FOURTH EDITION. TIIE FENIAN TRIALS AT THE OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) (13,forc Lord CAW Justice Cockburn and Baron Breutiocil.) The Attorney-General resumed his reply on behalf of the c rown this morning. He unberitatingly asserted that the e ridence which had been adduced for the defence was false, soil that it was suggested by Barrett in the letter which he wrote during his ince:oar/tier% in Millbenk. He dwelt upon the fact that Barrett had not produced his employes or t h e person with whom he lodged, adding that the mw u pon whose testimony counsel for the de fence had mainly relied was the editor of • se ditious paper. Referring to M'Nulty's evidence, according to which Barrett was in Glasgow an the 12th, 3,,th, and 14th of December, he argued that certain state menu made by that individual to Captain M'Oall, and in cou rt during the present trial, surrounded his story with improbability. M'Nalty told them that up to 2 o'clock eh the Saturday after the explosion he had not heard of it . but could they credit each a statement when they remora. hired that Glasgow teemed with Fenian sympathisers, who must have known all about the explosion soon after it had taken piece I Wllulty was visited by Captain Weill before he had heard of Barrett's letter, and the statements b. then made conclusively showed that the shoe transac tion referred to by the prisoner never took place. 31'Nulty told Captain PATO he had first heard of the Clerkenwell explosion from O'Neill, whereas be stated in court he had hart heard of it when Barrett sent out for the evening paper and read the account of it. M'Nulty now tried to explain that the substitution of the word " buttoning" for " bottoming", as applied to Barrett's shoes, accounted for the discrepancies in his story, but there was no doubt that his answers to Captain M'Call, before Barrett suggested the alibi, should be relied upon in preference to these which be subsequently gave. Dealing with the second pert :nil the alibi supported by M'Manus, Burgoyne, and all'orry, the Attorney-General proceeded to remark that the latter individual had degraded journalism by elevating the Manchester murderers to hence and martyrs. When such articles as those which M'Corry bad written on the subject of the executions at Manchester was read by the catholic Irish of Scotland, no one should be surprised to tad that portion of the community disaffected subjects her Majesty. Adverting to Barrett's letter to M•Manus, he observed it was an extraordinary circumstance that none of the witnesses knew Barrett's k i l i per,s, and that Barrett said nothing in his letter about the meeting held at the Bell Hotel on the evening of the I.:th of December. They were told that the priaoner was ,teve lore, but why were hie employers or some persons onploytd cit the quays at Glasgow not produced to prove shat be was doing at the time of the explosion! Mull tny had sworn that Barrett bad come from Glasgow Ls.iat in Barke's escape. How could Mullen, have . .n.l that out if he had not known that Barrett and ,i...tin Murphy really intended to carry out the •,.1 me for Birke's release!

Timed him to go hums and sisepferaie leser,audetteewards remarked, when told that Desmond wee ln dearer of week "It serves him well right He is w mss, Rhe would not have let his wit* know as much as he knew him self." With regard to Wm. Desmond, Vaughan stated that, on meeting him outside Kavanagh's public-house, he told him detectives were yakking his house, and that he had better " hook it." Whereupon he was stated to have said, " Oh, what can I do, Jailor I have no momiy." If that were true it showed a belief on the part of William Desmond in the expediency of making himself scarce. William Desmond was not identified, or at least satisfactorily identified, as having been at Clarkenwell. The witnesses Al em and Bird said he was like one of the men, but they would not swear positively to his identity. The girl Martha Kompaley and her I brother dad not recognise him as having been at Mrs. Martin's, and the evidence as to his identity given by the women residing at Pulteney-court should be looked upon with very great doubt, inasmuch as it had been shown that they failed to identify him at Mlllhank, and subsequently at Bow-street, and that it was only after eon- Terming together and with the police that they fixed upon • Brigliah, according to Mullany, was present at the meetings held in the American Stores and in Castle-market, and several witnesses spoke to his having been at Mrs. Martin's. Mrs. Smothers, the landlady of the Bell besrshop , near the House of Deten tion, swore that be was like one of the men who bad been in her house, and Stratton, the carman, positively mid that he seer biro go in and out of the Bell several times on the day of the explosion. Clifford, one of thewarders, said be believed English was one of the men he had seen drawing the truck. Then so fax as Timothy Desmond was concerned, they bad the evidence of Worth, the warder, who deposed to having seen him in Corporation-lane on the day of the explosion, and Gold smith, another warder, who swore be saw him with Allen and Ann Justice. C orroborative evidence as to Timothy Desmond being near the House of Detention was given by a policeman who was en duty in plain clothes outside the prison. But the most important testimony on this point, and which he (the Lord Chief Justice) was boned to tell them was most favourable to the prisoner, was given by Inspector Thomson. That officer told them that he raw Timothy Desmond near the prison when he went there at a quarter past 3 on the day of the explosion, and that he also saw him on his leaving, but he added be believed that from the fact that Timothy Desmond was drunk and that he was • good distance from where the explosion took place, it would have been impossible for Desmond to have reached the barrel before it exploded. Unitise they were satisfied that he was at the prison aiding and abetting, they should give an acquittal in his use. Coming to the ease against Barrett, the Lord Chief Justice said they had had evidence that Barrett was at Mullany's house, and that he dined there • few times. The lad Morris, who had not voluntarily given his services to the crown, incriminated his master, end in doing so ac cidentally included Barrett. In referring to this part of the case, he could not account for the non-pro duction of Mrs. Mullany, who was stated to have been in the back parlour on the evening of the 13th, and to have placed in a bundle the clothes which Barrett or Jackson found it inexpedient to wear. He felt bound to say that Mrs. Mullany could have given most important evi dence, and he was surprised the Attorney-General had not thought proper to put her into the witness box. He likewise felt obliged to comment upon the absence of Mrs. Martin, of Pulteney-court, with whom Barrett was alleged to have walked, and who could hays given an exact description of his personal appearance. With regard to the evidence of Bird the dairyman, be must say that it contained some material discrepaacies. At the House of Detention he first identified O'Neill ea the man who fired the barrel, and he afterwards fixed upon Barrett, and in his testimony on thispoint he contradicted himself by first say ing that he turned Barrett round, and afterwards denying ho had done so. Then at Bow-street he said in the coursed his examination that Wm. Desmond was like the man. They might believe that Bird was a perfectly sincere witness, but he had vacillated to such an extent that his testimony was open to serious suspicion. He had also admitted that when he was taken to the House of Detention to identify Timothy Desmond he said be could not identify any of the men. Looking at the whole of the evidence relating to what took place at Clerkenwell they would find that in itself it was not satisfactory. If Mullany's evidence was to be believed, Barrett was the man who fired the barrel, but that evidence required corroboration, which was supplied by the boy Morris, who swore that Barrett washed his neck in Mullany's beck-room on the eveniug of theexplcaion, and by the woman Keppel,whowsui acquainted with his perwmal appeeranoe, and who told them that he had shaven off his whiskers. If the case had rested there they should have been under the painful necessity of at once concluding that Barrett was the wan who fired the fuse. But then the defence stepped in and supplied one of the most extraordinary cases of alibi he had ever known, and one which led them to the belief that the witnesses for the prosecution hel either been labouring under some hallucination or that one of the wickedest attempts to destroy the life of • human being that had ever been made had been perpetrated them. If the evidence for the defence was to he believed, the fact that Barrett could have been In London on the 13th of December was physically impossible. They should carefully consider and see whether the alibi was not • fabrication. It was possible that Barrett might have had boots repaired by M'Nulty, that the other two men might have done the work, that Barrett might have read an account of the Clerkonwell explosion to them, but that the whole transaction might have occurred a week later. In that case the statement of the men that they beard the details for the first time would be extremely improbable, and it might be there fore that truth and falsehood were strangely ll:arming:ed. Then 31'Nulty's statements to Captain M'Call, and his ac counting for the discrepancies between them and thaw which he subsequently made by the use of the word " buttoning " instead of " bottoming," re quired the most serious and careful considera tion from them. They should solemnly and seriously consider whether the entire evidence for the defence was not falsely set up to save the life of Barrett, or that the dates of the meeting at the Bell Hotel in Glasgow, and of the occurrence in M'Nuity's work-room, had not been in accurately fixed. 'They had two sets of evidence to deal with, and the whole case demanded the gravest considera tion at their hands. It was just possible that the Glasgow witnesses were speaking to one man and the London witnesses to nether, or that two men concerned in the Fenian movement were so mush alike that some persons would rind it impossible to dis tinguish one from the other. In conclusion he earnestly and solemnly prayed them not to permit their just indig nation at the awful crime which was the subject of inquiry to sway them from the paths they ought to pursue in the administration of justice, or to depart from those sacred principles according to which justice should be meted out. The jury then (ten minutes to 4) retired to consider their verdict. MUTT 000iT. (Bdcrs Vies-Churait G(ffsat) LlOll e. ZOOM The hearing of this OWN WY resninsd at 111 &do*. Yr.

In conclusion he earnestly urged them the case their best and most serious consideration, . Ito convict the prisoners should they be of opinion th►t th, C.O. for the crown had been satisfactorily established k the evidence. Mr. Baker Greene called the attention of their lord •. I, to the fact that Barrett was oat of work in December I that he was therefore unable to adduce the evidence ha employer. The Lord Chief Justice then (12 o'clock) oomntenced the ••imcning up. He said it was unnecessary for him to •ppre” on the jury the solemn and sacred nature of I s• duty they had to perform, because be felt oonvinoed that re+ twelve men ever paid greater attention to a ease ..u.l with a stronger determination to do justice than the arymen now sitting in the box. He then proceeded to plain the law of the case, and remarked that en opinion prevailed among certain persons that there was harshness in a law which imputed wilful murder to persons who en :..ged in an act in which there was no definite or deliberate otention to destroy human life. He should, however, ...mind them that they were there not to make but to mister the law. If a man engaged in an act with a .sledge or a belief that life would be, or was likely ••• be, sacrifioed, that sou beyond doubt murder ',ding to the law of England, and probably 'wording • ny other law. Adverting to the testimony of the ap r Mullany, he hoped that from this and other ex persons connected with treasonable practices would that their greatest danger was to be eapeeted from with whom they were most intimately associated. kny's evidence having shown them the plot prepared. ; urpoie defined, and the means provided, they should • ;•cd to consider the corroborative testimony of peo.leot witnessm.

Mullany's • 1. nc. , with regard to the purchase of powder had also , corroborated by the statement of the carman by it was delivered. The conduct of Burke, too, inside • call of the prison, on the 12th December, which was ' .147 fined for the explosion, bore ont Mullany's testi. • is to his cognisance of she steps which were being oatddetoeffeethisrescue.

Vaughan continued the story, and in referring to a individual, who he should tell them was really no ac. .mplice, he should warn them not to accept his evidence ithout the utmost caution, and that it should be weighed with the meet scrupulous care. Vaughan in coming !orward had not been prompted by any serum of justice, •tt by a sordid desire to get the reward which had •..•n offered. He was acquainted with the scheme nd wished it success. His account of the conversation :ach took place betweau Timothy Desmond and .11.41 f was involved is doubt, and the statement was put into Desmond's mouth as to their having . told by Ann Justice of the time at which the pri , ..rs were exercimed, was rendered improbable by the • that that woman was at the prison for the first time 'he 13th of December and after the hoer of exercise hetome known. Referring to the event, which took _ _ outside the House of Detention on the 12th sod 1 .. f December, the Lord Chief Justice quoted the id, uce of Henry Bird, the dairyman, who Barrett as being the man who fired and Timothy Desmond as one of the men whom 'en drawing the truck.

The ninth ordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held at noon. at the offioea, 10, Clernent'ir lane, Lombard-street, Mr. DANIEL atm:genie in the chair. The report appeared in the Eppel, on the 22nd instant. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, observed that the directors did not feel in a Position to recommend an increase of dividend ; but, cue. sidering the severe commercial crisis which had occurred and the decrease in the value of staple commodities, the result wsanot surprising. The prospects were satisfactorily expressed se regarded the price of wool and the gold dis coveries. lit the six months ending in December no lees than 71 new accounts were opened in the colony. He thinned an extract from a letter from the manager is the palmy, Mr. Stewart. in which mention hes been made of the growing confidence of the public there. The circulation of the bank amounted to The liabilities on deposit and current 'mount showed an increase of 40,000/. though large amounts bad been withdrawn for investment, and the managerhad ref mod deposits on asoountof the rate of intend required. The preliminary expenses acoour.t was now ex tinguished. By the articles of asseciatioe they were allowed twenty years to defray it, but it had been got rid of within five years from the establishment of the bank. Speaking of the suggested reduction of the liability on the shares, he (the shairmaa) expressed regret that parlament had not dealt effectively with that qumr.n and said it had been found impracoaable in that bank to 'reduce the liability. The board had thought of a plan of reconstruction. The manager, Mr. Stewart, we. against its adoption, but had been invited by the board to coma to England for the purpose of misting the directors in dealing with the matter. Mr. HODGKIN inquired what amount of bills were over due, and complained of the heavy cost of the premises in Clement'e-lane. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, declined to state, on the wand that it was not desirable for the interest of the bank, the pprrcime amount of the overdue bills, adding that it was eonasaezansy below the sum mentioned at the last meeting, via., 110,0001. The report was adopted unanimously, and a dividend at the rate of 4 ate per annum was declared. Mr. G. C. Frames aid Mr. 1). Mackenzie, the retiring director, were both re-elested unanimously. Mr. SWINTON /110yed, and Mr. COLVIN seconded, the election of Mr. 0. IL Mall as a &rooter. The CHAIRMAN opposed Mr. Melt on the round that, being an African merchant, bin election cou ld not be ap. proved by other gentlemen in the same position, who did not desire their affairs to be known. On a show of beads the proposition was rejected, the numbers beim 12 for, mid 17 snidest. The proceedings termisated with thanks to Mr. Stewart and the other mangers, and to the directors. confirmed the probability that Mrs. Lyon% account d the matter was true. It was perfectly immaterial whether the letter were written from copies or net, if whether dictated by Home, and perfectly immaterial Home inspired them whilst in a state of trance, if his eyes were all the time wide open to his own interest. Proceed ing to comment on the conduct of Mr. Wilkinson, the learned counsel said that whilst neither expressing nor desiring to insinuate any remark derogatosy to Mr. Wil kinson's homer, he thought be should make good I the view that Mrs. Lyon's friends bed good grounds far feeling the gravest dimatidectime with his conduct. Mr. Willdneen was a friend of Mr. Home ' and a believer in his supernatural powers. In his 1 1 answer he said that Home had been, he believed, all his life subject to the occesionsl occurrence el posaliar phew ' mean in his presence, and that suck phenomena bad been carefully observed under conditions when anything like fraud or contrives*e were impornible. He adds. "My own views on this subject (biology and metaphysics) are probably unimportant ; but as charges and ineinuatimis an made against me, and the subject of spiritualism is so misunderstood by the public, I have the right to say that, having had my attention drawn to certain remarkable occurrences about eighteen yams ago in the home of a relative, and which 561111111151 i for nearly twelve years, I have since that time occupied a portion of my leisure in inquiring into the subject. . . I have formed and constantly expressed the *aims that it was wrong to believe in, or sat upon what might ap pear to be cosunitaisations from the unarm, on their own evidence merely. . . I have frequently referred to the pewees in the Old Testament in which it is laid that God sent • lying spirit. and to the directions given us in the New Testament to try or test the spirits. I have permed the inquiry under great misrepresentations and obloquy, and I intend to continue it se long as I can, and I believe that the subjects of spiritual visions, trances, ecstasies, prophecies, angelic protection, and diabolic pos sessioe, anciently recorded, have already had light thrown upon them, and will have mush more. . The plaintiff told me that she was, and I am infor med and believe that she still is greatly interested in this inquiry. . . I'. The plaintiff told me that she was subject to supernatural occurrences herself. . . ." Now, not to mention that say other person in Mr. Wilkinson's position would bare said to Mrs. Lyon, " Is not the whole of this proceeding an imposture and a fraud?" where was the mammy sad peeper protection that ought to have been thrown around Mrs. Lyons by her profeisional adviser? Here was • man accustomed to see instances of undue influence and weakness in almost all the affairs of life, and wham duty it was to protect his client' from the consequences. Did he ever ask her whether her bounty was in any way con nected with spiritualism, or whether any spiritual pheeo mena had taken place in her presence ? What did it matter whether Mr. Wilkinson was unwilling or unable to perceive the improper is/Induce to which Mrs. Lyon was exposed, if he did not in feat give her those warnings and those cautions which her situation so eminently-required Passing to the deed poll of confomiation, Mr. Deice pointed out that the statement contained in it that the gift bad been made without the " inteifecence "of Home, had been proved to be untrue. How could it possibly be said that these gifts were made without Home's influence, control, or interference? On the occasion of the execution of the former of the two deeds Home himself was present. Why were there recitals introduced? Plainly, with • view to the manufacture of evidence, whenever the occasion should arise for these transactions to be disputed. Ths next point was whether the fact of the undue influence bad been substantiated ; and here be would repeat that it was unnecessary to prove that Home suggested the delusion if he found it existing in the plaintiff's mind, and made an improper use of it. The learned counsel went through the evidence and argued that the whole chain of circum stances pointed one way—namely, that the defendant, having discovered the peculiar weakness of the petitioner's mind, arising from her exaggerated love for her husband, knew how to touch the chord, and availed himself of the opportunity to enrich himself. Was it • trivial circum stance that in the doggerel moved to be in the defendant's handwriting, beginoing • Shining, shimmering, golden hair—" an allusion was intended to the vision of the golden-haired boy? The look could not be opened till the boy came mysteriously out of the bookcase. What did that signify ? A Daniel was found to interpret the dream ; and when the lock was opened, Mrs. Lyon's treasure was gone. The whole of the exigencies of the cases which had been cited in Mr. James's opening had been satisfied in this instance ; and in allusion to the remarks of Sir James Wilde in the ex traordinary case of "Smith v. Tebbutt," it was contended that the difference between night and day was not greater than the state of Mrs. Lyon's mind when under the influence of the supposed communication with her hus band's spirit, and when she was not under such influence. This subject wee not confined to English law, but was matter of universal jurisprudence ' • and in • remarkable ease in France, reported in the first volume of the Reports of D'Aguesseau, where an old lady was induoed to leave her money to • convent, under the eupponid directions of phantoms of her deceased husband's spirit, which were made to Ram before- her eyes, the dispo sitions were set aside, and her money restored. In conclusion, he called upon his Honour to take a similar view of the case, and to visit the defendant Home with the just consequences of his hypocrisy and (mud. He was followed on the seine side by Mr. Fischer, who commented upon various parts of the evi dence, proving the superstitions tendency of the plaintiff's mind; as shown upon several occasions. As to the leading theory of the defence, if the plaintiff's advanced age and hitherto blameless life were not sufficient to shield her from such an imputation, was it credible that a lady entertaining an amorous passion for a man would have addreeeed him as her son, and have signed herself "your affectionate mother " ? The sugges tion was perfectly mantra's. On the question of the communication with the husband's spirit, it was the common ease that some phenomena were exhibited. Now them must either have emanated from the spirit, or must have been contrived either by the -plaintiff or by the defendant. He asked what possible motive could the plaintiff have had in devising or seeking for a spiritual sanction to do that which she was at perfect liberty to do of her own free will, without the suggestion of a spirit, or of anybody whomsoever? (The learned counsel's address was not concluded when our report left.] POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) CLIMIEF.NWELL TO OWEVIS OP SUPPOSED STOLID( PROPERTY.
