TRIAL of BRIDGET BUTTERLY and BRIDGET
EMIL FOR MURDER.
The trial of these two wretched females being
blows to be fixed for yesterday the Court, immedi-
ately after the doors were opened, began
the Judges
to till, and by
tanVeissek (at which time their Lordships
nevi Ted) Ives literally crammed : never did we see
greater anstiety evinced by all ranks on any occasion
et a criminal prosecution; ions it to be wondered at,'
considering the novel nature of the cue among es,
namely, two females conspiring to murder one of their
'ens sex, and, unfortunately, but too folly accom-
plishing their purpose. As soon as the Judges had
mites their seats, a Jury was sworn, to whom the pri-
mal,a were given in charge, for the crimes for which
Irserly stated them to be arraigned, viz.:—
murder of Mary Bilie, and the robbery of
Jellilleek, Es both
a
th In t
q.,he parish of St. George,
intim county of Dublin.
Aker some prefatory observations. the ItrcoaDeu
stated the case for the prosecution. The only new
feet, be stilted, was, that a trowel was (as well as the
poker, formerly mentioned,) found covered with blood
near the murdered body of the deceased. This trowel',
belonged to the person who bid been spoken of eel
Captain Pccl.'s man-servant, but who, in hates such,
was a
Mares, and nut a regular servant, or engag he-
tboogh be often went of messages. and did other

Illsabeth O'Connor lived. On the morning of the
Seth of March be had been working in the line of his
tads et the Captain's house, and had left his trowel
behind hise, whn be accompanied Mr. Peck to market.
After the Receorder had concluded his statement of
the ease, the first witness called was—
John Peck, Esq., who, being sworn, was examined
by Mr. lisliane, and stated in %Astute', that he was
a Llestenut in the Line, on half pay, and was Captain
sad Adjutant in the Militia; that he has a house io
Poetised-place, in which Mary Bails lived : that she
is now dead; that."' the morning of Wednesday, the \
98th day of March, be saw her at about a quarter be-
ton twelve o'clock, in good health and spirits, at

she wiped it and laid it on the table. Ws, aftert saw n ,
the Police-office a flannel petticoat and shift. n bleb
she knew to belong to the deceased; they were pro.
diced and identified. This woman underwent a long
and ingenious cross-examination by Mr. Bennett.
which did not produce any thing t.• contradict the
substance of her testimony on the direct examination.
Edward Connor, husband to the foregoing witness,
corrob d
orate the testimony of his wife and Captain
Peek, and also as far as be was mentioned in the evi-
dence of each.
The facts of Butterly being detected with a note
for NI. of the value of which she appeared ignorant,
her apprehension and that of Ennis, together with the
property found on each, and the frightful state of But
terly's clothes, which respectively appealed in our
former reports, were fully proved by Mr. (Elbert, the
Deputy Gaoler, peace-officers MiCartney and Dynch of
the Head-office, and peace-officers Campbell and
Hely, of Ma r I borough-st reet. rebid', with the fore-
going, formed the entire of the evidence for the pro-
secution.
No witnesses appeared on the part of the prisoners.
Judge Bunvom recapitulated the evidence with great
perspicuity; after which the Jnry retired fur about
ten minutes, when they returned with a verdict, find-
ing both prisoners Grainy of the murder and the rob-
bery. Judge BURTON then proceeded to pronounce
sentence, which was, that the two prisoners Bridget
Butterly and Bridget Ennis, he taken to the place from
whence they came, and thence be taken to the place of
execntion on Friday, where they are to hang until
they are dead, a titi then to be dissected and anti.
tomised.
The prisoners appeared unmoved throughout the
entire day, until sentence was prouounced, when they
seemed dreadfully agitated, and nearly fainted in the
dock. Some water was procured and handed to
them. The crowd all day was excessive, and the in-
terest excited during the trial was intense.
'fbe trial lastetl from ten o'clock in the morning
until nine at night
The prisoner Butterly is a mild looking woman,
of rather small stature, and soft expression of coin-
tenaure.
Ennis is more confident in her looki, has larger and
bolder features, and is much about the same height as
Butterly.

Tye LATE STORK IN LANCASHIRE.--.-111 addition to
the ravages of the storm of Wednesday se'nnight al-
ready noticed :—At Lancaster, the thunder, lightning,
and rain were tremendous ; a whirlwind carried a li-
nen sheet out of a yard on the preen Area ; and being
borne acros• the river, it fell in Skerton. At Bolton.
the thunder was in one continued roar, and the light-
ning extremely vivid. Rain and hail so heavy bad
not been witnessed there, by the oldest petsons. At
Belmont, near that place, a boy was struck dead by
the lightning, and his father, who was at a little dia.
tance, twice knocked dawn. At Blackburn the vicis-
situde from inviting weather to an awful storm was
peculiarly striking. The hailstones were very large,
and the streets and mimeo( the bosses were inundated
by the torrents of rain : the workshops of the weavers
(principally in cellars) were completely filled, and the
looms, &c. buried in water. Mr. Taylor's gardens sad
nurseries, at Little Harewood, were completely inun-
dated ; and the wall trees damaged, by the hail. 'the
glasses also, in the gardens of J. Fielding. Esq., of
Witton House, and indeed of all tie gentlemen in the
neighbourhood, met with similar demolition. At Mr.
Fielding's, 7uo panes were broken. Considerable da-
mage has been done at Mr. Simpson's works, Entail' 1,
Bank ; likewise at Messrs. Turner's work!, at Mill-
it
hill, which were stopped by the flood. At the latter
place. the damage is supposed to amount to about 1001.
At Wigan the storm was equally severe, though no
fatal accident occurred. In Mr. Harlmast's factory..
185 panes of glass were broken, and in Messrs. James
Acton and Co.'s factory, 181. At ten o'clock the river
Douglas was swollen to a height not known for the
last twenty yeare. At Westwood House, the seat of
Charles Walmsley,Beq , the storm raged with over-
whelming tory ; 800 ware yards of glass were bro-
ken in the gardens, besides considerable damage done.
The glass :dune colt 3501. at the lowest ralculation.
At Ashton-in•the-Willows, nearly one half oflh
windows in the Tillage were broken by the bail-seed's.

hearing man, came from one side of the road, and as
the gig lir a s going at a very slow pace, without speaking
