BURNING OF CIIURCIITOWN BARRACKS.
Timothy Browahan, Patrick 11PAulyfe, and Thomas
Lillis, were indicted for the murder of Hugh Coligan,
at Churchtown, on the 41st of January, 1822. and for
setting fire to the Churchtown Barracks on the same day.
Mr. Goor.n opened the case for the prosecution, and
proceeded to call witnesses.
William Lumsden, Chief Constable of Police, was •
then sworn and examined. He stated, that be com-
manded the Police at Churchtown on the night it was
set on fire. He had dined at Mr. Croft's, and after re-
turning, was sitting in his room, which was apart from
the barrack, the serjeant of the party being with him,
when he heard a shot, and immediately after several
others. He immediately put out the lights, broke
through the partition into the barrack, and found se-
veral of the men wounded. He called to them to turn.
out; they then found the barracks were set on fire; the
party outside demanded their arms, saying that if they
gave them up their lives would be spared. The witness
then went out, and addressing the man who seemed to
command, said he hoped he would be as good as his
wend. He then walked up to a stable in the yard, in
which there were five horses, and requested they might
be let out ; the man told him not to mind them ; ano-.
ther man at that time presented and snap fed a short
blunderbuss at him, but it missed fire, and just then,
Coligan, the deceased,'came out and was shot dead ;
a man of the name of Fitzharris, was also shot, and he
never saw his body since, as immediately after this oc-
curred, a man came up, desired him to give him hi.
watch, and struck at him, in defending himself from
which he received a blow on his arm which broke it.—
I le believed that after this he fainted, for when he r eco-
vered, he found himself in a cabin which had been set
on fire. The attack lasted about half an hour.
John 'Walsh, an approver, and John Moynehan, an
accomplice, proved the guilt of the prisoners, which
was in a great degree corroborated by two Police Con'
stables and others.—The prosecution'closed here; and
for the defence was called
John Walsh is father to the approver of that name,
and he was sorry for it. Ile saw his son at the house
of a man of the name of Tom Connors, the morning
after the burning of the barracks. He made an attempt
on his mother's life, because she would not give him
money. He is not intitled to credit oh his oath, for he
never yet knelt to a Priest. The witness stated of his
own accord, that Major Carter came to him and offered
;':n two 50s. notes to use his influence with his son to do
injury to the neighbours.
Tom Connors knew the prosecutor Walsh, who was
servant to him at the time the bar racks were bun tied.—
Ile saw him eat his supper and go to bed that night, aid
also saw him next morning, and he. could not have got
out without his knowing it.
John Rinehan deposed, that he resides at Charleville,
where he carried on the ti ade ot a shoemaker. He re-
membered the night that the barracks were burnt, upon
which night the prisoner Lillis slept at his (witness's)
house, with two apprentice boys of his. He was in the
habit of sleeping at his house, being a connection of his
wile,(This witness underwciat a very long cross-exa-
ruination; but he was extremely steady and consistent
in all his answers.)
The Jury having brought in a verdict of Guilt!)
against the three prisoners, sentence of Death has been
passed on them; t► be executed the day after to-mot row.
—On • the sentence being pronounced, the prisoner
Lkosnalnin declared he liaew no more of the business

called thirteen-Clough, as oppressors of such takes will suffer ;
so now I cam ion you to give it up, or if not, you will suffer. Look
to the state of Galmoy, and the persecution that such oppressors
deserve ; so, therefore, I hope that you won't be the cause of your

A house at Li,(1111T was set on fire; the assailanis,

Jowever, were so wrcititl as to awake the proprietor, J.
Walpole, lest he should fall a victim to the devouring
flames! The following notice was served on him—
" TAte Nome:—'that I certify to the public, if any person will
take the Lands of Lisduff shall share in the fate and be partaker of
the same punishment with Martini—also his herd, or any person he
employs there.—N. B. I intend to pay a visit to Bradshaw,. if he
does not deal more favourably titan usually—not forgetting Cur-
mack's tenants, which I harm' to see.—l am your friend,

state. Their distracted father having been admitted to
see them on the morning of their execution, irni;Lrej

explained to them the ctrisequences of falsehood at that
awful moment), they all three declared that they were
well aware of their fate if they spc',le faLehood, having
nothing now to hope for from man, and less from Goo,
if they spoke not truth ; they called Heaven to 5.% itness,
in a most solemn manner, that they knew nothing of
the murder till next mottling: begged the mercy of
Goo for their prosecutor, and the prayers of the people;
ascended the scaffold, and continued to repeat the same
declaration till their attention was directed to a more
important concern by the Reverend Clergyman. They
died in about one minute.

CORN-EXCIIANGI:.,iI.itIK-LANE, APRIL 19.
The arrivals of all sorts of Crain last week were only moderate.
This morning the flesh supplies are composed of fair quantities
of Corn front Essex, Kent, and SulLlk, and a few more vessels
.from the North, with Oats. In consequence of 16,908 quarters of
Wheat bring returned, so as to make the London average 745. 2d.
for the second week that regniatts the importation (which is et*.
thinly a false rerun)), our millets have become alarmed lest the
bonded Wheat should be liberated next month : they have therefore
made very few purchases to-d:.y, and the trade is in consequence
dull, at about the -came prices as this day se'nnight. Barley has
found buyers fur the brit qualities, at about the same tems as last
Monday, but inferior sorts hardly maintain last quotations. Beans
fully support the prices of last week. Boiling and Grey Peas both
meet rather heavy sale, but not at lower prices. There has not been
much trade for Oats to day, and last weeks prices were with dim.
culty supported. The Flour Trade is dull.
