EIRRET SESSION.!, OCTOBER 27.

Thosnas Chcssser was indicted for stealing a piece
of leather, the property of Mr. S. Collard, a shoe-
maker. It appeared that the prosecutor hid been
robbed for a considerable time past of leather, and
had used every means to detect the thieves without
effect, but the prisoner, who had worked for him a,
long time, was, on account of his high character for
religion and reputation, as a preacher to a ntnneroms
Mditodist congregation, the last man on whom his
suspicions co d have fallen. On the4th of October
some leather was marked, and when the prisoner
came for work as usual, one of the prosecutor's ap-
prentices kept a watch upon him from the parlour.
The prisoner was seen to slide a piece of the marked
leather, which was lying on the counter, into his bag,
upon the shopman turning his back. The prisoner
then left the shop, but was followed and brought
back, when the leather was found in his possession.
It was identified by Mr. Collard as his property.
The prisoner, in his defence, admitted that the lea-
ther in question had been found in his possession, but
declared that he had no intention of converting it to
his own use, but that be had brushed it into Ins bag,
by accident. The possibility of this was positively
I denied by the witnesses. -
Several persons of the prisoner's acquaintance came
forward, and gave him an excellent character as a
man of pious ways!
The Jury found him Guilty, when the Chairman,
Mr. HA RRISOY, animadverted on the peculiar enor-
mity of the prisoner's conduct in assuming religion
as a cloak to enable him to rob with security. The
Court sentenced him to be imprisoned for twenty-
four months, and put to hard labour.

ENNISKILLEN QUARTER SESSIONS.
Friday se'nnight several persons, said to have been
concerned in the riots and assaults committed at
Roscolbin, in this county, on the 12th of July last,
and also against whom several other informations
were returned for the riots and assaults at the Fair
of Stragawnagh, oa the 24th of August, were called
on their recognizances, and appeared in Court to
take their trial.

Mr. Kitaxism, as Counsel for the traverser:, said
that previous to his clients being called on to plead
to the several indictments found against them by the
Grand Jury, he begged leave to submit a few obser-
vations to the Court, and to the professional Gentle-
men concerned on the other side. He wished it,
however, to be distinctly understood that the propo-
sition he intended to make proceeded entirely from
himself; and that it was not the result of any com-
munication he had had with the traverser:. The
County of Fermanagh was peculiarly distinguished
from many other Counties (with the exception of
some party differences) for its long continued peace
and tranquillity, the loyalty of its inhabitants, and
their obedience to the laws. The cause of those party
quarrels it was not necessary for him to advert to;
he had a more pleasing duty to perform, namely, to
allude to that cause which in the course of a few
weeks has so much contributed to extinguish all
party feeling, arising from prejudice and a difference
of opinion on religious subjects. In considering the
facts stated in his brief; be said he found it quite
im-
possible to discharge his duty to his clients, without
I disobeying the admonition of his Sovereign—an ad-
monition which, next to the commandment of the
Malicia of his being, he should ever hold in respect
and veneration.—(Here Mr. Kernan read the King's
letter, and made several appropriate comments on its
contests.) The term g‘ loyalty," he said, had hitherto
in this country been very unintelligible, and could
not be understood by any illustration arising from'
the conduct of those who claimed the exclusive pos-
session of it. Henceforward Irishmen of all religions
would find its true definition in their Sovereigns let-
ter, a copy of which he recommended to be posted
up in the Lodge-rooms of the Freemasons and Orange-
men of the County. He would no longer detain the
Court. The proposition be had to make was, that the
professional Gentlemen concerned on both sides
should consult their clients on the propriety of each
party pleading guilty to the indictments, and-enter.
ing into a recognizance to keep the peace, pursuant
to the admonition and injunction of their Sovereign.
By this means the ends of justice would be better at-
tained than by fostering the prejudices of the people
by the discussion of irritating topics. He concluded
by saying, that he was persuaded the Court would
concur in the proposition, and that the punishment,
if any, would be very trifling.
Mr. KERNAN'S proposal was acceded to by the
parties. Orangemen and. Catholics interchanged mu-
tual forgiveness, and were permitted by the Court to
return to their respective homes, fully determined in
future to “ love their neighbour as themselves."
Mr. MAUNSELL, the assistant Barrister, in his ad-
dress to the parties, said that every exertion on his
part should be used to give effect to the sentiments
contained in his Majesty s letter.

Thursday, the usual Examination of the Scholars
of Merchant Tailors' School took place before the
