CAVAN OBSERVER JULY 26, 1862

BELTURBET PETTY SESSIONS--SATURDAY

Captain M. PHILLIPS, chairman; other magistrates present--Thomas F.
KNIPE, Esq., and John ROGERS, Esq.

The business before the Court to-day was very limited being only two
cases of summary ejectment of two tenants on the property of Sir St.
George GORME, Bart., brought by John ROGERS, Esq., J.P., agent for
weekly holdings situate in Weaver-row, Belturbet, in both of which
decrees for possession were given.

Henry M'CABE v. John TUITE & Co.

The summons to-day was against Mr. John TUITE and Mr. William C.
TUITE, trading as John TUITE & Co., for 16s, car hire due to the
complainant, and earned in the year 1862.

Mr. S. N. KNIPE, solicitor, appeared for the defendants, and applied
for a postponement in consequence of Mr. John TUITE having left for
England on that morning on business. He stated prior to the summons
being served that he had his arrangements made to leave home.

Mr. M'LEOD objected to the adjournment, and recapitulation of former
statements were made by him. After some consultation the Bench
allowed the case to stand until next Court day, which, on account of
the Assizes will not be held till Saturday, 2nd August.

The Court then adjourned.

ASSIZES INTELLIGENCE

CO. LEITRIM Carrick on Shannon, July 18

CROWN COURT (Before Baron HUGHES)

The Queen v. O'NEILL and Another

In this case the prisoners, consisting of the two O'NEILLs and
another of the name of PINN, were charged with breaking into the
house of Michael O'NEILL, and administering an oath to him that he
would give up a certain holding of land, from which the father of the
prisoners, one Charles O'NEILL, had been recently evicted, and with
an assault upon the prosecutor, by which his life was endangered.

From the evidence of the prosecutor and his wife, it appeared that a
party of six or eight persons on the night of the 29th of April last,
about 10 or 11 o'clock, broke into his house, and knocked down and
beat the old man; he seized a gun, but it did not go off when he
attempted to pull the trigger. He was unable to identify any of them.

Catherine O'NEILL, wife of the prosecutor, stated that when
interrogated they said they were the police; she identified the three
prisoners as being of the party.

The prosecutors admitted that they knew the traversers from their
childhood, and gave a good character of them.

The servant boy in the prosecutor's house swore he knew them
intimately, but could not identify them on the occasion.

The servant girl of the house had previously known them, but could
not identify them.

Mr. MALLEY addressed the jury for the prisoners, and relied upon the
want of identification of the persecutors.

Witnesses were examined who proved that the prisoners were at home on
the night in question.

The jury acquitted the prisoners.

Messrs. WHITE and HARKAN prosecuted. Messrs. CONCANNON and MALLEY
defended the prisoners.
