sheep, took compassion upon him, and again took him into
his employ. He had suffered punishment, but had not been
reclaimed, no less than three indictments having been now
preferred and found against him for different felonies com-
mitted against this kind and forgiving master. The Learned
Judge told him he was evidently proof against punishment or
gratitude, and cripple though he was he must be removed
from the country. His Lordship then sentenced him to 15
years' transportation.

It appeared that at about twenty minutes past twelve
o'clock in the night the prosecutor was called up by the pri-
soner, who told him of the fire, and went down with him to
the spot. They found it raging furiously. The prisoner then
assisted him and other neighbours who had come up in their
endeavours to subdue it, and did as much as any one else.
The building was from one-half to three-quarters of a mile
from the prosecutor's house, and from 200 to 300 yards from
the road between Naseby and Sibbertoft, which the prisoner
would have to traverse on his way home from Northampton
market, where, in fact, he had been; and his defence was,
that he had been riding by and saw it, and then went to his
uncle's, and straight thence to the prosecutor to inform him.
The material evidence against him consisted in his own
boasting avowals, in partial intoxication, -We- per-
sons, at different times, that he had done it, and a box of
lucifers being seen:in his possession shortly after the occur-
rence, which he boasted of having bought in order to
set fire to Mr. Bates's barn. At one time he said, "I am the
man, and set fire to it in three places with a wisp of straw,
which I pulled out ;" at another, that lie could write down
the name of the man who did it, and then that it was "of no
use to write, for I did it myself;" and when asked, " You
don't mean to swear that ?" saying, " Yes, I do; and at an-
other the like; and when told that he was joking, saying,
"No, lam not ;" and at another he said, " ll—n the fire, if
I were to see twenty fires I would not,care, or assist again ;"
and always accompanied with greathluster and disturbance,
and the use of very violent bad language. There was the
additional fact that the time of the fire about tallied with the
time of his having passed, but there were many other persons
also returning about the time from Northampton market.
Tho Learned JUDGE summed up with much care and cau-
tion, leaving it to the jury to say whether the prisoner had
himself furnished sufficient evidence to satisfy their minds ofthe
guilt—whether he had disclosed facts which were the effusions
of a guilty mind, or his statements were the mere vapouring
wanderings of a man in liquor. His Lordship observed upon
the utter absence of evidence of malice or motive.

—W. H. Jones, master mariner, Tranmere, Chester, March 9,
at twelve, at the Liverpool District Court. Turner, official
assignee.

The jury, without much deliberation, returned a verdict
of Guilty, and
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said, that such having
been their verdict, it became his duty to pass upon the pri-
soner the sentence of the Court, and there being no mitiga-
ting circumstances, that sentence was that he be transported
for fifteen years.
The prisoner, before leaving the dock, warmly protested
that he was innocent.

THE IRISH STATE TRIALS.
The following announcement appeared in the Birming-
ham papers :

" TOWN'S MEETING.
" TO T. WESTON, ESQ., MAYOR OF BIRMINGHAM.
" We, the undersigned inhabitants of the borough of
Birmingham, respectfully request that you will convene
a town's meeting, to consider the propriety of petitioning
Parliament, and taking such other steps as may be re-
quisite to protect the constitutional liberties of the Bri-
tish people from the dangers to which recent proceedings
in Ireland have exposed them."
[Here follows a list of upwards of 250 names of the
most influential persons of the town, and upwards of 500
additional names, it is stated, have been obtained since
the placard was printed.]
" In compliance with the above requisition, I hereby
convene a meeting of the inhabitants of this borough, to
be held in the Town-hall, on Wednesday next, March 6,
1844, at one o'clock.
" THOMAS WESTON, Mayor.
"D. O'Connell, Esq., M.P., will attend.
" Tickets of admission to the side galleries, price Is.
(open to ladies), to be had of the hall keeper, door in
Congreve-street."
In addition to the above names, there were appended to
the requisition several hundreds of respectable inha-
bitants, who there can be no doubt, will attend, to give ex-
pression to their unqualified dissatisfaction at the recent
proceedings in Ireland. Mr. O'Connell, who will attend,
will no doubt be the attraction of the day, and will be
hailed by the people of Birmingham in such a manner
as cannot fail, in connexion with his triumphant recep-
tion in London, to subdue those asperities which have
hitherto existed between his countrymen and the people
of England. The following is a copy of the invitation
upon which the Hon. Gentleman has consented to attend.
Other members of Mr. O'Connell's family, particularly
Mr. John O'Connell, are anxiously looked for :--
" TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, M.P.
" In consequence of the extraordinary proceedings which
have lately taken place in Ireland, by which it is apprehended
that the constitutional liberties of the inhabitants of the whole
kingdom have been endangered, it has been decided to hold a
town's meeting of this borough, utder the presidency of the
Mayor, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament on
the subject.

The requisitionists comprise a large proportion of the
town council and nearly seven hundred inhabitants, whose
signatures were affixed in one day ; and on behalf of those
gentlemen I have the pleasure to request thy attendance at
the meeting, which is to be held in the Town-hall on Wed-
nesday next, at one o'clock P.M.
_ _

" I am desired to add that the requisitionists will be happy
to welcome any of thy family or friends on that occasion. I
am, very respectfully,
" JOSEPH STURGE, Chairman of the
Committee appointed to make the
arrangements on behalf of the
requisitionists."
BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY EVENING.—As the time ap-
proaches for the town's meeting to-morrow, the interest in-
creases, and a very general desire seems to pervade all par-
ties to sea and hear Mr. O'Connell, who has signified his
intention to be present. The demand for tickets of admission
to the side and organ galleries is very considerable, and there
can be no doubt of the meeting being a very decided demon-
stration against the policy of the present Government in re-
ference to Ireland. This morning Mr. Sturge received the
following letter from Mr. O'Connell, which was this day laid
before the committee of management:—
" Trafalgar Hotel, Spring-gardens, March 4, 1844.
"My respected Friend,—l had the honour of receiving
your letter, written as Chairman of the Committee of the
arrangement for a public meeting to be held on the 6th inst.
(Wednesday), in the Town-hall of Birmingham, containing
an invitation, with grateful alacrity. It gives me heartfelt
pleasure to find that the wise and the good at Birmingham
sympathise with the sorrows and grievances of the long-.
oppressed people of Ireland.
" I rejoice also to perceive that the men of Birmingham
appreciate justly the objects which our common enemy had
in view in the recent trials in Ireland. The anti-freedom
party are wise in their generation ; they are quite aware
that if that which is now a mere matter of fact, namely, the
recent trial, be confirmed into a precedent, there will be thus
established 'judge-made law,' to be used as an instrument
by which, and indeed to extinguish all those peaceable com-
binations, by means of which all our institutions can safely
be ameliorated, and British liberty secured.
"It is, therefore, incumbent on the friends of justice to all,
and of constitutional freedom, to rally against this monster
attempt to put down free discussions, and to prevent organised
petition and remonstrance. _

"If the anti-freedom party succeeded in the present in-
stance, they will secure to a sordid and selfish oligarchy that
legislative power which they now have corruptly usurped
and moot corruptly abused ; and they will leave to the people
of these realms no other mode of getting rid of the abomi-
nable system of class legislation than by force, violence, and
revolutionary movements—modes of action which neither
you nor I will ever .consent to resort to. Now, therefore, is
the time for the wise and the good to rally together to crush
the wicked attempts to annihilate, under the forms of law,
great constitutional principles.
" In this struggle for the abolition of class legislation, and
for the termination of oligarchical power, you will find the
peaceful and loyal people of Ireland tranquilly giving you
their assistance, and no man will be more ardent and perse-
vering in his humble but strenuous exertions to afford you
that assistance than your devoted humble
" DANIEL O'CONNELL.
"Joseph Sturge, Chairman, &c.
