and finally prev'ailed on witness to be sworn.
The, manthea accompanied-wittress into.his father's
house, and these spore him on a book ; shortly after
which witness attended several meetings in the open
air ; at those meetings they were divided into parties
of twelve men each, under the command of a serjeant,
who was , made accountable• by .the Captain for the
suhscri; dons of their party ; at those assemblies there
were armed sentinels stationed round the field in
which die meetings were held. On coming to town
in September last, he was introduced to the Dublin
Meeting. by a man who said they would he acentri+
panied to the meeting by one of the city of Dublin
delegates; prisoner aftes wards accompanied -witness
to the merting as the Dublin delegate. Witness was
recommended to the Dublin meeting by a letter from
his Captain in the country, as a person likely to be of
service to the body. from his abilities in writing, his in-
formation, etc. The Society in Dublin was divided into
Ledges of 4.0 men, under one Master, under him three
Committee-men, and under them 12 private men ;" the
City was also to. be divided into four provinces, or pa-
rish delegates, and over them two national delegates."
There were also County Delegates to the National
Assembly ; there was a County Delegate returned
from his own County; a National Assembly was
holden at Aimagh, on the 2fith of March twenty-
five members attended that Meeting, and amongst
them. witness and prisoner were as delegates far the
City of Dublin ; was at two Meetings at Armagh, and
another Meeting was to have been held, but the
parties were arrested ; at those Meetings no one was
admitted that had not the pass-word or sign; at this
Meeting heard Keenan say he was to have sworn in
a young man from the City of Dublin ; saw at One of
those Meetings a person who was a stranger, and
afterwards the same person was introduced as a
friend, having been sworn. There was an .obliga-
tion in the oath that no brother should, under the
penalty of death, divulge the secrets of the Society;
asked prisoner what was the object of the associa-
tion? Prisoner replied, that during the trial of the
Queen there was an understanding between the Ra-
dicals of England and the people of Ireland that
had she been found guilty, the Radicals were to have
risen in rebellion. A diversion in favour of the
English Radicals was to have been made in Ireland
by dropping seditious papers, in order to draw off a
part of the military forces lions England, and the
Radicals were then to take possession of London,
after which they were to come and assist the Irish in
obtaining their liberation from the yoke of England.
As that event had not taken place, their plans were
in consequence changed, and they broke off all com-
munication with the English, except with the English
Catholics, who were to assist them in overthrowing
' the Government. Prisoner told witness that an emi-
nent Gentleman of the county of Westmeath was:at
the head of the Society, and was going to the Conti-
nent on their business. 0.1 witness remarking there
were no respectable persons attended the meetings,
prisoner told him that he had sworn in a young gen-
tleman, a surgeon in Dublin, as a member. Prisoner
said this in presence of a country delegate, who said
he had about 500 men in the county of Kildare. on
whom he could depen2, and who were ripe for the
directions of the Committee. Keenan gave to this
country delegate papers of instructions for the coun-
trymen, and desired him to be very cautious whom
he would admit. This occurred in November, and in
the March following the same country delegate said
he had 500 men on whom he could depend.
Here some papers were handed to witness, which
he identified as the same papers he had seen given
for distribution in the country. •

After a trial of great length, the Jury returned
a verdict of—Guilty.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5.

This day Edwa7d 13rowne, William Flinn,. Wil.
Creoly, John (I.lVeil, Daniel Moore, and Edwwd
Hughes, were capitally convicted of aiding and
abetting Edmaid Browne, in administering an un-
lawful oath to one Laurence Wood, on the 15th of
September la.A. .

Judge BURTON, in a most impressive and feeling
manner, sentenced them to be transported for life, and
Lawrence Wood for seven years. After the sentence
was pronoutued, the scene in ,the Hall was truly
affecting—mothers and cltildren piteously bewailing
the fate of their misguided husbands and parents;
lamenting their misfortune,, and, in the bitterness of
their sorrows, cm sing the villainous authors and pro-
moters of The infamous system and association.

Dna;an, Nov. s.—Sunday evening, between eight
and nine o'clock, Mr. JANIES RZYNOLDS, of the Fingal .
Arms Tavern, Summer Hill, was mortally wounded,
on the Glassnevin road. He had been attending a fu.
neral at St. Margaret's, and was on his return to
town, accompanied by a friend. Just as they had
reached Ballymun, three men, one of whom had the
appearance of a-sailor, started from belthid a hedge,
cried " Stop!" and at the same moment fired. Mr.
Rernotos and his horse were both struck, but con.
c:iving it to.be his best plan to push forward before
the villains could load a second time, he .applied his
spurs, and the horse canted him about a quarter of
a mile, when it fell, and threw him on the ground on
his shoulder, He then perceived, for the first time,
that he- had been wounded, -and called oat to his
companion, " I am shot!" - After some time assist-
ance was procured, and he was carried to Jervis-
street Hospital, whe e he espited at one o'clock yes.
terday. Three :dugs had entered his body, one passing
'in just at the navel, and the two others taking an
oblique direction immediately above it. Th 2 de-
ceased was. a most. amiable and .respectable young
'wan' about 2* )ears of age, and was on the point of
bell; toarricd. llis companion escaped unhurt.
