AFFRAY AT CARRICK-ON-SUIR.
TILE KING V. PERSE.

William Henry Perse was indicted for the mur-
der of Paul Slattery on the Bth July last, at Carrick-
on-Suir.

This case excited very great interest, in conse-
quence of the defendant being a chief constable of
.
police, and because the Crown allowed the friends of
the deceased to select their own Counsel, and to
conduct the prosecution. A jury composed of seven
Catholics and five Protestants were sworn.
Mi. SHEIL stated the circumstances which led to
the trial. The disastrous event which formed the
subject of it took place on the Bth June last, in
Carrick-on-Suir. On that day a division of the 65th
Regiment marched into the town; the 76th Regi-
ment were quartered there; some of the soldiers of
both regiments met in a tavern. The question of
Catholic emancipation was brought into discussion,
and the merits of Catholic emancipation went
through a process of military review. The soldiers
of the 65th Regiment differed with those of the 76th
Regiment, and one of the latter rushed into the
street and appealed to the people, who were suffi-
ciently ready to become his auxiliaries; the town
was crowded; it was a holyday, and this disturb-
ance among the military threw the people into exci-
tation ; a tendency to riot spread among the people;
however, no serious violation of the peace took
place at this period. Captain Peise was at dinner
during this affray at the hotel, and on hearing of the
disturbance, proceeded to quell it; he met a piquet
of the 76th, consiating of nine soldiers, and placed
himself at their head, and as he advanced he was
joined by the police—with this united body he pro-
ceeded to the West-gate, where the soldiers of the
65th were rioting, and he put an end to the disturb-
ance. He then marched to Graysten-street, where
he drew up his forces; this was about eight o'clock.
Captain Gibbons came down the street mounted
upon a very spirited horse, rode down Graystone-
street, and the street being crowded, offended the
people by the heedless rapidity of his progress.—
He was assailed by three or four stones. Captain
Perse then cried out that if another stone was thrown
he would order the soldiers to fire. This moment
another stone was thrown, and Captain Pere gave
utterance to the word" fire." This invocation was.
obeyed—three soldiers discharged their muskets,
when the serjeant called on the others not to fire,
but the shots had taken effect—a young woman who
lives by was wounded, and a poor boy fell to the
ground, and it was for his death that Captain Perse
was then upon his trial.
Several witnesses were examined in order to sub-
stantiate the statement of the Learned Counsel;
but the evidence for the defence was of such a na-
ture that the Jury acquitted the prisoner.

OP Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, an
slegantly dressed female was observed walking near the
basin in the Green-park in a very agitated state, when on
a sudden she made a spring and plunged into the water.
Fortunately, she was observed by CROSS, belonging to
Chelsea Water-works, who ran to the spot ; and although
the water was a considerable depth, he jumped in, and by
great exertions succeeded in dragging her out of the water,
but in so exhausted a state, that she was quite insensible.
Tnoszas GRIST, one Of the officers belonging to the park,
and several others came up and conveyed her to Saint
George's Hospital, where every care was taken of her.
She appeared to be-about 30 years of age, and was dressed
in black Olt.
