M,Keal stabbed her in varinuaparts of the body un-
til she was dead. The child was frightened, and
pretended to be asleep. It appeared there had been
an intrigue betwten the ptisoners, and that the wo
'man was pregnant in consequence at the time of the
murdtr, and that their object was to get married.
The circumstances brought forward in support of
the child's testimony were conclusive, and the Jury,
without a moment's hesitation, gave ip a verdict of
Guilty against both ptisoners.

Lease Bneaxtzo.-1-The late Trim Assizes have
been nut less remarkable for a very singular civil case,
than fur the criminal one of Mr. O'Connor. The
case we allude to is that of Lord Clermont against
Sharp. This case had been seven times tried in the
County of Louth, and seven tires his Lordship failed
in establishing his claim. The action was an eject-
ment brought by 11is Lordship to break a lease made
by the late Lord
,Cl;:rmont, as having been made
under-vaine, and a fine of 41300 having been taken
from the tenant. The Court of King's Bench re-
peatedly set aside the verdicts for the defendant, and
at last, as t!.e County of Louth Juries would not finil
as the Court thot.ght the evidence required, directed
the action to be tried in the County of Meath. It
was accarJingly tried in the Summer Assi::es, 1315.
at Trio), and a special verdict found, which, OD ac.
count of nor being sufficiently clear, was set aside,
and the cause ditecte4 to- be tried again. It accord-
ingly came down to Le tried at the last Assizes, and
occupied the Court :or two days. The Jury brought
in a verdict on both points explicitly in favour of his
Lordship. Enuing that a fine of d 782 had been
taken, and that the rent was less than could !sive been
obtained from a solvent tenant. Thus, alter nine
trials, this cause is at length at rest.
