Great preparations are being makes for their defence,

the trial is looked on with u much anxiety as that
of the trials at the last special commission. An

The Cork ominer makes *bitter att,ck on Mr.
Justice Fitagerald hr his conduct at the Specia Com-
mission. It says that at a Special Cuitimiasion " every
man arraigned is pretty nearly u a matter of certainty
strung up' that it ia a sort of execution of justice red-
handed —a process as near lynching as is known to the
form of our law ; that the aspect of the Connuisainn
was rendered more susphious by the selection of the
senior judge ; that he delivered to the grand jury an
" inflammatory har,ngue," and made an earnest appeal
to them to support the Whig Government, which is no
reason that three porsons should be hanged ; that lie
invoked an appeal, which is addreaseil to the ROIMUI
Catholic biships, whom he is fond of rebuking ; that
!Alit, will" bOit W.. II in the Ilitglah papers. and may
iswaihly obtain for him a compliment in The Times.
That is solo...thing. Bit it may do more ;it may cause
people to mistake him for a Protestant." On the
other hand, the Morning News, the Dublin Ultratnon-
tone organ, apeaks in terins of api royal of the judge
and the law officers of the Crown in connexion with
