eel:, who had made a man of him; he had been
_treated with kindness _by Mrs. Spencer until the
hour of her death ; Mr. Spencer had recommended
him to several other persons ; he never fled, but
continued to be employed by the .ftiends of Mr.
Spencer.
John Moore and his brother nearly corroborated
what had been stated by their mother, : ;They ac.
knowledg,ed that they had,— as -a.pro!edion, asked
to have their names entered in .the list of Rebels;
though the affair happened so long ago, yet they
had given examination only a few days.before the
present Assizes against the Prisoner.
On behalf of the Prisoners, the Rev. Mr. 'Pome-
roy, son-in:law to Mr. Spencer, was produced.—
He gaye the Prisoner a most excellent character. He
stated, that the Prisoner had saved all the papers
and documents belonging to Mr. Spencer. That
since the Murder he had settled accounts, with him
relative to the Duke of Leinster, to the amount of
60,0001. which accounts had been posted by the
Prisoner ; that without the attention of the Pri-
soner, and his having saved- those papers, it would'
have been impossible to have done so ; that he had
a very good opinion of him since the Rebellion; that
he had known him in Mr. Spencer's family for '
many years ; that nothing he had heard sworn
against him had altered his good opinion--and, upon
a qiiestion put by the,Counsel for the Crown, he
said, he did not believe he was concerned in the
murder of Mr. Spencer.
The Duke of Leinster, and several Gentlemen,
attended to testify to the character of the Prisoner,
but it was thought unnecessary to produce them.--.
The Jury, without hesitation, acquitted the Pri.
soner, who was immediately, discharged.
• Previous to the above, on the same day William
Walsh was tried on an Indidment for aiding and
abetting in the said Murder, against whom the
same Witnesses were prodaced,- and from whose
evidence it appeared he was :present as laid in the
Indictment. His Counsel, called.no evidence; but
read the Amnesty A in his defence, ; which the
Judge was of opinion did not come within his.
