the note remitted by Baron Strogosoff to the Bois-
Effendi. previous to his departure for Odessa, was drawn
up. The Russian Oorernment knowing bow easy it
would be for the Divan to evade Conventions grounded
only on reasons supported by the common rights of
nations, made a religious principle the foundation of
the conditions proposed to the Ottoman Cabinet. Thus

prisoner came in and got a glass of whiskey ; he drauk
D—n the King and all his well wishers."
Cress-examined by Mr. Bennsyr—Admitted that
prkiner was in liquor, but not dead drunk, as he could
1%40, and walk and talk, and could lie on she ground
witiloat holding I did not know at thelinte that be is
' a crazy unfortunate pedlar, who had ken • soldier.
aid wounded is the wars, and who is always deranged
when he drinks spirits. Do you believe that George
the Fourth is the best King Ireland ever bad, sad
that every man in Ireland loves him ? The man
drank the toast..aild I know my business. Ohl you
know your domineer, but upon the oath you have
rakes befole your country, do yon not believe that
there does not exist in all Ireland, frost the highest to
the bwest, slue the King's kind visit and the days of
. real Fella, one Inas who was not desperately
►ltuak or mad that would drink such a toast? He did
say the words. Do you not know is 'your heart, that
Ain Majesty would be little obliged to you. for pick-
ing up the words of a poor crazy man, by way of prov-
ing your loyalty ?—I did my duty. Answer my ques-
tions, as you seem to understand then) ?—You may
think that is the ease, and so may I, and others like
pit awn' one. bat extrept such men are pasiebed, there
trill he another rebellion. Yon swore in your examina-
tions, that be d—d the King and Coostleatiom. Now
it is the King and his well-wishers —46 w is this va-
riance—pray what is the Cometitstioo in your notion
of it?--1 know thiConstitation as welt as you, Mr.
Sennett. • Then you will have no difficulty in telling
me what it is; tell use, Mr. Constable Coasti-
tution--the Coestitatios--why, the Constitution is
the Protestant Religion as it stemle.—(Load laughter
through the whole Court)—Were you ever • sent to
gaol for shooting at any one, for the love of the Con-
stitution uit stands ?—1 was sent there, because an-
other man. who was with me, Arad at a man, and shot
a dog.—(Mush laughter.)—But you suffered for keep-
ing had company ; you seem to like bad company ?
•That has nothing to de with the prisoner. Will you
go and support the Protestant Religion as it stands?
Mr. lissuarei—My Lord, without troubling you
with any observation on the rsr4Uer, 1 trust your
.11.ordship is of opinion, from the evidence in this ease,
• that at such a time as this, such a prosecution is quite,
too ridiculous, supported by inch a witness, for me to
go into any serious defence;
His Lordship assented, and said the indictment was
'not sustained by evidence, and if it were, the defence
Suggested by the prisoner's Counsel accorded with the
feelings of every loyal man, that is of every Irishman
since the gracious visit of his Majesty, and he did not
believe any Irishman in his senses would drink such a
toast. The Jury instantly retooled a verdict—Not
Guilty.
