INNES, George Mignon, Canadian clergyman, b. in Weymouth, England, 21 Jan., 1826. He passed the' examination for the army at the Sand- hurst military college in 1849, and served until 1861 in the royal Canadian rifles, rising to the grade of captain. He then studied theology, and was ordained deacon in London, Ontario, in 1862, and priest in 1863. He was assistant minister of the cathedral of Quebec in 1863-8, and then of St. Paul's cathedral in London till 1871, when he be- came canon and rector of the cathedral.

INNES, Harry, jurist, b. in Caroline county, Va., in 1752 ; d. in Frankfort, Ky., 20 Sept.. 1816. He was the son of a Scottish Episcopal minister and was educated as a lawyer. In 1776-'7 he was employed by the committee of public safety in Virginia to superintend the working of Chipil's mines, which were an object of solicitude as a source of lead for the Revolutionary army. In 1779 he was appointed by the legislature of Vir- ginia a commissioner to hear and determine claims to unpatented lands in the Abingdon district. He was chosen in 1783 a judge of the supreme court of Virginia for the district of Kentucky, and in 1785 attorney - general for the same district, in which post he continued until 1787, when he was appointed U. S. district judge for Kentucky. When Kentucky was erected into a state in 1792 he declined the office of chief justice. With George Nicholas and John Brown he favored independent action and a separate arrangement with Spain re- specting the navigation of the Mississippi river. The intrigues of Spanish agents to induce the Kentuckians to accept the protection of Spain were repelled by those patriots, who refused tempt- ing bribes. Throughout the crisis Judge Innes retained the confidence of President Washington, and, when his enemies brought accusations against him in 1808, congress refused to institute meas- ures for his impeachment. His daughter became the wife of John J. Crittenden.

He published " Remarkable Dis- play of the Mercy of God in the Conversion of a Family from Infidelity"; "Life of Rev. Will- iam Summers, a Blind" Man" (Baltimore); and " Methodism Explained and Defended " (Philadel- phia, 1856).

IRALA, or IRAOLA, Domingo Martinez de (e-rah'-lah, or e-rah-o'-lah), Spanish soldier, b. in Vergara, Guipuzcoa, in 1486 ; d. in Asuncion, Paraguay, in 1557. He sailed in 1534 in the expe- dition of Pedro de Mendoza to South America, and assisted in the foundation of Buenos Ayres on 2 Feb., 1535. He was soon appointed second in com- mand of the expedition of Ayolas to explore the Parana and Paraguay, which started in 1536, and after founding Asuncion on 15 Aug., ascended the river to 20° south latitude, where Irak was left in charge of the ships while Ayolas started on his un- fortunate expedition to the interior. After the news of Ayolas's death was received, the officers and colonists elected Irala governor, about the middle of 1538. Irala took some wise measures to protect Asuncion, and quelled a general rising of the In- dians. On 15 March, 1542, the newly appointed adelantado, Cabeza de Vaca (q. v.), appeared, and appointed Irala his deputy, but, desiring to keep him absent, sent him on a voyage of exploration to the upper Paraguay, in which he reached 17° north latitude, at the port* of Los Reyes, returning to Asuncion in February, 1543. Cabeza de Vaca had excited the hate of the officers and clergy, and by a revolution on 25 April, 1544, was deposed, impris- oned, and sent to Spain, and Irala for the second time was chosen governor. In 1546 he undertook his third expedition, to discover an overland foute to Peru, and, leaving his vessels again at Los Reyes, set out with about 300 Spaniards and 3,500 Indian allies to the northwest, and at the foot of the An- des he met Spanish-speaking Indians, who belonged to the army of Pedro Anzures. From them he heard of Gonzalo Pizarro's revolution and the tri- umph of President La Gasca, to whom he sent an expedition under Nuflo de Chaves to ask for a con- firmation of his commission. Forced by his sol- diers, he at last retraced his steps, and after extreme hardships, not having found the vessels which he had left at Los Reyes, arrived at Asuncion, having been absent two years, and found the colony in revolution. Diego de Abreu was in command, and refused to surrender the government, but Irala de- feated him, conducting the colony with vigor and wisdom, and obtaining at last from Spain recog- nition of his government. In 1550 he undertook his last personal expedition, which, on account of the privations that were suffered by the army, is known as the " Mala Entrada," or unfortunate in- vasion. He continued to send out expeditions for the consolidation of the Spanish rule, including one in 1554 under Nuflo de Chaves for the conquest of the province of Guayra, and one in 1557 under Melgarejo to consolidate this conquest and found the town of Ontiveros.
