ENNISKILLEN ASSIZES.
Enniskillen, July 23.
   On Monday the Honourable Baron M'Clelland and the Hon. Justice Mayne, the going justices of Assize for the North West Circuit, arrived in this town. About two o'clock the former opened his Commission in the Crown Court, when the Grand Jury were sworn.
   His Lordship addressed the Grand Jury, congratulating them on the peaceable appearance of the country, few charges of considerable importance appearing on the calender [sic], and only one or two of them committed since last Assizes.--He then adverted to the state of the jail, noticing the death of the late Catholic Chaplain, and requiring them to appoint a fit person to the discharge of that office. With respect to the mode of accounting for money presented for public works, his Lordship remarked, that the greatest attention of the Grand Jury was required on this subject, and that no accounting affidavit should pass in future unless the name of each man employed and the days of the month and week, were inserted in the account of the expenditure, and so of the proprietor of each house. When the work was executed by the undertakers, a specific account must also be kept, and those undertakers be bound to keep in repair for one year such part of the roads as they may be employed to make.
   In the Civil Court there was very little but fines, and none of the least importance. The Crown Court was principally occupied with trials for offences arising out of private distillation, the source of all the evils in this country. Mr. Brett and Mr. Delany, Revenue Officers, and Henry Benson, whose apprehension was noticed in the Erne Packet of the 28th May were tried for the circumstances therein stated, namely the murder (as it has been termed) of Patrick O'Donnel, the unfortunate man whose life was lost in conveying illicit spirits to the town. The principal evidence produced on the part of the prosecution was Archibald Allingham the owner of the spirits, who had first sworn positive examinations against the prisoner, but afterwards confessed that he did not believe Mr. Delany to be of the party. Throughout the trial the prosecutor's prevarication amounted to nothing short of actual perjury, and the prisoners were of course deservedly acquitted. In his charge to the Jury the learned Judge animadverted in the most pointed terms on the profligacy and mischief at- [Remainder of article illegible: newspage torn.]

Littlehales (by order of the Lord Lieutenant) stating, that the ten men whose names are hereunto annexed, shall be dismissed the corps--" with every possible mark of his Excellency's disapprobation, for their very culpable and unmilitary conduct.

======================

An outrage of a most disgraceful nature...
was committed on the night of the 19th of June
at West Churchtown, near Killorglin, county
Kerry. A quantity of stones, lime, mortar,...
collected there for the purpose of building...
church, were scattered and destroyed, and a ...
tice posted on the hall door of Robert Blen--
hassett, of Churchtown, Esq. under whose auspi...
the building of the church was to have been co...
ducted, threatening to burn his house, if he...
relinquish his intentions. A few nights...
fore, the house of Daniel Moriarty, a mason, em-
ployed in building the Church, was broken...
by a party of lawless ruffians, who swore Mori...
ty not to continue in the employment, under p...
nalty of his life. Much praise is due to Sir Ro...
land Blennerhasset, of Blenerville, for his laudab...
and persevering exertions in procuring an off..
of rewards for the discovery of the villains co...
cerned in these outrages ; and we sincerely hop...
from the large amount of the reward offered (b...
tween £500 and £600), that some of the par...
will be induced to discover who his ruffianly a...
sociates were.--Kerry E. P.
