Condon: 11. Balllere, 219, Itsgent-street,

It is scarcely surprising that the Commons should
have refused to adopt the Appellate Jurisdiction
Bill which had been sent down to them from the
Upper House. This bill—happily we can speak of
it in the past tense—was open to well nigh every
objection which could be brought against a Paelia-
mentary measure. It entirely failed in providing
a remedy for that which is a great and acknow-
ledged evil—viz., the want of a suitable court of
last appeal to conclude litigation in civil matters.
It defined and narrowed the prerogative of the
Crown where the usage of ages had left the prero-
gative broad and undefined. At the same time
that it did this it introduced innovations far more
startling than the one against which it was mainly
directed. We have far from exhausted the objec-
tions to this most unwise and unconstitutional bill,
for surely nothing could be fore at variance with
the practice of Parliament them that one House of
the Legislature should continue to hold an abnor-
mal and irregular session at the same time that
the other House was relieved from the ditty of at-
tendance, and ihe Crown was debarred from all
interference. This provision for the continuous
session of the House of Lords in its judicial
capacity at the same time that its legislative
functions were suspended was either ridiculous
or open to the very gravest suspicion. If no-
thing more was intended than the formation of
a Court of Appeal disjoined from the ordinary
operations of the House of Lords, then the obvious
course, to avoid confusion, was to have a Nouse of
Lords and a Court of Appeal of an entirely inde-
pendent character. If, on the other hand, the new
Court was to remain clothed, in some mysterious
and indefinable manner, with the privileges and
majesty of a legislative body, the very gravest
evils might have resulted from a course so diame-
trically opposed to the principles of the constitution
as that one branch of the Legislature should remain
in permanent session while the functions of the
two others remained in suspense. Happily, we
may speak of this danger, as of one which has been
overcome. The House of Commons decided last
night by a majority of 22—that is to say of 155 to
133—that the bill should be referred to a select
committee—in other words, that it should be re-
jected. Such e measure as this could only be passed
by surprise. In the recess the minds of men will
be keenly directed to the contrivance of some re-
medy for the great evil of which this bill was a posi-
tive aggravation. This was the line of argument
which was taken last night by various speakers, but
even those who took the most moderate view of
the question strongly objected to the proposition of
the Government. To Mr. Raikes Currie the new
court appeared to be a " monstrous sham." The
Appellate Court would be the House of Lords,
and not the House of Lords ; it would corrupt the
Puisne Judges, and, in fact, make confusion thrice
confounded. Mr. Cardwell, with great reason,
complained that, whereas now we have two Courts
of Appeal—the one within the limits of its powers
reasonably good, the other outrageously bad, the
tendency of this bill was to overthrow the tribunal
which actually worked well in favour of the court
which was on all sides acknowledged to be of the

most unsatisfActory character.
The coalition by which it was sought to carry
the bill met with a signal defeat, and it deserved
to be defeated. Throughout the discussion, cer-
tainly throughout the discussion in the House of
Commons, tile speakers in behalf of the bill have
notoriously attached no credit to their own argu-
ments. The Attorney-General is not a man who
ever fails to make out a good case when the cause
intrusted to him is one which can be defended ;
but how weak, how meagre, how unlike his usual
style was Sir Alexander Cockburn's pleading on
Monday night in favour of this bill ! He himself
would obviously have been relieved could he have
looked forward to the division of last night. As a
lawyer of great practice and experience, no man
knows better than the Attorney-General that the
want of a prelppr Court of Last Appeal in civil
matters is one of the great opprobriums of the
profession ; but, af,-;er we have waited so long, is
this a point which can be duly considered in a
couple of stifling July evenings at the Close of a
session, simply because the Peers happen to be in
a somewhat impetuous mood ? A measure which
decided in a most unfavourable sense the question
of a final Court of Appeal, and dealt with high
differences between the Crown and the House of

Peers, was to be hustled through Parliament at
the close of a session really with less consideration
than is bestowed npon many a private bill. Well
might Mr. Evelyn Denison implore Lord Palmer-
ston "not to allow this miserable measure to come

between the louse of Commons and him." It

was a bill to which, in its present condition, and
without further inquiry, the House dared not and
could not without the grossest dereliction of duty
give the force of law. Either one of the two
great principles which it involved was quite im-
portant enough to necessitate the most matured

discussion.
We have ne desire to make any remark adverse
to a statesman who has rendered to his country ser-
vices of so eminent a character as those which
have distinguished the administration of Lord
Palmerston during the recent war. It must,
however, remain a subject of grave astonishment
that a Minister who could not bring himself
to argue more strongly in favour of a measure than
Lord Palmerston argued last night in favour of
this " miserable bill" could consent to introduce
it at all into the House of Commons. The founda-
tion of a good Court of Appeal is not a slight mat-
ter. The decision of this question, which was
provoked at the close of a session in so hasty and
unguarded a manner, was one which would affect
the most important interests of the country for
centuries to come. What had the First Minister
to say in favour of this abortive bantling of the
Peers, which he had so carelessly adopted ? Why,
the legal force in the House of Lords was on the
decline ; it was advisable to strengthen it • it was
therefore advisable to pass this bill. ire can
scarcely believe tat so resolute and clearsighted a
man could be in earnest when, after stating his
own entire conviction that the House of Lords had

come to an erroneous decision on the question of
life peerage; and declaring that many successive
Governtrients had held that the creation of life

peerages was within the prerogative of the Crown,
he yet argued that the error of the Peers ought to
receive the sanction of the Legislature, that the
opinion of successive Governments ought to be dis-
regarded, and that a most clumsy sham should be
established, all because an acknowledged evil
Would be remedied by an accession of legal force to
the House of Lords. This is literally all which
Lord Palmerston could urge in favour of a measure
which was permanently to affect the administration
_ .

of justice;throughout the ,British empire.

(From the Daily News of this day.)
Further discussion has only served to make
more clear the false position into which Ministers
have suffered themselves to be betrayed with re-
spect to the Appellate Jurisdiction Bill. There
was last night an open avowal of mutiny and revolt
among the very trained bands that usually support
them. The vehement and vivacious remonstrances
of Mr. Raikes Currie against the manner in which
the second reading was carried, followed by the
graver appeals of Mr. Evelyn Denison and others,
could not but tell upon Lord Palmerston. Re
was plainly told he held his post as official head of
the Liberal party, not because he was the legitimate
representative of their opinions, but "as a com-
promise "—because, in short, he had shown more
pluck and perseverance in times of difficulty abroad
than others of his recent , colleagues, and beeanse
he was on some points supposed to harbour more
liberal notions than his Tory opponents. But the
Premier was warned, in terms not to be mistaken,
that no consideration for past or hope of future
services would suffice to assuage the gathering
sense of being sacrificed to the designs of their
political antagonists that was beginning to pre-
vail in the ranks of his supporters. ' At the head
of the Tory party, and surrounded only by a staff
of salaried officials, he had a few nights ago
routed and ridden down the broken and disor-
ganised Liberals, on whom in the hour of real
need the maintenance and defence of his power
absolutely depended. We can fancy how
the admonitions administered some time before his
fall to Sir R. Peel for,similar desertion of friends
and adoption of foes must have recurred to the
minds of those who listened to these unwonted
warnings. But the difference was not more strik-
ing in the subject of the warnings than in the party
and persional position of those by whom they were
pronounced. The great Conservative leader delibe-
rately forsook the bulk of his followers because
they insisted upon standing between him and the
nation at large. Lord Felmerstoul when he

hearkens to Derbyite schemers and intrigues, and ,
consents to do their bidding in resisting progress,
commits the fatal error of .encircling himself with
the follies and prejudices of an aristocratic faction,
to the exclusion of the sympathy and confidence of
the great body of the community. Sir Robert had
everything to compensate him for the loss of power.
The noble lord, were he obstinately to persist in so
infatuated a course, would have nothing to coun-
tervail the sacrifice. Equally marked is the con-
trast between those by whom the words of augury
were uttered in 1845 and those. who discharge a
like duty in 1856. Mr. Disraeli was heard, rather
in wonder at his temerity than in serious belief
that his ominous words were a prophetic verity,
swiftly and inexorably to be fulfilled. What gave
them force was, that tho distrust he dared to arti-
culate lurked silently in the hearts ofmany—of
many who listened in silence, and who would have
prob ably denied that they approved of what was
said by the unsupported and almost .shunned
spokesman of wide-spread di3coutent. In the
present cas the tone of rebuke, if not of menace,
is used by men of long Standing among the Whigs,
of molerate opinions and long-tried fidelity to
party ti,,s, of more than unquestioned indepen-
dence of character and fortune, an:?, above all,
with the ready and undisguised support of scores
of men like themselves, both in and out of Parlia-
ment, who if asked by any insolent underling what
they wanted would be apt to answer, as a vener-
able nobleman is said to have answered when
similarly questioned, "Thank God, sir, I want
nothing but good government, and that great men
should stick to their principles."
The Tories naturally strove to hold their official
recruits to the fatal bargain they had entered into.
But it was edifying to see how their satisfaction at
the pickle into which their ministerial confederates
had, beenr, tared) gleamed through, their Alto:nut
attempts to defend the measure in detail. 'Speakers
like Mr. Malins could not muster impudossa.
enough to argue gravely in favour of anything
the bill contained. They even took pains to de-
clare that they were thoroughly and at heart
ashamed to do so. It was for other reasons
they were ready to vote with Government on the
question. Just so—the other reasons being
reducible in a few words to this,,that Lord Derby
having entrapped Lord Palmerston into a com-
promise of ma, cbless absurdity, by which
Crown and Commons, Bench and Bar, Lords and.
Lawyers, v, ere all sure to be damaged and dissatis-
fied—Lord Derby's followers in the Lower House
must at any cost adhere thereto, and give the Go

veinment ir) excue for retractation on the ground
of bin unsusLained.by their new allies. This,
and this alone, formed the gist of all that was mut-
ter d rather than uttered in support of this most
wretched measure during the long debate on Mr.
Currie's motion. Lord Palmerston endeavoured to
soothe the malcontent Liberal, but in vain. It was
addressing the deaf adder, that listens not to the
words of the charmer. The house, by a majority
of 155 to 133, resolved to relegate the bill to a select
committee—that bourne from whence so few bills
return. If Lord Palmerston is wise, he will with-
draw it at once.

IMPERIAE, INFLUENCE.—Simplicity i 8 80 closely allied
to elegance and refined taQte that it is sure to make
its way to universal recognition. Such has been the
good fortune of the Bournous s% la "Bedouin. The
Empress, always remarkable for her fine instincts on
the sill jtct of dress, has adopted this graceful article
of attire, and given to it Parisian vogue, and it is
becoming a prevailing " mode" among our own upper
classes. The 13°74mm:A is notable both for its beauty
and its extreme utility, as its 5123P9 is not only ap-
plicable for 'the opera, promenade, or evening dress,

travelling ; nay, it may even he had waterproofed.
How great ,must be the astonishment of tlig swarthy
Arab of the desert when .he perceives that his simple
combination; of materials has become, the favourite of
fashion among the politest peoples in the world, with
the exception of certain differences as to material,
weight, and! ornament Messrs. Jay and Smith, of
the " Spositaia," 246, Regeatestreet, have been re-
quested by high authority to add an 4qoisite adap-

BOW-STREET.—Richard Dunn was brought before
Mr Henry yesterday afternoon, upon the authority of
an order previously issued by his worship, directing an
inquiry as to his state of mind.
Mr. Bodkin appeared on behalf of the Crown to con-
duct the inquiry, which occupied several hours, owing
to the discursive speeches, and troublesome conduct 01
the defendant, whose manner throughout was that of an
excited madman.
Mr. Bo-:kin stated that the position which the defen-
dant now occupied was very different from that in which
he had been- placed on former occasions at the police
courts of the metropolis. It was not necessary to refer
to the defendant's continued persecution for so long a
period of Miss Burdett Ceutts, for the circumstances
were sufficiently notorious. Now the attention of his
worship would be directed to a series of letters which he
had addressed to some Royal personages, and painful as
it was to give publicity to the offensive terms in which
those effusions were couched, it was still nece,.,sary to
read them in justification of the present proceedings. In
consequence ef these letters it was judged necessary to
obtain his worship's order to have a medical inquiry in
stituted as to the defendant's state of mind ; and Dr.
Sutherland and Dr. Lavers were now in attondance to
report the result of their examination. The letters,
which were addressed to her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Cambridge and the Pitncess Mary, had been
submitted to the Commissioners of Police, by whom,
with the sanction of the Home Secretary, application
Was made for the present order to bring the defendant
before a magistrate as' a lunatic at large. After some
further observations, during which the learned counsel
was constantly interrupted by the defendant (who or-
dered the witnesses out of court),
Mr. Bodkin examined the following witnesses :
Major Homs Purvis deposed that he is Equerry to htl.
Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. He pro-
duced five letters, which had been received either at St.
James's-palace or Cambridge-cottage, Kew, and which
k had been since handed to Sir Richard Mayne. They
:were addreised chiefly to the Princess Mary, and were
,Ogned `.` Richird Dunn."
Cross-examined by the defendant—The last dates
were about the 15th or 16th of June. There had been a
great many previous letters signed "R. D.," which had
been destroyed ; and two or three signed " R chard
Dunn" were returned to the address given by the
writer.

Here Dunn, in a wild and insolent tone, put a torrent
of questions to the witness4asking him if he could swear
the letters were destroyed ; if he saw them destroyed
if iie saw the letters posted that were said to be returned
to him ; if be wasn't ashamed of himself for speaking
from hearing; and, finally, as a gentleman and a man of
honour—if he called himself so—whether any lady--
putting Royal Duchesses and Princesses out of the
question, for he didn't recognise such distinnions—
whether any lady. who had been addressed in terms of
affection by any one, even a sweep (for ail men and wo-
men, being human beings alike, were actuated by the
same feelings), would destroy any letters if she enter-
tained the idea of assisting the present conspiriCy against
him, or if they contained anything that would militate
against him ?
Major Purvis was not aware of any " conspiracy,"
and he should suppose the best way of discouraging such
letters would be to send them back to the writer.
At the request of Mr. Bodkin the following letter was
read by Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, the defendant
himself repeatedly assisting him in deciphering unintel-
ligible passages :

" " Victoria Coffeehouse, June 14, 1856.
Princess,—lf I could believe that the outrage perpe-
trated on my feelings was sanctioned by you I should never
again address you, for never was outrage so totally unpro-
voked. I have acted entirely in obedience to what I sup-
posed to be your wishes, and I highly estimated your cor-
r, ct and proper feelings. I did not supposa it possible that
as a lady you would permit me to pour into your bosom
the warm and ardent affection which you have taught me
to entertain for you, nor did I think that, after having re-
tained those letters so long, you could place them in the
hands of the Commissioners of Police. My feelings to.
wards you, Princess, were principally created by the en-
couragement I was led to suppose you wished to give me
—they began withyour smiles, they may end with a frown
if you like to end with one. You require no protection
front me but your own feelings. All the empire knows
that money cannot buy my heart. I loved with truth aid
sincerity. I acted with candour and honesty. You know
all my circumstances, and if I have acted in any way dis-
tressing to you, do not blame me, but the circumstances.
If you think me worthy of your esteem and fair hand, let
me know. If you have placed my letters in unworthy
hands, take them back, or have them restored to me, and
you shall never hear from me again. Do not think lightly
of the difficulties of my position, one lady hunting me to
distraction because I wont have her, and another because
I wish to have her. A Christian death were better than
such a life ! If you wish to write you can easily make
your maid enclose them to me, and I should be greatly
gratified if I could have an explanation with a person on
whom you could rely.
" I remain beloved and admired Princess, yours, &c.
" RICHARD DUNN."
The defendant here observed, "That letter is my an-
swer to this charge. lam content to put in that letter
as my defence."

Oiler letters were received of a wild and offensive
character, and were proved by Inspector Bray, of the
A division, to be in defendant's handwriting; but
Mr. Henry did not consider them of sufficient import-
ance to be attached to the depositions.
Dr. John Lavers, of Great George-street, Westmin-
ster, examined--In pursuance of the order produced
saw defendant on Saturday Jast.l had seen Mr. Dunn be-
fore on two previous occasions, to ascertain the state
of his mind, and had conversations with him each time.
From these conversations, and from what I have seen of
him to-day, I believe him to be insane. My first inter-
view with him was at his own lodgings. He then stated
that his reason for writing letters to the princess was
that she had given him an unmistakeable look of recog-
nition while riding in her carriage, and that the
Duchess of Cambridge, who sat by her side, re-
proved her for it. This, he said, was so obvious, that
it drew the attention of a bystander, a gentleman, who
spoke of it to him (Dunn) at the time. Afterwards, at
my own house, he stated that the daughter of a noble
man (whose name he mentioned) had wished him to
marry her, and that the father, a marquis, bad offered to
settle an annuity of 3001. upon him. He said that two
young women, whom he met in Bond-street, were sent
to look out for him by the Princess, and that while he was
conversing with "Sarah," the Princess's waiting-maid,
at her residence, the Princess herself was waiting on the
stairs, and would have come down to him but for the
servan s. He said that the Queen also was in love with
him, and the Palace doors were 'thrown open to
him, but he had purposely avoided going that way. He
said that the landlady of the reading-room in Bury-street,
St. James's, which he used, had told him repeatedly
that the servants of ladies of distinction had been sent to
inquire after him.
Tne witness was subject to a long period,of " bullying,"
rather than cross-examination, and was asked to define
"ethics," " mathematics," to repeat the sentiments of
Locke on the Human Understanding, in special rela-
tion to insanity, to state what constituted a fool, and
finally, with vulgar effrontery, defendant de-fired the
witness to get a looking glass and save himself the
trouble of the definition.
Dr. Alex. John Sutherland, of 6, Richmond-terrace,
Whitehall, deposed —I am a fellow of the Royal College
of Physicians. My practice has been very much directed
to mental disorders and their treatment, and I am phy-
sician to St. Luke's Hospital. In pursuance of the
order produced, I have been to see Mr. Dunn once. It
was on the sth inst. I entered into conversalion with him
with a view to ascertain the state of his mind, and also
on the following day, when he called on me, I took the
opportunity of observing him with the same view. I
c insider he is of unsound mind, and that he labours under
particular delusions. He stated to me that he had sent
a letter to the Princess Mary in consequence of certain
facts which he relied on. He said that last June twelve.
month he saw one of the Royal carriages passive frau
Apsley-house. In it were the Princess Mary and the
Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess smiled and
winked at him. He also told me that the Duchess turned
to the Princess and rebuked her, and that all this was
noticed by a gentleman who was standing near him.
After that he stated to me that the Princess had written
to him and had put a heart in the corner of it, with the
name " Mary" written on the heart. He said that a
gentleman called upon him at his chambers in the Tem-
ple, and in the course of a conversation said to him—
" Princesses have married commoners." He said that on
another occasion, when the Princess was riding out with
some other ladies, she "put out her cheek, as much as
to say, you salute me I am ready to salute you.' "
He also shed that he had been to the Duchess of Cam-
bridge's, where he sew the maid-servant, and said to her
" Sarah, your young lady is either flirting with me, or
humbugging me." At this Sarah laughed, and he then
asked what sort of pets ,n the Princess was, and she said,
" Very amiable, just like her father ;" upon which, he
(Mr. Dunn) rejoined, "Then I will try it on." He also
told me that he asked Sarah whether any ladies in the
house wore plaid *bawls ? and Sarah replied that they
did. He said he had seen Miss Fraser and the Duchess's
maid so dressed in Bond-street, near the Clarendon
Hotel, and that ona of them said, "How do you do ?"
That he ieterpreted this to mean that he was to go to
the house of the Duchess, as the Princess Mary was
alone, it being the day upon which the other members of
the family dined with the Duke of Cambridge. He ob-
served that there bad been a good deal of whispering
about the Princess Mary and himself at his lodgings.
He further said that on oue occasion, as he was going
towards St. James's Palace, he was overtaken by a
woman, who ran before him to the entrance to the
stable-yard by fiutherland-botoe ; that she went in, and
tbat almost ithinediaiely afterwards he met the Duchess's
carriage. He told me that if he were not made of
cast iron hp 904
ld not have withatoqd these advances,
sad that had they been ordinary women he should,
atter such enoottragement, have walkedi nto their
uses at once. He said it had been intimated to him
that the Duchess had objections to the marriage of
the Princess gary with 'rince Oscar, awl that he
believed her Mersty favoured hire, an it.ference
which he drew from her manner towards him.
He said that a certain nobleman was desirous that h.
should marry his daughter, and that in cofylequetee of •
hie (l r. Dauu'o) refund ha bad become the object of that

Mr. Bray had found that some of them were true. For
instance, it was true ,that he (Dunn) called at the Palace
and saw Sarah, but it was not true that the Princess was
on the stairs, eze.
The defendant, a long and rambling harangue, main-
tained stoutly that the whole of his assertions were true,
and that he could prove them. He demanded that all
the persons he had mentioned should be called to say
whether the facets were as he stated them. He asserted
that be had seis,n the Earl of Munster, who had assured
him that the lady was in love with him, and rennired his
worship to adjourn the case for no purpose of examining
that and otber witnesses.
Mr. Heavy—There can be no doubt about the' falsity
of all the allegations and statements proved to have been
made by Nou. The possible excuse for you is that which
Dr. Sutherland gives—that you are a per-on of unsound
mind, atcd labouring under delusions. If this were not
so I should make some very strong observations on your
infamous conduct ; but it is my clear conviction that you
are not a person of sound mind, and therefore I shall
order you to be placed under restraint.
Defendant—l appeal to the gentlemen of the press to
do the justice, which you have not done.
The defendant was then removed, and the formal order
made out.

The proceedings terminated considerably after the
usual hour for the adjournment of the court.

THIIRSDAY.-THE CUP DAY.

- -
"Cup days" at all meetings possess peculiar attrac-
tions for pleasure folk, independent of the quantity and
character of the sport. No exception was formed to
this rule at Liverpool, and although the card contained
no item of engrossing interest—the principal eventlbeing
a comparative failure—yet the attendance of general
company was very large. The stands were pretty well
filled, and in the private stand was the Earl of Derby
and his distinguished guests, who are sojourning for the
week at Knowsley.
The sunny weather heightened the enjoyment of the
spectators. The only drawback from the pleasant cha-
racter of the proceedings was occasioned by the itinerant
preachers, who took up their stations at frequent inter-
vals in the vicinity of the course, and pursued their call-
ing with wonderful energy. Their seeming earnestness,
however, produced no effect upon the throngs of holiday
folk, and its only tendency appeared to be to create a
breach of the peace. Opposite the railway station at
Aintree were placarded, in large letters, the words
" Remember poor Palmer," and underneath it were seve-
ral Scriptural quotations. These offensive displays,
however, only excited coarse and ribald jests from the
" roughs," and created disgust and indignation amongst
all respectable people.
The "Cup " brought out only eight starters. Types,
who had for many weeks been the leading favourite,
maintained her position in the market to the close. The
race was remarkable only for her utter defeat. This
event concluded, the day's sport also terminated; for
the two subsequent stakes only attracted four horses to
the post. Altogether, a more uninteresting Cop Day
was never witnessed at Aintree. The " officials " got
through their business with their usual promptitude.
The course, however, was most inefficiently kept, people
boing allowed to crowd on to it at the stable turn and
below the distance, to the danger of life and limb. The
races were decided as under :

The Irish journals bring full details up to a late
Lour on Wednesday night, at wbicli titre the town
of Nenagh was quiet, but considerable apprehen-
sion prevailed as fo the likelihood of a renewal on
the morning following. The subjoined account of
Tuesday's and Wednesday's proceedings is taken
from the .r'enagh uardian, of Wednesday :
" Yesterday morning the Militia stopped the Limerick
coach, and searched it. imlgining it truglA ae conveying
away ammunition, but, not ,liscoyerirg any, they
allowed it to proceed on its journey. We learn that
they hare been running bulls the greater part ,of the
day. Taey carry their arms with them through the
streets, and fire them at pleasure. At lialf-pa-t. one
o'clock all the men from Pound-street passed up to the
Summerhill barracks, armed. Lord Dunalley, Mr. R.
Gason, and some other magistrates; and gentlemen fal-
lowed them, and endeavoured to pacify them. They suc-
ceeded so far as to prevail on the men to unfix their
bayonets. The Militia after.wards paraded *the town;
headed b r their band, dizcharging an indiscriminate and
irregular fire into the air. The ,hops were all closed,
buaness was suspended, and •he town had all the ap-
pearance of a besieged place.
"At about 4 o'clock the miitAry. consisting of 1,000
soldiers of the 13th, 4lst, 47t;_a arts 55ta dep-its, under
the command of Lieut.-Col. enteral Barrack-street
from Templemore, and were la.ited oppasite the church.
Here they received instructiot, to fix bayonets and load
with ball cartridge, to march 0„ the barrack of Nenagh,
and take possession of it. They then proceeded,
headed by Mr. John Fletnin:. resid,,nt magistrate, to
Summer-hill Barrack. eeh man as cool as if he were
going to a review On reachhg the barrack-gate the
Co'onel demanded admi•tance. There was no reply—it
wa- a moment of if read stn-pen-e ! He placed his hand
on the gate an it opened to his touch. He advanced,
followed by 1-is men, who opened into a single file and
surrounded the barrack-walls. F ,rtunately, not a shot
was fired at the military. There was here, however,
only a small pia•tion of the Militia, from whom Lieut.-
Col. Maude and tt,e oth, r Tipperary officers, ably se-
conded by Lord Dunalley, succeeded, after some
difficalty, in gettin quiet possession of their arms.
" While the disarming WAS going on a considerable
number of the Militia from the Pound-street Barracks
were prowling outside about the gate with their arms
loaded. T. ey made several attempts to fire in at the
Line, and unfortunately succeeded in shooting two sol-
diers belonging to the 47th and 41-t through the keyhole
of the gate. One of the men was mortally wounded,
and he died shortly after. The other man's wounds are
not of a very serious natur

"An officer's party was then sent out to clear the
streets of the Militia. On arriving near the Market-cross
they were fired at by some of the latter, who had
concealed themselves behind the corners of the streets.
The officer got his men into skirmishing order and sue-
ceedel in dislodging the Militia from their position, and
drove them into Pound-street Barracks. Having ef-
fected their object, the party returned without any
casualty, fortunately, occurring.
"Shortly after 8 o'clock 200 men of the 21st arrived
from Parsonstown. Having joined the Templemore
troops, the entire body, under the command of Major-
General Chatterton, K.H., who, accompanied by his
Aide-de-camp, Major Foster, and Colonel Muller, De-
puty-Assistant-Adjutant-General, had just arrived from
Limerick, proceeded to take possession of the Pound-
street-Barracks, where the Militia seemed resolved to
make a determined stand and fight it out with the regu-
lars. Before the soldiers proceeded far down Castle-
street they were received with a tremendous volley
from a body of Militia, who had again stationed
themselves at the market-cross. The front rank
of the Line returned the fire, which was re-
sponded to; by another discharge from the Militia.
A continuous roll of musketry was then kept up for
about five minutes, and the result must have been
awful, only that the Line, not wishing to take away
life there being many persons in the streets at the time,
fired into the air. While this was going on in the street
a string party of the military were despatched up by
the new Court-house. Here they fell in with a body of
the Militia, who took to the fields, and 'brew themselves
into skirmishing order, displaying the utmost coolness
and determination—it may be added bravery—in their
encounter with the Line. They were, however, soon
overcome, and had to beat a hasty retreat. The
mili-
tary then proceeded round by Cudville to the Potted. street Barracks, where they met the street party, who
had compelled the Militia at the market-cruse, after
some sharp firing, to retire also. After a feeble resist-
ance, their ammunition having run onr, the latter were
compelled to submit, and, having given in their arms,
they were made prisoners, and marched up to the mili-
tary prison, where they were lodged for the night. Thus
ended one of the most fearful days ever spent in Nenagh.
But we regret to say that this last engagement was at-
tended with serious loss of 'life and personal injury.
Three of the soldiers were wounded ;,one of them had his
thighbone broken ; a pensioner, named Gibbons, resid-
ing
in Pound-street, was shot dead while looking out of
kis house ; and two children were more or less injured.
" The cause of this outrageous conduct is quite simple.
On the embodiment of the Irish militia the soldiers were
promised a certain bounty, bat now, when Government
are in no further want of them, they violate that sti-
pulation.

"INQUEST ON TUE BODIES.
" On Wednesday Mr. T. T. Abbott, proceeded to the
military barrack for the purpose of holding an inquest
on the bodies of the persons shot dead the previous
evening. The following are their names :—Denis Toohey
and Patrick Tracey, Tipperary Militia, ; Pat. Curley,
41st Regiment, and Peter Gibbons, Pound-street, pen..
sioner. Curley, the soldier of the 41st, bad only re-
turned from the seat of war, having been at the battles
of Alma, Inkerman, and Balaklava. He was a fine•
looking young fellow, about 28 years of age, r4nd has
left a widow and three young children. The two militia-
men were each about 25 years old, and not married,
" A corporal of the 41st identified the .nody of Curley.
" Lord Dunalley was the first witness examined by
the Gironer—l was is the military barracks here yes-
mutiny I attended as a magistrate in consequenee of a
mutiny among the Tipperary Regiment of Militia, and
offered my assistance in restoring order among them.
With regard to the death of the solhier Curley, I caw the
occurrence take place. I saw a man dressed in red come.
up to the small door of the barrack entrance and dis-
charge his firelock ; the man that fired was within a fere
yards of the deceased at the time. The deceased
only in the act (.f"w3g entering the gate when he was
shot.
The man then fell. The soldiers closed round hi
m, „d the perpetrator disappeared. That is all I know about
the matter. Who the person was that firet). the shot I
cannot say.
"Henry Fraser, examined—l live in INTenagh. I was
standing outside the wicket-gate yesterday and saw a
Militiaman fire a shot in throu4 it. When the shot
was fired I heard that a soldier was killed, The man
who fired ran away. I also ran away. I should not
know the man who fired the shot. When it was said
the man was shot the Militiamen and people ran away.
"After some further evidence,
"Tae jury returned a verdict 'That the deceased men.
came by their deaths in consequence of gunshot wound%
inflicted by' some person or persons unknown 'and that
death of the soldier Curley, of the 41st
Regir,
was caused by a soldier of the North Tipperary 11F2ii'lmea.' et "

DUBLIN, THURSDAY ZVENING.
A second edition of the Limerick
last night, contains the following przticular Re porter,s
dated
:
" NENAGa, WEDNESDAY.
"The town is quiet to-day. It is said that the
Militia who were taken with arms in their hands
last night will be tried by ,he civil power. A great
many deserted last night, taking their arms and
appointments with them. The firing at 9 o'clock
last night in Pound-street was terrific. It was
there all the damage was done. The number of
Militia wounded in barncks is six, and it is sup-
posed many of those who went away are wounded.
Eight or ten soldierP, of the Line are vroulide.d.
In the case of Peter Gibbons, who was shot by ono
of the 55th Regiment, the jury returned, the fol-
lowing verdict :—' Deceased came to his death by
the effects of a gunshot wound infl;.eteci a sol-
dier of the 55th Regiment; that such firing was
01)s might have used
unjustifiable ; and that the trop-
more discretion in firing into +le house of a respect-
able nian, having fired ten. rounds into deceased'g
house.' "
