LIMERICK ASSIZES.

On Friday henry Wingle was charged with feloniously
taking away Catherine Quade, with intent to force bet to
marry him, and with aesaulting Thomas Brooder, all of
Knocknahoher, in the west of this county, on the 22d of
January, 1831.
Catherine Quade, a modest, well-looking, and cleanly
dressed country-girl, sworn, and examined by Mr. BEN.
fizrr.—Lives-with her mother at Knocknaboher. Ha.
three brothers and two sisters, who also live with her mo-
ther. Knows the prisoner. (Upon turning round to
identify the prisoner, a well-looking young man, sic
smiled.) Recollects the party coming to her mother's
house on the night in question, late at night Some of
the party forced in the outer door, and subsequently her
bed-room door. Dragged her out of bed and took her
out on the road, where she met the prite,ner and others.
Could not tell who dragged her out of bd. The party
had a horse. Wingle's brother was there, who came up
witness and said that his brother was good enough for
her. Upon her screeching and bawling, the prisoner
came up and said that he would take her hack to her
mother's; the other men said be should not, nor would
they allow it; these men wanted to fence her on the
horse ; and, notwithstanding her struggles they succeeded
in placing her on the horse. They then took her towards
the mountain, at least one mile and a half off. Had only
her undress on. A man's body coat was given her by
one of the men. She rode before the prisoner during the
time. Upon reaching the mountain she had to dismount,
and to walk a little, until they reached a house, early in
the morning, where they did not delay long, when
they proceeded onwards to another house, some
di stance off, where they rein ai ned until night.
Upon reaching the last-mentioned house the peo-
ple were going to mass. The men always kept close to
her, for fear of her going away. Was taken by tin ns to
another house after nightfall, a good distance from the
last house she had been in. Stopped in the latter house
all Sunday night. Slept with a woman of the house.
Wingle slept in a different part of the house (as witness
believes). Could not say exactly where he slept. Saw
prisoner in the morning. Prisoner and she walked toge-
ther during that day towards Tarbert. The prisoner did
not speak much to her ; never of marriage. Could not
recollect the conversation between them. The other men
talked to her about getting married to prisoner. "%tient

Sentence of Death recorded ; but his Lordship raid that he
would lay his (the prisoner's) case before the Government,
with a view to mercy and clemency.
[Here the prosecutrix leapt d on the tali!e and threw
herself on her knees, beseeching his Lordship not to hang
him ; being told he would not, she retired.]

The inhabitants of Trowbridge have opened
a subscription for the purpose of erecting a monument to the
memory of their late incumbent, the poet, Crabbe.
DELIRIUM.—There is in the aspect and con-
duct of persons affected by delirium a very peculiar and
strong impression of reality ; this is sometimes exhibited in a
manner sufficiently ludicrous, as in the case of a cooper, w ho
insisted that his mother, a woman of round and plump figure,
was a hogshead, which he was to hoop. At other times the
spectacle is painful ; nothing can be more real than the ex-
pression of horror, fear or despair which are occasionally wit-
nessed in the unfortunate subjects of this disease. The dread
of robbery and of murder are a.• distinctly produced in their
minds as they can be in those of persons actually subjected to
those dangers. There is often a thrilling and almost startling
truth in their expresslons of To3,:e and 9.-Aultenance ; and from
the entire absence: of any of the proper exciting caur.e..; of such
th: whole scene appears to the bystander like excel-
lent acting.—batickpit gedicoi avtd, Pkyo'ca Joßreta2
