RECORDER'S COURT, DUBLIN, SEPT. 20.

Yesterday the celebrated Counseller M'MAIION ap-
peared in Court in full costume, holding a brief of
about two inches square, and addressed the Bench in
the following words:
" My Lord, is'n't it a terrible thing for one to be
obliged to ly up and down for a week out of my house
—aye, out of my own house too, my Lord, for dread
and fear of my life, that some terrible violence might
be committed on the body of the miserable rerson
who now addresses you. Why, my Lord, my ca.e
is the most outrageous and the most interesting that
ever you heard, my Lord, and I hope your Lordship
will name a day (not to come here for me), but to
hear this ill-natured, terrible case of assault, and not
have a man kept out of his own house that may be his
for a thousand years, aye, or supposing I wish to leave
it to any person, my Lord."
The RecoRDER inquired if the Bills li'ad been found
by the Grand Jury? and was answered in the affir-
mative, upon which his Lordship informed the Coun-
sellor, his case should be called on the next sitting day.
Counsellor M'MAHON then requested the Clerk of
the Crown would issue summonses to the different
parties, and having been satisfied on that-point, the
Learned Gentleman, with an address, and in a strain
of forensic eloquence peculiar to himsdf, thanked the
Court and Officers for their kind and polite attention
to him.—The Learned Barrister, during his stay in
Court, very humanely volunteered his valuable ser-
vices in defence of several poor prisoners who were
unable to fee Counsel.

Margaret Murphy and Eliza Kavanagh were in-
dicted for having stolen 491. 125. the property of
John Moore.

John Moore sworn—Deposed that on the night laid
in the indictment, about eleven o'clock, he met the
prisoners in some sticet off Grafton-street; the pri-
soners asked him to give them some punch, which he
consented to, and they repaired to a public-house,
where they drank two tumblers each ; they then asked
him to see them home to their lodgings, " a service
which at so late an hour he could not refuse the la-
dies." They brought him through so many streets
and windings, that he (not knowing the -city), be-
sought them to see him back to his lodgings ; the
prisoners, however, prevailed on him to accompany
them home, where they again asked him to treat thein
to punch, and he pulled out his pocket-book and
gave a pound note to a little woman to get some
drink. He fell asleep; when he awoke he /mind the
room empty, and he immediately quitted the house
on searchiiig his pocket and book he found all his
money, consisting of 491. 12s. in Bank notes and gold,.
was gone; on giving information to the Police, they
arrested a woman named Delahunt, and found on her
person a 101. note and some sold.—Here the note
was handed the witness, and he identified it.
