thereout : and with an assault upon Thomas Roche,
Roche was the principal Witness. rte said he.
had, about a year since, entered into the service of
Daniel ; he had before lived in the county of Cotk
that on the night of the 4th of June, Daniel's house
was broken into, by several persons who demanded
the Kerr.vman (meaning the Witness) ; that he was
hid in a loft over the kitchen, through the floor
of which he saw the Prisoners Clancy, Murray,
Hacket and Power ; that' they at length searched
the place Where he Was, and dragged him down
to the door, where he \vas flogged with a cat they
had brought with,
_them, for nearly an hour, and at
last, Mimic begged of ,them to put an end to his
miseries, he wars struck bey Racket upon the head,
and left bleeding and senselesi 'upon the ground.
Lord DououcHMOrt testified the miserable con.
dition to which the last IVittitschad been reduced
by this treatment, which*Lordship bad' observed
when Roche came to hitri/as, a illlagtstrate) to give,
examinations.

Other Witnesses deposed to the articles taken
out of the house of Daniel, and found in such a
way as to council them with some of the Prisoners.
Clancy, Murray, Hacker, and Power were found
Guilty ; the others were Acquitted.
On Saturday evening the Special Commission
closed at Waterford,

yam Caicy and,..Daniel Caro, indided for riot.
ously assembling, and breaking open the dwelling.

-.for his good behaviour for seven years.
Maurice Kane, a Witness, who came forward on

as • one of the party concerned in the burglary at
Four.mile.water, and immediately.cotOrnitted. Bills
ofindittment were afterwards found against him,
but his trial was deferred until the 'next Assizes.
'After the trials. were over, and the several Pri-
soners who had been Capitally con viCted, were put
to the Bar, Mr. Baron GEORGe.addresed them in
a very feeling manner., He stated, in strong terms,
the atrocity of the crier they had committed, and
the melancholy conalmtps that might ensue to,
the Country if :sUch dreadful outrages were floc
promptly and vigorously suppressed. 1-te can 0004
them .not to indulge the least hope of mercy, and in.
a most afftttin; manner, exhorted them to employ
the short 'mind:they had to live, in preparation. for
Eternity, The, Learned Judge then -passed the
dreadful sentence of the, Law on jam Placket,Pat. Clam, Jahn Murray, IVm.. Broderick, and
Michael Ponver.

The unhappy men behaved with imitable decorum,
mut are to he executed 'on Saturday the azd inst.
at the Fair Green 61 Wind Gap, neat'
water.

Sunlry the Hun. Mr. justice Dot.vmv.s, and die
Hun. Baron GeokGr, left Waterford for.Clonmel.

From the Clonmel Gazette, received this morning,
we learn that the Special Commission was opened in
Clonmel, on Monday last, by the Hon. Baron
Gitoito and the Hon. justice DOWNES r and on
Tuesday, Daniel Ryan and Tim. llallinan were
tried for an assault on Margaret Daniel, a married
woman of Newcastle, in the county of Tipperary.
The trial lasted all day. The brother and sister of
the Proecutrix appeared on behalf of the Prisoners,
todiscredit her testimony, a miserable proof of their
own depravity. Every endeavour that could be ex.
ercised tb iovalidate her charge, was pradised, but
in vain ; het tale, though unadorned, was invariably
consistent,. and carried conviuion home to the minds
tile +hearts of the Jury, who consulted but a mo.
meat on their verdift of Guilty.

On Saturdaylast the Ist inst. the bodies of nine
persons, diiven on -shore at .Kilbarriek the day be.
fore, were' interred in the Church-yard there.—
They had all belonged to the brig Frederick, from
Cork to Dublin, which had been unfortunately
wrecked on the North Bull, and of the entire crew
one only was saved. A boat laden with potatoes
tut Dublin, was also lost the same night, and all
hinds perilhed.
On Monday last a riot took place in.the Church.
yard of St. ' James's; during the interment of a
sawyer, between a party of that trade denominated
colt:, and another called Lodj-mcit. Some severe
blows were dealt on both sides, without any dan.
gerous consequences ; but yet, not without adding
to the many proofs of the evil consequences-which
arise from illegal combination, so prevalent now,
amongst tradesmen of all kinds.
