Mr. Cemmittioner Law adjjaratd the matter for andeno of the exitteace of the society, mentioned in our paptr of Mo dir. Mr.

That matter, however, he rappoeed had been arranged, the Court had heard no mora of it. He (Mr. Commits! oner Law) would like to know th exittence of suca a sociy, ana mutt therefor see Mr. Lord. Mr.

Lord tubaequently attended, sndutd tnat tne society wu formed at the reoaeat of a number of prisoner! in the Qaeen't pritan and Whitecrow etreet, who wished to hare their eeee coniueted in a cheap way. After thit a rot pec tut wu lined, and he iMr. Lord) thought it would bs better to have a committee of retpecUble pertont to look after the application of the fundi, and be therefore mentioned it to two or three parties, who consented to allow their namet to be need. Mr. Commitaioiier Li w.

How many suheenbers are there! Mr. Lord. There are no tubecribers yet. An adrertite meot wu innrUd in Tie Timrt, In eonaequenc of which a variety ef appJcationt were made from pertont connaea in eonntry sttoraieeand wiahing the society to oonduct their cases for them. Mr.

The case ex cited great interest, ia eontequeaee of tbe daring and violent circumstance! nndVr which offence had been perpe arareo. Mr. Hi'd and Mr. Townaend eondaeted th cue an the ptrt of the prosecution and Mr.

Yardley defended the'prr soner Bropby. The other prisoner! were undefended.

On th.

nigbt in qaeation he.left home, leaving his wife, his daurV.er, bit and, and a blacksmith of tbe name of Tbomu Ei wards, sitting by the fire in an apartment tt the rear of the boose. The doors ware doted, but unlocked, at tbe time. Shortly after he left, and when it was about 9 o'clock, th back door wai tadienly opened, and the prisoner Michael Maher entered with a pistol in bit hand. He wu almost immediately followed by fire others.who wet alto armed with pittolt and guns. The unexpected intrusion of tha ptrty, added to the violence of their d.

mainour, naturally nfled the inmates and tin.

This threat bad the effect cf inducing her ta keep quiet aad to rtsnm her uat, whereupon two of the fallows aetied a lighted candl wrucn wu npon in UDie, ana rassa upstairs. Tb other four remained in the apartment, below, each holding tha pistol he held to tbe beads of the four inmates, tailing thtm at the aame tim to look ia th direction of tbe fire, and cot, npon pain of instant death, to torn their eyu either to tha nrht hand or to tb left.

Mrs. Woods, at tbit period. dropped off her chair and npon her knees, owing to tbe dreadful ttate' of terror aad sgttttivn in which sh had been, placed, upon which tha fellow who teems 'ta hare bad her ia charge raised his pistol, placed it clot to her head, and manifested tha fullest determination to fire tha deadly weapon if the movtd an inch. At th tarn time, htr daughter turned ber head partially round for the tmrpese of catching a g'Jmpe oftb fellow who stood over her, when struck ber oa the. bead with his pistol, asd aaid that if the ceased from keeping her eye.

Ia tha eonru of 5 or IB minutst they returned to their comrades and uked Mrs. Woods whether the bad any firtarmt ia th house!

After: they had thamaalv.i taken down th. gun, they uked whether then wtn any watches in tha hous? 1 Mrs. Woods replied in the negative. They liked a similar question of th blacksmith, who Landed them an old watch he bad in hit pocket.

They then ttanbed the kitchen, well the shop, for' further booty and after having broken a box whieh lay apon the dresser, and pocketing its contents, 7s. or 81 they decamped, firtt locking the front and hack doors, to prevent th inmates from alarming tba neighbourhood before they thoald htve been sufficiently oat of reach. Shortly after their departure, and a quarter after 9 o'clock, the prosecutor wu returning across the fields towards Copenhurst, when he met six men going in a dine tun from bit house to Button the Chester and Birkenhead Kail way.
