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

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.

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.
INSKIP, John Swanell, clergyman, b. in
Huntingdon, England, 10 Aug., 1816 ; d. in Ocean
Grove, N. J., 7 March, 1884. He was brought
by his parents to the United States when five
years old. At the age of sixteen he united with
the Methodist Episcopal church, and three years
later began to preach. He attained distinction
as an orator and conductor of camp-meetings,
and was for some time the editor of the " Chris-
tian Standard." 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.
