At a meeting of the Board of Governors

held on Thursday, 11th Februarv, the accounts for past year were submitted as at foot. It is very pleasant to find that the large debt that was un this admirable institution on beginning of year, £204 lls 5d, has b~en reduced to £62 13s 9d. This is owing mainly to the kind exertions of Lady Greville, Mrs Hamilton Rochfort-Boyd, and Miss E. T. Reynell, who got up Theatricals, Swimming Galas, and Concerts for the benefit of I nfirmary. We woulJ be glad to see more people taking an interest in this institution, and feel sure that a personal visit to the house would induce to this.

The school-room was filled in all parts by the children, their parents, and a number of lhe parishioners, and other visitors. After J present had been regaled with a plentiiul supply 0£ tea and cake, a magic lantern, from Messrs. Mason, Dublin, was exhibited, to the great enjoyment of the young folk, whose applause was most enthusiastic.

Mter which a grand display of fireworks took place in the play-ground, which seemed to afford much amusement to all, and made a bright ending to a very happy evening.

Ce.rtainly I will be with Thee ! Father, I have found it true; To Thy faithfulness and mercy I would set my sPal aaew. .All the year Thy r.race hath kept me-Thou my help indeed hast heen ; Marvellous the loving-kindness, every day and hour hath seen.

CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTURE. To quote from Mr Bowbide;~'s excellent little book on this flower, " the Chrysanthemum is, of all flowers, one of the most effective, · robust, hardy, easily increased, and it blooms r naturally at a season when other flowers are proverbially scarce, It is as well fitted for the cotta.ge garden, for a sunny corner beside the porch, as for the marble-floored consel'Vatory.

Every artisan ma.y grow it to perfection with but little trouble or expe'ltse. '' With all this to recommend it, is it any wonder that. it is so .much soug-h t after ? .And with a view to help readers who .are interested in this flower; we propose to publish some remarks on its cultivation in some of our. succeeding issues,,which must but necessarily touch the outline of thei subject, and we woul\]. refer, all who wish tom> deeper ;in.to it, to the,book from which we quote above, viz:-" The Chrysanthemum," by F.

Its third section thus runs-" Molinger to be the Shire Town of Westmeath. The prison to be within the precints of the county.

That the said common gaol or prison shall be within the precincts of the said House [late Friars of Molynger], and in such place ·thereof, where the Lord Deputy, the Lord Chanccllour, the three Chief Judges, and the Master of the Rolls, shall assign and appoint.'' In an Indenture made between the Lord Dl?puty on behalf of Queen Eliza.beth and Walter Hope, Constable of Mullingar, on December 6, 1570, it is provided that the Lord Deputy, or any other Chief Governor, should have all the rooms ir the Castle of Molyngar to lodge iu, as often as they sho1:1-ld. travel in those parts, and that the Comnnssioners and Justices should have two or three chambers during the Assizes. Her M~jesty will fin?the irons for the safe keeprng of the prisoners, and which Hope is instructed to keep safely for that purpose.'' This document would i;ihow that the Castle of Molyngar meant the county gaol, while from King Henry VIII Act of Parliament, we find that the said gaol was ordered to be erected on the premises of the former "House of God," or Priory of St. Mary, founded in 1227, by Bishop le Petyt. This Priory of St. Mary was richly endowed. I will only mention two singular portions of its privileges. One of these of the annual value of £6 13s 4d, was termed "The Door ef St. Peter's Church in Dunboyne," which was doubtless an Ecclesiastical Tax, while the other was a local privilege . It was found in the 33rd Elizabeth, 1590, " that the late Prior and his predecessors, had from ti~e. immem?rial i·eceived from every house withm the liberties of Mullingar, and out of every brewing, one measure of ale, commonly called " The Mary gallon." ~h~s was val~1ed yearly at the sum of six shillings and eight pence. ~ On July 23, 1583, Queen Elizabeth wrote to the Lords Justices from her manor of Greenwich, authorising two fairs to be held at the Town of Mullingar-one on the Feast of All Saints', being the first of November, and the other on the 24th of June, commonly called Midsummer Day, to continue for 3 days, at the solicitation of Walter Hope,

Constable of the castle and gaol, and of the inhabitants of the town. These state that they were disposed to bestow their' travayles and carriages to strengthen the town lying open to all att1?mpts.' The tolls then levied. were to be employed "in enclosing and fortifying the Town," and the Queen thus cop.eludes her letter : -" A.s their request doth import for our honour and for their own safety, we will take in very good part, and shall think this our favour to be bestowed upon persons of good deserte, and will be further mindful of them to their comforts, )~ as occasion may serve." The Portriove, ~ urates, and Constable for the time being .,/U/J are named as the officers who were to levy the tolls at these fairs and at the weekly markets, and who were to lodge them in a Treasury for the purpose of being employed for the Public Good of the Town.

Mr Glasgow Thompsou had issue two sons who both died without issue, and one daughter who married Mr Fa'.m t, of Hanstown, near Mullingar. I understand that the Adams burial place is under the n~rth transept of the })resent parish church. There are some tombstones near this place, none of which, however, marks Mr Thompson's grave. Mr Bowen who is mentioned in Bishop Ellis's ''Report" was representative of a family descended from the House of Upton in Pembrokeshire, South Wales. His father, Hugh.

Bowen, was also Lessee of the Rectorial Tithes of the pal'i.sh. He died aged 69, on May 22nd, 1724, and his monument still remains in the south transept of the Parish Church, Mr John Bowen continued as :J:,essee of the Recto rial Tithes until 1756.

Some account of the Bowen Family may be 1·ead in the late Mr J. C. L;rons' " Grand Juries of Westmeath."

On the death of Mr Thompson, Mr Arthur Champagne was appointed by the Crown as his successor in the Vicarage of this Parish.

His appointment is dated September 1st, 1746-7, Mr Champagne was descended from a noble French family, who, on account of their Huguenot tenets, had left its native land. He was the only son of Major Josias Champagne by Lady Jane Forbes, daughter of Arthµr 2nd Earl of Granard, and his Countess, Mary Rawdon. Born in 1714, he entered Trinity College, Dublin, when he obtained a Scholarship in 1734, and gratuated B ,A, Vernis 1736, and M.A. illstivis, 1739. In ] 74'1, he wa,s made a Prebendary of Kildare, and on his appointment to Mullingar, Mr Champagne obtained a faculty to hold with this parish the Rectory and Vicarage of Croaghan, the Rectory of Rilclonfort, and the Rectory and Vicarage tif Monasteroris, Dioceee of Kildare. On the peath of Dean Owen, he was appointed by J3ishop Carmicha.el as his successor in the Deanery of Clonmacnois, · and was collated to that dignity on March 13, 1761.

"Clericus paro1:hialis Jacobus J\loreheail enhibuit." .dr Adams had also been sequestrator of f'hurchtown Rectory from May 1, 1663. The Crown thus seems to have retainecl the advowson and from a similar case-with regard to Ballygarth Rectory, abo in Meath Diocese, a.s a matter of fact; exercise] the right until the dis-establishment of The Church of Ireland. :Mullingar Vicarage did not long remain vacaut. Mr Ralph Adams haC. a faculty from the 1 'ourt of Prerogative on July 10, 1664, which perw.itted him to hold it with his previous p:i.rish of Rathconrath. I bave not found the actual elate of his appointment to .Mulliugar, nor by whom the Presentation was made.

Ranclulph or Ralph Adams was a native of England, spnrng from a family seated at Tidd St. Marys, in the Ccunt.v of Lincoln.

Hc was euucatecl partly at Christ Church, Oxford, and partly at Trinity College, Dublin, "11erc in 1623 he graduated B.A., and was elected a Fellow in 1626, ancl proceeded M.A. l\lr Ad:tms entered H0ly Orders.

By what Bishop he was admitted a Deacon I do not find; lmt on Augui;t the first, 1631, he was ordained Priest by Bishop A.nthonv Mintin, of Mea1 h. Mr Adams was inst1t;utecl to lbthcomath Rectory, of the value of £60 1wr annum, Lord .,..iseount Roscommon being the Patron, an<l. was inductetl on Se2tember 4, 16::l0, by ReL James Byra.m, B.A., Viear of Ra.thconnell.

Rouert Lackey, 1\1.A., R. of Lough bracken, an<l Curate of Lackyn,Leney, Kilbi~key, Kilmamevan, and Templeoran, 011 October 25, 1630. l\Ir Adams held lands in the ~'arony of Rathconrath, and obtained a grant of sezernl forfeited estates, namely, Lcdwitcbtown, Keolstown, and ]'a.nainga:11an, in the parish of Mulliugar, containing 448 acres, and held under a Crown Rent of .£9 2s 3d. His descendants lived at Rath<·onnell Court, near Mullingar, and con-

tiuu in possession of that estate until it wa.s sold to Lord Greville, who caused th(} house to be unroofed and partly pulled down. A tower still intact, stands near it. and the ruin of the old Parish Church of St . .Tohn Haptist with iis burial g~ound are also adjacent. A plot of glebe land containing about four acres, was also contiguous, and was possessed until the dis-fi'stablishment bv the Vicar of RathconnelL Thetownlands "of Clongowney and Baltrasna, in the p[trish of M ullingar, still remain in the hands of l\lr Ralph Adams' dE~cendants. :illr Atlams continued as Vicar of All Saints' Mullingar, until his death in 1675. His memoria,l tablet still remains p~accd high tlJ> on the nMth wall of the west transept of the parish Church, and bears the following inscription:-" Hie sitre sunt exu\'ire Reverendi Viri Randolphi Adams, Illustri familia de Ted St. Mary's in agro Lincoln, Oriuudi Oxon aliquando lEilis Xti Alumni olim, autem Coll i:3acrre et Individure Trins_ juxta Dublin A.fi'L et S.non itapridem apud Leclwitchtown pie et ubique viventis, qui vita migravit A.D. 1675.

This monument was repaired by order of Francis Adams, Esq., of Rathconncll, A.D 1819.

[I have ta.ken this inscription from" The Grand Juries of Westmeath", where some notice of the Adams family may be found], Ou Deeembcr 21, 1675, according to the "Liber Munerum Hibemire'', Doctor James Hierosme or Jerome, was presented by the Crown to the Vicarage of Mullingar. He was a Frenchman, and before the year 1660. was French Minister at the Savoy Chapel in London. On March 1st, 1666, he was presented by the Crown to the Precentorship of the Oathedra.1 of Waterford, and o July 5 of the same year to the Treasurership of the Cathedral of Lismore. He seems then to have removed to Ireland, where on March 9, 1667, was enrolled the Lord Chancellor's certificate on his behalf as a denizen.

The chairman gave a short introductory address, in whicll he eloquently expressed the great pleasure it gave him to preside at a meeting of the Protestant Orphan Society in the parish where he lived for so many years. He sai1l " I regret to find that the finances of this Society are not in as ftourishing a condition as they ought to be.

llfULLING·AR :

Printed by John Dickson.

1831.

The .Address of BARON Sm WILLIAM Sl\IITH on the acquittal of those of the (:onsta-bulm71, who wc1·e t1·ied at tlte last .llssizes for a hom."cide, com1nitted at Castlepollard, delivered with that eloquence and feeling for which hia L i.rdship is so J usil!J distinguished, contained so much excellent rm1d t c1·, so p rofitable to all, parties, that I conceived a wide ci'rculation of it, p articulm·Ty in this CounfJJ, might le attended with considerabl. benefit, and might possibl.'f tend to assuage, if not entire(l/ alla.lJ, any exis:ing angry feelings, which though local C/1i1t110I fail to l:e defrimental to the public peace. To the Ministers ef Justice, the Constabulary, ii contained most Judicious and useful advice. To the Public generally, a vate·m al exhortation is given, not only to submit to but to respect~ look up to those lau:s, which from time to time have lJeen enacted fm· the presei·z:alion ~f thrir lives . and JJropei·ty, and to avoid the cttlpable, nay criminal idea, of REDRESSI.'.\'G THEl\1SELVES for any 1·eal or s "pposed inju1·y. With my mind thus imp1·cssed, I 1l'aited on his Lordship, and regi·etted that he h-ad not notes of his .;Jdd·ress, but I took the libe1·ty of 1·equesting- he wouldfurwartl me that public paper, in which hi1 slw'iild find his remm·ks most faithjiilly replrted, sta t·ing, that with his pc1·missior" I should wish to 1

publish it. To this 1·equest his LordsMp mosi kindly assented, and added that 1c•hen he had the JVeit,sp_ap~r bef01·e him he would be enabled to amend <!n.11 ine01·1·ectne.~s and supply any deficiencies, which might ltave occur1·ed, thus 1·endei·· ing it as complete as his 1·ecollection woitkl enable him to do. I am therefm·c enabled tlwouglt Ids Lords/tip's assistanc<>, to la.'! !JCfm·e the Public what may· be called an AUTHENTIC . REPonT of !tis most excellent .!ldd1·ess, fm· icltich I beg Ida Lo1·dship to accept my most g?·ateful thanks, and I beliet•e I may add, the thanks of cve1·y well dis. posed pe'rson in the cmnrnunity.

I impl01·e those pe1·sons into n·lwsc. hands the following pages may fall, f~nd I !1'ttst t!tey may haue an cxtensh•e cfrculation, to 1·ead tltem attentiuel!J, and ponde1· oi1e1· tlie fnstn'ess ~f the remarks they contain, sincerely hoping tiuit hia Lrn·dship's hitmane intentions, in thus address. fog the ConstabitlaJ"y and the Public on that au'fitl occasion, will have such an tjfect as can• not fail to be most gratifying tu him, as a sin,.> cere friend and well wisher to the counf'ry• .IOHN LYONS.

REPORT ..

Baron SMITH then ordered the prisoners to stand forward. He proceeded to address them as follows : " Now that these proceedings have been brought to a termination I foel it not inexpedient to make a few observations, previously to your being discharged. When the account of that fatal occurrence which has been the subject of our enquiry, reached the Government, a law officer of the Crown was de' spatched to investigate the circumstances o.f the transaction. The result was its appearing to call for the most serious discussion, and that it was the duty of the crown to give its itest assistance towarrls the attainment. of justice, and it was a<'corclingly deemed neces.. sary to send one of the law officers to conduct the prosecution. The jury also, a hig;hly re.:. spectable one, manifestly considered with great attention, a case 'vbich certainly required rlelihera.te consideration, inasmuch as it ¡was one in which no incon~iderahle rlegree of cloubt prevailed. The jury lrnve accorrlingly remaineil, for, I heHeve nearly eleven hours in deliberation. In tr11th, the case was a most momentous one. The effusion of blood has been very great ; anrl amongst those who fell, many innocent persons \Yere unfortu.. nately inclnded~nay, it is impossible for me from any thing that appeared in evidence, to pronounce that all the suffer~rs may not have

E

6

\

been quite innocent. The jury, in acquitting you, have found, that the somewhat indiscriminate effusion of blood which has taken place, was but the deplorabJe consequence of the situation in which you were plaled, and of t11e pressing路 necessity which that situation produced-in short, that the sanguinary act, though to be deplored, was not uncalled for.

All human tribunals are necessarily fallible and imperfect ; but to a more unerring路, perhaps the least erring of earthly judgmentst o that of conscience-I refer you, to pronounce whether or not you have unnecessarily embrued y our }1ands in the blood of your fellow-subjects ; and I sincerely . hope and wish, that your conscience, concurring with the verdict of the jury, may acquit you.

When the grand jury ig nored the bills of inclictment for murder, (for observe, such and so serious were the circumstances of the case that the crown iawyers felt it their duty to prefer indict ments of that heinous character ag ainst you) when the g randjury, I say, ignor ed t h e bills for mur der, I felt it due to their h igh respectability of charact er, to entertain ;md state a full persuasion, that in cloin~ so, they acted in strict accordance with their _dut y. But in tl1e absence of the evidence which ha<l come before thcn1 , it wa s impossible for me t~en to give a more decided opinion on t~he, subj ect. Now, h nwevcr, tlmt the wh ole of the case has bceri disclosed, I feel no 路 lwsitathm in giving my entire assent to the opin ion of the grand jury, that this " 路as not a case of rnunler, and t hat the only question mu st lrn

\

7 . . that which has been submitted to the petit jury, namely, whether the act you did was justifiable or excusable, or amounted to that offence which· the law calls manslaughter.Upon that enquiry the jury were impannelled, and certainly they had some conflicting testimony to deal with before they returned ·a verdict of acquittal. You, Mr. Blake, have received a most excellent character, from various persons, all highly respectable, and most if not all of whom were placed in situations which made them competent to form a correct judgment of it. They have come forward to give testimony 'to your humanity and mildness ; this circumstance cannot fail to make me feel pleasure at the result of this trial, and to give me hopes that a person who · obtained, and I must suppose, deserved su:ch testimonials, will profit by the awful lesson which this trial has been calculated to give him: and that so long as you fill the situation . which you at present hold you ·will endeavour to justify the character which has been given you ; and if there be any thing like a cloud yet resting on it in consequence of the share you had in this unfortunate transaction, you will remove that cloud and le.a ve nothing like a slur attaching to it ; you will recollect what are some of the important consequences of filling the office of chief constable-that in being guilty of rashness himself he may involve and implicate many others who are under his command, · and who will not only be likely to follow the example of his rashness, hut wiU be .placed in the embarrassing situa-

v

I/

s tion of not knowing how to act; wliether to obey the commanrls of their officers or to take upon themselves the exercise of theJr private judgment, and to pronounce the command illegal, and consequently not to be obeyed.That the command of the officer will notjnsti· fy the inferior in the violation of the law, is, as I conceive, a matter quite unquestionable.

I consider this as not only long since decided, by the first principles of law-hut thatamore · tangible decision in point of fact, has been had. I refer to a case wh re a person being in custody of the military, on a charge of mis· demeanour, and attempting to escape, was fired on by a private, by command of his officer, and shot. The verson who fired the shot was brought to trial, and was is1dicted for, and convicted of, murder. \\'hat pretensions he may have had to mercy, from the peculiar situation in which he stood, and how fa1• such pretensions were found available in his case, is a matter more 01· less beside the present question. Persons who owe obedience to their officers, ought to know tlrnt they owe a higher obedience to the law, and to the paramount au thority of this latter they must bow. I am sure that every man of proper feeling, who holds the situation of chief constable, will see the necessity of avoiding the 1·ash commission.,.o f any acts, which may involve in crime and penal consequences not only himself, but those under his command. °""llat I am now about to state, with rt'.spect to the peculiar situation of this co1Jntry, is so n9to.rious,. that iq making that statetuenf:: l

/

\ feel 1 a'tn conununicating nothing that is nut already known-namely-that one of the greatest misfortunes of this country, the ah.undant source of so many ills is, that the lower orders distrust the law-that instead of looking up to it_as their great protector, as that which can alone raise them to a sort of level with their superiors, they seem to view it with a jealousy amountingto aversion, and are too apt to consider it as theh路 enemy, not their friend. Yet, having路 filled the situation which I have still the honour to hold, for a great number of years, following again upon some years of professional experience llS to the manner in which the Jaw is administered in this country, I am enabled to form ~ pretty accurate opinion how far that distl'ust is well founded, or the contrru路y; and I llave no hesitation in declaring, that I consid.or it to be a very ill-founded distrust. But s.till, it is one of the great evils or.maladies of路 our country. Now it strikes me to be the duty of every 'nflunntial person in the countt'y to do their utmost t<nvards curing this disease ; towards removing this sinister impression from th publie mind. \Vith this salutary view, it behoves those in authority, hy the course and tenor of their conduct, t6 prove that this dlst.rustful opinion is ill-founded ; to clisabusc our lower orders and to shew them-kinflly shew them-that the law is their genuine and best protector. This distrust, I say, I consider to be quite illfoundcd. But while I do so, I feel that it i11 I\Ot' the. less pernicious for being a mistake :

10 or at least only the less mischievous, because every mistake is open to correction. We should teach the people to sheltei!'themselves under the wings of the law; to c-0nsider it as their cordial patron and protecting friend : to demonstrate to them the folly of their almost suicidal conduct, in attacking that, which if they knew their own true_ interests, they would support, and zealously defend. I do not know whether or not I am unnecessarily \ consuming time by the observations I am making: but I can declare with a safe conscience, that in doing so I am actuated by the best intentions ; by an hone.s t and sincere desire to serve my country, as well as, without transgressing my narrow province, is within my power. I am nQt ostentatious in my disposition, if I know myself. â&#x20AC;˘ There is rather a something in my character, which leads me to shrink from every thing that is called 'shew off;' and I am accordingly adrlressing yon without any premeditation.Every thing I say issues almost spontaneously from my heart and conscience, rather than from my head.

I

(

I think a great deal may be in ;tlie power of the constabulary, towards reconciling the people to the law. I believe that the police liave some how or other incurred odium amongst the people; and th"s I should not say if I were~ot able to a.dd, that as a body, this odium they clo not appear to me to have deserved. It is impossible but, tba.t in a bodv . so numerous as thev. ar~, some

'¡

11

individuals or parties will be found to have transgressed. But this ought not to stamp odium upon the body in general. I suspect it is the more necessary that the constituted 路 authorities should conduct themselves with mo路r e than ordinary strictness, pi:opriety and caution, because I am afraid, that not only路 are tlie people liahl~ to he misled, but that there are not a few who are willing, nay eager to mislead them ; to withdraw their trust in, ~ml allegiance to the law ; and undermine their confidence in those by who~n it is administered; Therefore while it is our bounden duty, a duty which I trust we -shall always be ready to perform, fearlessly, under all circumstances to support the law, and firmly to resist all attempts at its subversion, let us at the same time do every thing within our power to disabuse the lower orders of the false impressions which they have received, and write the law in the l1earts of the people of our deluded country.

This case, which has excited no common sensation in the public mind, has had an ample discussion. The people have had all the assistance that the crown could give them; they had the protection of the g1路and jury-who, while they ignored the bills fot~ murder, accompanied that act with a most praise worthy intimation, that they were quite ready to entertain hills of indictment for manslaughter. Thus, in the grand jury, a most material and popular portion of the law department, the people may

J

disc('rn ~protector, if they will see what ~!! before their eyes. Ag·ain, the case has be~n submitted to a petit jury, notcomposed of th~ lower orders. The length of their laboriollii h1vestigation shows, that they were ready tq ~tand between the people and any invasion qf t:heir rights. , The trial has been conducted before 6.

Judge, inferior to some if not to maq.y othe~~ m. judicial attainments, out who yields tq none in kindly feelings towards the humhl~r· classes of his countrymen, or jn cordial wish.,. e~ to promote their happiness, and to guard tHem from oppression. I have served th~ public to little purpose for many years if my countrymen do not repose confidence in m~ \ and having said thus mucp., I wiU add, tha,t_ though I think the verdict to be what is comrqonly called a merciful one (for I will no~ shrink from giving utterance to my senti-, ments) I think it a verdict the propriety of which is not liable to just censure. The Jury· doubted and deliberated. If I had been one oJ the jury, I shoulclhave clone the same : but f think in their finding I should finally hav;e concurred.

The laws have entrusted arms of a deadly nature to the hands of the police, and the state of the country required them to do so.

Their being armed in such a way is calculated. to put down all disturbance, and prescrvathe peace, by giving them the pow~ of ov~t­ whebnin~ all undue resistance to the law.-

13

. h, h(m,- ever, the police should rashly abuse the power thus committed to them ; if they sh1Jul<l make an incautious use f the arms which are plac>e<l in their hands, they y;ould but aggravate the evil which this placing of arms at their disposal was intended to remove.

I therefore shall. be happy if the observations I am now making, and the circulation which they may obtain, shall have the effect of preventing our playing· the game of the misleaders of our people, and foes to our peace and constitntiori, by g iving- any plausible pretext for thei r invidious clamours and misrepresentations. I would not, however, have it understood, that I wished the police to act any other than a firm part. In the exercise of their duty, it is essential that tliey should be firm; but it is also most desireahle, that they should combine and temper that firmness with equal and even conciliatory caution ; and deserve at least to be reinstated in the favourable opinion of the people.

I have hitherto addressed to you thoughts arising on the moment; b 1t in doing so have only given utterance to sentiments which I have long and habitually entertained-so long that I have but to open my mouth, and tliey naturally flow out. The1·e is however, one topic, which I purposely omitted in my address to the gr and j ul'y, conceiving it might then be premat ure; but whic•h strikes me as not being now inopportune. In the mean time I ·w ill be open.-I see no mischief that can ensue from this acquittal, if it do not produce or leave any

,V

14 angry soreness in the exasperated feelings ·Of those lower orders, whose opinion is, by something bordering on an abus<! of terms, very frequently denominated the public mind.

1'he late occurrence, the copious effusion of human blood which it produced, was calculated to excite a sensation which ought to he allowed for. But again, in this ill-fated cou.ntry, one can scarcely find a ques tion with which a party feeling 'does not mix ;' and I fe ar it has been ming·ling ~ith the present question. I am fat· in deed from meaning, that in any such feeling the recent trial had its orit')in and source. The transaction imperatiYely called for strict and open inves tigation ; and if this had not been fairly and fully had, those whose object is to agitate and disturb the public, would, I fear, have been supplied with more than a pretext for ren rlerin£"thepopufacediscontenterl-with tJ1e administration of the law. I, for my part, shoul<l have much regrctte rl, if we had furnished the enemies of order with a topic, of which su.ch mischievous use might have been made. But tho' the trialo.riginatedin an eminentlyproper source, I am not free from apprehension, that party spirit may ha,'e infused itself into the question; and heartily 1vish it may rid itself of this. Where opposite pa:t·ty feelbg comas 1nto conflicting co tact, each· patty is to() a~)j; pertinaeio'1sly to pnrsne its oh,'.ec'·, as il a failure to n.Un.in it touche:l il:s t it:rnity n.11 I hone . rr:rnse wbo nro.. ee:L{C •dth ziul ~t".J g~_·o;:i~;·:y ccnsl.WC•l h~r 1~1 rn o~h~ r~ v~w ,lS z·.!n..1 T!-,,,,.,.,·n·u··ei"1 .. ·'-o·te(!.1_,.

sides. But ag e and experience have taught ine to see thing s in a very different light, or rather, it h ath pleased God to make these his instruments, for bringing my mind to a better anrl more charitable judg ment. Zealous prosecutors I can well conceive to be as honest as they are keen. 'l1o the zeal of those on the other hand, who patronise a defence, I can attribute as u p righ t motives. Each perhaps is zealou s, from the view which he takes, r eally a nd b ona fi de of t he ca se. And when the issue and de termin ation come, instead of being furi ous and gnashing their teeth on one another, the successful party ought not to inclu!g·e a n insulting triumph ; the unsuccessful ot <~h t t o admit his opinion to ha,-e been w rong , wh en a trib unal of his country h as p ronounced it to have been so : while, at the same time, he m ay haYe no reason to reproach l1ims, f, fo r having pursued the course which his conscience r eC'ommeuded ; · nor to be ashan:c<l of being· falli ble, as tl1e best judgh~g of ns must he. If you ha d been fo und guilty 9 your offence would appear to have been nv more t han this-th e having fired rnshly and prematurely, and perhaps under t he influence of some angry excitat ion, b efor e t he mome,1t of as fficiently cogent necessity had al'i~e,1 . But you h ve been acquitt ed a:togethcr: n ul let those who prosecuted r elent, ant! <11sn1iss all soreness a nd ir. ri t ation.

I end as I began. Let chief con· stubJes act with the greater circumspection, because their rashness might compromise at once the safoty and the character of their men. Let all the coustabu!ary recoHect, tlmt the incorrect cond1 ct of every individual has a tendency to 1·eflect discredit on, and stigmatize the entire c>orps of which he is one.

Tl1e police, by attending to these rules, and blending <liscr tion with their firmness, (for firmt1·ey ought to }le) may <lo mueh honor to themselves, and render the most important servic>es to their country. The better opinion their n ild conduct procures them with 'the people, the more effi<;ient must their bo<ly he-the more must t ey concilia"e our lower orc!ersto the law. Most happy should I be, if the advice which I have been giving should contribute anything to the production of so sa utary an effect. J have given that advice honestly, an<l without any 1wemeditn ti on.

DE.A.TH OF THE VERY REVEREND THE DEAN OF CLONMACNOIS. After a very brief illness which culminated on this morning at 4 o'clock, a.m., the Very Rev. Francis Swift, D.D., Vicar of Mullingar Parish, and Dean of Clonmacnois, passed peacefully to his rest, and the Church has sustained a loss in this diocese which may be looked upon as almost irreparable.

The Dean officiated as usual at Divine worship on Sunday, the 24th ult., but immediately after the Communion Servire was obliged to retire to the vestry,,his last words to the congregation who loved him so well

being "Jesus, thy blood and righteousness, My beauty are, my glorious dress," and having announced these opening words of the beautiful hymn, the Dean virtually parted from his church and flock for ever on this earth. During the short interval which elapsed betwe1>n his illn1>11R and death, , the anxiety of his friends and parishioners t• was strung to the highest tension, and the Deanery was daily besieged by numbers of people earnestly hoping for the re-assuring 11ews of his uJtimate recovery. In this anxiety every creed and class were at one, for the Dean was universally beloved by all ". sorts and conditions of men.

To advert, in this obituary notice, to the : deceased Dean's benevolent ancl charitable life, his loving and a..ffectionate disposition, . and the numberless virtues which <'rowned ail bis public and private life, would be in very I'! deed a work of supererogation; they speak trumpet tongued, and no effort of ours is therefore required to do his memory justice.

The late Dean, who was ordained in the yea.r 1855, wa.s Ron of John Swift, Esq., of Keoltown (who died in 1830), formerly of the 84th Regiment, and Susan, d:t.ugbter of the late John VF.strange, J.P., of Keoltown. After his ordination in 1855, he was appointed to the Curacy of Mullingar, aud became Rector of the Parish of Kilbixy in 1865, Rector of Mullingar Parish, 18'75, and Dean of Clonmrt.cnois 1885 (a decade intervening in each case), and took his degree as Doctor of Divinity in 1891, whan he was pre· Mented by his parishioners and other friends with a massi,re silver salver in commemoration of the auspicious event.

The late Dean was a generous benefactor to his church and parish, and amongst many of the good works in which he was the promi· neut figure were the complete restoration of Mullingar Church, the erection of the pulr-it, reading desk and lectern; the handsome entrance gates and piers, the encaustic tiled chancel, the Communion railings and coronas; the building of the 11paoious Parochial-hall -the remaining heavy debt upon which he finally paid off, and only quite recently he had set his hea.rt upon re-modelling the organ and restoring the steeple of theChurch.

It is also a well known fact that a penny of his stipend never found its way into his own pocket. Loving, and beloved, amiable, affable, kind, gentle, even-tempered, genial to rich and poor alike, passed away the good Dean into the joy of his Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.

The remains will be removed for inte1·mcn t to the family burying place, Mulliugar, 011 Monda.y next at half-pa.Mt three o'Clock.
