THE IRISH STATE TRIALS.

The proceedings in the Queen's Bench on Friday
seemed to be the object of greater interest than before,
many attending doubtless in the hope of hearing a
brilliant preroration by the Attorney-General in
closing his speech. The right hon. and learned gentle-
man, however, rather disappointed his hearers, as he
never once rose to what could fairly be described as a
flight of eloquence, but maintained thmughout his
calm and uninipeasioned manner. Only one d the
traverser,' was present at the sitting of the Court,
namely, Mr. Sexton, M.P., hut most of the others
appeared shortly afterwards. The .\ ttorner•General,
having commenced at five minutes after 11 o'clock,
closed his speech at five minutes past 12. The first
witness called, and the only one who was examined on
Friday, was Mr. Alfred T. Mill, one of Messrs.
Gurney's shorthand staff, who was examined to prove
the speeches made at the various meetings he had
attended. He gave his evidence very clearly and
cooly, reading the various speeches which he was
directed to read, in the first instance from his
manuscript, and later in the day from the print.
In no case were the shorthand notes referred to.
The probable length of the trial was hinted at on the
occasion of Mr. Ma.onogh 'eking that certain letters
which had been read at the meetings should he given
In evidence. Mr. Justice Fitzgerald said that any.
thing showing the general character of the meetings
would be admiasable, but added that if they went on
reading all the speeches the trials would not be over at
Easter, and he should have to consider what arrange-
mentshe would have to make with a view to prsvid.
Ing a substitute at the Spring Assizes. The Court sat
until five o'clock, and at the clone Mr. Justice
Fitzgerald said they would adjourn until the
new year namely, until the first Monday
of 1881. This will afford the traveroers an
opportunity of attending the various Land League
meetings which are to be held on Sunday. The two
chief law paints that were raised during the day were
both decided against the traversens. One was as to
whether the meeting,' and acts subsequent to the filing
of the information should be given in evidence against
them; the other, whether the condemnation at the
Land League meetings of the shouts, of the crowd at
the Conservative meeting in Belfast to shoot and
murder them could be given in evidence in their
favour. There was the usual crowd, and the usual
cheering as the traversers left the court.

THE MURDER OF LORD MOUNTMORRES.

There seems to be little doubt in the minds of the
police that Patrick Kennelly, the man who was
arrested at Wednesbury on Thursday, is, if not the
actual murderer of Lord Mountmorres, then an
accomplice in the outrage with the three men just
arrested at Clonbur, Ireland. The prisoner, who
manifests much uneasiness, continues to assert his
innocence. A letter has been found upon him from
his mother, who lives at Clonbur, in which she states
that "some one has blamed them for allowing him
(prisoner) to leave Ireland." Inspector Cathie, of
Solihull, Birmingham, arrived at Wednesbury and
brought with him a boy who was the chief witness at
the inquest upon the man liateley, who was murdered
at Solinull by being shot a few weeks ago. Kennelly
was placed with several other prisoners, but after
scrutinising each of them closely, the boy failed to
identify any of them as being the man he saw running
away after Gateley was shot. Further in nines,
however, will be made. Meantime ktsnnelly has
been removed to Stafford, at which place an wort of
Irish constabulary arrived, bearing • warrant for the
apprehension of the prisoner upon a charge of
murdering Lord Mountanorres. The prisoner is said
by time police authorities to be without doubt the man
who is mentioned in the warrant, and it is expected
that he will be removed by one of the night mails
from Stafford to Dublin. liennelly's father has also
been arrested at Clonbur as an accomplice in the
murder. A letter from the prisoner to his tither is
In the possession of the Irish constabulary. but its
purport is withheld by them.

meeting of the Board of Guardians held on Tuesday
the following letter was directed to be written to three
sons who had urged in excuse of not helping to main-
tain their father his own lazy and improvident
character—that he had never earned any money for
them, and that their own means and. families also
prevented. This letter thews the fair and just

however, be satisfied should each of the three eons in

Fonewrix.—The members of Courts " Brouncker and
Ashley" met in the large room of the Foresters' Hall on
Thursday evening, and dined together by Levitation of
several friends. The Rev. H. G. Roger., vicar of Crass-
borne, was in the chair, being supported on the right
by Bra. Edwin Adams, and on the left by Chief
Bro. William Coffin. The usual loyal and
Ranger
tombs having been proposed by the Chair-
man, the Secretary (Bro. William Spray) gave a shirt
account of the state of affairs of Court Brouncker. He
said that the Court commenoei the year with 42 mem-
bers and £lO in debt, but through various causes the
numbers were reduced to 26, with x credit balance of
about £6; he wished any member to suggest any means
of improving matters. The Rev. H. G. Rogers
remarked that he had a few words to say as to several
members being frightened at drawbacks which had
occurred through darner in the reduction of the funds.
R. thought a great boon existed in the parish, there
being besides the Foresters' Court an Oddfellows'
Club, where the discontented could enrol themselves,
so that they might not be kit out in the cold. tie
hoped that before another anniversary the society
would at least have made up its looses in numbers, and
regained its financial stability. The evening was

ALLEGED EXTRAORDINARY FASTING.

A remarkable case of fasting is reported from Ipswich
The wife of a jobbing gardener, named Lockwood, it is
stated, has not eaten a pound of ~lid food throughout
this year, and for the last three in•inths has had nothing
huts few drops of weak tea. amounting in quantity to less
than a pint per month. She is reduced to • mere skeleton,
onsble to move her head or • pen h r eyes or mouth, but
with her right arm is abl to 'hi t her bead from one side
t I tin other. She can moisten her lips with the lingers of
her right hand, but beyond this chits unable to move, all
the rest of her frame being apparently dead. She hunts
at the least excitement, and lies for hours, and even day'
in a state of coma. to one instance she lay an for a fort-
night. When she desires to call attention to herself she
sighs deeply. When uut insensible, her mental faculties
are &moat unimpaiie I, sn•l she nine the fingers of her
right hand as • sign for " Yes," se•l keeps the hands open
for " No." A sure. on, who has tisitegl her, says she
suffers from pressure on the heath, and at times endures
intense pain in the right temple. When this is the case
the rapid tremor of her nerves can be distinctly felt by
laying • head on her forehead. the sensation thus pro-
ducsd in the observer being similar to that of • slight
chug* from • magnetic machine. This throbbing becomes
in the and so violent as to cause her to relapse into insensib-
ility.

spirit. Afterwards the Puddletown string

ANOTHER TREMENDOUS YANKEE

IDZA.

American ingenuity, stimulated to almost super-
human efforts of conception by the favourable results
of the experiments recently made with a view to
tunnelling the bed of the British Channel, has put
forth an &waxing project for connecting Great Britain
with America by a Transatlantic Railway. Rejecting
the notion of driving a tunnel under the ocean, as
too tedious and expensive, the devisers of the scheme
propose to sink down the Alantic bed an iron tube
some 8,000 miles long and twenty-six feet in diameter,
through which two trains might travel simultaneously
with perfect convenience and safety. Mr. Edison
believes that he can perfect an electric locomotive to
draw the trains along through the tube in fifty hours,
from shore to shore, and the oust of the whol
rolling stock included, is not to exceed one hundred
and sixty millions sterling.—Dady fsiepropii,

A DESERTER FROM THE DORSET
MILL 1 lA.

William Missal, of South-street, was charted In
custody on remand, before Dr. Hay and R. Contick,
Esq., on Wednesday, with being a deserter from the
Dorset Militia for two years.
John Purtill, colour-sergeant. identified the
prisoner, and stated he had been absent from his
regiment when on permanent duty for two years,
viz., 1879-80.
Tizzard pleaded not guilty to the charge, but the
sergeant alleged he had been absent without leave
from the commanding officer.
Prisoner submitted that he was at sea, and unable
to report himself in 1879, that during the present year,
he had been shipwrecked, and was unable to get
home.

-----
The sergeant said he had instructions to prosecute for
the two years; if when prieoner came aehore, he had
• reported himself, he might hays saved himself all this
bother.

Prisoner had understood from the owner of the
shipwrecked vessel, that his relations with the Militia
would be all right, and he (prisoner) did not think it
worth while to report himself.
The apprehension was proved by P.C. Pearce, who
said
t;:ainer was gasetted as a deserter from the
Mili and on Christmas Eve be apprehended him.
The "rman intimated he would recommend the
payment of M. to the constable, the usual apprehension
fee.

-he Benoit observed it was unfortunate that the
prisoner should hays made such a mistake • he ought
to have reperted himself, but that be negl•Cted doing
so in Ignorance. He waa liable to two months
imprisonment, or a fine of from 40a. to 00. The
Bench were bound to carry out the law, and would
fine him 40s, and ie. costa for the 1879 offence, over.
looking that of 1880. The mon.y warn paid IV
prisoner, who was then intended
taking unto himself a wife on morning following
his apprebenaien, but we trust nothing furthm will
transpire to prevent the solemn ceremony.

BILIDPOZT.

Tar "A" COILPANT AT Carroa.—Acoording to
annual custom the Bridport Company Volunteers
attended Divine morning service at the perish
church on Sunday. The following was the total—The
band, numbering 12, under Bugle-Major Foster, and
61 rank and file, consisting of corporals and privates.
Exclusive of the above were Captain Whetbam, lot
Lieutenant E. A. S. Hermosa, 2nd Lieutenant B. W.
Harmsen, Acting-Chaplain Rev. E. J. lienslowe,
Sergeant-Major Watts, 6 Sergesnts, and
Sesresot June., of the Dorset Militia, who is
staeloned in the town as recruiting-sArgant. The
men &rambled at head quarter (MC Hall), U 10.40,
and, headed by the band, which played some
appropriate muck, paraded to the church. The
chaplain preached the sermon. Service being over,
the men again fell in and marched to the Town Hall,
where they dispersed after an inspection by Sergeant
Major Watts.

Wnwoun Demi or rue Toeuruthe.—The sod of
the old year proclaimed the demise of the Beensinster
and BrWport 2red District Turnpike Trout, exten '-
lug from the railway station at Bridport, throuth
Beaminster, to the toll-gate beyond the tunnel on the
Crewiterne Road. The date of the abolition of this
trust has for a considerable time been anxiously
awaited by many who will save a geed round stun
per annum. Quite a demonstration wa.exp.ctea,.but
idnittlute there was an unpardonable and mischievousis ce. The report become current that a
number of ceuveyances would drive by the gates, and
give gratuitous rides to the public, and that a huge
cask of nut-brown ale would be tapped to refresh any
who might apply for it. Before midnight an im.
nuns* crowd, hilarious and noiey, proceeded to the
Bradpole-pte, but it had been removed by the
purchaser Wore darkness had set in. There being no
gate for the crowd to ruin, nor any ale to quaff, they
amused themselves by wrecking the toll-houses, nearly
every pane of glees being smashed, and the lamp over
the door was cruthed to atoms On the way to laud
from the some of distruction some cowardly fellows
