differs from its former acceptation ; the
whole exhibiting, in one continued narrative, the
origin, history, and modern usage of the exist-
ing vocabulary of the English tongue. The portion
of the work already published comprehends nearly
one-half of the existing vocabulary, and I have mate-
rials collected sufficient to complete the work, if life be
spared me to carry them through the press." Shortly
after writing this notice, Mr. Booth was permanently
lsid aside from literary labours by repeated apoplectic
attacks, and the publication of his great work has never
been completed. We understand, however, that the
manuscript has been left by him in such a forward state,
as to afford good hope of the finished work being yet
laid before the public.—Fife Herald.

MURDER IN ALGERIA.—The Correctional Tribunal
of Phillippeville, in Algeria, was occupied on the 4th,
with the trial of four Arabs for the murder of M. Guieu,
contractor of works at the village of St. Antoine. It
app ared from the evidence that, in 1845, three natives
having been executed for the murder of two French
wood-cutters, the Arabs of the same tribe exclaimed,
loudly against the injustice of thus taking three lives for
two. In consequence they swore vengeance by eating a
piece of bread together, declaring that it was the salt
that bound them together to revenge their brothers.
On October 14, 1845, the prisoners and another man,
who afterwards escaped, hid themselves in a thicket,
close to the Constantine Road, and when the deceased
rode past, they fired at him; and, on his falling off his
horse, they seized on the animal and made offwith it.
A servant of the deceased, named Berthaud, came
up shortly after, and found his master expiring,
being just able to state what had occurred. On
the trial three of the prisoners did not attempt
to deny what they had done, but the fourth showed
that he had been in some measure constrained to
accompany the party. In consequence this man, named
Mesaaoud ben-Ali, was acquitted, whilst the other
three, Messaoud-ben-Suad, and Ahmed-ben-Sead, and
Abdallah-ben-Boucheliga, were condemned to death.
The same sentence was passed by default on Ali-Ben-
Anari, who has hitherto escaped arrest.—French Paw.
SINGULAR POLICE NOTICE.—The following sin-
gular information was on Tuesday circulated throughout
the divisions of the metropolitan and city police :—"P
Division, December 23, 1846. At 3 o'clock p.m., this
day, a coachman and footman, with carriage, set down at

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Matilda Boddington and Jenhin Hawhes were again
put to the bar on ste,picion of having stolen a bundle of
-male attire, which they were carrying across S.4lithtield,
about nine o'clock in the morning on Tuesday last.
Hawkes, who is a hairdresser, was attired as a woman
in a lavender and white dress, with a black veil and
black bonnet. He had ringlets of false hair hanging
about his temples, and looked exactly the character he
had assumed. Ile had been allowed to put on the coat
and trousers his companion was carrying, to see whether
they would fit him, but he was obliged to resume his
masquerading garb before he was put to the bar this
morning.
Alderman JOHNSON inquired if the policeman had
made any inquiry into the character of the prisoners.
The officer said he had, and he had found nothing to
their prejudice. Hawkes was carrying on business in
Bowling-green-lane, Clerkenwell, and was considered a
respectable man in the neighbourhood. The landlady of
the house where B iddington resided was present to
speak to her character.
Mrs. Slater, of Wingrove-place, St. John's-street, said
the prisoner had lodged in her house a fortnight, and
she had given her notice to quit on account of the late
hours she kept. As the room was not furnished she
was not required to give a reference. She had not been
guilty of any improper conduct in the house till this
affair oceurreil on Monday. She saw the young man
arrive in his proper dress, but he went away attired as a
woman with Miss Boddington. Ile changed his dress
in her room.
Mr. Alderman JOHNSON asked Mils Boddington how
she obtained her living ? The prisoner said she was
assisted by her friends, who lived in the country. She
had a sister residing at Fulham, but no other friends in
town.

Mr. sclderman JOHNSON said she had disgraced her-
self by joining in this adventure, and she must be very
careful for the future. He discharged her, and required
the barber to find a surety for his good behaviour for a
year.
His father, with some reluctance, became that surety.
The Court was occupied a considerable time in further
hearing a charge of feloniously stealing four plated can-
dlesticks, with snuffers and tray.
Mr. Alderman Johnson was assisted by Aldermen
Farebrother and Moon. Mr. Lock; one of the Common
Pleaders, attended with Mr. Jones, a solicitor, to sustain
the charge; and Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Moss, a solici-
tor, defended the accused, Messrs. Frederick and Edmund
Coleman, wine-merchants in Old Broad- street.
The previous evidence of Mr. Charles Green, of Assam
Villa, Forest-hill, was first read over, from which it ap-
peared that on the 15th instant a search-warrant was
issued, on the oath of Mr. Green, that the candlesticks
were lately stolen from his house, and were believed to
be lodged at Messrs. Col -men's. When Roe, the City
officer inquired for the articles they were given up to
him, and Messrs. Colrman appeared before the magis-
trate to account for the possession of the property which
they were then charged by Mr. Green with having stolen
from him. It appeared, that early in the present year
the two Colemans, with a friend named Perry, and Mr.
Green, agreed to rent and furnish Assam Villa, and live
together. Servants, food, &0., were to be put down to
the joint account, and each pay his fourth share at the
end of the year. Perry became a bankrupt, and the ac-
count to the end of July was found to be 4121. Mr.
Frederick Coleman seceded, as well as Mr. Perry ; but
Mr. Edmund Coleman continued to reside at the villa,
as well as Mr. Green. About the end of November, Mr.
Frederick Coleman called for a division of the plate,
which was of considerable value. Mr. Green resisted it
because he was liable for the rent of the house and debts
to the amount of 50/. ; and he locked up all the plate
in two cupboards in his bed room, each gentleman
having a separate room. One day Mr. Frederick
Coleman came down with a cart, and, in the absence
of Mr. Green, opened his cupboards, and carried off all
the plate, and all the furniture that was used in Perry's
room. Mr. Edmund Coleman was present, ,and assisted
in the removal of the property. Mr. Locke applied for
a search-warrant to seize and recover the whole of the
property, on the ground that it was a felonious taking
to enter a man's private room, unlock his cupboards, and
carry off what he might find there. If he had any right
in the property he must seek his legal remedy, and not
resort to lawless force. Mr. Alderman Moon granted a
warrant, but restricted it to articles the private property
of Mr. Green, and which had not been purchased for the
joint use of the parties.
Mr. Clarkson now cross-examined Mr. Green, who
said he was formerly a clerk in the Birmingham Railway
establishment, and then became an accountant. An
action was pending against him for detaining a bank-
rupt's books, but he should prove he had a lien on them.
He had detained another bankrupt's books till the Court
of Bankruptcy satisfied his claim. He had referred the
landlord of Assam Villa to Messrs. Vere. Had per-
mission to do so, though he had no account there. If
he had been advertised in the swindlers' list he was not
aware of it, and should seek redress. He had employed
a solicitor to compound with his creditors a year ago.
He was nothing now. He had been nothing since Mr.
Henry Coleman lent him 1 500/. As to when he had
last any money of his own, Mr. Clarkson had no right
to fish into his private business.
Mr. Locke re-examined him, when he stated that he
was introduced to Mr. Perry to advise with him on his
pecuniary difficulties. Mr. Perry introduced him for a
like purpose to Mr. Henry Coleman. who was involved
.3y. railway transactions. lie resolved to go on the Con-
tinent, leaving witness 1,500/. to speculate in railways.
He bought shares. sold them, and gave the money to
Perry by direction of Henry Coleman,
Mr. Alderman FAREHROTHER asked if Jessrs. Cole-
man retained the property they had carried off, or had
converted it to their own use?
Mr. Moss said they retained it.
Mr. Alderman JOHNSON intimated that his colleagues
agreed with him that the taking was not felonious, be-
cause the Messrs. Coleman believed they had a right to
take care of the property.
Mr. Clarkson said, that relieved him from much that
he had to say ; but he proceeded to make some caustic
observations on the evidence of Mr. Green, He had
never in his life hear d a more impudent charge of felony.
Mr. Green threatened to make Mr. Clarkson pay for
what he had said about him.
The Magistrates concurred in dismissing the charge
against Messrs. Coleman.
Mr. Green claimed, and Mr. Moss conceded to him,
possession of the four candlesticks, snuffers, and tray.
BOW-STREET.
A man named Timothy Plahony, who occupied a
miserable house in Shire-lane, Temple-bar, was charged
with suffering a poor family to inhabit a cellar under his
premises, contrary to the provisions of the 7th and Bth
Victoria, c. 84, s. 103 (the Building Act).
The charge was preferred by Mr. Boswood, the re-
lieving-officer of the Strand Union, at the instance of
the board of guardians, and the defendant pleaded guilty.
Mr. Dowling, one of the guardians, deacrined the
wretched condition of the cellar, in which an old man
and a woman arid several children had been living, with-
out furniture or light, and with nothing but a heap of
shavings for their bed. The place was desolate in the
extreme, and wholly destitute of ventilation.
It was stated that the defendant had pleaded his igno-
rance of the prohibitions of the Building Act, and that
he had received no remuneration from the poor creatures
occupying the cellar.

AfOsely. another guardian, observed, that it was
not the wish of the board to press the present case, but
they desired that the liability imposed by the new Act
upon persons in a similar situation should be better
known.

Mr. HENRY commended the guardians and other
officers of the Strand Union for their general attention
to the interests of the poor, and adverted to the clauses
of the Act, which rendered the defendant liable to a
penalty of 20s. per day for suffering his cellar to be in-
habited. He regretted that there was not some better
means of making the provisions of the Act known
among the class of people whom these clauses were in-
tended to affect. Ile thought much good would result
from a personal visitation by the offlceis of the parish in
districts which the poorer classes generally msorted to,
with the view of communicating a knowledge of the law
upon the subject, and warning them of the consequences
of its infrigement.

As the guardian did not press the charge against the
defendant, his Worship merely required him to pay the
cost of the summons, upon which he was discharg.. d.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Thom-is Telford Campbell was summoned before
Mr. Hardwicke fur having assaulted Mr. Charles
Hartnung.
Mr. Ilartnung said he was a watchmaker occupying
apartments at No. 47, Warwick-street, G olden-Fquare,
where the defendant also lodged. On Monday last he
had occasion to open the staircase window for an instant,
when the defendant came out of his apartments in a great
rage, and seized him by the collar, and after striking

him, threatened he would be the death of him. The

hments were torn in the scuffle. The complainant pro-

to be not in possession of sound intellect. The defendant

feelings towards him. 'mere were several persons with
whom the defendant had lodged present, who had also
been threatened with personal violence by him, and who
would state their opinion of the defendant while he w is
their lodger.

Mr. Rowe, hracernaker, Air-street, said the defendant
lodged with him tor a short time. The defendant was
very hasty in his behaviour, and had acted with so
much violence in consequence of some imaginary of-
fence, that witness was obliged to say he would call in
the police.
Mr. Tomlinson said the defendant had lodged with
him a short time ago. The defendant's principal occu-
pation was looking through a telescope at the stars and
giving odd names to his alleged discoveries of new
planets. Ile would freguently stand b3fore a looking
glass, and after regarding himself attentively for a
short time would suddenly call out " What an ugly ape
I am."

Mr. Campbell, in defence, denied the assault. He
was incouyenienc€d by the complainant opening the
window, and on attempting a remonstrance he was as-
saulted. He certainly did lay hold of the complainant
to protect himself from injury, but he released him on
being requeitd to do so. " An outrage aga o
c c
inst tel-
ings,' continued Mr. Campbell, " may lead tonlu-
sions, but it does not amount to an outrage in law. If
parson in a field wishes to shut a gate, and another

person attempts to prevent him, and is struck, this is an
outrage against feelings, but not an assault. This is
my case."
'1 he landlady, Mrs. M'Cloud, said the defendant was
a very quiet and good lodger. The complainant, on the
contrary, was in the habit of breaking the peace of her
house.

Mr. HAnDwicfc. said, as the complainant swore be
went in bodily fear, the defendant must find bail, himself
in 501. and two sureties of 251. each,
LAMBETH.

John Bobert Lee Middleton, a young man, who had
been apprehended on a warrant that morning, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of
committing a gross outrage in the house in a hch he
lodged.

Mr. Games, who attended on behalf of the prisoner,
submitted, upon his client being put to the bar, and the
complainant not appearing to make the charge, that the
friends of the former had made a fair and suitable com-
pensation to the latter for the insult offered and injury
done to her, and under the circumstances he hoped the
prisoner might be discharged.
Mr. ELLIOTT replied that the prisoner's offence was of
too serious a character to permit of a private arrange.
ment. In fact, he had been guilty of a very serious
outrage and assault upon an infirm woman, deprived of
her sight, as well as one also upon a little girl who slept
with her ; and, therefore, the case must be heard in the
usual way.

Shortly after the complainant made her appearance,
and -the case was proceeded with. From the state-
ment it appeared, that she was blind and had
bean confined to her bed for the last five weeks,
from illness, at her lodging, 5, Lambeth-square. On
Saturday morning, about four o'clock, the prisoner, who
N .s a lodger in the house, came home, forced her bedroom
door open, and threw himself upon the bed, upon
which she and a little girl, the daughter of her nurse,
were sleeping. He first assaulted the girl in an im-
proper manner, and then attacked her. She resisted
him as well as her strength would allow her, and got
out of bed, but he caught her, tore her nightdress, and
flung her on the bed again. She called out for assist-
ance, and sent the little girl down for the landlady, but
the latter did not come to her, and she (complainant)
ultimately managed to get away from him, but how she
scarcely knew, and went down stairs.
In her cross-examination by Mr. Games, the witness
admitted that after going down stairs on the morning in
question, and after the alleged outrage, she had drunk
some brandy and water, which had been sent for by the
prisoner, but added that she had done so at the earnest
request of Mrs. Poulter. She also admitted having re-
ceived 21, and had a promise of a third pound from a
friend of the prisoner, as a compensation for the offence
and the injury done to her bed and other things in her
apartment by the prisoner. _ _

Mr. Games sub-witted that this admission put an end
to the case.

Mr. ELLIOTT thought otherwise, and elicited from the
witness that she had been recommended by her friends
to take the money; first, in consequence of her bad
health and her confined means; and next, in considers
tion of the mother of the prisoner, who was represented
to be a very respectable woman, to whom a prosecution
would be a very serious injury.
The little girl who slept with the last witness deposed
to having been a.saulted herself, in the first instance,
and desctibed the prisoner's disgusting conduct on the
occasion.

For the defence, Mrs. Poulter, the landlady of the
house, and her brother, were called, but their evidence
did not contradict the testimony of the witnesses for the
complainant.
After hearing them,

Mr. ELLIOTT regretted he had not the power to deal
with the case as it really deserved, by sending the pri-
soner to the treadmill. By sending the case to the
sessions he feared, from what had already occurred, that
justice would be defeated, and he should, under all the
circumstances, take it on himself to dispose of it sum-
marily. In doing this, he should impose the highest
penalty the law permitted, namely, 5/. for each assault
on the little girl and the poor blind woman, or four
months' imprisonment.

Mr. Ganies applied to the magistrate to order the com-
plainant to give back the 21. which she accepted as a
compensation; but he refused to do so, remarking that
she was entitled to it for the injury done to the property
in her room.
