la of his misconduct, muttered some indistinct apology. At first,.
Mr. Holmes proposed sending both to the aka-finlike, but slrs.
Hohnes, who by this time had risen from her bed, overruled that
motion; the weeping Martha was taken charge of by her mistress,
whilst the enamoured cavalier was transferred to the surveillance of
the night con Stable.
Martha, the heroine of this romantic adveritare, viati•then pro.
duced in corroboration of the ahlave. After a pretty preface of
sobbing, ntermingled with apologies, she admitted th'at it was all
true ; the young gentleman was her sweetheart, and she would be
bound would do no an to no gentlernan'slouse. " Indeed,
deed, your Worship," continued Martha," if y?u'orill knOw'd hint
as long and as well as I do, you'd say' yourself he was a must
frOper armless young man." She then stated that It was not by •
tie hall-door that he came in, but through a window which opens.:;.
from the room in which they were discovered to the yard at tl
rear. She locked the door safe as usual; but as " Love laughs a:

implicit credence from the artlessness of its delivery.
The young Troubadour was then called on for his defence, and
with the chivalrous gallantry of a true lover, he put in an unquai.i.
fled Flea of guilty; urging, in mitigation of damages, that being at
the moment entirely under the dominion of love—the sotereirn
despot that sways all hearts, from prince to peasant—his better ft:a-
eon had deserted him ; but he begged to assure their Woo and
the complainant, that he was actuated neither by dishonest nor yet
ilisbonottrable views. Martha was a servant, it was true, but he
116•04 her not the less on that account. Ilis 71( II family, who were
wealthy and respectable, would oppose such a connection ; but as
he felt himself independent of them, he regarded not thcir opposi-
don. So true it is, that—
" The light that lies
In woman's eyes
Had proved his heart's undoing."
Mr. Holmes said, that he believed the young man was more
foolish than criminal, and having made some inquiries concerning
his family, he.tound the statements were quite correct. As it was
tolerably cleaMhat there was no dishonest, and, he trusted, no im-
proper object contemplated, he (Mr. Holmes) had no wish to press
the case any further,• and it was dismissed, after exciting meth liner-
riment to some, much sadness to others.
HOWORA CONCANNON".—The Clare Journal gives the
following particulars of the execution of this crimintl :
—" This wretched woman, the perpetiator of a horrid
murder, suffered the extreme punishment of the law, on
Saturday, in front of the new jail. From the time of
her sentence being parsed, until the instant she was pre-
cipitated from the fatal drop, the Rev. Dean O'Shaugh-
nessy had been unremitting in his endeavours to bring
her mind to a state of peace; and, a short time before
she was removed from her cell, had succeeded so far as
to induce her to conduct herself in somewhat of a be.
coming manner, and, we believe, to join him in prayer.
Until then, her behaviour was 'outrageous in the ex-
treme, blaspheming and screaming incessantly. The
momentary calmness she assumed was, however,
thrown aside, and her screams and resistance renewed
with redoubled violence, when the summons arrived to
conduct her to her last earthly scene. The.most dreadful
imprecations, the most heart-rending apathy, were the
only responses she made to the affecting appeals of the
attending Clergyman. No persuasion, no entreaties,
availed to bring her to. a proper sense of het4ituation;
and forte was at length reluctantly resorted to, to fulfil
the sentence she so jirstly
.merited. She was placed
(after having severely bitten the executioner) with the
rope round her 'neck, lying on the platform; but she
exerted all her strength, and rolled herself back into
the door; in the struggle, her cap had fallen off, and
her hair hung loose and disordered. The Rev. Mr.
O'Shaughnessy then addressed her, but without effect.
She was again forced out, and while sitting on the drop,
was once more exhorted and implored to sue for mercy
to her SAVIoUR ; but she still refused to listen. The
drop fell; but one of her legs, which rested on the
fereithiedfor i'moment supporting her, until re-
moved by,the executioner ; and even in that awful sus-
pension hetsiiien time ind eternity, she continued to in-
'yoke the most horrid curses on.all concerned in causing
her conviction and execution. She struggled for a
considerable time-"
