Numerous letteis were read en-

M`Nally, enclosing £6O, another from the clergy of Clan;
fert enclosing £32, and a third from the deanery-of Bal-
linasloe, with £l3. A communication was read from Mr.

would prove unavailing, in -its effects against the eve:

ful Roman Catholic people of Ireland. The observations
of this bigotted priest- were cheered throughout, as was
his departure from the platform, which took place imme-
diately afterwards. A letter from Doctor Mac Hale, ad-
dressed to Dr. Gray of the Freeman's Journal, was read,
contradicting a statement put forward in the communica-
tion of Mr. Stanley, addressed to the guardians of the
Tuam union, in which it was alleged that he was in arrear
in his payment of the poor rate. The letter stated that
he (Dr. Mac Hale) was not a shilling in arrear.—Rent for
the week, £169 10s.
THE SPECIAL COMMISSION.-At Clonmel, on Tuesday,
the Lord-Chief Justice sentenced the following five con-
victs to-be hanged :—John Lonergan, Henry Cody, and
Philip Cody, on the Ist of March, and John Daly and
Terence Corboy on the 4th of the same month ; all the
convicts to be buried within the precincts of the gaol in
which they were confined since their conviction, with the
exception of Daly, whose crime, we are glad to say, did
not terminate with the loss of life. The unfortunate men
were then removed without uttering a syllable to the
court, or to one another—they appeared to be perfectly
stupified and stared wildly round, ekhibiting a greater
degree of terror than has been displayed by. any of the
parties similarly placed during the commission. It is a
remarkable fi,ct, that in these cases, as in the capital
cases tried in Limerick and Clare, the announcement was
received in solemn silence--not a shriek given nor a tear
shed—although in some instances I saw the wife, in others
the father or mother, and in others the children of the
convicts listening to the sentence of the law, which was
to consign those nearest and dearest to them to a prema-
ture and disgraceful death. In passing sentence, his
lordship remarked •on the fact, that neither the wives,
parents, or friends of the prisoners, had done anything to
prevent the commission of the crime, and that they had
been the first to appear against them.

'4IGENCE,

In a case heard in the Hereford County Court, the
plaintiff stated that he had been urged to bring it forward
by the ghost of his intended bride, who had died before
marriage. It was to recover back some furniture from
the deceased's father. The plaintiff gained his suit.
ACCEPTANCE BY A WIFE.—In the case of Lindhurst v.
Bradnall, heard in the Court of Common Pleas on Satur-
day, the judges decided that a husband was bound to pro-
vide for a bill of exchange accepted by a wife, in her own
name, provided the acceptance was with the husband's

authority

ARE RAILWAY SHARES TO BE ACCOUNTED GOODS AND
COMMODITIES ?-At the Bristol County Court, on Satur-
day, in the case of Thomas Jacobs, who petitioned the

nted goods anechatiels, constituting the hold

trader in the meaning of the bankruptcy act. The judge,
Mr. A. Palmer, jun., adjourned the case, that the point
might be argued before him by counsel.
DAIL Gvt.o.n.i., INN v. LAND.-111 this case
a motion was made by Mr. Peacock, to set aside a de-
murrer which had been entered to the action brought by
Mr. Bunn against the celebrated Jenny Lind. This
morning it was positively stated to the learned judges that
Mr. Hoggins, who was counsel for the defendant, had no
instructions to appear. The demurrer was, therefore,
overruled, and judgment is consequently in favour of the
plaintiff. The trial will now come on, in the regular
course, at the sittings of the Queen's Bench at Guildhall

after term.
TEGG V. VISCOUNT PALMERSTON.—At the West.
minster County Court, on Wednesday, an action was
brought by the plaintiff, a coach wheelwright, against the
Right Hon. Lord Palmerston, M.P., to recover the sum
of £l7 10s. for work and labour done for his lordship.

No answer being given to the thrice repeated summons of
the bailiff for his lordship to appear, the case was pro-
ceeded with ; after which the learned judge, having care-
fully examined the entries in the plaintiff's books, made
an order on his lordship to pay the debt and costs on the
16th instant.
Dn. IlAmenEN.—ln the Court of Queen's Bench, on
Tuesday, judgment was delivered in the cause of " The
Queen v. the Archbishop of Canterbury." The Court
was not unanimous, two being for the granting of the
and, two against it. Mr. Justice Erle and the Lord
Chief Justice were of opinion that the mandamus should
be ibfified ; while Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Justice
Patteson, that it ought to issue. Their Lordships gave
their judgments seriatim, and at very considerable length.
The judges being thus divided, the mandamus was denied,
for rule not granted is refused. The cardinal point o'

_
the discussion was whether the office of the Archbishop
in confirmation is. purely ministerial and formal, or whether
it is a substantial and judicial duty ; Justices Coleridge
and Patteson inclining to the latter opinion and that
Au. Risilinn

ought to have been heard. The Lord Chief Justice said
that he was fully of opinion that the Court had the power
-c . hilt it must also be

borne in Mind that the Court had a

iscretion in

issuing of a inanda

pposing even it t

the proceeding compiainea or was or a Jima.. ~......L:i,
and that the Archbishop might be compelled to hear the
objectors. In the exercise of this 'discretion, without

reard to the legal right, he felt hound to-refuse the wri.
