CANXAVlJIlT PIIACTKK.
Diblin, Oct 31.
The Mayo .Egis contains a long reiiort of a
case tried at Petit Sessions Court of Ca.-tlebar,
in which Lord Lucan, and .Mr. St. Clair O'
Malley figured as plaintiff and defendant, in a
manner exceedingly characteristic of Con
naught. Tlie I'eer according to the report
jummnncd Mr. irMailcy before the Worship
iul Bench for pursuing game without license ,
'jut explanation, as Sir Lucius O'Trigger says,
would only spoil the story, so iu iliu words ol
.he reporter.
The case excited extreme intercut, and the
Ctiurt was 'Crowded with the people of the
lown.
There were issued Tour summonses against
the defendant; one rharged Mr. O'.Malley with
having, on tlie '2vM of August last, hunted
with dog and pun over tlie lands of "Slieisno,
in the parish ofTurlongh, not being duly au
thorised ; another with the same offence on the
lands of Dernadiva, on the Q:id ditto; a third
vith the same, on the land erf Tienaiiaveca, on
'lieQQd ditto; and the fourth with the rorne,
on the lands ofSheane, parish of TorhKigh, on
the 22d inst.'"
Mr Barron having arrived at the first of
these cases on the IxxiTt, said, Mr. Duis, do ymi
appear iu this case ?
Mr Davis. What case rs it.
Mr Barton. 1 mean lord Lucan against
Mr (VMalley.
Mr. Davis. I appear tor IrJ Lucan.
Mr Barron. Proceed, thon.
Nr Dav" was ahou', proceeding, when
''I 1m O'Malley, V.., rose and said he
would thank the Chairman U rea4 fir him IIk?
entry on the liooks, rs he was anxious to uce
whether laird laican or Mr. Ormshy was Bet
forth as the complainant in the mat'er.
Mr Barron read the entry on the Iwioks,
stating thecsso was that of the Karl of Lucan
jigainst St. Clair O'Malley, F.sr.
Mr O'Malley. This is a mean and mali
rious precution. and 1 entertain the most ut-
terconlen.pt for it and Urd Lncan, and every
thing emanating from hi.n.
Air Barron raid it would be bctler to pro-
teed quietly with the matter.
Mr O'Malley. I want to know i1 I-nrd Lu-

fer such language as this lie ust;s the word
"mnsl'' because lie knows there arc pciMttis
here to take il down. I call on you to com
mit that miscreant to the dock.
Mr O'.Malley. Your conduct in this twit
ter is ofa piece with everything rlec tniit you
do it is cowardly, blackguard, and ruffianly.
If it were not (or where yon arc I won hi black
en you with this tick until I would break every
bone in your body.
Mr Ilarmn and Mr. Ilrownc rose to interrupt
Mr. O'Malley, who was pmcer-dinf! to make
further oWrvn lions, whilst Mr. Davis called
on tlictn to commit hiti.
Mr IVirrnn. Mr. (VMalley, wc TnTist cer
tainly oblige you to lie silent. The Inngttaire
used by yon cannot lie tolerated in any cistrt of
justice.
Mr (VMalley. lie used the word "miscre

Mr. Barron No I hink you used stronger
expressions to him first.
Mr. O'Miillcy. 1'ut he did ; there are per
sons here w ho took it down. 1 appeal to the
llonch whether he has not done so !
Mr Henry Ilrownc did not hear ford I.noan
use any iiiMiIting expressions to Mr. )'Malloy ;
I liord l.neim merely ealltd for the protection of
the Heneh.
Mr O'.Malley (to Mr. Browne). Do yoti
know the mi'iiiiing of the word "miscreant" iu
Knolish ! Did ymi hear him use that!
Several v ieen Iroui dilli-rent parts of the
xstrt. "He did use it."
Mr Doininick Burk Ird l.ucan certain
ly did use the word "miscreant."
Mr O'.Malley. And it is not because my
ird l.nean is my Lord Lucan that he ought
to be allowed any privilege here more than any
other man.
Mr Davis And I fay, that it it were in
any other Court Mr. O'.Malley used the lan
guage that he has used here, the Magistrates
would cortaoily commifhim.
Mr Barron Vr. 0MaIW, we drill err
tainly insirt that you iy more respect to the

Mr 0Mu!'i'V. I have every respect for the

he silent
Mr O'.Mallev I shall snv no more.
Mr Barren. Proceed, Mr. Da-1, is, with your
case.
Mr O'Malh-y. As they co under a penal
stltute, 1 believe it is necessary that it tloHild
he stated in the suiumons.
Mr Barron having consulted the Magis
trates, announced that a majority of them had
decided that it was rmt necessary that the Act
of Parliament should be mentioned in the sum
mons. Mi. O'MaUey.- Then, I call fr a postpone
ment ot the matter. Although 1 tuny be able
to form a pretty accurate opinion of an Act of
Parliament, I cannot be expected to have the
same tact as a professional man. I gent a car
last night to Swinfurd, fur Mr. O'Donnel, and
he has written to me that he could not leave
his business. Mere is a letter. Mr. O'.Mal
ley handed Mr. O'Donmf letter to Mr. Bar
ron Mr. Barron. Well, Mr. Davis, what it we
postHmo this case 1
Mr. Davis. I cannot consent to it. Mr.
O'.Malley having pursued the course he did,
. deserves no omrtc-y from tis.
Mr. O'.Malley. 1 demand it as a right. I
; would accept no courtesy from laird Lucan.
lird Lucan. No courtesy is due to such a
miscreant.
Mr. O'Mail'ev. You cowardlv poltroon, vou
' know w hen von use that expression, that if you

Much excitement periaded the Court

Mr. O'.Malley immediately proceeded to quit

Mr. Barron called after Mr. O'Malley to re

tllKKKK,
It is doubtful to whom we owe the introduc
tion of this article of luxury into our climes.
I'he plant is a native of that part of Arabia cal
led Yemen, but we find no mention maite ot'it
until the sixteenth century ; and it is believed
that Letmhart Uanwolf, a (iermun pli vvk'Iiiii,
was the first writer who spoke of it, in a work
published iu 1")73, The plant was also descri
bed by Prosper Aljiliinus, in his treatise on L
gyptinn plants, published in l."i!)l and
Pietro della Vellc wrote from Constantinople
iu Kil.'i, that he would teach L'tirupe the man
ner in w hich the Turks made their rahuc. This
spelling was no doubt incorrect ; for, in a pam
phlet, printed at Oxford in 10.')!), in Arabic and
Ktiglish, it is written hauhi or r;'ir. Button
thus speaks of its use: "The Turks have a
drink called cnfTn, so named ofa berry as black
as soot and as bitter, which (hey sip still of, and
sup as warm ashey can suffer. They spend
much time in their cofili-houses, which are
somewhat like our ale-houses and taverns; and
there lli-y sit chattering and drinking, to drive
away tiie tune, and to lie merry together, be
cause they find by experience that kind ot
Urinkso used hclpcth digestion and proeurelh
alacrity.
The first coffee-house opened in 1mdois was
in ltlVJ. A Turkey merchant of the name of
Ldwards having brought with him from the
Levant some coffee and a lareek servant, he al
lowed him to prepare and sell this bevetage ;
when he established a house iu St Michael's
alley, Cornhill, on the epot w here the Virginia
Coffee-house now stands, (iarraway's was the
first coflee-liouso opened after the fire in lWMi.
It appears, however, that coffee was used iu
France in lOllt; and asale ofit was opened
at Marseilles in 1(171.
The introduction of this berry was furiously
npK)sed ; and it appears that iu i's native lurid
il was treated with no less wvcrity, since, in
an Arabian MS in the King of Trance's library,
coffee-houses were suppressed in the Last In
ltiti!' aiiienied a pamphlet against it, entitled"" A
Cupof Cofit-e, or Colleein its colors." In liC'
the following lines were to be loutnl m another
imhlication, "A Broadside airainst ColTee, or the
Marriage of the Turk:"
C.mfnsinn huddles all int or e scene,
loke Noah's ark. the clean aod the unclean :
For now, hIjb! the drench has crdit got,
And he's no gentb man who ilrmks it not.
Then came "The Women's petition against
Collec," w hu h appeared iu Hi? 1, in which we
find the follow ing complaint : "Il made men
as unfruitful as the deserts whence that un
happy Jierry is said to he brought, so much so,
that the offspring of our mighty ancestors wou'd
dw indle into a succession of aps and pigmies;
and on a domestic message, a husband would
slop by the way to drink a couple of cups ot'
colli e." It was, then sold iu convenient penny
worths : hence coffee-houses, where wits, ijuiJ
mint , ami idlers resorted, were called "penny
universities,"
While it hail adversries, coll'oe was not left
rvithemelorp.cnl advocates. Sir Henry Blount,
in his Ot amioii .Stilulix, llKi'.t, thus speaks of
it : "This ciill'ee driuk has caused a great so
briety among all nations. Formerly apprenti
ces, clerks, & c., used to take their morning
draughts in ale, beer, or wine, which often
made them unfit for business. Now they play
the oood fellows iu this wakeful ami civil
drink. The worthy gentleman. Sir James Mud
diford, who indrodueed the practice hereof in
Ijoudoii, deserves much respect of tlie whole
nation."
It appears however, that the jealousy with
which the use of coffee was viewed cenby the
government, trcse more from the nature ot tho
conversations that took place in coflco-hoii-es
during moments of public excitement, than
from the apprehension of any injury that its
consiimation might have caused to the public
lroalth. In the reign of Charles II, "ot!"oc
houses were shut up by a proclamation, issued
in 1(175, as the retailing of oollee "nourished
sedition, spread li1, scandalised great tv
and might therefore be considered a '".,imi,a
nuisance." As a nuisance, it' i,,,,,,. ... ....

Taking into 'consideration all that has lieon
advaiicrsl in regarrl lt the cotu etneliccM tlie.t
may attend the use el'the colloe and tea, Ihey
must be considered as overruled by the moi.t!
res4ilts that linve arisen from the inlroiluction
of these beverages; and a Inte writer has oli
serv .'d, that it h is"led to the most v."udtrlu1
change that ever took place in the diet of civil
ised tuitions a change highly important Uith
in n moral mid physical point of view. These
beverages have the admirable advantage of nf
lordino sliinulous without producing intoxica
tion." Bayuald observes, that the iv-o of tea
has contributed more to the sobriety of the Chi
nese (hull the severesl'!aws,"t(u most cltspient
discourses, ot the best treatises on morality.
The quality and effects ot coffee dill'er accord
ing to the manner in which it is roasted. Hor
nier stales thai when he was at Cairo, there
were only two persons in tlwit preat city w ho
knew how to pr.'pare it to perfection, li lt be
iindi riione, its irtues will no' be imparted.
and its infusion will loid and .mures- the slum-
itch ; it it Ire overdone, its properties will be
destroyed, and it w ill heat the body, and act
as an astringent.
The best coffee is the Moclin, or that w hich
is commonly called Turkey cofiee. It should
lie chosen of a greenish, light, olive hue; the
berries ofa middling size, clean and plump.
The bail effects of coffee miy, in all likeli
hood he attributed both to it. powerful and stim
ulating aroma, and to its pungent acidity. Ac
cording to Cadet, this acid is the gallic; while
(jriudel considers it the kinic, and Tfiiff terms
it the calleic acid. ben strongly heated, it
yieldsa p ro catleic acid, from which may lc
obtained a most pungent vinegar, that has re
cently been thrown iilto trade, but I believe
with little or nosn :cess.
The principle of coffee is the caffciu, disco
vered by Robiquet, iu 1 ""J 1 ; and it is to this
active principle that its beneficial or baneful
effects can be attributed. Hecent experiments
tend to show that it is possessed ot powerful
febrifuge virtues. To obtain this result, raw
coffee has been used. It gives to water green
ish hue, and thus saturated it has been called
critiue coffee, (iiindel has used this jrrepara
tion 111 the treatment of intermittent fevers in
the Russian hospital ol TVrpal ; he also admin
istered the raw cuflee 111 owdcr. In eighty
cases of this fever, scarcely any resisted the
Kjwer of this medicine, given either in decoc

We alluded, a day or two since to the ile- ,
ceptiom practiced by tins celebrated mdividu-
al in ontainitif the prominent counsel who tin- j
dertook his defence. He has truly invents
"a new way to piv lawyr-rs." The fi.llowiiig
are some ol his inique operations 011 the sub- j
j,.ct ; !
When a-'sterj nt Philadelphia he was j
searched, and a check of !-;ltHMI found in his ,
pocket biMik, together witli-aonie money, which
were returned to him. On being committed,
he sent for the Hon. Ceore Al. Ifcillus, tho
great gun of the Ph.ladelphia bur. and solicited
linn to become counsel ti r him, and Im obtain
the aid of .1essrs. Umdull aurl (Mpen, also
eminent lawyers. In a couversi' ir.n with Re
corder Vnux, .Vr. Dallas was 111:011.11 d n- to
the check and bank hilh, and the uelee.ee ,.c-
cm.l.ii'jly acccr".
I. I l.e gentleman did their
u't- r:nost, si, I received the check for their
services, but it was afterwards discovered to
be a for-erv. The i oiins-d f.mnd ihey had been
"come over," and said hut little ulout it. This
waspty to counsel No. 1 .
On being demanded from the Pennsylvania
authorities by the (lovcrnor of New York, lie
brought letters from .1essrs. Dallas and asso
ciates, highly recommending him to .1essrs.
B. F. Butler, J. Proscoti Mall, and It Emmet,
three of our principle lawyers. Edwards, of
cnirse, represented himself to be perfectly in
nocent, as being the bona fide owner of the
Si:!, (MH) found in his trunk, and ns having a-
bundant means besides, and started with giving
the two drafts. Al, UK) each on .1r. Vau.x, as
already mentioned, declaring himself able to
prove an alibi, and that the money would be
restored to him, Arc. Mr. Butler declined :
but .1essrs. Eminett and Hall, with .1r. Price
and .Wr. Evarts, accepted. The counsel went
merrily to work in hi'beha!f, and now a great
joke, .1r. Evarts. one of the most acme
counsel, had exondcd ulmut SjtlfiO-of" his own
ftuids, m procuring the attendance of witness
es, and providing for other expenses. On the
second or third day after the commencement of
the first trial, and whilst the Oity Hall was
crowded to suffocation, by orson9 anxious to
seethe pay Colonel and hear the proceedings,
.1r. E. inquired of Edwards how much money
he had ; to which the latter replied, about
Si'.tXt, and that it was in his pocket book, lock
