THE FORGERY at CHELTENHAM.
(From the Supplementary Edition of the Cheltenham

Examiner.)
This case, of which the leading particulars have
already appeared in The_ Sun, charging Dame Re-
becca Ricketts, relict of the late Sir Robert Tristram
Ricketts, and four other defendants, with forging a
will, by which property to a great amount was sought
to be diverted to their own purposes, came to a con-
clusion before the Cheltenham Magistrates on Wed-
nesday, after six days' investigation of the alleged cir-
cumstances.

On the Court assembling, the Chairman, J. E.
VINE]; Esq., rose and said—The Magistrates have
been in consultation from an early hour on their duty
on this important case. They have well considered
the subject, and endeavoured to come to a conclusion
seriously and faithfully ; and they have come to a de-
cision which, I think, no honourable mind could fail to
arrive at. I have the decision in writing, to prevent
mistakes. It is as follows :—lt is the opinion of this
Court, after the most mature consideration of all the
evidence prodtced, that it does not warrant us to pro-
ceed any further, and that the case be dismissed.

IRISH FAIRS—DECLINE in PRICES.
The reports of the various fairs for the present
month are, without a solitary exception, still more
cheerless for the grazier than those held in the pre-
ceding month of October. Indeed, all that now ap-
pears to be hoped for by the mercantile interest is,
that the panic, caused partly by the working of the
tariff, and in a great measure having its source in the
distemper which raged with such fatal effect during
the past summer, has exhausted itself; and that mat-
ters having, to all appearances, come to the worst, an
amendment may be soon reasonably expected. The
following are the latest accounts :
FAIR OF BALLA.—Farmers and graziers fancied in
their simplicity that the prices obtained for stock at
the once important fair of Ballyheane, held in October,
had reached the lowest point ; but they were dis-
agreeably disappointed on Monday last, at the Balla
fair, where it is an admitted fact that prime beef sold
at the rate of lid. per pound. There was an abun-
dant supply of cattle in excellent condition—some
splendid heifers and bullocks, far beyond what was
generally expected—every man bearing in view the
present depressed state of trade, and the possibility of
still lower prices, deeming it advisable to sell now
rather than wait for that contingency;. but the de-
mand proved exceedingly limited, and the consequence
was that fully five-eighths of the stock left the fair-
green unsold. Mr. J. Bourke, of Ballina, bought a
score of bullocks from Mr. Robert Bowen at five
guineas per head, for which the owner paid twelve
or fourteen months since no less than 61. 10s. Mr.
Peter Bourke sold some heifers at fully thirty per
cent. under the amount they originally cost him.
There was a great show of sheep, the very best
quality not realising more than 2d. per pound. The
over abundance of the supply, with the scarcity of
purchasers, made the trade in mutton very heavy, and
prices receded. Indeed, throughout the day, the
non-remunerative character of the sales appeared to
depress the spirit of the graziers—affluent as well as
needy—who not unfrequently poured out curses
loud and deep on Sir Robert Peel's devoted head.
Numbers of petty farmers who drove their heifers,
milch cows, sheep, and pigs to this fair, for the pur-
pose of making out
,the amount of ieir rent and
tithes, now due and payable, could not effect sales on
any terms, even at great sacrifices.—Castlebar Tele-
graph.
TAGHMON FAIR.—The fair held on Friday in
Taghmon was largely attended with all kinds of
stock, but more than usual dulness pervaded every
department of business. The prices of horned cattle
were merely nominal, and very few sales effected.
]Filch cows sold at from 71. 15s. to 101. Sheep 15s.
to 275., and of the immense quantity of pigs none
were able to exceed 265. 6d. per cwt. In stores there
was but a trifling business.--Wexford Conservative.
Scar fair on Saturday bore all the characteristics of
Taghmon the day previous, and, if possible, the de-
mand and sales were yet more dull.—Wexford Con-
servative.

BELFAST FAIL—The fair was held yesterday, and
was in all respects a very indifferent one. The show
of horses was very poor, and few sales were effected.
The cattle market was tolerably well supplied and
attended ; sales, however, were dull, and many beasts
were driven off ground unsold.—Belfast Chron.
CLONMEL NOVEMBER FAlR.—There was a large
attendance on Saturday. Fat cows were in demand,
and sold from 8/. to 101. Milch cows averaged from
71. to 9/. Heifers brought from 41. to 4/. 103. Year-
lings were purchased at 21. 10s. to 31. Fat sheep
rated at 20s. to 30s. Wethers found buyers at 28s.
to 355. Pigs, fit for bacon, were bought at 265. to
295. per cwt. Good horses were scarce. The busi-
ness done at this fair was at lower prices than hereto-
fore.—Tipperary Free Press. . _

THE MARKETS.—PRICE OF PROVISIONS.-At the
fairs and markets held in this county during the past
week provisions and agricultural produce of all de-
scriptions sold at reduced rates, without the least
symptom of improvement. Horned cattle, sheep, and
pigs have been considerably reduced in value, the
owners finding a great difficulty in procuring some-
what more than one-half the price obtainable last
year ; but the butchers persist in demanding a com-
paratively enormous price for beef and mutton. Ex-
cellent heifer beef, alive, is sold weekly from 2d. to
3d. per pound. Why the transition from life to death
should increase its value, in many instances, more
than twofold, we are really at a loss to imagine. The
article of corn, oats particularly, is rather in a stag-
nant condition, with every prospect of further reduc-
tion. On Saturday last oats of a good description
were purchased freely at 3s. per cwt. ; shipping oats,
4s. to 4s. 6d. per cwt. Bacon and butter are also ex-
ceedingly low, to the evident mortification of the
farmer.— Castlebar Telegraph.
