C 4, NOVEMBER 25, MIS.

Mr. Alderman HOOPER thought such a proceeding per-
fectly unnecessary, and he considered that it ought to be
discontinued. Was the defendant suspected of opening
his house on a Sunday morning for the sale of exciseable
liquors ? Surely there ought to be some reason I. hy
policemen went in disguise to licensed victuallers in the
way the defendant had been visited.
The constable said he had never detected anything
wrong in the way the defendant conducted his house.
There was a side-door up a court to the premises, how-
ever, which excited their suspicions, as frequently seve-
ral persons had been lurking about.
Mr. Alderman WILSON did not see that a number of
persons strolling about a publican's door would show
that it was opened for Sunday trading ; in fact, it was
quite the reverse. It showed that they wouk not be ad-
mitted, and were waiting until after divine service, when
it would be opened.

Mr. Child did not deny the charge that bad been laid
against the defendant. but he would contend that his
client was perfectly justifiable in the course he had pur-
sued. His door was knock( d at by a man in private
clothes, who said that he was a policeman ; but what
proof had the defendant of such being the fact ? Even
if he had been in uniform, and had not his band round
his arm, which alone showed that he was on duty, his
admittanee could not have been legally demanded ; at
least, if it had been complied with, and a policeman
w is found on his premises by constables who were on
duty, the defendant would be liable to be brought to
that Court for a similar offence as he was now charged
with. Would the Bench countenance such a system as
the police prowling about as spies, dressed in disguise,
for the express purpose of entrapping licensed victual-
lers? What security had the defendant that the police-
man was not an impostor, and that he mentioned his
being of the police to get into the house to obtain re-
freshments; and suppose that he really was an impos-
tor, and the defendant had incautiously admitted him;
his client, in the event of being visited in reality by the
police, would be summoned to that Court for a like
offence he was then charged with. He trusted. there-
fore, that the Bench would dismiss the case; for, view
the evidence in any way that was most likely to press
against the defendant, it could not be denied that the
defendant had acted in the most proper manner. He
had his house locked up, and he took the most secure
step in not opening it.
Mr. Alderman WILSON having had a short consulta-
tion with Mr. Alderman Ilooper, said he did not ap-
prove of the plan of policemen going to licensed vie•
tuallers in private clothes, and seeking admission ; and
he had not heard any reason why they had adopted such
a system of detection. The Bench believed that the
defendant did not think that the party knocking was a
policeman, and therefore the case was dismissed. As
regarded the objections made by Mr. Child, at the com-
mencement of the inquiry, the Bench did not give an
opinion.

Mr. Alderman HOOPER entirely coincided with his
brother Alderman's remarks, and he begged to state that
a publican had no right to open his house to any per-
sons but those attired in the police uniform. The sum-
mons was accordingly discharged.

in the employ of Mr. Smith, in Cambridge-street. He is
now in Bangor, where this ill-fated woman formerly belonged.
The wash-bowl in the room contained a quantity of bloody
water, from which it is evident that the murderer washed his
hands after his bloedy work.
A letter was found in the room addressed A. J. T. to M.
A. B. , also a pair of men's chewers, cane, and stocking, and
a bunch of keys. Dr. Moriarty, who was present at the exa-
mination, said it was impossible for her to move after she
received tilt death wound, and he must have dragged her
from the bed. In the straw bed under which she slept, a
bunch of matches were found nearly burnt up.
Suspicion, amounting almost to certainty, is fixed upon
Albert J. Tirrell as the murderer, though he has not yet been
arrested. Tirrell was arrested some time since, at New Bed-
ford, on a charge of adultery, and was lately discharged, hav-
ing compromised the matter. He is said to be a native of
Weymouth, in this State.—Bostert Mail, Oct. 27.

A FULL-BLOODED DEMOCRAT.
A meeting of the democratic republican electors of
New York was held upon the Oregon question a night
or two before the Hibernia sailed; and as a specimen of
the mode in which they conduct business on the other
side of the Atlantic, and of the order and harmony which
seem to prevail among them, wo take a few extracts
from the report:—
" The Chairman, amid great confusion and uproar,
proceeded to state the object of the meeting. Here, a
low, ruffianly looking individual, pushed himself for-
ward on the platform, and took his scat beside the
Chairman.

" Captain Rynders immediately seized the offender,
and, in the true democratic spirit, en' lly knocked him
down.—(Great confusion, hisses, and yells.) The used-
np individual shouted that he was a full-blooded de-
m ,erat.

"Captain Rynders—Well. then, behave like one—
that's all we want.—(Elurrah, shouts, a::d deafening
cheers. Go it, Rynders—sho ,v your authority—hit him
again, old boy'—were among the exclamations which
this patriotic sentiment called forth.)
" Voice in the crowd—l move that Captain Rynders
make a speech.

" Captain Rynders—Shut up; I shan't.
" Here a very fat, greasy-looking fellow, with well-
plastered soap locks, called for three cheers for Mike
Walsh.

"Edward Straing attempted to make a speech, but in
consequence of the uproar, and cries of Put him oue—
Stop his mug'—' Hurrah'—' Boots,' &c., was obliged
to desist.

" A fight now took place on the platform—several
men got on the reporters' table, and their object seemed
to be to ascertain who could yell the loudest.
" Three groans for Tilden were then called for and
given. The vast hall was in a state of commotion—rows,
fights, and yells, the order of the night. Hats were
knocked off and crushed—noses smashed—eyes black-
( ned, and shins bruised.

" A man in a blue coat on the stand now cried, ' Til-
den's nomination's carried.'

" Fat man in the crowd—You be d—d; you're a
Custom-house officer; go to h-11.

"Another Voice—Three cheers for Tilden.
"Fat man, who had now lost his hat—Three groans.
Where's my hat?—(Laughter, hisses, and shouts.)
" Barn-burner—l move we pull the Chairman down.
"Captain Rynders again attempted to make a speech,
but failing to obtain a .hearing, said, 'He didn't care a
d—n for anybody.'
"The Chairman read a series of resolutions.
" After one of the greatest scenes of confusion we ever
witnessed, during which several rows occurred, some-
body said the resolutions were adopted.
" The cries for Walsh were now renewed from all
quarters.
" Mike Walsh now obtained a hearing, and was
greeted by tremendous applause, shouting, waving of
hats, caps, and handkerchiefs. At great length he spoke
of the effected sympathy for the hard-working man dis-
played by rich loafers,' who were ever ready about
election times to step up and affectionately shake by the
hands any poor man who had a vote, though the wind
might be playing hide and go seek through the tattered
scat of his breeches; but, asked Mike, when did one of
these nabobs. rolling in luxury, the fruit of the sighs,
groans, sufferings, and even premature deaths of the
poor men, think of inviting his ragged friend' to
dinner?

" Three cheers were then given for Mike Walsh, and
amid shouts, yells, confusion, and several small rows, the
meeting broke up."

ARRIVAL OF CONVICTS FROM DUNDEE.—On Satur-
day the Elbe, Captain Gray, arrived in the river Thames
from Dundee, having on board ten male and seventeen female
convicts sentenced to transportation. Three of the ship's
boats were lowered from the ship, and the convicts having
been placed in them, under a strong guard, they were rowed
to the Penitentiary at Millbank, where they were safely
lodged, preparatory to being sent on board convict ships.
THUNDER STORM.—On the evening of Wednesday
last, between the hours of six and seven, the vicinity of this
town was visited by a storm of thunder and lightning, ac-
companied with rain, as violent and extensive as it was un-
seasonable and unexpected. When we say extensive, we
refer no less to the duration of the storm than to its
range: and although it has not produced any mischievous
effect that we have yet heard of, we are not without fear
that it may have been injurious in the localities
over which it. ranked;: for contrasting the broad sheets
of dsta7.ling, flashing light, intensely white and bril-
liant, with the remote and repercussive character of the
thunder, •we cannot but infer the electrical action to
.have been almost unprecedently energetic. The flashes
were rapidly repeated ; and, in some instances, a second sheet
of light beamed along the sky before the thunder from the
preceding one had reached the ear. A complete deluge of
rain followed the thunder peals. The course of the storm
seemed to be from the south or south- west ; but at times it
so illuminated the entire atmosphere as to make "the en-
trance and the exit " of the lightning indiscernable. At eight
o'clock, after a brief interval of tine weather, the storm re-
newed, and continued at intervals until nearly eleven o'clock,
but it obviously became more and more distant, and did
not increase in force. It may be as well to state that
the atmosphere was most tempestuous on the preceding
evening, the wind blowing a complete hurricane, and that
the weather had been most unseasonable, in fact, close and
almost sultry, for a few previous days. That these violent
electric interchanges will purify the atmosphere, and nip a
host of diseases in the bud, there can be little or no doubt :
and, if we are spared the task of recording any accidents and
injuries, we shall say to the strange visitors—" all hail."
Since the above was written, we have heard it stated that five
cows, and one bull, the property of Mr. Michael Hughes,
Treferwydd, were killed by lightning, on his farm, near Bryn-
siencyn, Anglesy. Another accident of the same kind is re-
ferred to by our correspondent from Festmiog.—Carnarvon
Herald.

Tlll3 MURDER AT N EWTONIIREDA. BELFAST,
Nov. 20.—0 n the evening of Monday, the 10th inst., as two
brothers, 'William and Hugh Crawford, accompanied by some
of their friends, were returning from Belfast fair to Newton-
breda,a village three miles distant from Belfast fair the party
were waylaid and assailed near the former place by another
party, some of the persons composing which have been since
identified. The two Crawfords sustained such serious injury,
that one of them, William, died the same evening, and the
other is not vet pronounced out of danger. ♦n inquest was
held on the Wednesday following to inquire into the circum •
stances connected with the death of William Crawford. After
a number of witnesses had been examined it was adjourned
till this day, at ten o'clock. Dr. Tyrell, Coroner for the
county of Down, opened the Court, and proceeded with the
further examination of the case. The evidence adduced did
not cast much light on the motives which had led to the out-
rage, but sufficient transpired to authorise the Coroner to
commit for trial three men in custody, of the respective
names of James Spence, Thomas Spence, and John Woods.
They will, accordingly, be tried on the charge of man-
slaughter at the ensuing Downpatrick assizes, and have been
meanwhile admitted to bail, themselves in 1001. each, and
two sureties in 501. each.—From a Correspondent.
Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re-
gistered Paletot to suit the ever-variable nature of our cli-
mate, forming, as it now does, not only the sine qua non of the
railway traveller, but is equally adapted for any gentleman
taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark
the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly
called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending
and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling so much at ease.
Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is also
a general public favourite, being so peculiarly English, and
avoiding all foreign appearance or extravagance in man-
ner. it must be acknowledged as a vast improvement over
the old great coat, associated in our remembrance with an
uncomfortable sensation of tight buttonings, which, from its
very clumsiness, defeated its object, the warmth of the per-
son, as interfering with the proper circulation of the blood.
The principal hues are black, blue, brown, and olive; also
the clerical mixture, called Oxford, and can be had of the
patentees, or only of the most respectable clothiers out of
London. Every winter paletot is three guineas, and is
stamped in the lining with the words, " Registered 6 and 7
Vie., cap. 65. H. J. and D. Nicoll, 114, Regent-street
London."

IS CONSUMPTION CURABLE P—While all other ma-
ladies known to modern medicine slay their thousands, con-
sumption may be said to slay its tens of thousands. Every
family in the empire, therefore, is concerned in the discovery
of a remedy for its cure, and hence the great importance and
paramount interest of the treatise, "Observations on Anaspa-
sia in the Cure of Asthma and Consumption." The writer is
Dr. Cronin (Physician to the Dispensary for Consumption),
so well known to the public in connexion with the successful
treatment of asthmatic and consumptive maladies, as well as
by his published and practical efforts in the cause of hu-
manitv. We shall go no farther at present than to express
a strong conviction in favour of the mode of treatment re-
commended, which, from the facts that have come to our
knowledge, we really believe has accomplished that which
the author states.—City Chronicle. Wertheim, Paternoster-
row, third edition, price 3s.
