with blood , and a cotton gown , all of which they found in her house . The . knife , Mr . C . said , resembled that she held to his throat , and with which his fingers were cut , and that the gown and sash'he verily believed were the same Mrs . P . had on her on Tuesday evening . The gown , when the officers took it , was hanging up to dry in the garden . . ¦ ¦ . Neither . Mrs . P . or her Servant said a word in reply to the charge , 22 . Mrs . Phipoe , and Mary Brown , her servant , were again examined before

J . Floud , Esq . at the Public-Office , Bow-street , when Mary Browne made a voluntary confession ofthe whole affair , and . which exactly corroborated the testimony given by Mr . Corn-toy .. Mrs . P . has been since capitally convicted , but sentence is respited for the opinion of the Judges . ' After a trial which lasted from ten o ' clock on Thursday morning , April 22 , till five the next morning , the Rev . William'Jackson was found guilty-of High '

Treason , in the Court of King's Bench , Dublin . He was recommended to inercy by the Jury . Mi - . Cockayne , attorney , of Lyons Inn , Louden , was the principal witness against Jackson . They had lived in habits of intimacy together for many years . Jackson ' s letters , when' in France and elsewhere , passed through Cockayne's hands . Cockayne finding his own safety endangered , made terms ivi . li Mr . Pitt both for indemnity and reward : he continued a spy on Jackson ' s actions , , and ultimately established his guilt . Jackson ' s object was to obtain provisions for

the French from Ireland , and to ' corrupt the minds of the people of that country to invite an invasion . ' On the 30 th at noon Mr . Jackson was brought up to the Court of K _ ing ' . s Bench , where a motion was made by his Counsel in arrest of judgment . During the argument of the lawyers , the wretched prisoner was observed to suffer considerable bodily pain , and in a short time fell down in the dock , where he , almost instantly expired , as has since appeared , in consequence of . poison . The Coroner ' s Inquest sat on the body , and brought in their verdict Suicide . It was afterwards opened by Surgeons Adrienne and Hume , whose opinion was that he died by poison , but of what kind they could not tell .

27 . At Die Sittings at Guildhall , as soon , as Mr . Ming-ay had opened the case of a Plaintiff , and before he had produced any evidence , one of the Jury said , it was one of the clearest cases he had ever heard . The Lord Chief Justice said , ' he was sorry to hear such an observation come from a Juryman . According to the opening of Counsel , every case was a clear case ; but it was not on the speeches of Counsel that the Juries of England were-sworn to decide , but on the evidence that was laid before them . His Lordship added , that he knew the observation was incautiously nudeaxd he hoped never io hear it repeated .

, The above Juryman reminds us of a . Welch Justice ofthe Peace , who would , never hear but one side of the question ; "for v _ hen he heard both , it so ^{) - _ flexed iiim !" CAPTAIN MOLI . OY ' .
