CLoNMEL, Nov. 1.-Last Wednesday the Spe-
cial Sessions under the• Insurrection Act were
holden io this toivn,,. act.ording to adjournment
front Cashel, when there were present eight Ma-
gistrates, besides Seijelint Jebb and Mr. Moore,
the Assistant Barrister. To the credit of th is neigh.
bourhood, there was not one person from it a fit
'subject for an loam rection case. The two Fitz.
geralds, whose trials were respited from Cashel
for having concealed arms, appeared to have bean
the Intended victims of a malicious informer; and,
after a very full investigation, were not only ac-
quitted, but permitter to have arms in future for
their protection. They have been for some time,
employed as keepers on property of their neigh-
bours to a large, amount (a character of which
the unpopularity speaks for itself), distrained for
rent by Captain Robert's agent ; and have suf-
fered vayiou, injuries in their property, by house-
ning, poisoning their cattle, &c. &c. from the
in.ureents.
Corot, Nov. 2.—Two persans'of the name of
Phillips, who have been in this city for some' days
baek, selling pottery, and who autwer the descrip-
tion of persons advertised in the public Hue-and-
Cry, as having been concerned in a Most atrocious
and horrible murder, perpetrated in the County of
1Va1.,:0, were, we puderstand, on 'Thursday appre-
hended by Mr. William White, linen-draper, an
artive and respectable constable, assisted by it
person of the name of Ntim. Barrow. It apnears
that Barrow, who hat) seen the Hue and-cry in
which those men are particularly described, and
Are stated to be engaged in the pottery business,
some days before seen those strangers in
town, and suspecting them, he went after, and met
them on Bachelor's-quay, and having accosted
them, they informed bins that they were Eng-
men, and that their name was Sullivan. Ile
sUspected strongly that they only assumed that
insure ; and having foend out their lodging in
Tobin-street, he there ascertained that their
real name was Phillips., upon which Bartow
ittruediately went for Mr. White, and both went
towards the Mardyke-walk, where they found
these two persons, and immediately appre-.
headed them and took them before Alderman
Sadler, where they underwent a strict examina-
tion, amd were then committed to gaol. These
have been accompanied to this town by a
third person, who, it. is supposed, is their bro-
ther, Myles- Phillips, also charged Aid) the mur-
' der,loit who lilts unfortunately escaped. tie was
in l'atriek•street,, exposing ware for sale, when
the others were appreheatied, but having got

little doubt hut this man will also be speedily ap-
prehended. The murder was committed on Lau-
reoce O'Hara, the elder,

perpetrating it, went to .the house of his son,
whom they fired at, awl the shut having missed,
they stabbed and mangled him dreadfully.

LAW INTELLIUENCE.

The LORD CHANCELLOR came into Court this

three o'clock. His Lordship- intimated to the
Gentlemen of the Bar, that he should strictly ob-
serve an arrangement, Matte on Tuesday last for
taking appeals and rehearings only on Mondays
and Tneidays during the-Term. Twelve months
ago, he said he gave similar notice, but it was
not observed, 14:141 the consequence wr.s, that he
got through but a small number of appeals. He
could not continue ►he irregularity. His Lord-
ship further observed, that he should attend to
any applications on Thursdays and Saturdays.
The motions were ut no public importance.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 7.

LORD RIVERS V. KING AND OTHERS.

Mr. Serjeant LENS moved for a new trial. in
this.eatise, ‘Vhich was an action of trespass tried
at the last tViltshire Assizes, to ascertain the
boundaries of Cranbourne Chase, over which the
plaintiff claims rights, extending over 500,000
acres in the counties of Mints,- Wilts, and Dor-
set. The defendants denied the extent of these
rights, and seek to restrain them within about
150,000 acres, in what is called the Inner Boun-
dary of the Chase. The trial lusted two days, and
Mr. Serjeaut Leis, who was Conn,el for the
plaintit}, the verdict being for the defendants, was
nearly three !tours in moving for a new trial. lle
stated she course of evidence adduced on the trial,
which traced by ancient documents the rights and
boundaries of the Chase from the time of lien

111., at which time it was in the perisessio-o
of King John, then Earl of Gloucester. The
title was deduced front that period to the pre-
sent plaintiff. With respect to the qoestion
of boundaries, a great vaiiety of ancient court
rolls, grants, leases, and acts of ownership,
Wag shown over the iliiputed [round, a right of
chiminnge, or road toll -rt tl►e oc►te► boundary Of
the Chase. In the 6th of James I. also, t suit
was instituted in the Exeliegner, in which suit
the Barons directed' a map to be made, exhibiting
both the inner and outer boundaries of the Chase,
and that map was also produced at the trial, with
the decree of the Court, establishing the claim-
ant's right over the extent to the outer boundaries.
Besides, there was a Court of the Chase, and the
ancient records of that Court were produced,

which slimed that the Court sat on the disputed
ground. itself.
Mr. Sedeant•BEST, who went down special for
she cause, met this evidence by a great deal of

o' her docuntentary evidence, and attached the
Decree in tne Exchequer as having been obtained
by fiand and collusion. lie also gave evidence of
a variety of aets of ownership of the defendants,
and contended that his evidence went to spew
that between the inner and outer boundaries of the
Chase, was to be considered only as the purlieus
of the Chase, as described by Lord Coke.
The Learned Serjeant having stated the outline
of the evidence given at the trial, moved for a new
trial, on the ground that evidence was received
which ought not to have beets received ; and that
the. Learned Judge was wrong in his direction as
to purliees, the text of Sir E Coke not wartant-
tug the law as was laid down upon his supposed
authority at die trial.
The Court said it was a case of such importance,
that it was fit to grant a Rule to spew cause,
