In consequence of the attack upon Mr. Ring's house,
near Mallow (county Cork), on the 17th ult., which was
so bravely and successfully resisted by that gentleman,
his son, and daughter, a man of the name of Coghlan was
seized, and under the Whiteboy Act put on his trial at
the late Cork assizes (4th inst.) After an interesting se-
ries of testimony by the several members of Mr. Ring's
family, and a deter,nined alibi set up on behalf of the pri-
soner, Coelho was acquitted, from its being conceived
possible, that Miss Ring, who alone had sworn to his
identity, might have been mistaken. We shall endeavour
to give, on the first open day, a report of this interesting
trial—in order to show the state of the coo etry and the
habits of the people.

MURDERER OF 'IRS. RICHARDS.
•
We have• much satisfaction in annoenoing ear bit!:‘-':
that the inhuman wanderer of the aged and helpless MI..
Richards, at Clapham, has been discovered, and thnt.nt
the moment we are writing, he is undergoing a pri vete
examination befetre the Magistrates, at Unioo Hall.
An early hour this morning, 61annon, the officer cm ghat
establishment, whose exertions have been indefatigable;
night and day, in tracing out the horrible offender, ap-
prehended in the neighbonrhood of Camberwell Green. a
young man whom he had reason to suspect of being
guilty of the atrocious crime, and lodged him Zia the
strong room of St. George's watch-house, in the
rough, till between eleven and twelve o'clock this fore•
noon, when lie was removed to Union Hall. ; pri-
sonar's name, we understand, is William Schofield, .and,
we are shocked to Icarn,he is a relative (a grand nephew.
or great grand-nephew) of the murdered woman., . 4 du-
plicate of a watch was found upon his person, and that
duplicate, we are informed, corresponds with the de-
scription of the watch, which the unfortunate deceased
possessed, and, which she had so highly valued—The pri-
soner appears to be about 22 year of age, in height about
feet 8 inches, and, n aspect, memo( *canning than feroc:-
ons character. His employ mew, wears told, had been that
of a labourer, and Isis garb, when takes, was an on d res.;
drab livery emit. When bound, this forenoon, to the arm
of the active officer who had. apprehended him, be
trembled greatly, and, on his way to Union Hall, his
down-looking glances, tinder his iatseemed to express the.
gloomy Apprehensions and reflections.of his soul. -Mrs.
Richards was known to have received a large sum of me
say, a few days before her death ; bat that remained in
the house untouched ; and a silver milk-pot was left on
bar table.
OLD BAlLEY.—(','tuts lloaNiNs.)
Before the Lord Chill Justice ABBOTT, and Mr. Baron
HIH,LoCR.
Fotteaay.—Charke James Kerfoot, a young man of
genteel exterior, aged 24, was pl iced at the Liar, on an
indictment charging him with uttering and publisnin
as true a false and counterfeited order for the payment ..f
UM. $4., well knowing the stuns to be forged, and wi:11
intent to defraud Jallirs Mann.
The prosecutor, a Riding-Master at Brighton, stated that,
on the 2il of February last, he became acquainted with tho
prisoner, who was tu-n residing at the Striae Hotel, and
had frequently horzowed horses of him from his staules.
Prisoner sent for a horse on the 11th February, which wit-
ness expected would be returned a raw hours afterwards.
This not being done, lie went in the evening to the Hotel
to make enquiry for him, and was informed that he had net
returned. After waiting till twelve at night. and the prison-
er not having made his appearance, he saddl,d his horse,
and immediately set off for London, where he arrived about
in themoreing. Between 10 and II next day, he met the
prisoner in Holborn with the horse in question; he imme-
diately seised the bridle, and conveyed the prisoner to St.
Cilles's watch-house, and from thence to a public-house, op-
posite the office in Marlborough-street, in custody of Furze-
man, the officer. When there prisoner produced a bill upon
Jones, Lloyd, and Co. and said he would pay the prosecutor
the whole of his expenses if they would accept it. as he
should find no difficulty in getting it discounted. The hill
was accordingly taken to the banking-house by a patrols',
namedffiartlett, who shortly returned with it as forged. The
bill purported to be accepted by Peter Ainsworth, a partner
in the firra of B. and P. Ainsworth and Co. of Bolton. A
clerk of the firm of Jones, Lloyd, and Co. stated that
Messrs. Ainsworth & Co. were their correspondents, and
were in the habit of drawing bills on their house some-
times} for Richard Ainsworth. at other times for Petec
Ainsworth. They had also a branch firm at Manchester.
He believed that in the early part of January, Peter
Ainsworth was in France, from the circumstance of their
having honoured bills dared from Marseilles.—He never
saw Peter Ainsworth wilts., hut does not believe the sig-
nature on the bill produced, to be that of Peter Ains-
worth.
Furzeinan and Bartlett, Police Officers, were called,
but their evidence was not important.
The Loan CUM JCSTICR, after conferring a few
minutes with Mr. BARON Hvuuoca, addressed the Jury,
and observed that the indictment on this charge coald
not be sustained. The prisoner was charged with ut-
tering with intent to defraud James Mann, but theca
was no proof of the prisoner having so intended, for ha
says on producing the bill " if I can get it accepted by
Jones, Lloyd and Co. I shall have no difficulty in get-
ting it discounted, and will pay you your expenses.'
There was no count in the indictment charging him with
intent to defraud Messrs. Jones, Lloyd and Co. or Messrs.
Ainsworth, and, therefore, ie prisoner must be ac-
quitted. The Jury, by the direction of the Learne.l
'cadge immediately returned a verdict of Not Ouilty.
