Doman, Aram 2.—On a (peculation that the
fufpenfion of the Habeas Corpus Aft had expired,
and that the accounts of its continuance could not
have arrived, feveral of the State Prifoners on
Thurfday and Friday caufed themfelvcs to be
brought before the Judges by Habeas Corpus ; but
as the news of the Royal Affent to the Sufpenfion
reached this city (by means of one of the wherries)
in forty-one hours after it Had occurred, they were
remanded to their feveral prifons.
Tuefday 220 of the 21 ft Light Dragoons landed
from England. '
Area 3.—His ExcellencybfarquisCoatiwaoLts
held a Privy Council at the Cattle, on Tuefday,
and tranfated a variety of bufinefs. At the fame
time a proclamation was ordered to be Wised, cf-
&ring a reward of tool. for the apprehention of
each of the offenders concerned in murdering Wil-
liam Brandon, fhepherd to Mi c HAIL Bum's, Efq.
of Spring-Garden, in the county of Galway, on
the night of the 17th of March laft.
The circumaances relating to this murder are
of a moil atrocious nature. It appears the unfor-
tunate man had been regaling himielf at a-public-
houfe, and going from thence wat fhot
in the breaft, and his head afterwards fevered from
his body.
TRIM, Ma Rel.{ 16.—At Trim Affixes (for 'the.
County of Meath) twenty-one convids received
lenience of death. The number of prifoners in
the calendar amounted to upwards of one btuulied
and thirty.
The following were amongft the moil remark-
able trial's in the Criminal Court at Trim :
James and Patrick Duffey, James Kelly, and
T. Stones, were found guilty of burglary in the
houfe of T. Maguire ; and Donohoe, for
robbing on the King's highway James Barlow,
Efq. of Mwth Great George's-lireet, in January'
left, at Dowdttown, near Bellender. It is• re-!,
markable that the other perfon concerned in this,
robbery, and whom Mr. Barlow could not have
identified, was one of thofe convicted for Ma-
guire's robbery.
MARCH 17.—Ignatius Moore, indided for rob-
bing Eleanor Schoole, on the highway, of a bank
note, of a guinea and half value.
Mrs. Schoole proved that the prifoner called at
her houfe by the road fide, and on her coming out
put a piltol to her head, and commanded her to
deliver whatever money the had about her—on
which the gave him a guinea and half note.
The defence attempted was, that the prifoner
afted under the diredions of the hufband of the
profecutrix, who, as it appeared, had abandoned
her fill. 17 years palt, and lived in England until
a Ilion time ago, when he returned to this country
in order to pad's himfelf of tome property which
had
•defcended' to his wife on the death :of her
mother.
Lord NORDURY, before whom the prifoner was
tried, reprobated extremely the oplion that fuch
an outrage as this robbery could be fanitioned, by
the authority of an hufband. No- other defence
being attempted, the prifoner was -capitally con-
waed.
,Threeperfons named Gilligan, and James Smith,
were indieted for all-milting the dwelling-bottle of
Andrew M‘Gowran--alfo for malicioufly fhooting
at Andrew M‘Golvtan.
M'Gowran proved, that about ten o'clock at
night he was alarmed by (tones thrown at his
door, upon which his two lons took up pitchforks,
;ad he himfelf' a fcythe, and went forth, when a
thot was intiantly fired at them, •svhich paged be-
tween the legs of one of his fons--that they then
law fix perfons who attacked them—one of them,
(--Gilligan)heknew and identified, with whom
he hirnfelf •had a conflift, in which he firuck the
fcythe fo deep in.his head that it broke—the other
five fell upon his two Eons, but the -night being
very dark, he did not know them ; at length, his
fonsheing keenly cut, retreated, and the gang
continued •fighting amonga themfelves, until they
knew each other, when they carried the wounded
fellow wimp
The two tons gave the fame tefliznony, and
identified another prifoner Gilligan. The two
remaining prifoners were taken the next morning
in the honk Val the tithe: two, their clothes -Co-
vered with tatted.'•

The Jury-found the two ?tiro's/514;th= Mend.:
