enormous. The two men, Sylvester kngstown and

Joe Po.de, himself in prison for a similar offence, are
also still in Kilmainham Prison. Ile next Commission,
the opening of which is fixed tor the 7th of Jane, is
to be presided over by Mr. Justice Andrews. It is
believed that no conspiracy cases will be tried at
that Commirion, and that the trial of Poole and
the trials of Kingstown and Gibney will be further
postponed. Indeed, it is very doubtful whether Kings-
town mei Gibney will be placed on trial at mill on Ast
charge on which they have been committed. No
special jury panel barn been summoned for the approsch-
big Commisiiion. The Executive are probably well
satialiwi with the result ot the rewnt C munimion, and
