. . DUBLIN, COMMISSiON COURT. ,
Jeremiah Dallas was indicted tor having .forgefor
counterfeited the aignatiwe of Lord Kitbury, as Chief
Justice of the Court of Common Pleaso.,tt► a declara-
tion on au ejectment alleged to be ;Salad from this
Court.,
Mr. GRIM, as-Ctunsel for the prosecution, steimi
the nature of the present charge in an able and pers-
picuous manner, and inrormed the Court that the
Noble end Learned Lord. °whose name was thus in-
sulted and high office violated, would himself appear
to bubstantiate the charge brought against the prisoner
at the bar.

Lord Noesuav being sworn—ls Chief Justice of
the Court of Common Pleas ; remembers the two
affidavits in
,this case being shewn to him at his
house: on the first view of them, might have ex-
pressed suspicion respecting his having signed the
last one ; but whatever his opinion might then have
been, be now tank more pains to examine the signs.
tures. and was fully of opinion that both signatures
were his baud writing. From the disagreeable effects
.of a gouty affection in his sight hand, considerab
variation mud necessarily arise in his writing on dif-
terent occasions. The one written on the Bth of July
was manifestly his; the alteration in his hand-writing
trom that thy to the 17th of the same month, when
be signed the second affidavit,and which occasioned
his doubt when he saw it at his house, must clearly
arise from that causes and he had no hesitation to
say, on a more careful review of the signature, that
he had no doubt at present but that it is his hand-
writing. " You, Gentlemen,ne doubt, will think it
, a very bad hand at the best, and you are perfectly
welcome to make any hind you please of it."
, Mr. MctilAtmr.—" The only hand I shall make
of it, my Lord,, is, that I am very sorry my friend's;
long and flourishing speech has been thrown away."

CAITLRILS.I4. Nov. 7.—Monday. last an account
reached us of a burglary and ferocious robbery, at-
tended with most aggravated circumstances, on the
night preceding, at the house of the re.
sidence of the Rev. Mr. Gorge, near Folioed, intlais
county.. This respectable Gentleman has only, within
the last week, taken possession of the living of :Fox.
ford, and is a perfect stranger in that county; it is
not, therefore, to any objection of his character oe
conduct, that the disgraceful and inhospitable reeeps
tion he experienced is to be attributed. On Sunday
night his house was forcibly entered by about a dOlien
persons, well armed, who rifled. it',of *very article
that was valuable and portable, including cosh to
the amount of one hundred pounds, two or three
watches, mid a considerable quantity of plate. Every
thing Out the Villains conceived to be useless to
them, or which, in their possession, might lead to
discovery, they destroyed upon the :poi; they broke
the windows and all the brittle wire sin the house.—
One of them deemed Mr. Gorge to fall upon his
knees, that he might shoot him ; and when the Gen-
i demon courageously replied, that it be was to be shot
it must be standing; the unmanly ruffian pulled the
trigger,-but PitovlooNca kept back the fire, which
only flashed in the pan, when the fellow's anxiety to
partake of the plunder, which he observed his coin:
dfviding too freely among themselves, di-
veiled him. from the purpose he had coueekved, of
taking away the life .ot Mr. Gorge. They stripped
the rings from off WS. Gorge's fingers, and even
deprived her of the clothes with which she had hastily
and loosely covered herself at the moment of their
unseasonable *risk. "lei:were offered the keys of the
• several boxes and lOckieg-up places in the boom,
which they declined using, preferring to beat them hs
.with the bet-ends of their muskets, of which they hod
.seveial in good condition. When they were going
-away Mr.' Gorge asked them to. return him an old
watch, not intrintically valuable, but which had bee,
the property 01 mapy,o( his auce.stors, and the nit
&int refused hint :this inconsiderable, article oV thee

On Tuesday, Noel Horkan, of the Swineford Yee.

were at a house at Cunian, within three miles of.
Swiueford. He communicated the matter to Messrs..
Cosgrave and Giles, revenue officers, and ,tlie three.
agreed to 'proceed to the place, with three other Yee.,
