Mr. 140!)ert Fierairg coecurred in Cie evidence of
the precedieg witness. '
Mr. Charles Carter, serveyot of the East India ships
in the pot t t i London, aid superintendant of the re-
pairs of these vessels, stated his frill conviction of the
possibility of the vessel being.repaired. He had not
scree her, nor had he ever beets et Limerick, but Ve
formed his judgment solely from the teprifts of the
Surveyors, which had been put into his hands. He
did not think, as %lie sr..s ao American ship of 'Mt-
, tons, she was worth mere tlian A".O a ton.
Mr. Woolcomb nevti eras is Limerick in h l life,
but coincided in the upinion of the last witness, !torn
his also having read the reports.
Mr. Dobrey, broker, Stock Exchange, stated his
having received a letter from the Captain, which ern-
taitied his abandonment of the vessel, in consequence
of th: injniy she had sustained, and that the Under.
writers had refused to ;schrift the abanduttmens, bee
authorised the Captain to proceed in all nee scary
repairs, and pledged thcmielies td advance him e. 15

Mr. Serjeant Diem, in a humourous speech, corn-
bated the evidence of the defendants. He was very
.t
much afraid of the accuracy of Mr. Dean, respectieg
the materials being brought from Galway, as he.be-
lieved there was as little wood to be seen there as
Dr. Johnson saw at the Hebrides. He left is to teci
Jury to say, whether more cidait was to be attacheJ
to the testimony of those who had actually surveyed
the vessel, and knew, from personal observation, t-na
state she was in, than of those WIC) had merely jedge3
from written dozuftents laid before them, and knew

fantry,.from Newport, 5.4-zed an illicit still at Gines
vane, In the County of Limerick ; and, whilst the
soldiers were procuring cars to bring off the seiitru,
a desperate attempt was made by tile country people
to rescue the still from the Officer and six of the
!party that were left in its charge; several ioll7es ofr
stones having been thrown, the soldiers were oblige 4
to fire, which killed one man, and ounded twee
others; the remainder of the peasantry then thought
proper to decamp, and the seizufe was finally brought
off by the Officer.
