IRELAND.
Judgment was given on Tuesday in the remarkable case of Mary Mat- thews's infant by the full Court of Queen's Bench. The Chief Justice, in delivering his judgment, stated that the Court was unanimous in opinion that Miss Aylward had not given satisfactory answers to the interrogation, and that she was therefore still in contempt. The other members of the Court gave their reasons for concurring in this opinion at considerable length. Mr. Brereton, Q.C., called on the Court to pronounce judgment at once, and to issue an attachment against Miss Aylward. This applica- tion was opposed by counsel on behalf of Miss Aylward, and, after a pro- tracted discussion, the Chief Justice announced that the Court had deter- mined on postponing its final judgment in the case until the first day of next term, until which time Miss Aylward might remain out on bail. She would be required to give as security for her appearance herself in 500/. and two sureties in 2201. each.
