THE GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY!!!

From the TVestern (Tralee,) Herald, March 26.)
THE KING V. BATT DALY.

It has seldom been our duty as public Journalists to re-
cord so sublime an instance of the " glorious uncertainty
of the law," as occurred in this case, before Mr. Sergeant
Lefroy. The prisoner Batt Daly, was indicted for steal-
ing eight " Sheep" the property of John Lynch, the pro-
secutor, who so satisfactorily deposed to the rubbery and
identity of the prisoner, that the Jury should have re-
turned a verdict of Guilty, had not Mr. Jeremiah Lynch,
the agent of the prisoner produced James Bens,,n, who
deposed, that he was present when prosecutor found what
he (prosecutor) supposed to be " The Sheep" in question
in the custody of prisoner—but that upon minute exami-
nation (by witness B.) he could positively swear, that
two of the eight were " Rams" and not "Sheep !" Mr.
Sergeant L. in charging the Jury, declared, that never
during his experience had legal ingenuity or legislative fic-
tion contemplated the possibility of such a defence being
had to screen actual guilt; and that but for the point put
forward by the prisoner's agent (Mr. L.) he would re-
ceive the sentence which the crime merited,—dwelt upon
the enormity of the crime,—and admonished the prisoner
never again to appear in a Court of Justice, for that
though he escaped now, he would one time appear where
the legal ingenuity of his agent would avail him nought.
Verdict—Not Guilty ! !

Select Committee to consider of the best mode of ventilst-

ing the liouse of Lords—viz., Lord ELLENBOROUGH,

LAND, Lord COLCHESTER, and Lord SICELIIERSDALE.

The Dowager Marchioness or HERTFORD

The Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the
Princess AuctlsTa. yesterday, at her residence in the

The Duke of WELLINGTON had along in-
terview yesterday morning with Mr. Secretary PEEL, and
afterwards left town for the King's Palace at Windsor, to
have an audience of his MaJzsTir.

Baron BuLow, the Prussian Minister, had a
conference which lasted near two hours yesterday, with

DRURY-LANE THEA'rRE.—MiSS PHILLIPS
appeared here last night as Cordelia, to You No's King
Lear. Both parts were admirably sustained : the lady's
particularly so.
The Duke of WELLINGTON is remarkably
active in hie habits, and an early riser. His Grace is ge-
nerally walking in the interior of St. James's Palk by
seven• o'clock in the morning. Some weeks since his
Grace was walking in the new inclosuree when it was
scarcely light. He returns home to breakfast between
nine and ten o'clock, and during the day is occupied in offi-
cial business, seeing the Cabinet Ministers, who consult
him on any important occurrence that happens in their
different departments ; also the Foreign Ministers, the
Secretaries to the Treasury, &c. His Grace has very
little leisure for walking or riding in the middle of
the day. When the Duke goes to Windsor he rides
on horseback part of the way (his travelling open
carriage following him), till he feels inclined to dis-
mount and enter the carriage, which has seldom more
than a pair of horses to travel with, and only one servant
attends. The open carriage in which he travels is a great
favourite, haing very light ; his Grace used it in Russia.
The Noble Duke frequently is present at several parties in
the course of an evening. He lately presided at the City
of London Orphan Establishment, thence to the French
play at the English Opera House, and from that entertain-
ment he went to the party given by the Lady of the Dutch
Ambassador, in Bryanston square. His Grace takes very
few 'hours rest. He sleeps on his favourite camp bedstead.
_-Morning Parer.
The following putline of the intended changes
in the Law Department in Ireland will be found to differ
in many respects from one which circulates at present
with some appearance of authority. We have reaaon tcs
believe that our infornuption will pr.ive substantially cor-
rect ; but as the changes are only prospective, or, to speak
more accurately, initiative, we do not pretend to absolute
infallibility. Three vacancies will be made on the Bench
Qf the Irish Court of Exchequer. The Chief Baron, Lord
W. p. aid Mr. 4arnn
Lawn 'retire. 11r. 4gv, the present Irish attorney-Ge-
nerJl, will, probably, succeed the LORD CHIEF BARON.
Mr. JOY has the character of a profoundly learned lawyer ;
end boil being very little inclined to take au active part in
the local politics of the day, will in all probability, make
an admirable Judge--indeed, he seems much better calcu-
lated for such an appointment, than for his present one.—
This, of course, negatives the statement pretty positively
given out, that ford o.triceTT was to he transferred from
the CoMmoh Pleas to the' txaequer. We believe that if
any transfer is contemplated in the rerson of the lastsnamed
Learned Lord, it will be the highest station in the Equity
fiepsrtrue4. Tlte I,F4nOne Nnsequent unfit the retire-
ment of Sir W. C. Salmi and Barim SI`c'ELLANP
it is said, to be filled Up by Mr. LERLIE POSTER and Mr.
Serjeant The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for
Ireland will, in the event of Mr. JOE'S appointment to the
Bench, be his successor. Mr. WALLACE is likely to be,
in that case, the new Solicitor-General. We repeat our
original declaration, that we do not pledge ourselves that
all these changes will be exactly realized; but we do assert
that thpy come to us from a good source of information,—
