MODERN JACK SHEPPARD.  (From the Cork Constitution of Tuesday.)  Donoghue, alias Green, convicted last assizes of robbing the North Roman Catholic Chap?l, in this city, of the communion plate, and who escaped with two other prisoners from the Smithfield convict depot some time since, was arrested on Friday at Kilworth. Donoghue, after his conviction, and when leaving the dock, declared with an oath, that he would take the life of the principal witness against him, a man living in the North-main-street, of the name of Mahony, hatter keo en by the nick name of " Buck Ned." Donoghue's account of his escape contains some curious incidents. He says that he offered to effect the escape of his two associates— M'Auliffe, who was convicted at the same assiz.?s for violation, and a man convicted at the Armagh Assizes, provided they pledged themselves to aid him in murdering Bu:k Ned. The conspiracy to murder having been entered into, Donoghue set to work to gain his and their liberty. This occupied over a fortnight, and with the assistance of .a rope, he lowered down his accomplices into an outer card, from which they escaped over a wall and got into the manger of a stable. As soon as he put himself out the(ugh the window, toe rope slipped, and he fell from the third story, and came on his head on the ground. The fall drew the attention of a man outside, who arrested Donoghue, us soon as he got over an outer wall, and put him into a house, and locked the door on him. The man immediately went to give intimation at the prison, but before his return Donoghue had escaped through the roof. He then join,;(l his accomplices in the manger, where they concealed themselves until a late hour that night. They then went down to the North-wall, where they remained in a house for three days, until Donoghue had recovered from the fall. i'hey then came on to Kilkenny, and went to the house of a priest, where they represented themselves as paupers from a workhouse, as th.y had the convict dresses on them, and Donoghue being a cabinet-maker by trade, remained in the house until he had made two dressing tables for the priest. The money he got for this work enabled them to continue their journey into Carlow, Here Donoghue knocked a man down at night, awl was arrested by the watchman and taken to the watch-house, Here he saw the placard posted up describing his person, and offering a reward of 501. for his apprehension, but even here his cleverness, though in the convict uniform, did not escape him, and fhoere toldhe sttch beaen latiseirgoitn fellows then set off to Kilworth, on their way. purchase dischargedCirk , an4l.
