I Cross-examined by Mr. Ernest Jones—Witness had not There were other indictments charging them with intent a warrant for Burke's arrest when he took him into mot to levy war against the Queen, Ito. . tody. The case for the crown was conducted by the Attorney- General, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Giffard, Q.C., Mr. Poland, and Mr. Archibald. Mr. Ernzst dotes, Mr. McDonald, and Mr. De Tracey! Gould, of the American bar, appeared for Burke ; Mr.. F. H. Lewis for Casey ; and Mr. Pater for Shaw. Mr. Ernest Jones, addreasing thzir lordships, said that the prisoner Burke was an alien, and claimed to be tried by a jury de ntedietate The Attorney-General said that Burke was an man, and hat become a naturalised subject to America. That being the case, he contended he was not an alien in the sense referred to by Mr. Jones, end therefore not entitled to be tried by a jury de medietate Mr. Jones argued that Bunke was an alien, adding that he had passports which were only given to a natural born 'dime of the United States. Mr. Baron Bramwell said the doubt he entertained in the matter was whether the word alien did not mean natural born. After some conversation between the court and counsel, Mr. Baron Bramwell said they would receive the sug gestion that Burke was an alien, but they wished Mr. Jones to know that they did so on the footing that Burke was not a natural born subject of America. The jury having been sworn. Mr. Jones produced passports relating to Berke, which, he said, were only given to natural born citizens of the United States. Robert De Tracey Gould being examined said he was a member of the American bar. The passport (produced) bears the signature of Charles Francis Adams, Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States in England. The Attorney-General disputed the genuineness of the document, asserting that there was no reliable evidence to warrant him in acceding to its reception. Mr. Ernest Jones said he should produce an Act of Con gress to show that the most severe penalties were inflicted upon any persons who, not being natural-born subjects of America, obtained a false passport similar to that produced. He was prepared to prove that such a passport wee never given to anybody but a natural born citizen of the United tit,tes, Led by Mr. F. A. Lewis—Witness could not say that Mr. Rpm& said in. open court that Casey was ?dullady. Witness had made inquiries at the Great Northern Railway, and found that Casey had been in their employ. Had not discovered that he was lodging with his mother in Rupert-street. Witnen understood Casey to sax at Bow-street that ha lodged with Burke. Casey, poTo nog to the room in which Burke was, said, " I've been lodging with my friend." Benjamin Foreman, police-onistable, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. The court here adjourned for a short time. Upon its re-assembling, John Joseph Corydon was then examined, and after identifying the prisoner Burke proceeded to state the eon flexion which James Stephens and Col. Kelly had with the Fenian movement. In the subsequent part of his evidence he aad that after Steph ens' arrest be in company with other American officers went to LiverpooL Several meetings were held there, and lie saw Burke present at them. " Circles" were formed, and money was collected fee the benefit of the organisation. Burke was " told off," for the buying of arms, and Mullady (Shaw) told witness he had been appointed to assist Burke. He saw them in lei., and Burke told him he had come from America with James Stephens and seven others. Fenian meetings were held in Liverpool in the early pert of BC', at which Burke and klulledy were present. All the American officers then in Liverpool—a) in all—also attended. Burke represented that he had been sent by Stephens to know whether the American officers in Liverpool were aatiafied to abide be his decision or that of the London Directory," which was self-constituted. Witness also attended other meetings, and amongst them the one at which the attack on Chester Castle was finally settled. Captain M'Afferty wbo waste lead the attack was there, and nearly all the American officers in Liverpool including Dfullady. Burke was present at meetings at which the attack was discussed, hat not at that at which it was finally decided upon. It was arranged that about 2,500 men from Liverpool, Manchester, and Sheffield should take part in the attack, and that after the arms had been taken from the castle they were Ito be planed on Nerd the Holyhead mail steamer, which was to be taken by force, and landed at a place decided on. It was also decided that after the attack on Chester Castle, Liverpool and all the large towns were to be destroyed by Greek fire. On the 11th of February, the day fixed for the attack, he saw several men leave by train for Chester. He had given the govern ment information of the scheme on the previous September. About six days after the 11th of February he attended • !fleeting at the Zoological Gardens, in Liverpool. He got 30s. to go to Ireland for the purpose of taking part in the ruing in Ireland. Monody also got 305., and it was arranged that he should go to Drogheda. Cross-examined by Mr. Jones—Barrett was a captain in the Engineers. His colonel was Colonel Dl'Leod Murphy. Witness end Burke received the money for the storage of arms. Witness had been chris tened John Joseph Corydon. His native place I was Ballyheigue, in the county of Kerry. He was not exactly a Homan eatholio—he waa half and half. (Laughter.) Could not tell the number of times be had given evidence. (Laughter.) He bad had nothing from the crown hut his board and clothing. [The trial was proceeding when our report left.l Mr. ht'Donald quoted " Wheaton on International Law," to prove the accuracy of Mr. Jones's allegation. The Attorney-General questioned the admissibility of American law as evidence in the present trial. Baron Bramwell held that the objection of the Attorney- General was valid. The passport was an indirect decla ration of a fret which should be proved in another way. Mr Jones was about to address the court, when Mr. Berea Bramwell stopped the discussion, giving it as his opinion that the decision which his learned brother and himself had given would have been come to under similar circumstances in America. The jury then, under the direction of the court, returned verdict to the effect that Burke was not en alien. Burke, addressing the court. said—l wish to make a statement in relation to the decision which has just now been given in my case. Baron Bramwell—You certainly cannot do so. You are represented by counsel. Ititrke--I wish my counsel to withdraw from the case. I must enter my protest against being tried by a domestic jury, and against the minuet in which the Attorney- General has violated the principles of jurtice by his re. foresee to me during the past week. Baron Bramwell—Then I understand you to wish that your counsel should altogether retire from the case. Burke—Yes, n.y lord. Mr. Ernest Janes—Of course, my lord, I have no option. After a short paaae Mr. Ernest Jones applied to the court for permission to allow the prisoner to consult with his solicitor. Itaion Bramwell readily assented, and Burke then en ....red in conversation with Mr. Merriman. After a lapse of a few minutes, Burke said that, acting under the advice of his solicitor, he wished to retain the services of counsel under protest. Baron Bramwell—We can take no notice of your pro test. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Gifford.) LYON V. NOM This cause was resumed at 10 o'clock.

HALL. - . . This was a demurrer to a plea. The plaintiff, who is M.P. for Stockport, the chairman of the South Eastern Railway Company, and director of the Manchester, Shef field, and Lincolnshire Railway, as well OA of the Greed Trunk of Cicada Railway Company, commenced an action against the defendant for libel, in having uttered, in the presence of certain stockbrokers, the following words : 'You have heard what bas caused the fall—l mean the rumour about the chairman of the South Eastern Railway having failed." And the defondant pleaded a justirication to the declaration the effect that in spea king the words complained of he meant and was understood by the bystanders to mean that there had bean and at the time was a rumour current on the Stock Exchange that the chairman of the South Eastern Railway had failed, but not that the railway had become embarrassed or insolvent ; and that it was true that there was such a rumour current. _ Mr. Beasley appeared in support of the demurrer, and contended that the plea was bad. At the time that the libel was uttered the South Fasters Railway shares were going down in the market, and in the course of conversa tion the defendant made use of the language imputed to him. The defendant did not deny the fact of having dose so and the plaintiff did not impute that the defen dant hid invented the libel, but eontended that ha was squally liable for having repeated the rumour as if he bad invented it.

Westmoreland, and the adjacent parts of Yorkshire. The ploy ground was the place of We diver. sten, and the head master was aocustemed to furnish the oocks, to prairie over the sport, sad to give • little entertainment to the boys and to their palate afterwards.
