Scott's Derby Lot—A di3pute as to whether, in a bet laid
on Colonel Peel's and Mr. Crockford's lots against Scott's
lot, on the last day of Warwick races, 1843, Bay Mourns,
although not included in the published list, should be consi-
dered as having formed part of Scott's lot at that time, having
been referred to the lion. Captain Rous and C. Greville,
Es q., they this evening delivered their opinion in writing,
to the effect that, except in cases where there was a complete
understanding on both sides that Bay Momus had become
one of Scott's lot, it is most consistent with a general prin-
ciple of equity, and most conformable to the bona fide inten-
tions at the time of the contracting parties, to decide that he
did not constitute a member of it, until he was actually put
in training, and was returned by Scott himself (in the list
published) as forming one of the lot.

THE IRISH STATE TRIALS.
(From .the afprning Herald.)
By an extraordinary express, we are enabled to lay before
the public most important affidavits, sworn yesterday in Dub-
lin, by the town clerks of that city, Messrs. Archer and Dick-
inson, and of their chief clerk, Mr. Magrath, in answer to Mr.
Pierce Mahoney, who had sworn
" That a gross, wilful, and corrupt suppression of the names
of the said persons and others qualified to be placed on the
Special Jurors' List for the year 1844, had taken place."
And, in an affidavit filed 19th April, 1844, this gentleman
further undertook positively to depose that " the omission of
the names of several persons from said special jurors' list was
not by accident, but was the effect and result of design and
contrivance, to prejudice the trarersers."
The affidavits of the Dublin town clerks, which we now
present, rebut this charge of Mr. Pierce Mahoney in the most
solemn manner, and cannot fail to remove from the mind of
even the most prejudiced person any impression that unfair
means were resorted to in the matter of these jury lists
about which we have heard so much. Nothing can be more
clear or satisfactory than these replies of Messrs. Archer and
Dickinson, and which are brought forth in consequence of
a notice served on those gentlemen by the Crown
solicitor, requiring them to answer the charges made
against them by Mr. O'Connell and the other con-
spirators. There was the greatest anxiety in Dublin to
learn the purport of these affidavits, and all sorts of rumours
were indulged in with reference to them. It was very gener-
ally reported that the town clerks would not file any affi-
davits in reply to the gross charges of the conspirators, but
we are happy to remove every such impression, and to place
the entire documents themselves in the hands of the public.
It will be seen that these important affidavits at once de-
stroy the only hope the traversers could have had of sustain-
ing their motion for a new trial.
LHere follow the affidavits referred to, which fill more
than three columns of the Herald, and abound with those
endless repetitions, and unintelligible and involved sentences,
for which documents of this kind are remarkable.]
