DUBLIN, MARCH st.

At Wexford Affixes, before Mr. Serjeant
Laurence Farlong was tried for the murder
of Mr. Grey 'Thomas, on the 7th of June 1798.
The eircum fiances appeared to be as follow: a
crowd of rebels were alrembled on that day near
Mr. Belle's houfe, on the fide of Vinegar-Hill
(Ennifcorthy), when John ,Hay, fon of -Harvey
flay, of Ballinkeel, rode up, and being allied
6, what news i" he anfwered- very bad ; that
Captain Blacker had deferted them lall night; and
that by —, while there was a Protekant alive,
the Rebels would neither have luck nor grace ;"
and then defied them all to be brought up to
Vinegar-Hill to be piked.
Mr. Grey Thomas (the deceafed) came up to
Mr. Hay with his hat in his hand, and reminded
him that he had been his neighbour and friend,
and entreated that he would protea him : a By
—, I will'protea," replied Hay, and inflantly
cut him. down with his broad (word. He then
afked, a was there no one to finilli the fellow r'
when Furlong (the prifoner) came up, and kneeling
upon the groundllhot him through the heart.—
Furlong was found guilty, and hanged yelterday,
near Wexford.
The fanguinary villain Hay, as our readers will,
probably rccollea, was executed the day after the
King's troops entered Wexford, on innumerable
proofs of the moll flagitious cruelty exercifed againll
the unhappy loyaliits who fell into his hands.

ASSIZES.

At Exeter there were S: prifoners for trial.—J.
Grant, for robbing W. Cannon of a al. note, &c.
Wm. Ford, for houte-breaking ; J. Wilkins for
ditto; Wm. Bifgood, jun. and J. Richards, for
fiseep-Realing, were capitally convieted.
Summary of the Trial of Henry Penfon, fenten-
ced to die for iheep-flealing, at the above Affize*,
on Saturday, March zl, Iticat.
Henry Pe fin, a perfon of confiderable property,
refident at Teignmouth,was indi&ed for Reeling a
fat weather cheep, the property of Thomas Mills,
'butcher, of the fame place.
On the part of the Profecution, it appeared, that.
Mills rented a field of Penton, diaant about a
quarter of a mile from Penfon's hook ; that Pen-
ton was in this field on Friday evening, the 6th of
March, about five o'clock ; that Mills's (beep were
all there about half pail five, and that one of the
fatten was miffing at (even next morning; that
Penfon's maid afked her maitcr, on Saturday, if
the should befpeak the butcher's meat, and lie
anfwered he had provided already; but no meat
was brought to his !sonde that day; that on Sun-
day mottling Penton brought in a neck of mutton
I bidding the maid roan the long bones for dinner;
and that a leg was hung up in the dairy by a hand
unknown ; that his boy afterwards ditcovered a
brcatl, thoulder, and loin 'of mutton, very fat,
and fomewhat dirty, wrapt in a cloth, in a corn-
chef! in his mailer's liable; that, while the long
bones were matting, Penfon told the maid, But-
cher Drake's boy had cut up the meat in an auk-
ward Manner ; that the leg was dreft on the file-
ceading days, and on Tuctilay a loin hung in the
dairy, that in the corn elicit being gone, and a
(beep's (kin found concealed in the hay-loft ; that
the back bone had not been equally divided in
halves, in a butcherlike way ; that Mills got a
warrant on Friday, and went with two contlables
to Penfon's honk; that Penton feeingthem coming
(Drake being one conllable), :tilted die boy if he
had told any one what he had laid of Butcher
Drake's boy cutting the meat badly ? that the (kin,
which appeared to have been taken off tome days,
was found hid in the hay-loft, and the breaß of
mutton cut unfa(hionably, but no (boulder, was
found in a cloth,. in the corn-cheß in the dable ;
that the car and pitch marks and qualities of the
(kin and meat were the fame as thole of the (beep
loft by Mills; that the legshad been cut from the
(kin at the wrong joints; that Drake's boy had
never cut up a (beep in his lite ; nor had Drake
told Penton any mutton for a month , that whiltl
con% eying Penton to 1-ligh-gaol,refling at Newton
on Friday night, Penfon net:pelted the conflables
t let him cfcape in the dark, and propofed to
give them a bond for yoool. that he would ap.
pear at the Affixes on Monday ; and that while in
the fireet at Newton, he endeavoured to run off,
but the contlable having hold of his &int, he was
prevented.
On the part of the Prifoner, it appeared, that
he had a Rack of hay in the field Mills rented,
which field was to revert to him on Saturday,
March 7th, that the doors of the (table and hay-
loft had not been locked many months • that fe-
veral inhabited cottages adjoined to the (table-
lard. which bad alto an entrance from the Rreet ;
that Bowden, a labourer, who lived in one of the
cots, often attended Penfon's holies, and lodged
tools in the (table ; that when the conßables told
Penton they were come to (cards his premifes, he
laid they were welcome to to do; that he might
have efcaped whilft they were fearching, and vo-
ltmtarily went to the Juftice ; that he offered the
;cool. lrottd only as fecurity for his appearing at
the Affixes.
The Prifoner prefented a written Addrds us the
• Jury, which laid great Ards on the improbabi-
lity that a man in his diluent drcundtances fhonld
)mmit to mean a theft, and thus rills his own life
and the happinefs of feveral children, who were
by his endeavours, now placed in fituations of re-
pute and comfort s or that he fitould have put the
mutton in a place, to which his fervent' and neigh.
boors had free accets ; or that he fisould negle& an
efcape, and go willingly to a Magißrate, after the
Mutton was found in his premifes. The Paper
fuggefted, that his enemies (for enemies, it hit:,
he had) might have placed the mutton there, to
bring chi-grace upqn him ; that he could -prove he
was at Exeter on the Friday evening, March 6,
•
and often purchafed meat there.
To fupport the allegations of this Paper, four,
Witneires were called. 11. e fir ft Laid, he was ro
Magy man is houfthoiti e.spoite, fonactim‘s bad

meat from Exeter. The other three 'raid, he had
been lately in Exeter on a Friday, but could not
fay, whether March 6, or Friday before. Neither
Winters could prove he had mutton in Exeter.
Itwas alto Rated in evidence, that when left in
Exeter, he appeared fo rheumatically weak as to
be unable to catch aud kill the limp lofi.
To refute this, former Witnefes were called,
who re.afferted he wasat Teignmouth in the after-
noon of Friday, March 6, worked then in a field
adjoining Mills's field, and made no complaint of
rheumanfm.

Judge LE BLANC fumrned up the evidence
with ftriCt difcrimination of each circumflance for
and againd the Prifoner ; expreifed his regret that
a man of his elate could not produce evidence,
if he had fo lately bought the mutton fairly ; fug-
gelled that he 'night have an accomplice in the
theft ; or might have bought it after Nolen, and,
if fo, mull be acquitted; but exhorted the Jury,
after giving all due weight to his wealth, as a pre-
fumption for his innocence, not to let it operate as
a check on their verdi,ft, if, from the whole evi-
dence, they fhould not doubt his guilt.
Among the prifoners lately tried and con-
demned at Lancaiter Adizes, are J. Duffy and M.
Brady, for robbing Mr. Beale, in Toxleth-Park ;
T. Brady, for robbing Mr. Teafdale, near Kirk-
dale; J. D. Wilkenfon, for forging a bill of ex-
change; and J. Moore, C. Moore, and W. Ryder,
for a burglary in the houfe of H, Webiler, of Mag-
hull, and firing two pittols at him loaded with
three balls, which fortunately miffed him. This
trial laited near fix hourb, and was a very affeeting
one ; not only from the very clear and Ready
manner in which the old man gave his evidence,
confirming molt minutely every article of the
wicked accomplice, through whom the difcovery
of this fccne of villany was made, and proceeding
regularly from the firh attack upon his peaceful
manfion, at twelve o'clock at night, and the firing
the pihols, thus deeply laden, by thofe villains,
who threatened deltruCtion to the old man and his
family, by fetting fire to the houfe, and even put-
ting a rope about his neck, in the pretence of his
wife- with the molt wicked oaths that they would
instantly tic him up, if he did not difcover where
his money was, though he had given the villains
all he had. •

The following were the feventeen prifoners ca-
pitally convieted at York Affixes :
T. HoJgfon, G. Sedgwick, E. Taterfall, and
W. Howorth, for uttering' forged notes, pur-
porting to be the Bank of England notes of 11.
value ; S. Lundy and W. Vaux, for Healing a
cow; W. Stephenfon (aged 14) and T. Green-
fmith, for horfe-Realing ; M. Akeroyd, W. our-
ry, alias Wilkinfon, R. Holliday, I. Doughty,
and D. Newham, for fheep-ftealing ; T. Dobfon
and J. Smith, for burglaries; J. Brook, for high-
way robbery ; and W. Simplon, for returning from
tranfportation before the expiration of his term.
The following were fentenced to tranfportation
for feven years, viz.
A. Huddleflone, W. Dobby, C. Glare, and W.
Dowfe, for divers thefts ; and A. Sharp, a debtor
in the Caltle, for aiding John Williamfon, a pri-
foner in the laid Cagle, convißed capitally of fe-
!Goy, to attempt his efcape therefrom.
And leveret were fentenced to be imprifoned,
whipped, &c.
On Thurfday week were tried at the above Af-
fixes, James Graham as principal, W illiam Graham,
Miles Mallinfon, and William Whitworth, as eid-
ers and abettors; and Thomas Whitly and John
Denton, as acceffaries before the fad, upon an in-
dittment under the Black Aft, for wilfully and
!hooting at Solomon Lumb, of the
towsifhip of Rufhworth, in the Weft Riding, cot-
ton manufaCturer, on the evening of the a6th of
March left. The trial took up about thirteen
hours, during which a great number of witneffes
were examined on the part of the profecution,
many of whom prevaricated very much. Thomas
Whitly, one of the prifoners, addrefred the Court
at confiderable length, Rating the nature of his
connexion and tranfaftions with Solomon Lamb,
and concluding with a ftrong and affefting appeal
to the Jury, in favour of his fervants, James Gra-
ham, William Graham, Miles Mallinlon, and Wil-
liam Whitworth. A great number of witneffes
were called on the behalf of the prifoners, to cor-
roborate the fags Rated by Thomas Whitly. The
prifoners were all acquitted ; it appearing that
Solomon Lumb had, for a valuable confideration,
conveyed and delivered peaceable poffeffion of
certain premifes late belonging to him, fituate in
Rufhworth,' unto Thomas Whitly and John Den.
ton ; and that the crime laid to the charge of the
prifoners was in defending the property of Thomas
and John Denton, and in defence of the
lives of James Graham and William Graham.
One of the molt fin ular trials at Shrewfbury
Affites, was that of John Harris, on an indift-
menu for (hooting at T. Banks, in a dwelling-
boufe, contrary to the Route. It appeared in
evidence, that Banks was an Officer oldie Sheriff
in the year 1797, and bad a warrant iffued
under a writ of poffeffion dirceed to him for the
delivering up of a certain dwelling-boufe in por-
t:Ann of Harris. On attempting to execute this
warrant, Harris fired a blunderbufs at Banks,
loaded with the head cf a fpike nail, and wounded
him. The Jury found the prifoner guilty ; when
two objeftions were taken by his Counfel : The
firft, upon the legality of the warrant under which
Banks shed, winch appeared not to have been in
the name of Bank on account of the interlining of
it, and the witneffes not proving whether the Peal
had beet affixed previous or fubfcquent to inch
interlineation. The fecond qt:eflion, Whether
(hooting in the dwelling-houfe of the prifoner, in
defence of his poffeffion, is filch a (hooting. in the
dwelling-houfe as comes within the meaning of
the liatute ?

At the above Agizer, two informations granted
by the rule of the Court of King's Bench, came on
to be tried before Judge LAWIUNCI, for an un.
provoked challenge to fight a duel, fent by. James
Hazier, late a Captain in the 34th regiment of
fort, to Grey Edward Boohoo, and for a fcanda-
'Gas libel atainil Mrs. and Mifs Boulton, mother
and finer o • Mr. Boehm, ; on both of-which it
ormations osier was found guilty.
