• ATTACK ON lIK. RING'S NOVI&
Panek Cbgii7arr was placed at the bir,,_cliarged in se-
!rat indictments. under the Filenboroagit and .White-
-Loy Acts 7 with bring concerned in. the attack on Me.
Ring's house. at Ballynsagooly, nett. Maltese, on the
evening of the 17th of March. The moonless of this
transaction, the extraordinary eircumetuneet diog
i 4 with which the public are in some degree acquainted,
inclisding the leollent resistance made by Mr. Ring and
his also, and the heroic support they received from MISS
Ring, all combined to give this trial in intense interest,
which Wal preservedlo the very highest pitch Hiccoughs
outthe entire investigation.
• Edward Ring. sen. was first examined, and his depo-
sition was to ttsofollowing effect :—On the evening of the
.l;th of March, he was sitting in the parlour of his house,
io the village of Ballyrnagooly, with Mrs. Ring end his
son ; they were-thereafter dinner, and prepariegto make
owe punch, when they were alarmed by a stream from a
little girl, a sernnt; (Snowed immediately by' a call from
Miss Ring, who had been in the kitchen, is these
wdrds:—" Father, father, here they are." Mr- Ring
and his son had started up from their seats at the first
alarm, and having seised two bayonets which were lying
on the table, rushed into the hall, which was already
filled with an armed.prty, and commenced a desperate
and determined attack upon them with bayonets. Mr.
Ring at the onset, baring literally bored one of them
dew o,Uthich was returned by shots, fired so close, and in
the midst of such a crowd as to leave it a matter of won-
der that no person was killed. One of the shots was
tired from a blunderbuss, the other from a pistol, and a
slug from the former wounded the elder Mr. Ring in the
forehead. In this furious scuffle Mr. Ring was either
knocked down, or tripped up by a stone,and while thus cir-
cumstanced his son protected: by standing over him, and
_ .w^as fired at at the moment by ooe of the fellows, whom
he iminedirely stabbed. Miss Ring, who continued all
Phis time in the terrific scene, bad, with great presence
of mind, gone to the street door, against which she
placed herself in such a manner, that, though she could
not close it entirely f:om the force that was opposed to
her outsgan tide, yet she prevented any admittance. Fresh
men behen to pour in at the back door, who
dragged out their two comrades that had been wounded.
I'o this place Mr. Ring now turned his attention, and
having succeeded in driving them out there, and fasten-
ing the door, le seturne.d to the front door, where Miss
Bing maintained her position, leaving little room for
admission. One of the fellows outside had poked in a
gun, with the intentir n of firing at. Mr. Ringouoior, who
was with his sister • this lie seized, puttipg the muzzle
et one aide, and endeavoured to draw him towards him,
Odd' when he had done sufficiently close for his purpose,
Le plunged the bayonet loco him, and he let go his hold.
The whole party being now beat out, Mr. Ring sect his
daughter up stairs for fire arms. The assailants in the
mean time collected outside at the distance of about ten
yards, from the house, soil several of the inhabitants of
he village looking on. Young Mr. Ring aving joined
. • his father, with arms, they fired two shots, upon which
the party began to wrest, thdugh not to disperse, sod
appeared as if they were dragging something with them.
- • At a short distance further out of them dropped, and the
party then began to disperse. They were pursued some
way, and young. Mr. Ring was disposed to follow them
• on ; bat, on reflection, it was deemed more prudent to go
1116 k to the house, end on their return they found the body
of one man, *hose name WJS Bush. On reaching the
• house, a messenger was dispatched to Mallow fur the
military, and on their arrival a search commenced
through the village, in the course of which the prisoner
wet taken in his own house.
• This, substantially, was the account given by Mr.
Ring of tl is desperate transaction. Being crosa-examin-
• •ed by Mr. Fnem in, Counsel for the prisoner, lie said be
thought there could not have been less than forty men
engaged in the attack. The affray in the house occupied
from ten to fifteen minutes, but from the commencemett
to the time they gave up the pursuit, might have been
about anhour. Ile was not alarmed ; as never more
cool in his life; the scene was one which might have
alarmed others, but did not alarm him, nor was his son
cor his daughter alarmed ; his wife was a little ; he could
not recognise the features of any one of those who came
into the house, but be knew four of those outside, and
three of them are in custody. The present prisoner was
in the bridenell of Mallolfour ten days, oithout any
committal. When his daughter saw the prisoner firsts
ehe said she thought it *as him, but would not be in-
slued to talcs i book in 'her band to swear; but after-
• wards obi swore positively in her informations before
Hodder. The prisoner was hailed by the Mallow I
Magistrates. but he is not surprised at that, as some of
thins were in the habit of doing such things.
Mr. Freeman—You have no right to sly that, Sir; you
are there to answer questions, nut to cast Imputation,.
Miss Ring was next examined. Her account of the
• • transaction inside the house, correspond in every initi-
aler with that given by her father, and a detail of that
part of her evidence would be only repetition. She ,
stated, however, that while endeavouring to shut the
'doorothe received two slight bayonet wounds. The part
of ber evidence which became important, and on which,
in.fact, the fat
,of the prisoner depended, related to his
jdentification by her. She 'stated distinctly and posi-
tively,_ that she was enabled, by the light from the
kitchen, which shone in on the hall, to see the persons
who came in. and that the prisoner Coglilan owl one of
them. She bad known him before, as 'he lived sithin
NO yards of the house. She could not say whether
Cohlan knew the time that she recognised bins ; but
sit ge
observed hint stoop and go towards then t
at the
back door. Site had isms then, now, nor at any time
since. any doubt of his identity, but she Was reluctant -to
lodge intormations, as she did not wish to bring it 40 a
prosecution.
• This 'witness underwent. • lost cross-examinstion by Mrs
Freeman, but one of the most intireatlng to which we ever
listened. It was conducted by the Counsel with singular
ability, and so observed upon by the [.earned Judge in his.
•charge to the Aury ; the young lady also evinced a consider-
able share of intelligence. It wouidese quite impossible to
give to any Newspaper a minute report of this examination.
which in some degree became metuphysical. in inquiring in-
to the causes and effects of fear, and the i• Silence of certain
tnotlres on the human mind. The witness stated that the
t•cene in the house was nut it all alarming to her, notwith-
mandieg the shots and stabs ; she had no terror of death,
She Saii, for she did not deserve it, at the some time she.

ed their safety, but not at ail for herown. She eicknow-
ledg'ed that it is ditAcult to identify one person in a crowd,
• bat its this case she coold not be mistaken, as she hell known
the prisoner before. She was asked if she ever knew or
beard of a person vilio had prosecuted another to conviction,
and who afterwards discovered that ha was in error She
said She diet not, bet admitted, iu answer to another ques-
tion, that she thought it possible that a person who was con-

nutter may have formed no part of the original trensac-

tion to her identification of the prisoner. bemuse she

trodactory to an inquiry as to the answers which she gave

coasequenta of her telling him so, thas-ba was apprehend**
on that night. She had beard of a reward being offered for
the wenviodou of the *Seam; of a repressettilan being
made to Gotarment in War of.her Wally by the.Graid
Jury, and tof her brother being appotated Chief. Constable
of Pollee ; but none of these circumstantiate, she said, had
any eonnection with her evidence, widish melba so way
governed or affseted by them.
Mr. Edward Ring was next exasnieed.—His testimony
wu similar in its import.to his fitter's, and was given
impressively and iivielligently, without. any *tempt at
gasconade. He also maimed las.•sister's statement,
that it was in consequence of her having told Is won the
night of the attack that she recognised Coghlas, that he
apprehended hits.
This witness was also cross-examined by Mr. Free-
man, as to the features of lets atster's character—the
alarm which the scene wis calculated to excie la a fa-
male, and the opportunities ;he hail of observity on the*
eight, so as to enable her to identify a man afte.
Lpo
the first point he said, his sister was silent andreacrved,
but he thought a resolute character ; to the seem!, that
timidity, to a certain degree, was a eharaeteriste in all
females; but that some were less affected byit Hien
others; and to the third be said, be thought be may
have been able to distinguish a man, so as to beable to
identify him after.
Patna Fahy was the next witness. This man was ser-
vant to Mr. Ring, and his testimony, eonsidesingthat. be
,was produced by the Crown, was somewhat remarkable.
Heatated that on the evening of the attack on his waster's
boUse, he was absent at 'the time, having gore to tee
house of a person of the name of Muleany, whi h is in
the village, to return a coat he had burrowed, and white
there Cogklan came in, when the cuaversatioa turned.
aAout a man who had broken his arm souse time bdore.—
; While they were speaking, shots were bred, oo which
(lighten observed and the other people present aid the
isms, that it must, be the picquet guard returning o Nl:a-
-llow. On going to the doer, boss ever, the witnes heard
Mrs. Ring screeching at the hall-door, upon witch he
went home, where two strange hats were round tat bad
been left behind. Ile was questioned minutely as to
Coghlan's appearance when be went into Mulany's—
whether be was hurried, or; in any way agitated; but
the witness could not say whether he was or not- he did
not observe him. 'ibis witness was not cars-exa-
mined.
The case for the prosecution having closed
Mr. Jnstice Burton desired that Miss Ring Arad he
again produced. She was accordingly led up, then his
Lordship asked her whether, when she slid he saw
Coghlan in the hall, he had his hat on? She reps' that
he -bad ; and, in answer to another question, list the
opportunity she had of seeing him continued Ir about
a moment.
Mr. Newman stated that be was present who Miss
Ring was desired to look at some prisoners ausoug
whom was Coghlan ; she Said he Was very like he man,
but she.was not entirely certain, and would no like, to
swear on a man's life. These observations, Mr.:moan
said, were addressed by her to him " amicabl." She
appeared to be very much alarmed at the tilue,"lhich he
remarked on as strange, that a person who had 'talked
so much courage under circumstances that wee calcu-
lated to excite terror, should be agitated un sub an oc-.
casion.
Ilis Lordship then resumed his ehiargo to ae Jury,
which was distinguished even beyond any of Is former
addresses, far clearness, perspicuity, and every klieg that
was calculated to enable the Jury to come to*a oachrdon
that would satiny themselves and the public. le praised
the heroism which had been displayed by the rather and
the son, and the exalted character of use demister, spun
whose veracity, no matter what may be the verist of the
Jury, not the slightest imputation could rest, ad after a
luminous review of the whole circumstances othe case,
be left it with the Jery. It was within live creates of
eight when his Lordship concluded, and the Jtry hav-
ing retired, remained enclosed for nearly an bor, when
they came into Court, and requested his*Lordshi to read
over his notes of Mr. Newman's evidence, with •liielt he
complied, when they again retir7d, and after bin out
nearly another hour, returned to acquaint his Airtiship
that there was no chantse of their agreeing a to the
identity of the prisoner, in consequence of alis Ring's
declarations before the Magistrates. His Lodship as-
sented that the whole case turned on the identiy of the
prisoner, and he again brought under their cousleratien
the evidence of Miss Ring, and there was no othe, on that
point. Having stated in its different hearings as well
what supported as threw embarrassment upon it lie told
them if they had a reasonable doubt„ to give thearisoner
the benefit of it; and they may entertain sari doubt
without distrusting- the purity ut her evidence; lit, they
were also bound nut to be actuated by any mist-a:en feel,'
ings of humanity, if they did not entertain such dcebt, and
to tind the prisoner Guilty.
The Jury once snore withdrew, and after bins out
about a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict of Not
Guilty. The Court then adjourned, at tea u'cluk.

incapable of pleading to the Indic:Awe:it.
Mr. Clark, the Clerk of the Arraigns, read owe the In-

Fill•LE COUR•Oli.—LiAlilliTll-4TBRZT.--gaturday.
W. Two, who had been bionght up to this Office on
the 21st of March, for an attempt to murder Mrs. Char-
lotte Kooks,•hosise keeper to Mr. Home, of Poplar, was
this day brought tsp again, Mrs. Rooks being sufficiently
recovered to attend.
The prisoner being.plseed at the bar, the depositions
sworn by Mrs. Rookie's the-evening of the day the at-
tempt was made, when her life was considered in dan-
ger, were read over to her as follows :—•• 1 am a widow,
and housekeeper to Mr llorwe, Veitry Clerk of All
Saints, Poplar, and residing in High-street, Poplar. On
Friday the ilea March, a little after two o'clozk in the
afternoon, 1 heard a noise at the street door, and on open•
ing it 1 saw the prisoner, who asked me if Mr. Horne
was at home? 1 said no. lie then asked if Mr. Horne's
brother was at house, 1 replied he was not. He then
asked for pen and ink, upon which 1 went into the par-
lour and lie followed me, shutting the street door after
hina, 1 turned my back in order to go to a book-case to
get pen and ink, and immediately received two blows on
the back of my head, which stunned me.l turned round,
and tke prisoner gave use another blow, and tripping 1 p
my heels threw me down, and then beat me with some-
I dling 'unified in a handkerchief. I screamed as violently
at I could, and called for Phitler, a female who was then
io the house. I struggled with the prisoner, and gut
bold of bit neckcloth. lie thruSt his ' 'Mud into my
'month, and 1 bit his tinge's, and still kept hold of him
lie then dragged me out of the parlour into the passage,
and there threw me down again, and kept heating me.—
He then spoke, and said " let go." At that moment 1
beard a violent knorkinrat Ike street door—still boktiug
him by his neck cloth, I opened the street door, and said
to the persons assembled outside, " Come in, for I am
murdered." Several persons then rams in, and secured
the pristmei. 1 considered at the sans? time that the pri-
soner was in fact Mr, Montague's servant, whom .1 had
seen. . When 1 opened the door to him, I observed that
he bad something wrappedhanderchief, which he
put ander his arm, while he appeared to be searching for
the note from Mr. Montague.
The hatchet produced was a very small one, and the
old silk lean :kerchief in which it was was wrapped at the
time the wounds were indicted, was stained with blood.—
The two cords found 'on the prisoner had each a noose
on one end.
Mrs. Rooks, whose appearance at the Office excited a
lively interest in all present, was congratulated by the
Magistrates in the warmest terms, on her fortunate
escape, and highly complimented on the heroism she had
evinced. She is an extremely well-looking woman,
in the prime of life, and of very respectable appearance.
The prisoner appeared to be wholly overpowered with
the sense of his situation; he leaned his head on his
hand, with which he endeavoured to cover his face,
and never once looked up during the examination. On
hieing asked whether he would say any thing in his de-
fence, ha auswcred " nothing," in a voice scarcely arti-
culate.
BOW-STRlET.—Saturday,a woman, who said her name
MIS Smith, and that she eas the wife of one of the mes-
sengers to the Honourable Society of Lincoln's inn, ap-
plied to Mr. Minshull, the Sitting Magistrate, for his sa-
ble:mice to recover her daughter, a girl of 16, who she
said bad been seduced, and Was then living with a geutlu-
-111411 at No. 11, Craven Buildings, Drury-lane.
Mrs.Seriith!•aid she kept the porter's lodge at theLincoltes
Inn Chatnbers, in Portugal•street, and, among the occu-
piers of those Cl.a.ubers, was a gentleman named F--,
about 62 years of age, who formerly practised as an at-
torney, but was now living upon his fortune. A few
evenings ago Ale returned home from transacting some
business about 10 o'clock, and in about ad hour after-1
Leeward; her daughter went, as she supposed, up stairs to
bed, but she discuvered in a few minutes that she had left
the house. She subsequently ascertained that she was
living at No. 11, Craven Buildings, with Mr.F., who had
hired apartmonts there for her about a fortnight before.
She went there, and having with difficulty procured an.
interview with her daughter, she prevailed upon her to
return home, but the next day she absconded again, and
was then living in Craven Buildings. The applicallt
added, that her daughter bad been supplied with fini
dresses by Mr. F., and rode out with bins occasionally in
his carriage, and she had rto,re than once had the morti-
fication of niee•ing her in that disgraceful situation. It
*as the more distressing to her, because Mr. F. was a
married man and a grandfather. His family resided a
few miles frOm London.
Mr. Blixsuum. sent immediately to Craven Buildings,
to desire the attendance of •' landlady of the house, and
Mrs. Newman shortly made her appearance in that elm-
racier. She said Mr. F. hired apartments in her house
for a month, and afterwards introduced the applicant's
daughter, saying at first Iltatabe was his wife, but be ad;
miredt

quit her betide, for she thought him little better than a

Mr. Mtosnum. said he was afraid Mrs. Newman was is
very bad woman, and had lent her aid in the seduction of
this poor woman's daughter.
Mrs. Newman declared she bad not. On the contrary
she had done all in her power to. persuade her to retina

deavouredand would have succeeded had she (Mrs. N.) not disco-

Mrs. Smith said she believed this, for Mr. F. had two
other. young girls " in his service," as he called it, at
distant parts of the town.

WEEKLY REGISTER OP WEATIIER.—The week began
under gloomy auspices, and Monday looming and Lire-
noon were wet. Several limes that day there was au-
common darkness, which did net extend beyond the me-
tropolis, arid was evidently occasioned more by Books
than fog. Whenever this appearance takes place, we
consider it produced by a greater degree of cold pre-
vailing in the higher that: the lower strata.of the
Atmosphere, and expect, as we have often i n:imated, son*
sharper weather will be soon eNnerienved below. Ad:-
cording to our expectation, the change took place next
day • and on Wednesday, at ChAsea, we learn, there wss
a litlie snow. Ever since, the weather has continued'
keen and bright, and very seasonable for iirOng the l ind.
