CONNOLY and another The accused, two decent looking girls, were indicted for trespassing on the demesne of Kilmore Palace, and gathering some rotten sticks there. Mr. SALVAGE said they had not been warned before, nor had they broken the fences. There were both fined 6d. each, with costs. MR. SALVAGE--The Bishop merely wants to give a public warning, so I will pay for them the fine and costs.

There was nothing of interest during the day. _______________________________________________________________ DEATHS January 27, at the residence of his father in Curfeybone, near Belturbet, James GLEESON, Esq., aged 27 years.
