The death of that learned and excellent Judge
Lord Newton, was announced in our second edition of Monday
last. The circumstances attending his Lordship's demise it
would be equally painful and unnecessary to detail. He fell a
victim to a disease to which men of studious and sedentary
habits are peculiarly liable. Lord Newton is known to the

KILKENNY, MARNA' 10.

( FROM OUR CORRESPONIYENT.)

Having already communicated to you the result of the
Carig Shock, or Knoctopheo, trials at the present asisites,
I have but one trial more to relate connected *Mt the
state of public feeling in Ireland. say tntnected with
the state of public feeling ; for, tiamgh every trial,
whether of a criminal or civil nature, has more or less ix-
floence on the people, the criminal prosecutions 'lt Kil-
kenny this asszes interests or excites almost every indivi-
dual in the country to a degree never before observed.
Every person with whom yet-. tOttverse, Catholic or Pro-
testant, Whig or Tory, in. he upper, middle, or lower
ranks of society, is prompt in declaring that the decisions
of the Juries hero, in the Carig Shock and itim:rection
cases, whether for the Crown or against it, must have souse
influence on the great struggle for Reform and the aboli-
tion of 'tithes in Ireland—which 'questions occupy so ex-
clusively the attentimi o'f the Legislature at this moment.
Five men, three of them named Somers, one Eralan,
and one Whelan, (the latter a lad scarcely tatXteen years
years of age), have been found guilty of a very aggravated
burglary and administering whs. It appeared that these
persons broke into the hour of an 014 man, named Man-
sting, residing with his family near Cast!ecomer, in this
county, in January last after night fall. The daughters
and wife of this old man proved that he was plated by
the culprits, or one of them, on the fire, whVie they en-
deavoured to txtcrt from him on his oath where his tire-
arms were, and also who of his neighbours had fire-arms.
The old man was so couch injured by this horrible treat-
ment, that it was imporaible for him to attend to ete
evidence. The witnesses for the prosecution untie: went a
very strict and ingenious cro examination, but were not
shaken in their testimony.
Baron FOSTER, in pronouncing sentence of death, held
out no hopes of pardon, but extorted them to prepare for
the decree of another tribunal.

'lle three Somers' are ordered for execution Ca 'Saturday
next ; Dolan on the 28th of April, thee ing a point of
evidence reserved in his favour for the opinion of the
twelve Judges in the interim; and Whelan, being recoil'
mended to mercy by the Jury, was given to understand
tha► his sentence would be commuted to transportation
for life.

It appeared in the course of the tr.fal that the prisoners
were near neighbours of the Meanings ; and that besides the
fire-arms which they were in search of, they swished to
punish this family her having paid tithes a fee days before.
It appeared also, that there was a great number of persons
surrounding The house during the tragic scene, and that
informations were not sworn for some days from fear of
the combination existing in the country. The obi), other
remarkable feature in the transaction is, that after the ver-
dict was in, the culprits not only declared their innocence,
but accused their Attorney and Counsel of not bringing
forward all the evidence they could on their behalf. This
circums-ance caused a great sensation in the Court, by BO
means favourable to the defendants, and drew from the
Learned Judge some observations, as to the dilteuit duty
which the gentlemen engaged for such persons had to per-
form in reconciling their own discretion and the prisoners
instruction., while exerting themselves for their safety.
There is no appearance of riot or disturbance. The
convicts and the prisoners are just now (five o'clock) pass-
ing from the Court-house to the gaol, escorted by a great
number of military and police. The precautions taken by
the authorities are such as to prevent even an attempt at
rescue, or any other lawless proceeding, the possibility of
which, however, it teems from the great escort, is
apprehended,
