The prisoner was fully committed for trial .
MAHLBOKOCGH STilEET . TcKsnAT . _—F-EtosY . —Bobtrt Perceval Berks was -brought before Mr . Maltby for final examination on a charge of felony . The prisoner was originally taken into custody for stealing a gold waich , the property ofa lady , living at 12 , Great _Bider-street , St . James ' s . The prisoner , it appeared , had contrived to make the acquaintance of Mr . Iloskins ( late of the London magistracy ) in thc street , and Mr . _Hoskius , imposed upon "by the prisoner ' s specious manner , and his assumption of relationship to tiie Earl of Egremont , after walking about from place to place with theprisoner , took hiin home to dine with him at his apartments , Xo . li , Great "Kder-street . Mr . Iloskins being about to proceed u _> Somersetshire thc same evening to take part in a public ceremony , the prisoner proposed to go down hy the same train , whicli proposal was accepted ; while engaged in
getting ready the luggage , the prisoner contrived to possess himself of a lady ' s gold watch , which stood on the mantelpiece . The watch was not missed until the prisoner and Mr . Iloskins had left to go by the railway train , but measures bring promptly taken to go in pursuit of the prisoner , he wascapturcd , and lodgedin the station-house . The watch was nowhere to be fouud , but a number ol duplicates were fouud ou the prisoner ' s person , which led to the discovery ofa second robbbery . Two ofthe duplicates related to a watch-key and seal , and two silk handkerchiefs . These were _iuc-ntitied by Mr . Heskins as his property . _Thiskltei-casebeiiigcoaiplcteiutheevideKce _, was selected as the one most likely to ensure conviction , ann consequently the evidence respecting the robbery of
-thcgold _Tratcli was not entered upon . The assistants to _31 r _. _Aslnnau au _. l Mr . ISassctt , pawnbrokers , proved that tiie _prisoner j > led-: cd the above ai tides with them , in assumed name ? , on the day of the robbery . Mr . Hoskin . _" ' , in explanation of ihe case , said , he had been completely imposed upon by the prisoner ' s plausible story and ¦ manners-, so much so indeed , as to iuduce him to throw the prisoner a £ 10 note while in company together , telling the prisoner to give him an 1 . 0 . V . if he liked , but if he _objected , uot to mind . He really _believed the _prisoiu-r was a young man of good connexions , but reduced by giving way too freely to the follies of town . The piisuiier , who is stated to be au _apprentice to a surgical instrani _' -ui maker in the Strand , was _fnllv committed .

Mr . William Ridley , . u residing in St . _Geerge ' _s-square , Hoxton , who _ v . cideutallv _uassiuu at the titne , fully corroborated
tne 1 videcca of the parties , and after describing the transaction as the most wanton and brutal outrage he had ever witnessed , expressed his decided o-hiion tliat the prosecutor would certainiy have been murdered , but for the timely arrival of the police . —On being called upon for their ' defence , tiie prisoners in vague and general terms denied the charge , and _deetawl that the prosecutor attacked them in tiie first instaace and bit ne of them in the leg , without tiie s ? H * itest provocation . — Mr . Broughton said that , from the evidence he had . heard , he could come to no other Condnsion than tbat the prisoners had been guilty ofa most brutal and unprovoked outrage upon two unoffending nc ** sons who were proceeding quietly to their homes *; and . although he always felt extremely reluctant to impose sucli a penalty _-ajton working men as would have the effect of _consigningtkern to prison , he felt bound , iu the present case , to w < ter each of them to pay
a fine ef 4 l ) s ., or be committed in _dufault for six weeks to the House of Correction . The » r « _oiicrs begged hard for a mitigation ofthe fine , but ti ** -uursistratesaidhe feared tiw sentence was already & r toe ksient , and lie eould not listen tothe application . _jOften -as the doctrine of propurtiun between the _oir-aoeandtlieamountffpnnishment is-set at nought by our i _-solkeiuagistratcs , we have seldom semi an instance in wiSdx that rule has been more grossly violated , than in that recorded in « ur columns this day , in our report of the _jpn-eeedmgs at Worship-street . Two powevfulyoui _* s men are shown , aot merely bythe testimony of _thcaggtiwvod parties , but also by that of aa indifferent witness , a gentleman casually passing by , to havo first attacked jx _yoauir married _-m-v-h-iii with scandalous
indecency , and Jhen , because her brother-in-law _renionstratedwitii _tluan , to have assailed him with such ferocious _violeaee that the opportune arrival of two policemen alone saved tie life of their victiia . Por such " a most brutal and unprovoked outrage ujion two unoffending _jiersoas » _-lio were proceeding quietly to their homes , " as ilr . _BniU 4 ; llton justly _eharaeterises ibis aitaek , what punishment will il bo imagined tiie wortiiy magistrate imposes t He has before hhn , and he appears to appreciate the infamy of the prisoners' conduct , —their assault upon a _Bvomanl their un-English behaviour in attacking her protector two to one , the falsehood of tlieir defence ; and , & 0 U 1 the terms in which he deuouuees thc ruffians , we should hare made certain that hc was about to mark liis wnu of their hehnvionr bv a sentence tliat should
operate as a salutary lesson to themselves and a warning to others , if we had not before now learned that police magistrates do sometimes ' make their censures and sentences bear an inverse ratio , as though the objurgation were c jnsiJered by them as part of the punishmen t . Mr . Broughton imposed a line 10 =-, or six weeks'iiiiprisonment iu default of payment . It is true , he himself afterwards expresses a'fear that tliis was " fur too lenient . " In this fear we concur . The reason Mr . Broughton rives for his leniency is his reluctance to consign working _MOii to prison ; hi this excuse we do not concur . The offenders were before Mr . Broughton not ih their capacity of working men , but in the character of insolent and ferocious breakers * _jf the peace and the mercy wliich the magistrate _sho'vcil to _tli-i-m was no Mercy to the community , whom it Is Ms duty to protect . —Time * , Tuesdav , ]

The complainant , who had lost the use of his left eye , and was in every other respect no match for the prisoner , stated that on the 13 th ol December , as the vessel was beating down the Uuil Sea for Aden to Bombay , wi : b variable winds , he told the mate that if the weather continued so they would have to put the ship about . Hc then turned in for a short time , but imagining that he heard himself called , he ran upon deck . Thc mate , who was lying in the lien-coop , hearing his voice as he spoke to the boy , jumped up and said , " "What the d is the matter with you . Have you so much 011 your mind that yon can't lie quiet ? " To tliis lie added other abuse , calling the complainant a d d infernal b r , and accused him of having told sonietifngto the master .

VUDBSDAT , JOLT 3 . _TJAX'XG ANO WAGER BILL lord * Wa _* _k-tiy . cLii ? r _* e moved the second reading of this bill . He said its object was to put a stop to the qui taxn actions which , liad been brought against several person- " , some of whom were memb « rs oftheir lordship * , ' house , and to amend _the-law relating to tlic suppression of _comij-m ' ¦ ambling-Kouses , and to amend the law relating to wagers . The present plan , whieh required that two householders should sign an information before a house iu which gambling w « s suspected to be carried on could be entered would be abolished and placed in the hands of a superintendent of police , who would have to make a statement to the commissioners to that effect , who would use their discretion as to whether the house should be entered or not by tiie police , and that wherever dice and other implements of
gambling were found , jthey should be taken as a sufficient evidence that gambling was carried on , though the persons found in the house might not be actually engaged in " play ; " and that billiard-rooms , in which gambling was frequently -carried on , should be licensed by the magistrates in thesameway as other places of entertainment . With respect to wagers , _ky the law , as it now 6 tood wagers were recoverable by law except in certain instances . If the bet did not exceed £ 10 it was a legal wager , but if it exceeded that amount it was illegal . The Bill proposed that no bet whatever should be recoverable before any _OOUl't of law—pulling bets entirely out of the protection of the law . In cases where money was lost by cheating , the party guilty of the cheating should be an object of punishment . Tliese ivere the chief provisions of the Bill . After a few words from Lord Campbell , Lord Brougham , and the Lord Chancellor , Th _» Rill was read a second time .
Fhiday , July 4 . .

_HOt-SE OF COMMONS , Mondat , Juse 30 . COLLEGES ( IBELASn ) BILt , On the motion that the Speaker lcarc the chair , for the _piivgose of enabling the house to go into committee OU _ffci Colleges ( Ireland ) Bill- . . .., Mr . _Skitu O'JklEi . Observed ; that if _liGGVitcrtained any hope of being able to amend thU biUj he would propose a series of amendments for that object ; . but as he had no hopes of succeeding in any attempt to modify the bill , he would state his objections to it in detail . It made no provision for the religious instruction' of any class , _either Boman Catholic or Protestant . It had , therefore , been declared by the Roman Catholic hierarchy to be dangerous to faith and morals . It was also _calculated to pro duce a large field for thc exercise of corrupt tr . nuence foi party purposes , and was , therefore , _particula * Jy objection able to the friends of free institutions iu Ir eland .
Sir J . Graham said that he should _consider it a waste of time to enter into a defence of th < i general outlines of the bill , after the ample discussion _w'aich had taken place WJOtt them on several former occasions . The diffusion of general * intellig « iice was tiie 'tttst guardian against the exercise of any corrupt-influence on thepublic _nr-md in Ireland . - . Mr , _O'Ccksem . _said-thafctoe should not _-ittemiirtto debar the hous * 3 from going . _tet-o committee . Thc Tight hon . baronet was _pei'fectlyjt * ist in assuming that iU _« c house ¦ s houW ! not bedictat < jd .-to by K _« y persons , however respectable or venerable ; I » t then it was worth nhiie for the _Government - co consider how far the measure they ' were putting before the house was _likei }* to be successful . Whet signified tbe _expenditure ef-money , if they did not -sneoeed in their _object t But tlicy could not succeed if
tbtry did not attend to the advice of those persons . The -right hon . baronet said the bill had been much altered -since tho llomaB Catholic prelates had -declared their " -pinion upon it . He believed toe was in . possession of _evidence to show * ti » at those alterations were not considered satisfactory by * those prelates . A lotto ** , dated the 2 « th ot June , from "Be . "M'Hale , "Roman Catholic Archbishop of Tuam , stated that their opinien of thc measure , notwitltstandin ; r-these alterations , remained unaltered . They considered it to be a badscheme of _education , _andt _fie bill . a penal and revolting measure . _;[* Sir , J . Graham" Penal ? " ] Tes , they considered it _poinal , " because they wcre deprrred of doing the duty "they owed to _theprinci--pl-is ¦ ai- _thea * -religioii . ¦ _if-tiie -wovd-was considered too strong , -it-vras evident that it was not stronger than the feeling to ' -which this measure had given rise . Thepbject _of-the'Governmcnt was _to'be-sucoessfiJl _. butthey could not be so if they met with the decided opposition of thc clergy
-and of _-tive-thirds ' -of theIrishpeople . His opinion was , that it-was am _irreligiouE-bill , and that it had not been improved ; by _» the alterations . Much -was talked of _thejealousicsa-ftMiffcrenceB of opinion of the different religious persuasions which "would be excited by the introduction of religious instruction * , why , they existed already ; and , ns-the right hon . baronet said , darkness was calculated to encourage' them . They would prevent light froni being diffused by-excluding religious education from the Protestant , the Uomau Catholic , and the Presbyterian , To promote -the charities oftiieir common Christianity they should give all a religious education ; but , instead of doing that , tliey-left them in darkness . He did not mean to divide the house _thea , but be should take a division on one ofthe early clauses , not with any . hope of success , but by way of protest . Hc protested against the bill as being utterly irreligious , and as giving a kind of left-handed permission to the inculcation nf that which was the best
friend of education , —religion . tovd J . Rosbem , considered | the declaration just made to the honse by Mr . O'ConneU , very important , He feared that , unless this bill wero made acceptable to the Boman Catholic prelates , it wiuld not be of much . use to Ireland . - The Speaker then left the chair , and the house resolved itself into the proposed committee . - In the committee considerable discussion took place on the first clause , empowering the Commissioners of thc Treasury to pay from the Consolidated Fund such sum of money as shall be needed for purchasing lands , tenements , nnd hereditaments , for the use of these new colleges , " and for the necessary buildings with the appurtenances thereof , " and for establishing and furnishing the same , not exceeding £ 33 , 333 Cs . Sd . for cach such college , and not exceeding £ 100 , 000 in the whole .
Lord Jons Russell proposed as an amendment , to add after the words whicli we have enclosed in inverted commas , tlic words "including the building of the halls hereinafter mentioned for the reception of students . " He likewise proposed to omit the words which divided the grant of £ 100 , 000 equally between the three proposed _nexxcolleges , iu order to enable Government to expend on any one of them a sum proportionate to its wants be it more or less than £ 33 , 333 Cs . Sd . Sir James Gbaham , on the part of the Government , declared that it could not assent to either of these amendments . Upon the issue thus joined between the two parties in the house , the . question of separate ov mixed religious or secular education was again raised and strenuously debated . The committee divided , when there
appeared—For the amendment 12 Against it ... 117 . Majority 7 * 5 So it was carried in the negative _. The first clause was then agreed to . Some slight amendments were made in the intermediate clauses , but nothing of any importance occurred until the committee arrived at the 10 th clause , which makes her Majesty the visitor ofthe new colleges , and gives her the power of appointing the professors until thc end of tho year IStS , and afterwards leaves the appointment to be provided for by Parliament , or vests it in her Majesty , her heirs nnd successors , in default of any provision to the contrary .
Mr . "Wise objected to the latter part of this clause , and moved that it be left out of the bill . He proposed instead of it that words should be substituted to tliis effect , —that on any future vacancy occurring in the professorships , such vacancy should be tilled up by such candidates sis , after due public examination before competent examiners , should be declared by them ( being otherwise qualified b . v character and conduct ) to be the most competent to _dUcliai-jje the duties of such professorships , Considerable discussiou followed , but the committee at last divided , aud the amendment was negatived by 111 over 17 .
¦ Sir II . A \ . Barron- then moved that the following proviso be added to the clause : — " Provided always , that previous to the first appointment of any rector , president , head of college , or professor under this -act , tlic Board ol Education in Ireland shall have power to present tltive names to the Lonl-Licutcnantof Iivhind _, who must"select one of thi * said persons to til ! such oflice . " If the _O'overmi-nt acceded to this proviso it would take away nil religious and political bias from these appointments ' , and would destroy the objections urged against this bill on ihe score of Ministerial _iiatrouairc .
_t * ir J . Gi-. aii . im observed , that if lie weve merely seeking the convenience ofthe Government , lie would ' williugl ' _i deprive it of ibis patronage ; but as the committee had decided that the responsibility of these appointments ou _^ _lit to . ''est on the Government , lie must resist the amendment of Sir II . Barron , lie objected also to _vcstinit this patronage in the parties on whom Sir U , Barron luid cast the duty of dispensing it . Ii would diminish the efficiency ofthe _Boaru _ofEdui-. itioa and destroy the harmony with which it had _hitiierio acted in concert with the _finCM-iimpr _, _! - ' ¦ -

The attention paid to the feelings , comfort , and respectability of . the men , rendered the service superior to the military service of other nations . Such being the case he thought the motion altogether unnecessary _. After some observations from Mr . Hume , Sir H . Douglas , and Mr .

Mr .

_WrD . VESDAT , July 2 . On the motion of Mr . Vf . Cowpeb _, the Field Gardens Bill went into committee ; but on the very first clause which came under consideration , Mr .

THE _I 00 R LKW _AMEKDMENT ( SCOTtANDj * B « , L . Mr . T . S .

The hon , member -also _presented a petition from Edinburgh , w _* hidh « _pra _}* ed _-alsa that a clause might be added to the bill , _detSaring that the able-bodied poor in Scotland wcre as much entitled to relief as in England . "The hon , member also presented a similar petition from Aberdeen . \ Sir James _Graiiau * ro * ved ' -the 'Order of the day for going into committee on "She Poor Law ; for Scotland . - Mr . A . _OswAtn moved that the bill be committed that day six _vao-atUs . He was decidedly against its provisions , and he believed -the feeling of the . pg 0 pie of Scotland was genttaUy . _against-the bill .
. Mr , sharman Crawford seconded the . motion ,- The condition of the poor of Scotland was deplorable in the extreme , and required a much more efficient measure than the one before the house . He objected more especially to the 'machinery of the bill that provided for the raising of the fund 6 and the administration of relief , lie considered the management of the poor could not be placed in worse hands than the present Kirk Sessions _^; yet it was proposed to perpetuate their functions . He would , only refer to the north of Scotland to shew how the peor had been treated . - Why , one county had been almost depopulated , liaving been converted into a vast sheep-walk . Jfr . Crawford here read extracts from tlic -evidence of the Sc _« tch Poor Law Commlssioiloi'S , ahd . also from tho article's that haye
recently ' appeared in the ' JXmes newspaper , ( showing the deplorable state of the poor iii'Suthcriand , Much had been _| said of the improvements in Sutherland , and that £ 00 , 000 more than . tho" rental of the county had been expended on those' Improvements since 1811 to the present time . The benefits , however , had not yet been discovered , for It eame out that the rental of the _coxinty was in 1811 above £ 13 , 090 , whereas in 1833 it was not more than £ 85 , 000 . This did not look much like improvement , or that the system pursued had been productive of any benefits either to the landlords or tenants . Tliere were no manufactures , no trade , no business . ! of any kind going forward , even the fisheries had gone into decay under the system of improvement that had been going forward . He instanced thc village of Helmsdale as a proof of the last particular _. ¦
Mr . Locn replied to the statements and charges whicli the lion , member for Rochdale had brought against the management of tho Sutherland estates . He read a number of extracts from documents which he held in his hand , to tbe effect ttiat great improvements had taken place in the condition , habits , and character of the population of that part of the country . Mr . _Siieii , and Mr . NEwnECATE objected to that portion of the bill which prevented Englishmen and Irishmen from gaining a settlement in Scotland . They considered that industrious residence should command relief in any part of the UniteM Kingdom ,
Mr . Edwaiid Elice said he had had great difficulty m making up his mind as to thc course he should pursue . He believed that the Govern ment had attempted to grapple with the subject of pauperism in Scotland in an honest spirit . Still , tliere was so much in the bill that was objectionable—so much to favour the landlords and depress the poor—that he felt compelled to support the amendment . He objected especially to thc constitution of the Board bf Supervision , aud also to the mode in whicli the relief was to be administered . Mr . V . M . Stewart contended that . ' the _! general feeling of the people of Scotland was against the bill , and urged the postponement of it till another session . Mr , Escott supported the amendment . He considered that after the facts which liad been laid before the house , thev ought not to proceed any further _.
Mr . Dundas at some length defended Mr . Loch and the Duke of Sutherland , and said that though Sutherland had not yet shown so much improvement as might have been expected , yet that it was every year getting better . The system of relief he admitted was very inadequate in Scotland , but that should not be taken as evidence of the extreme destitution of the poor of Scotland ; to their great honour , thc poor of that county supported each other even under the most adverse circumstances . Sir James _Ciimiam generally defended the bill . He maintained that it was the _K'St that , under the _circiunstances , could be introduced into the management of the poor of Scotland . Thehouse then divided , when tliere appeared For the amendment 33
Against it 7 ( 1 Majority against the amendment ... — -43 The house then went into committee on the bill , and the consideration of the clauses occupied the remainder of the evening , Fridav , July 4 . common's _e . _vclosukd ant _. On the motion for the house resolving itself into a committee on the Commons Enclosure Bill , . Mr . S . CiiAwroun moved that the bill be committed tliat day three months , ou the ground that it would conduce only to the benefit of the landowners and the lords of the manor . The house had no right to barter away the rights of succeeding generations ; but he would not object to the enclosure of commons , if it could be effected on equitable grounds , though hc would never assent to die Idll before the house . Colonel _Sniriionp seconded fhe amendment .
Lord Wousixy opposed the amendment , and was not sorry the measure was taken out ofhis hands ; for it was one which ought to be taken up by the Government , bcin' - of great public importance . Mr , Home said it was a landlords' bill , nnd founded on ex parte evidence . It wasau invasion , of the rights ofthe poor , and he would oppose it as lie had done all other enclosure bills . After some observations from Mr . Trclawncy and Mr . Henley , Lord Paemerstox said it was a great mistake to suppose that common lands were public property . The projected system of enclosure would give employment to a great many people , and lie would , therefore , support the bill . Lord Liscol . v defended the bill as unobjectionable in principle .

FURTHEn _PARTICULAIIS . ( From the Cork Reporter . ) Ballixiussjc _, Tuesday Mokmxg .-I have been for the last seven or eight hours witnessing scenes ol such an agonising and heartrending nature , that l almost despair of being enabled to convey any idea ot their horror in the hasty notice I send you . lhc _iicace of this hitherto most tranquil village has been sadly disturbed , aud in almost every second house about tlic neighbourhood are heard the waihngs of widowed mothers aud fatherless children , or the loud and disconsolate grief of friends and neighbours at tlic sufferings of tlieir wounded relatives . Aniid the excitement and confusion which prevail all about , it is difficult to collect accurate details ot all the facts ;
but I have made the most minute inquiries , and spoken to at least forty of the persons who were at the fatal spot , or in its immediate vicinity . I am , therefore , enabled to supply you with what . I think may be generally taken as a correct outline ot the melancholy transaction . There is an annual fair held m thc village ot Ua 1-iiniiassig , on tho 30 th of June , whieh is usually mil attended by all tho farmers and people in that district , and it is , 1 believe , customary to send a small police force to the lair in order to prevent nots , or the disturbance of the peace . This precaution was taken yesterday ; but , unfortunately , in my judgment , not earned out with either the prudence , good temper , or moderation which the judicious discharge
of so onerous and responsible a duty demanded . About half-past seven o'clock , when thc business of the fair had concluded , a humber of persons remained near the fair field , and about the little village . I have made special inquiries , to ascertain whether many were under the influence of drink , and I find that those that were se werc compara-j tively few , thc great majority being sober and very peaceable . A party of police , nineteen m number , under thc ' command of Mr . Kelly , sub-inspector at Kinsalo , were stationed near thc cross-road .

Vterly u as a _^ ary _^ " two persons _•"« the crowd , from the _neighborhood of Adamstoffn , whose names I understand aro Sulliva _' . i and Neale , began to quarrel , and others _having _int-jrfercd—whether as combatants or _peacemakers 1 -can not asccrtain-rthc police felt it their duty to arrest one of the principals , Sullivan , svnd immediately- on their doing so one or two mischievous _parssas called out iu Irish , " Don ' t let lumwuhthcni . " Symptoms of a , disposition to rescue Sullivan havi > i *| _"Uius become perceptible , tlic _polioo retired witli their prisoner to the dispensary—thc _ilbor of thai edifice was not on thc hinges , but it * wss > id to . _H-ere some stone throwing occurred . 1 ' e what extent the rioting was carried on in front at this moment , I cannot say , but
some shots having been fired , a number of the country people got into a garden behind thc dispensary , and ware throwing stones on the roof , until tlicy had smashed jt in two or three places . The police , in the meantime , had been again ordered to load , and very soon after they had got into the dispensary , tliey tired from the window and door , with deadly effect . There wiis ho magistrate present ; no Riot Act read ; no warning , as 1 am positively informed , to the people to . desid ; no attempt made to disperse them by ' bavouet charge , or a volley of blank cartridge . . - At the first lire several fell , and the police then came out ; some of them fired again , aud again returned , and tlic whole party once again rushed out , and the people having by this time run in all directions , they
turned up by the bridge in tfie direction oi tlieir oarracks . When they went from the dispensary a small body of people followed them , and though no attack was , as lean learn , then attempted , one or two of the police turned round , and again fired witli the same aim and effect that signalised their previous proceedings . I shall notf come to the sad spectacle which presented itself on my arrival at thc village . Having receiYcd intimation in Cork about twelve o ' clock at night of what had occurred , I proceeded to' the locality , in company with Dr . _M'Evcrs , whose vainable services wero put in requisition for the relief of the unhappy sufferers . Tho first house w © entered , a wretched hovel near the bridge , presented a sight that it would ' require tho gifted pencil of M'Cfise to depict , or the pen of _Oarlctbn to embody in the
pages ot some ot his most tiiriiimg narratives ot Irish suffering . On a heap of potatoes in the corner , resting on thc lap of an aged * , voman , | whosc anguish seemed too deep and intense for utterance , lay the body of a fine athletic man ' , his clothes opon , and liis chest covered with blood ; three or four women wcre collected about , a group of men surrounded him , and only a hollow moan irom thc women occasionally broke the silence of thc house of mourning . With some difficulty I made way for the doctor , and when he held the candle to his ghastly features and looked for a moment on the last convulsive agony , he saw that his end was come . In less than a rainnte hc had ceased to exist , and his announcement of the melancholy truth seemed the signal for a burst of that anguish only thc Irish peasant can express , when involved in such absorbing sorrow . The name of the deceased was Jeremiah Coglan ; hc lived at Skchanagh , was a . small farmer , and had left , besides his aged n . other , a wife and one
child to bewail his sad and untimely fate . The bullet entered at his back , and passing through the lungs came out at the left side . We then hastened to the nearest place where it was intimated that onc ofthe sufferers-lay ,-and in a little house in the village , stretched on thc earthen floor , we found a fine young man named John Walsh , from Carrigaline , aged 24 . His right leg was literally shivered to bits : it had been hastily dressed , but on opening the bandage several large splinters of bone came away , Itwas dressed again , as well as time and circumstances would permit , and the poor sufferer expressed his gratitude over and over for the relief he was afforded . The doctor at once recommended that lie should be removed into Cork to the infirmary , where amputation ofthe limb should take place , as the only chance of saving his life . He was unmarried , but 1 was informed had a young family of lirotlicrs and sisters , who were mainly dependent on his labours .
irom this we proceeded with all expedition to Adamstown , where some of the most dangerous cases had been removed to tlieir own houses . At the house of Maurice Corkran , whom wc found lying on a bed , almost in the agonies of death , his wife aud four young children were screaming at tiie bed-side , and a crowd of neighbours blocked up thc single svpaiimont of liis wretched and cheerless habitation . On examining him , ' 'the doctor was of opinion thathis case was ¦• u itc hopeless . Tlic bullet bad entered between the eighth and ninth ribs , and as well as could be ascerta incd , passing through tlic abdominal viscera , came out'at ' the other side . Ue was throwing up blood in vast quantities , and was fast sinking . The doctor having done all that hc thought advisable for the poor sufferer , we proceeded about half a mile further on , where wc were informed another victim lav .
On entering the house of John Desmond , at Adamstown , we found him lying in bed , witli two gunshot wounds . Iu one place thc bullet entered at the hipbone , and came out behind , the Hesh there bcino greatly lacerated . The other wound presented far more dangerous symptoms ; the ball had entered at the back near the spine , and was lodged in the abdomen . After a minute examination the doctor resolved on extracting it , and did so from the front in tlic most expeditious and scientific manner . "While engaged in the operation the noor man nianil _' estcil
tfie greatest courage ; hu bore it witli patience , such as 1 never before saw equalled ,, and it-has been unlet to have been present ou several such like occasions . 1 have the ball iu my possession ; it is slightly flattened at onc side , by , 1 presume , cnncik-sion ' _u-itii the rib . Such sedatives as were ildemud proper were then administered—fomentations , poultices , ifcc , to keep down iniiammatioii _, and unless internal hemorrhage should supervene , it is possible he mav recover . Ihe odds , however , are fearfully against him . Ho was a remarkably athletic man , and had onlv becu mavncA hist Kaster .
_Returning from this poor man ' s house wo met ' a fine stout young mau named _Uichai-iUJaireii " , _ot'linlliiipiidick , the son , I understand , of _,-i verv _ciimlbrtable larmcr _, and a very respectable man / A _biilM iiad entered the back of liis left hand between the first and second met _.-iearpal'bonos , ami ' o . _'heit in tiie ball of the thumb .
