THURSDAY. JULY 17.

coma V. MACKINTOSH.
This case came bef,,re the Court this der. The ques
tion the Jury had to try was, Whether the words con'
tabled in certain letters writ ten by the defender, quoted
in the issues (which are of great length), were of sad
concerning the pursuer, and meant to represent him as
se unprincipled person, and unworthy of all trust; and
as a person, the appointment of whom to be a Justice of
Peace, was of a mischievous example, scandalous in
the eyes of society, and a measure which could not fail
to have toe worst effect on the minds and morals of the
lower ranks. _ _ _ _

Mr. bloNcaster opened the case for the pursuer, and
called several witnesses. Mr. MATHESON stated the
ease for the defender, but examined no witnesses. The
LORD Cuter COMMISSIONER summed op the evidence,
and the Jury returned a verdict lot the pursuer.—Da.
sages 200!.

0071N:in.—The following melancholy statements
appear on a Second Edition of the Cloamel Advertiser
of Saturday :
Before dusk, Friday evening, Mr. Richard Nowlan, a
Proctor, who this season leased the tithes from the He,.
Mr. Sutton, was shot through the body by some mis-
creants, while on his way from the neighbourhood of
Ballyporeen to his residence at Kilworth. There was
scarcely any doubt of the wound being mortal.
At Roscoe, near Ardfinan, a man, being observed in
a fruit garden by the Police, in the act of plundering it,
was fired at by them and killed on the spot.
At midnight,(Friday night,) about eight miles at this
side of Limerick, on the new line of road to Tipperary,
a house was buroed by ioceadiaries.

• Tits WORD AND HONOUR OP AN
most respectable Friend and Subscriber of ours, writes
us to day as follows:—" I pledge you the word and ho-
nour of an Orangeman, that the following faits occurred
yesterday evening. A party of five gentlemen dined with
me yesterday, and after dinner, a vase, containing some
orange Hikes, was placed, by my servants on the table
by my directions. We drank several toasts, and on the
Glorious and Immortal Memory being given, an on.
blown Lilly, which the party were remarking, -expanded
its leaves, and appeared before us in all its splendour.
Our astonishment never was so fir excited before, as at
this (I may caU it) phenomenon. Should you for one
moment doubt the assertions I now make, I will make an
affidavit of the fact, and have it further corroborated by
the Gentlemen who were present, and who are reed/ to
come forward to verify it. Vsam,""
