DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.—Mr. Thomas Steele has,
during the past week, been engaged in endeavouring to
bring some miscreants to justice who bored with an
augur holes in several merchant-vessels belongingi to
Wales, and lying at the quay of Limerick. The Head
Pacificator, with most praiseworthy assiduity, having
obtained a clue to the identification of the scoundrels,
communicated with the Limerick magistrates, and an
investigation was immediately held, and a man named
Linnane placed in custody. The investigation was to
have been resumed on Monday.—Dublin Packet.

LORD WESTMEATH'S PROSI4:CUTION AGAINST

TILE PRIESTS.
Dunuti, OCT. B.—The inquiry directed by the
Government has terminated in a decision against Lord
Westmeath. The particulars will be found in the fol-
lowing report:—
" CLLINSTOWN ADJOURNED PETTY SESSIONS, OCTO-
BER 7.—The case of the Marquis of Westmeath against
the Reverend Michael Coghlan, the Reverend E. Carey,
and several others, for riot and conspiracy, and which
had been adjourned from the 26th ultimo to this day, in
order to take the opinions of the law officers of the
Crown on the informations sworn on that day, came on
before the magistrates who heard the evidence on the
26th, viz., Captain Despard, Mr. Batty. the Reverend
Thomas Smythe, and Mr. Evans. Previous to the
sitting of the court, Captain Despard and the county in-
spector (Mr. Walsh) proceeded to the chapel at Fowre,
to view the ' passage' to it, where the house had been
erected by Talbot (the Marquis of Westmeath's tenant),
for the removal of which, in a peaceable and legal
manner, the people had been charged with riot and con-
spiracy.
"On the assembling of the court, Captain Despard
stated that he had a communication to make to the ma-
gistrates, and that it was necessary the court should be
cleared, which was accordingly done.
" After about half an hour's deliberation by the ma-
gistrates, the court was opened and the public admitted.
" Captain Despard (as Chairman of the Bench) ad-
dressed Mr. James D. Scully (who attended as counsel
for the accused parties), and stated, That the informa-
tions had been submitted to the Attorney-General, who
had declined giving any opinion whether the magistrates
ought or ought not to reaeive the informations, but left
the matter entirely to their discretion ; and that the
magistrates having taken int,9 their consideration that it
appeared in evidence before them that the way' in
questions hadin been
they used for a 10..1g period by the people,
gan had a legal rig2it to do so, and, con-
sequently, to remove any obstructioo to their exercise of
assuming
um
it, and inasmuch as the magistrates were of opinion that
there was no violation of the law in the mode of the re-
moval of the walls of Talbot's house by the people, the
magistrates declined receiving the informations ; and, as
a further reason for such decision, Capt. Despard stated
that their decision would not pet ludo the Marquis of
Westmeath (if he thought proper) to send up bills of in-
dictment to the grand jury at either the quarter sefisions
