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. =============================================================================================== CO.

The Right Hon. and Most Rev. Lord John George de la Poer BERESFORD, died on Friday evening at Woburn Abbey, in the county Down, the seat of his relative, George Danbur, Esq. The deceased was third son of the first Marquis of Waterford, and was born at Tyrone House, in Dublin, on the 22nd of November, 1773. He was educated at Eton, and afterwards at Christ Church, Oxford. On the 2nd of April, 1795, he was admitted to the order of deacon at St. Kevin's Church, Dublin, by William, Archbishop of Tuam; and priest by the same prelate in the same church, on the 17th December, 1797.
