Edmond Sheehy, James Buxton, and James Farrell, were executed at Clogheen, purfuant to their fentence, for the murder of John Bridge; they feverally delivered to the fheriff declarations, which they had previously prepared and figned, and (as they faid) because they were expected, and to prevent others being made. In these they have denied being any way concerned against the peace of their country, or loyalty to their king; but to judge of thefe declarations let us have recourfe to facts; the Alibi which was attempted by the Revd. Mr. Sheehy, to fupport which, he produced many witneffes, he in his dying declaration denies, by acknowledging the death of Bridge, whom before he would prove to be still living, and it must be obferved, his witnefles fupported the teftimony for the crown; this is known to many, fo will not admit of being controverted. The Alibi attempted by Edmond Sheehy, was fairly overturned by the testimony of Mr. Tennifon, who fupported his evidence with fuch particulars as were moft fatisfactory. We will not pretend to account for fome mens notions of guilt, or the refarves they have to fupport themselves, May, in times of the greatest trial; but it is extraordinary, that they who are fo inno gard to the facts, with which they were cent, as to be without fpot, that is, in re accufed, could not make their innocence appear, before a court, to which they were not precipitately brought, and where they were indulged, with all that could be defired. waited upon his excellency the Lord LieuWed. 7.

Care must be taken are to be placed above that the fkins and hides be not put into the ouze in the tan vatts, untill it be no warmer than the blood of a beast just killed; by which means the leather is nourthed by the ouze, and the tanning expedited more effectually than in the ordinary method of tanning with cold ouze. Care mult likewise be taken not to use an iron pan, which will blacken and harden the leather. The oftener the fresh ouze is applied (as above) with a natural warmth, it impregnates the leather fooner than any tannage made by bark, and expedites the tannage.
