no conversation between my son and Mrs. Nutley shies with regard to the master beiug drank. Patrick M'Carthy, sworn, deposed that he was porter at the Dungarvan workhouse about fifteen months; heard all the evidence given this day. Mr.O'Brien: Morrissy charges you with being under the influence of drink on the 2')th July last? M'Carthy: I deny the charge, your honor; I was in town, my daughter wis going to America, and on that occasion I took a glass of Mr. O'Brien He charges you with allowiug a man named Heafy to leave the house with a pair of tho anion shoes with him M'Carthy The una referred to took a pair of slippers with him, as he had none of his own he having then left the hospital, was in dread he might catch cold his wife returned them immediately after bis getting home, Mr.

O'Brien: Yoa are charged in Mr. Morrissy's letter with having lewd woman visiting your lodge, making up your room, and smoking tobacco M'Carthy 1 deuy that charge there never was such a person visited my lodge. Mr. Hudson Did any woman whom you knew in America visit yoa M'Carthy, yoa are a man of excellent character, and I am quite certain you would state nothing but the truth did such a woman visit the lodge There was a woman that I knew in Boston, who was on the voyage home with me, and she came into tbe lodge occasionally when passing by, but she was not a person of that description stated by Mr. Morrissy.

Mr. O'Brien What is the name of that woman Her name is Anne Veale. Mr. O'Brien: Iiow often did she visit About three or four times. Mr.

O'Brieu What time did she visit you? Generally in the day time. Mr. O'Brieu On yoursolemu oath, did she ever make up your room? M'Carthy: She never did. Mr. O'Brien: Did she ever smoke in tho lodge On my oath she never did.

Mr. O'Brieu: Did she ever visit you when there was uo one present? Never. Mr. O'Brien: Morrissy stated in his charge that he beard a conversation between you and the master, that a woman Applied for admission on a certain night and was refused by you, that you did not go to the master to stato the circumstance to him, that she had to lie by the side of the road that night, and that when you spoke to him the following morning about the matter, he told yoa in reply it was bed good euough for her." M'Carthy It's false uo such conversation ever occurred between us. Mr.

O'Brien Did you ever receive any vegetable money M'Carthy: Yes, once or twice, and sent it to tbe clerk. Mr. O'Brien How could you ascertain the quantity of vegetables the parties were taking when you got no docket M'Carthy: I counted them, there being a fixed price, and then got the docket. Mr. Hudson Was the master present when you generally counted the vegetables M'Carth' He was, sir, always present, except upon one or two occasions.

about oil, and the making of wax, and from his general manner in putting such questions believed him to be so had he been sober he would not have put them a3 he did he was checked at the time by the matron. On the 14th October last, and on several other occasions, the officers' servants were cutting vegetables on the premises, and he asked what quantity were they allowed, aud they said they did not know. Again, on taking the late census, about April or May last, the master had a man named McGrath assisting him, and he allowed him to leave the house some time in the night without the knowledge of the porter. Mr. O'Brien On your solemn oath, as a Roman Catholic (such being stated in your letter to the commissioners as your religion), did you consider yourself bound in conscience to make these statements Morrissy Yes, sir, I did.

Mr. O'Brien When did you feel bound in conscience to tell these things Morrissy Within the last three months, when I was attending my religious duties. Mr. O'Brien Previous to this did you entertain these religious scruples From what date did you take your notes? Morrissy: Within the last three months, but previous to this I kept no notes of the occurrences that came under my notice, but had them from memory. Mr.

Why did you keep these notes? Had you any particular object in view Morrissy: My reason for taking these notes was fearing that anything may turn up in the house, that I may be called on to give an explanation. Mr. O'Brien Why did you not report these charges of drunkenness when they occurred, you being a person of such scruple, considering them to be so serious as you state Morrissy I was not prepared, that is, my mind did not lead me to do so but I told the matron and porter of it. Mr. O'Brien On your solemn oath, did any circumstance occur between you and the master that caused you to make this report? Morrissy; No, sir, but I furnished him with a private bill for work dine for himself, and he called it a robbing bill this occurred about September last.

Mr. O'Brien Had you and the master any difference about work in the shoemaking department Morrissy The master said that he would get the guardians to reduce my contract prices, and I said to him that was a matter for the consideration of the board and not for him. Mr. O'Brien Did the master suggest to the guardians From the Irish Farmer's Gazette). Scour in Lambs.

When the scour is observed, immediately a dose of common salt (a teaspoonful) is given should that not answer, it is repeated every third day until the animal is quite well. One dose is generally sufficient very seldom a third has to be resorted to. Whether the disease is caused by worms, and if so, whether the dry salt dissolving in their mouths has the effect of killing them, I cannot say but this I know, I have never found the remedy fail when tried by me. Having read some time since in your journal that placing a sheep si: affected sitting in a tub of cold water for a quarter of an hour was an effectual cure, I have in addition to the salt, done so. If it has no other effect, it is of benefit in cleansing the animal of the dirt and dung conseqent on the disease and thereby a saving of wool, instead of resorting to the old practice of flagging.

Yours Richard Thompson, Killoleran, Waterford. Top-dressing Meadows. If you want to keep the land as a permanent meadow, you will find nothing equal to good farm-yard manure mixed with good earth, of which you can scarcely apply too mucb at least you may give from 40 to 80 tons per Irish acre, and the sooner it is applied the better. If it wants lime, you may apply bones ground to dust, at the rate of 6 to 10 bushels per Irish acre, with the far.n-yard manure or you may apply 20 40 barrels lime per acre, mixed in compost with the earth as to commercial superphosphate, we put not much faith in it, unless manufactured by a respectable house. There is so much jobbery and adulteration going now-a-days in the manufacture of artificial manures that we would recommend every farmer tj make his own superphosphate, by getting the pure bones and digesting them with vitriol it will be cheaper and may be depended on.

Bones are excellent for pasture lands, and will improve the quality of the milk the quantity depends on the luxuriant state of the herbage. Attacked by Insects. "A Reader," Wicklow, writes My celery is lately attacked by an insect, which commences by perforating the leaf-stalk at top, and afterwards burrowing its way downwards, eating away the whole of the pith, and, consequently, rendering it unfit for use. Some say that a mixture of lime with the manure at time of planting would be useful as preventive do you consider such to be the case Any information from ym or some one of your numerous readers, as to what will be the means of arresting its ravages will much oblige." As the insect, whatever it may be, attacks the plant above, and burrows downward, we place no faith in the recommendation of mixing lime with the manure as a preventive, unless it would appear that the egg or grub of the insect lay in the manure had you sent us a specimen, in a small box, of the insect we might be able to make out its history, and suggest a remedy this you have not done, and therefore we are in totid darkness about it however, it is more than probable that dusting the plants with fine, dry lime may prevent further ravages you must watch the progress of the insect, and apply the lime more or less frequently as may be required the application of 1 lb. salt dissolved in 2 gallons of water from the rose of a water pot may have the same effect.

The Clerk said he sent on the return on the 28th instant. THE LATE INQUIRY THE HOSPITAL EXTRAS. Mr. O'Brien said he attended at the workhouse on Wednesday, the 30th October in accordance with the directions of the poor law commissioners, to make inquiry upon oath relative to the increasing expenditure in supplying extras to the patients in the infirmity and fever hospital.

From inquiry he bad made, it appeared to bim there was nothing extraordinary expended to call for the iuquiry at all, as from the evidence it appeared that in no single instance were auy kind of stimulants given where they were not absolutely necessary. He would be glad to know if any of the guardians wished to suggest anything else to his notice with regard to tbe extra before closing his report, and submitting it the poor law counnUsioners for their consideration. In no single instance did he (Mr. O'Brien) find that stimulants were given unless when required. Mr.

Maguire What astonishes the guardians is, bow the expenditure and treatment ditfer under tbe same medical officer. Tea and whiskey have increased more than double for the past eighteen months. Mr. O'Brien The doctor has explained that he says there was a did'erent class of patients in the house. Dr.

Parcell (Medical Inspector) thought there was nothing extraordinary iu the cost of extras, when tho number in infirmary and fever hospital would be taken into account. He bad gone through tbe hospital of the house, and be had seen some very bad cases still there. Mr. Quinlan asked if the Medical Officer had the sole power to give whatever he wished to patients or if the guardiaus had any authority over bim Mr. O'Brieu The Medical Officer has tbe power to do so, and he thought would be uncharitable for the guardians, even if they had the power, not to givelthe nourishment thus ordered to the patients.

The Medical Officer coald not be dictated to with regard to his professional discretion, bat if a case occurred tliat the guardians thought required explanation, of coarse they could call the Medical Officer's attention to it, and get an explanation from him. Adjourned. Thb Streets Postal Delivery. It has beeu repeatedly said that if our Town's Commissioners have the power, they would coufor a very great publio favour indeed by having the houses iu each street consecutively numbered. It is said they have the necessary authority under the Towns' IinDrovemeut Act if so.

it is to be hoped this very great improvement will be at once carried out, Iu one respect its institution would be invaluable, as it would very materially facilitate a correct postal delivery, which cauuot be hoped for under other ciicuuistances. Suspected Robbery. On the night of the 30th a valuable chestnut mare, belonging to Sir J. N. Humble, was missed from the demesne of Clonooskoran, near this town, and supposed to have been stolen.

Search was at once instituted, and on the following day the animal was found in a field near Kilmacthomas. A reward of i.10 has been offeicd for the conviction of the thief. The Expenses of Public Worship in Francc. The expenses of public worship have considerably increased since the restoration. They were 21,000, OOOf.

in 1818, in 1S19, in 1S47, and for 18G2 they are estimated at All forms of worship are tolerated in France, but only three are paid for by the state the Roman Catholic, the Protestant, a'nd the Jewish, and the latter has only been so since 1831. In the Roman Catholic church there are 81 prelates sixteen of them are archbishops, of whom one, that of Paris, receives a year, the others and 65 bishops, who are allowed each. An" addition of is given to six of the prelates, on account of their being cardinals and as in the quality of cardinals they are senators ex-officio, they receive a further sura of a-year. The chapters and parochial clergy consist of 178 vicars-general, who receive from to 693 canons receiving from to 3,436 curates from to and 30,213 other priests who receive from 900f. to according to their age.

The total expenses for Roman Catholic i worship amount to The Protestant clertry consist of 814 ministers, who receive from to 3, OOOf. each, and 2 assistant ministers, who are paid from 700f. to 750f. The total outlay for Protestant worship is In the Jewish community there are 10 chief rabbis, paid from to 51 communal rabbis, from SOOf. lo and 62 officiating priests, from 500f.

Conrvoisier had so artfully effected the murder and robbery, that his counsel declared him, before his God, innocent, and acquittal would have been the result but Madame Piolaine, at the eleventh hour, stepped forward and pointed out the man who had left a parcel contain-in? the plate of the murdered nobleman. At her look Courvoisier trembled.

That look cost him his li'e. How much did it cost the poor woman That look rendered her homeless, shook the reason of her husband who ended his days in a mad house and left her penniless, a widow and a mother, in, to her, a cold world. The hotel of Piolaine was supported by foreigners and, because the murderer happened to be a foreigner, they shunned his house, and his interested neighbours alleged that Piolaine had brought one of their countrymen to the gallows that he had sold his countryman for a promised reward. Piolaine denied having given up the parcel with a mercenery view he maintained that the foul deed was so monstrous that, had Courvoisier been his own brother, he would have felt himself hound to bring him to justice. This would not do his house was marked, and the finger of scorn was pointed at him.

For a period he struggled on, thinking that time would bring about a change but no. He became a bankrupt, fled to Boulogne, where he became a ton tor, and soon afterwards ended his days in a madhouse. His industrious wife, who was an Englishwoman, returned to London with her orphan boy, opened a shop, which did not answer, and at last left for America, in the hope of obtaining a livelihood there. Brought out by Accident. There have been very popular writers who have been brought out by accident.

They did not know what precious rein of thought they had at command till they stumbled upon it as if by chance, like the Indian on the mines of Potosi. It is not much that we know of Shakspeare, but it seems certain that it was in patching up old ploys for acting that he discovered within himself a capacity for producing that which men will not easily let die. When a young military man, disheartened with the service, sought -for appointment as an Irish Commissioner of Excise, and was sadly disappointed because he did not get it, it is probable that he had as little idea as any one else that he possessed that aptitude for the conduct of war which was to make him the Duke of Wellington. And when a young mathematician, entirely devoid of ambition, desired to settle quietly down, and devote his life to that unexciting study, he was not aware that he was a person of whom more might be made who was- to grow into the great Emperor Napoleon. I have other instances in my mind, but after these last it is needless to mention them.

But such cases suggest to us that there may have been many Folletts ho never held a brief, many Keaus who have never acted but in barns, many Vandykes who never earned more than sixpence a day, many Goldsmiths who never were better than penny-a-liners, many Michaels who never built their St. Peters, and perhaps a Shakspeare who held horses at the theatre door for pence, as the Shakspeare we know of did, and who stopped there. iraser't Magazine. Board of Charitable Bequests. On looking over the statutes passed during the last session of parliament, we find an act which removes Judge Keatinge, as Judge of the Court of Probate, from being one of the Board of Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests for Ireland, of which he had previously been a member, by virtue of his office.

The act recites the inconveniences which frequently arose in consequence of the Judge of the Court of Probate being called upon to adjudicate in cases in which the commissioners were parties, and empowers her Majesty to appoint a member of the board in the room of that judge. We undestand that her Majesty has appointed Joseph Radcliffe, Q.C., Judge of the Ccnsistorial Court, ca ommissioner in place of Judge Keatinge. We observe that a deputation has waited on Sir Robert Peel, to represent the necessity of changes in the law, to extend the powers of the ard, with a view to increase its utility. Dublin Evening Post. Advertising.

The prices occasionally paid for advertisements may suggest some curious reflections. Her Majesty 's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1862 received last week offers for the wrappers of the two shilling Catalogues, the printing of which we have already announced as having arranged for; and we understand that Mr. Bennett, the watchmaker, bas been a successful bidder for the back page of each of these catalogue wrappers, having paid for the two the sum of oue thousand guineas. The Accidental Death Insurance Company has also obtained the last page but one, at the price of 600 and Messrs. Chappel and of Bond-street, got page at back of title in each catologue, I having also paid 600.

P. O'Brien, poor law inspector, accompanied by Dr. Parcell, medical inspector, held An inquiry in reference to tho return of the average weekly nuuilier in hospital, the number of deaths, and the qoautity of extras consumed by tho patients duiiug the periods of three years, ended Sept. 1881. The following guardians were present Messrs.

Francis Kennedy, Henry A. Fitz-ierald, J.P., Michael A. Anthony, D.V.C., Richard G. Hudson, O'Brien, Dower, Walsh, and Jl'C'ann. Mr.

O'Brien read the resolution proposed by Mr. Hudson, and seconded by Mr. M'Cami, calliug on the commissioners to order the present enquiry, and stated that he wrote to the clerks of the Lismore and Youghal unions for a return of the average number of patients in the infirmary and fever hospital in 1850, '60, and '61, and average cost in each. Mr. O'Brieu fully entered into the several items of the report, and compared them with medical officer's prescription book as to tbe number of patients io the respective years referred to, with the quantity and description of extras allowed or ordered.

He occupied nearly four hours in calling over the names of the patients who received those extras. Mr. O'Brien to the medical Did you give wine, porter, spirits, tea, in all cases where you considered there was a necessity Medical officer said he did, and never gave a single extra but where he considered there was a necessity, and had no further explanation to give. A few other questions were put to the medical officer which he fully answered, and then Mary Hourigan, hospital nurse, was sworn and examined so as to ascertain from her were these extras ordered by the medical officer given to the pptients in hospital She stated that they were. Mr.

O'Brien asked her did she abvays refer to the medical officer's prescription book Mrs. Hourigan said she did. Mr. Anthony: Have you chanre of that hook Mrs. Hourigan said not.

Mr. O'Brien: How do you ascertain that the assistant-nurses discharge their respective duties? Mrs. Honrigan said that she abvays asked the patients did they get so and so, to which they replied yes, on all occasions. Mr. O'Brien Do the assistant-nurses depend on their memory as to your directions to them Mrs.

Hourigan said yes she always told the name of the patient, and what he was to get. Matthew Shine (master) deposed that he was master of the Dungarvan workhouse since October 1800 issued all extras as ordered by the medical officer for the patients he visited the hospital daily, and took steps to ascertain whether they got the extras so ordered hv asking tbein. and always found such extras correspond with the book, and with the ailment for which they wore prescrined; only found in one instance where the patient said he did not get the extras ordered, but this was afterwards contradicted, and 'shown to be wrong. As regards the hospital pauper assistants, they were con? fidetitinl parties in whom every reliance conld be placed. Mr.

O'Brien closed this day's enquiry, and observed that be and Dr. Purcell would visit the hospital next morning, with the view of ascertaining from the patients did they receive those extras as ordered by the medical officer, and hoped that they would be accompanied by some of the guardians. Mr. Anthony sai that he would attend next day, in accordance with the suggestion of the inspector. Adjourned.

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION. On Friday, the 1st instant, W. P. O'Brien, P.L.I., held an inquiry into certain charges preferred by Thomas Morrissey, master-shoemaker, against the master, (Mr. Shine), the matron and porter; the nature of which will appear in the subjoined evidence.

Witness, in continuation, said on the 7tii he saw a vegetable woman, named Catherine CugMan, purchase vegetables, of which she was three pence short she passed out without producing to the porter the necessary docket; on the 20th July, Mrs Morrissy and Mrs. Nutley gave him a one pound note to be given to the master; as he could not be seen that evening, he next morning handed it to him when he came to attend the officiating clergyman at mas; it was customary with the master to receive money without beiug checked by the clerk saw the porter take money on the 8th October, and hand it to oue of the pauper inmates, William Large, to be given to the master he believed it to be about eighteen pence or two shillings after tho vegetable woman passed out saw the master writing some document it was a general practice with the servants of the officers to go on the premises, and take any quantity of vegetables they thought proper, though being allowed but one head of cabbage. Mr. O'Brien Which of the officer's servants did you see upon the occasion you allude to? Morrissy I saw the servant of the schoolmistress take cabbage and parsnips, which was more than was generally allowed; saw the nurse's servant.cook's servant, and muster's servant take more than was allowed, particularly when he had visitors on Sundays, but could not state the number of parsnips the master's servant took she took about four or five heads of cabbage saw her on one occasion digging parsnips for ten or eleven minutes, and as to the cook's servant, conld not say how many she took.

Mr. O'Brien Was it on Sundays, as you state, when the master had visitors, the larger quantities of vegetables were taken Morrissy Yes, sir. Mr. O'Brien How was it that you visited here on Sundays Morrissy said he attended the clergyman. On the seventh of October, about half-past six o'clock in the evening, he saw the master under the influence of drink; the matron and Johanna Mahony were present.

Mr. O'Brien How was it that you particularly formed the opinion of the master being under the influence of drink that evening? Morrissy: He put some questions to me SIGNS OF RAIN. The hollow winds begin to blow, Tbe clouds look black, the glass is low, The soot falls down, the spaniels sleep, And spider from their cobweba creep. Last ni ht the son went pale to bed, The moon in nalos hid her head. The boding shepherd heaves a sigh, For, see a rainbow spans the bky.

The walls are damp, the ditches smell. Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel. Hark bow the chairs and tables Old Btr 's joints arc on the rack. I-nd quack the ducks, the peacooli3 cry, TbtdisMm are Iocfcioxnigh. How resiles are the snorting -The- busy flies disturb the kiae.

Low o'er tbe grass the swallow wings; The cricket, too, how loud it sings. Puss on the earth with velvet paws. Sits smoothing o'er her wliUkcr'J jaws. Thro' the clear the fishes rise. Ami ntmMj cat the incautious tlies.

The sheep were seen early light Cropping tiie meads with eager bite. Thy June, the air is nU1 and chill The mellow blackbird's voice is ttill. The glow-worms, ntimvron and bright, Ittu n'd the dewy dell last night. At dusk the iuahd torn! was seen Hopping, crawling oVr the greta. frog has lost it yellow vest, And in a dingy suit is dressed.

The leech, disturb' 1, is newly risen, luitc to the summit of his prison. Tbe whirling winds tiie dust obeys, Anl in the rapid eddy plays. My dog. so ait ere in his taste. Quits mutton-bones on grass to feast Ami sec yon rooks, how odd their llight They imitate the gliding kite Or seem, precipitate, to fall, As if they felt the piercing ba'L 'Twill surtly rain -I see with sorrow.

Our jaunt mast be put on to-morrow. THC LANGUAGE OF THE EYES. I never heard thj lips pronounce The soul-sweet sound of love's execs I rever heard a sih announce Thy swelling heart's intense distress: Fut from those fountains brightly b'ay Twin portals of the soul divine I've drank conviction, full and true, To make this heart for ever thine. The winded whisperings that dart Jn from fond eyes. Are nut les tvue though voice impart To them no earthly sound or guise Oh I would hear thee speak The harshest sables than view One gleam of discontentment break From those soft orbs of lustrous biuo.

No guile may there its purpose veil, Nor falsehood in their beaming rest A glance, or look, will still reveal The deepest secrets of the breast And he may trust the vision bright Despite a formal cold disguise- Who reads love's tale of sweet delight In the clear ptha of azure eyes. I'd sit beside, zul rea the mind, Through the lon 'apse of luckless hours, 2ior ever ask deep vows to bind In linked faith such hearts as ours Bat trust, like smiles of light above. Serenely spread o'er summer skies, Tiiat truth, irradiate of thy love. For ever beaming in those eyes.

A Great Brute putting a fixe Ship in Peril.

The American ship A. from Liverpool to New York, was grounded last week on the inside of the Blackwater Bank, within two miles of where the Pomona was lst. Having burned blue-lights, she was boarded by Mr. Truscott, Liverpool agent to the I.yilia, wrecked near the same spot, and the treatment which the crew who accompanied him received at the hands of the captain, as detailed ist the ICe-rord Independent, deserves the condemnation which all scoundrelisni should receive, and which is almost s.iHicint to deter men from periling their lives when tin re is a chance of meeting such fellows as the master of the A. Z.

Immediately after receiving ali information, the captain of the A. without any explanation whatsoever, took up two belaying pins out of thf larboard rail, and roared out in a passionate tone, Get into your boat, you Irish devils following the boat's crew around th? quarter deck, striking all he could come at. When the crew were getting into the boat over the rail at such daneeroiw speed, that Mr. Truscott felt it his duty to face the infuriated and ungrateful Yankee, in order to give the boat's crew time to get into their boat, without loss of life, he received a severe blow of the belaying pin on his arm. which was aimed at bis head.

Notwithstanding this cruel and barbarous treatment, Mr. Truscott wrote with chalk on tiie vessel's side, her true position, lest the fury of the captain might endanger the ship and all on board. As Mr. Truscott and crew were leaving the ship's side, the coastguards came tip, and went on board. The Wexford steam tug F.rin net came up, and otic-red her services, to which no reply was made, when she returned towards Wexford, and after eiving similar information to that supplied by Mr.

Truscott, were ordered by the optain, in the same violent manner that he treated Mr. Truscott' crew (save the personal violence), to leave the ship. After the boats bad left, she hoisted a fl ig of distress, when a boat from J.Jorriscastlc, manned by M.rdiat-l Leary, John Fortune, and three others, boarded her, when, by backing and filling, she was got off the bank in the course of a couple of hours. "Whilst engaged in trying to get her off, one man as left in the boat, when the painter broke by the surging of the ship, and the boat drifted away, but the heartless master of the ship rendered no assistance and the poor fellow ivas afterwards picked up by the Colore Life Boat." How thl Biiile was Translated. We are indebted to King James for the excellent translation of the bible now in use.

This version was undertaken by him in performance of a promise made by the King at the Hampton Court conference and Dr. Reynolds, the great champion of the Puritans, by whom it was there suggested, was one of the divines ensrasred in its execution. Forty-seven of the best biblical scholars undertook the great labour of love, rIio divided themselves into six classes, each undertaking a portion of the Scriptures. Each member of a class translated the whole of the portion set apart to his class, then the class met and revised as a body their separate versions. One general version was then agreed upon by the class, which was subsequently revised by each of the other Two of the classes sat at Cambridge, two Oxford, and two at Westminster.

Three years were spent in the r.ndertuking from JG07 to Id I. The new version was dedicated to the king, and piii.ted by Robert Barker in the year of its completion. 'I he excellence of the translation is universally acknowledged; and though, in consequence of the changes which our forms of speech have since undergone, many expressions in it may tow appear unrefined or homely, its general effect is far more impressive than that of a more polished translation it performs a service of an opposite nature, and keeps in use, or at least in remembrance, many valuable words and expressive idioms which would otherwise have been ejected with disdain by the fastidiousness of modern taste as homely and familiar.

M'Certhy: I never did.

Mr. O'Brieu: Did you ever see Mr. Shine coming into the union workhouse under the influence of drink M'Carthy On my oath I never saw hiin drunk he talked as usual, and did his business that night. Mr.O'Brien Do yon remember the evening be was iu company with Johanna Mahonycoming from the public-house iu Black pool in what state then was he M'Carthy 1 could not swear he was drunk or sober 1 opened the gate and lie pissed ou quickly can't say was the master leaning on the arm of Johanna Mahony. Mr.

linen I ou have heard the- evidence of the two vegetable women, Mrs. Morrissy and Mrs. Nutley, that they were sitting at the gate waiting for the master? M'Carthy Yes, sir, I have. Mr. O'Brien What hour was it when the master came? Well, I might say about five clock in the evening he was accompanied by Johanna Mahony they were after selling the potatoes iu market.

Mr. (J linen: Was he drunk or sober on that occa sion He was under the influence of drink, but not to that decree as stated bv Mr. Morrissy iu his letter to the Com missioners, or by the vegetable women. Mr.O'Brien: Was he leaning on Johanna Mahony arm as stated by the wit nesscs He was uot Johanna Mahony was walking at some distance from him he could walk straight and firm saw him attend to his business that night. Mr.

linen Did these women speak to him No, they followed hiin down the avenue. Mr. O'Brien: Did you speak to him as he passed on No, but I spoke to bitn in his office some time after, and saw hun there transacting business as usual. Mr. O'Brien In what condition was the master then Ho was as sober and as regular in his manner as myself.

Mr. O'Brien Would you say he was under the influence of drink? I would not, but would kuow he had a little drop takeu. Morrissy through the Inspector asked had he any conversation with the master after coming from Ardmore? M'Carthy said he went to tbe master to have the place locked np aud give up his keys. Mr. O'Brien Did the master call yon a blackguard for coming to him with the keys, as you wauted Morrissy then to leave M'Carthy: He did.

Mr. Hudson On your solemn oath was the master under the iufluence of drink when he culled yoa a blackguard? M'Carthy: Well, 1 would not say he was, be was more sober than drunk, I might say tipsy. Mr. O'Brien On the 20th July, when the witnesses were sitting at the gite, how far asunder were Johanna Mahony and the master M'Carthy: About three 3'ards or so. Mr.

Hudson Ou your solemn oath, was he assisted upon that occasion by any person as far as the porch M'Carthy said not. Mr. Hudson On your oath was he drunk ou'that evening? He was not. Mr. Hudson: Was he sober He was not.

Mr. Hudson How did you observe that he id anything takeu that evening He had a little blush iu his face. Morrissy through the Inspector Did yoa insert my name ou the report book the night I accompanied the master, the 23th of August last M'Carthy I did not, because it was entered before in the early part of the day. Mr.O'Brien: If a person visits moe than once a day, do you enter the name? I do. Mr.

O'Brien Why did you not insert it upon that occasion Because he remained no more than ten or fifteen minutes. Mr, Hudson Is it your practice if parties coins in here and do not reiinin more than tea or fifteen minutes that you do not insert their names iu your book M'Carthy: If the-remain more than fifteen minutes I put their names down in my book. (Mr. Hudson told the clerk to take a note of what the porter now stated, which was done). Mr.

O'Brieu Was Anne Veale ou the evening of the 2'Jth August iu the lodge She was not. Mr.Matthew Shine, master, sworn Mr. O'Brien Was there any conversation between yoa and the porter, in reference to a woman who was allowed to sleep all niirht on the side of the road Mr. Shine I had uot, neither had I the slightest knowledge of it. Mr.O'Brien: Is it true that on the 20th July last, Mrs.

Morrissy and Mrs. Nutley saw you enter tbe workhouse premises drunk? Mr. Shine: I deny the chanre; the woman, Johanna M.ihouy, was selling the farm potatoes on the market that day, which were disposed of about four o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. O'Brien: Were you under tho influence of drink Mr.

Shine I had some small share taken, two small bottles of porter these were taken between four aud five o'clock that was all I took during the day, and I was perfectly well able to attend to my business. As to the 28th July, being at Ardincre, he hall only five small liottles of ale or porter, did uot know which after his coming home that evening he wrote a description of Ardmore had he been under the influence of drink as stated by Morrissy in his charge, he could not be in a position to give a sketch of it in reference to the 28th August, be had a small liottle of ale at Mr. Tobin's, Blackpool, and previous to that be had three small bottles at Mr. Vhelau's, Abbeyside. Mr.

O'Brieu: Had this any effect oil you? Mr. Shine No, but after I took a smoke, it affected me very much, uot being an habitual smoker. Ou several occasions, when I took a smoke, I got weaknesses and became ill on this uiglit I walked to the workhouse, accompanied by Morrissy, and while on the road I told him on three dittereut occasions to go home and uot to inconvenience himself, that he was goiug out of his way, and that I was well able to go home all I could say could not induce him to return, Mr.O'Brien: la it true, that Jerry A'tlearne, an iumato ol the house, went out to fish Mr. Shine got a pass to go out for recreation after having beeu discharged from hospital, where he was sixteen weeks it wis considered to be more couducive to the restoration of his health than remain iuside, aud he did fish the three or four trout he caught he gave them to the mistress he gave directions to A'Hearne uot to go in future. Mr.

O'Brieu What explanation call you give as to the children gettinr second quality bread Mr. Shine There are none getting first quality of bread but the infants. As to Laurence Reynolds having the uuiou shoes on, and wearing his own clothes, my object in doing so was, with tho view of his seekiug for employment he being a very good clerk, the guardians on many occasions were most anxious he should seek for employment these were the grouuds on which I allowed Reynolds the shoes for a few hoars. As to the officers' servants taking vegetables, as described by Morrissy, it is not true they were never taken without his knowledge, and if he had not time to attend, they came and showed the quantity cut. On Fridays there were no vegetables required, and on Sundays they may be allowed to take a head of cubbbage more, or a parsinp or two there was no fixed scale as to the number, a fact to which the clerk bore testimony.

As to McGrath assisting him in taking the census, he was obliged to do so, from great pressure of busiuess, but did not under any circumstance let him out on the night iu question unknown to tho porter. Mr. O'Brien Ou the evening Mrs. Orr's clerk was with you was the supper of the inmates delayed, as stated in Mr. Morrissy's charge? Mr.

Shine: No, the suppers are gifen between the hours of six and seven o'clock. Mr. O'Brien On the night of the 2Sth August last, it was stated you were drunk did Mr. Morrissy put yoa into bed Mr. Shine No, I was well able to go myself without his assistance he certainly accom-panied me into my room I was very ill in cousenueuce of taking the smoke I did not wish the matron shouhl see me I always regulated everything previous to my retiring to bed, during my time in the bouse, except tbe nuht in question.

Mr. Hudson Are yon an habitual smoker Mr. Shine I am not, and it's the effect of smoking that caused me to be so ill I often got a weakness after smoking, not being accustomed to it. Mr. David Fitzgerald deposed he was clerk of the Dungarvan union, aud bad charge of the agricultural farm buok, and regularly checked the master's weekly accounts; found them at all times to be most correct a trifling error might appear in the provision account during bis hours of attendance at the workhouse never saw the slightest sign of drink on Mr.

Shine; be was always most attentive to his duties as master. The charges preferred against the matron, being on the Cunnigar Island with the schoolmistress, aud stating iu presence of Morrissy that she would report the conduct of the master to the boatd of guardians, were not enquired into in prescuco of the reporters, as the matron was not iu good health after her confinement.

O'Brien Was Mr. Shine under the influence of driuk that day Mr. Buckley I could not say from his manner that he was drunk, I saw him take a bottle of porter. Mr. O'Brien here read Mr.

Morrissy's letter to the commissioners charging the master with being heavily under the influence of drink, and in continuation said Do you think, Mr. Buckley, is that a true description of Mr. Shine as he appeared to you on that day Mr. Buckley I think it's not correct. Morrissy, through the in spector, asked Mr.

Buckley into how many public houses did Mr. Shine go that day? Mr. Buckley Why, we went into two; saw Mr. Shine take a small bottle of porter. Mr.

O'Brien Did you state, Mr. Buckley, to the matron, you were dis pleased with the master's conduct on that day Mr. Buckley Not in reference to his conduct, but I may have said it with regard to the delay. Mr. Hudson Are you prepared to swear that the master was not drunk at Ardmore that day? Mr.

Buckley He was not drunk it was after coming out of the first public house he had any appearance of it. Mr. Hudson: After leaving that public house did you visit another? Mr. Buckley: Yes, and it's after leaving the first house he had the ap pearance cannot state whether he took any in the second or not. Mr.

Hudson You were in his company in the second public house, you sat and spoke to him, and you cannot swear whether he took anything in your company? Mr. Buckley Not to my knowledge; he may or may not have taken anything, but not to my knowledge I was perfectly sober, though I took five bottles of porter during the day. Morrissy, through the chairman Had the witness any conversation, previous to this day, with tke matron reference to this inquiry. Mr. Buckley said that he had, and all that she said was, perhaps you may be required to attend at this enquiry." Thomas Tobin, publican, sworn on the part of Morrissy Deposed that he lived in Blackpool, Dungarvan knew Mr.

Shine and Mr. Morrissy remembers the 28th of August last saw Mr. Shine in his public house about seven o'clock in the evening in company with a young man named Mockler; they took one bottle of ale each and remained about twenty minutes. Mr. O'Brien Did Mr.

Shine appear to you on that evening drunk? Mr. Tobin He did not appear to me to be drunk heard him speak and considered him to have taken nothing nothing previous to his coming into his house. Mr. O'Brien After his taking the bottle of ale or porter, did you consider him under the influence of drink, or stupidly drunk as stated in Morrissy's charge Mr. Tobin He was not drunk, and if he were I could not but take notice of him.

Mr. O'Brien Did you ask Morrissy for Gad's sake to bring him home" as stated in his letter? Mr. Tobin: I don't recollect having said so. Mr. O'Brien: Did Mrs.

Tobin ask him for God's sake to bring him home Mr. Tobin I did not hear her say so, and I think it's not true to the best of his knowledge, he had no conversation with Mr. Morrissy in reference to his taking the master home that evening. Mr. Hudson Now, Mr.

Tobin, are you in a position to swear that you did not ask Monissy "for God's sake to take Mr. Shins home?" Mr. Tobin I don't recollect ever having asked him to do so. Mr. Hudson Was the master capable of walking to the workhouse on that evening.

Mr. Tobin He was, sir. Mr. M'Guire: Was Mr. Shine leahing on the arm of Mr.

Mrs. Nntley, sworn, deposed that she was in the habit of buying vegetables at the workhouse knew the master and Mr. Morrissy remembers the 20th.

July last stated to Mr. Morrissy that she saw the master returning from town to the workhouse stupidly drunk, and that Johanna Mahony was in company with him that evening between six and seven o'clock was sitting at the gate waiting for him he had his arm in Johanna Mahony's leaning on her, and Mrs. Morrissy, the porter, and some of the paupers were there at the time.

IO THE IP.Isn FARMERS, AND FARMING INTERESTS GENERALLY. My Louds and Gentlemen, After thirty years of the most unprecedented patronage at your hands, it w.ll become me to suggest anything: conducive to your interests within 1 he bounds of my knowledge. From the continual wet of tho two last and the recent floods, destroying immense quantities of bay, there is every necessity for practically a looting the maxim, stitch in time saves nine." As large quantities of hay are still to be gatheied in from the fields, 1 would respectfully submit, that to put it together without salt is tantamount to creating dry and red murrain in tiie spring. If you have old hay, mix the old and new well, shaken tliroudi each other with salt plentifully strewu amongst it if yon have fine, fresh straw, mix it with the hay in the same way and if any of my kind friends who till, and employ the moveable thrashing machine, happen to have larae quantities i t' straw, 1 would remind tliem that a good rick 'ot sound straw, well salted and carefully pat together, is as good, if not letter, for stall-feeding purposes with green crops than any hay.

1 would add one more word of advice husband your provender in the early season; for a severe winter would render good hay as high iujpricu as it has been for ears past. June-tenths of the hay coming to the Dublin market is more like bleached flax thau preen hay. In bulk, of old and new hay, there is a fair supply in the midland counties; hut the general quality is not only useless, hut poisonous, if umnixed with salt, straw, or other Sound material. Even the bulk is seriously affected on all the low lands adjoining the Shannon, the Sack, the Soir, and other leading rivers ami their tributaries. Now is the time to provide for frosty and snowy weather.

An important decision, as to the right to collect sea-weed on the sea shore, lias just been delivered at Cahirciveen quarter sessions. The plaintiff in the case was a farmer named Daniel Feuton the defendant was John Reiliy, aii agent or bailiff to the Marquis of Lans-dow ne. The case excited very considerable local interest, and the decision arrived at is ot importance to all fanners dwelling on or near the sea-coast.

It appears that (he wind blows great quantities of floating sea-weed into Ballinskelligs Bay. These floating weeds are valuable manure, and for generations the neighbouring farmers have collected them, but latterly the Marquis has attempted to prevent mem. ilie defendant knew tl.e law. lie was quite aware that if the sea-weed rested on the shore, or became embedded in the rocks, he dared not touch it. He adopted the curious expedient of backing his cart into the tide at extreme low water; there he and his assistants, proceeding up to their waists into the sea, collected the weeds as they floated, with long rakes, and placed them in his cart.

His cart was full, and he was preparing to drive home, when John Reilly and his assistants overturned the cart, and threw the weeds into the sea. It was iiuininallv to recover the value of the weeds four shilings that the action was brought.

It is needful to say, further, that Episcopalians, to a large extent, take up the causeof education for selfish and sectarian ends. If not, what other construction can he put upon the fact that attendance at church on Sundays is made the condition on which instruction is imparted in the week, and that the child of the Dissenter must attend the Sunday-school of the Church, instead of the Chapel, and lose even the help of charity, excapt at the price of conformity The Liberator.
