(Before the Cuter J norms and Mr. JUSTICE PARK.)
CHARGE OF MCHOEtt. •
Daniel Hurley was pat to the bar charged with
inflicted certain mortal wounds upuu the beaky of
Charles Harris, with an intent to kill and inutile!: hip,
on the 17th instant, at the parish of Shore:lit:h.
The first witness, Ann Ealing, was in company with
the deceased on Wednesday week at the Spread-Eagle
in Kingslanal.road ; she went iota the• tap-room and
placed herself by a table in the tap-rootn ; prisoner came,
froM the tire•side and struck her twice. Harris w•as
sitting on the opposite side of tht table ; on prisoner's
striking her the deceased struck him; prisoner then g eve
the deceased a very violent blow under his breast. and
followed it up with a whip he had in his hand ; the
deceased fell; there were several other persons preset:'.
—Witness, on seeing this, strnek the prisoner over the
head with a pint pot, prisoner then left the room lint
afterwards returned, he struck witness again, and made
another attack on the deera,ed who was rather in
liquor. She had known him for two or three years,
and be had always been in good health; was subsequently
taken to the Hospital, where he died on Sunday last.—
Cross-examined by the prisoner, to state what she had
said to Critter, the constable. Witness replied what she
had that day told the Cont.
Mr. Gardiner; the landlord of the house, saw the de-
ceased on the day of the affray ;he appeal-ea rather in-
'taloned ; ref :Arent there were some quarrelling, but
could, not state the particulars.
George Cornuek and W. Portion corroborated the
testimony of the first witness.
Mr. Pirkinson, a surgeon, saw the deceased last Saute-
day; he was at that time in a dangerous state ; medicines
were administered to him, hut he died on the Sunday.
On Monday he opened the body, and found a rib frai'tured.•
and a diseased appearance of the spleen ; on further
examination, he found i t difficult to say that tbedeath had•
been occasioned by the fractured di; ; a blow hail cer
tainly been given, *bat he declined saying that it bad
caused death.
The Cuter JUSTICE here interposed, •and stated it
would be too much to let the prisoner stand longer at the
bar, after the doubt that Lad been expressed, and ti.e
Jury under his direction--Acquitted the prisoner.
MANSLAUGHTER.
Edward Horner was then charged with killing: and•
slaying John Wilson. It will he recollected that Wil-
son lost his life in a pugilistic encounter with the pri-
soner. The learned Judges were, however, oc opinion,
that the charge as preferred by the Coroner was informal,
and therefore directed the aequittal of the prisoner.
Mr. Justice PARK reprobated the slovenly manner
in which the Coroner's Inquisition was sent into this
Court, anal desired that more attention should be given to
these matters in future.

about to set oat from this city for Patras, in order to
join the Greeks in the Nlorea.—(Dublin paper.)
EXTINCTION or PARTY FEUDS—By the Dublin
papers received this morning, we learn that at the Ennis-
killen Quarter Sessions,when several persons, supposed
to have been concerned in riots and assaults, were
called on their recognizances, and appeared in Court
to take their trial, the Counsel for the Traverser' pro-
posed to the Professional Gentlemen concerned on both
sides, in deference to his Majesty's letter, that ' each
party should plead guilty to their indictments, gni
enter into a recognizance to keep the peace. This pro-
posal was acceded to, and Orangemen and Catholics
interchanged mutual forgiveness, and were permitted
by the Court to return to their respective homes, folly
determined, in future, to " love their neighbour 'ts
themselves."
Lars Duitt..—lt is with sincere regret we have to
state, that a duel was fought on Saturday morning
last, near Belview, in this county, between Patrick
Donelan, Esq. of Balleyeighter, and Edward Canasta.
Esq. of Eyrecourt, when. on the first discharge of
pistols, both parties were slightly wounded. The for-
mer grazed across the eyebrow, and the latter slightly
wounded in the leg. No entreaties of the seconds
being of avail, and they not knowing that either
party was touched,
•another case of pistols was pre-
sented, which for the honour of humanity, we are
confident, had they known, would not have been given
W them. At this moment a simultaneous fire took
place ; and, melancholy to relate, both shots took ef-
fect—Mr. I)unelan being shot in the shoulder, and
Whines through the heart.—(Galway Advertizer.)
We are informed that an Inquest was held on tlo
body of Edward Callanan, Esq. who was shot in a
duel, last week, near Belview, in this county, and a
verdi:t of wilful murder returned by the Jury against
his adversary, l'atrick Donelan, Esq.—(Teram Gazette.)
