OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.—On Monday, nine wretched Irish haymakers were tried for the murder of John Eales, otherwise Long John, in a brawl at Witnbley, ort,Sunday week. It appeared that there w.ire an Irish party and an English party ; that there had been some drinking, and that Long John was much in liquor ; that there was a sort of engagement, in which the Irish charged the English with their hayforks ; there was also a single combat be- tween Long John and thz prisoner Casey ; Casey did not fight fair, but struck down Long John with a fork, and while he lay senseless on the ground, from which he never rose, returned with a scythe for the avowed purpose of killing him. The Jury found Casey guilty of Manslaughter, and acquitted the other prisoners. A farmer, who had employed most of them for several years, proved that their general demeanour was peaceable, though they often had been insulted.—On Tuesday, the business of the Sessions being ended, the Recorder passed sentence on the various pesoners.
