DUBLIN, TEL/DAT EVENING.
The arguments in the case of Martin r. the Queen
in error, were resumed in the Court of Queen's Bench
to-day, by Mr. Holmes, who was followed by the
Attorney-General for the crown. The decision will
not be given for some days.
The record of the conviction of Mr. W. S. O'Brien
and the other prisoners sentenced at Clonmel, has just
been lodged in the Crown office here. It remains to
be inspected by the prisoners' counsel, which they
will proceed to do as speedily as possible, and
then the preparation of the errors to be aseigned, and
their engrossment and verinoation by the condemned
parties, will follow. This will probably not be ar-
ranged until Monday next, at which time, of course
Mr. O'Brien and his oolleaguf s must appear in court.
It is doubtful whether the error can be argued this
term.

to himself to decide as to the amount and kind of extension (when
further discussion should make the matter clear end apparent)
that would be safe and practicable. The question of fns trade
was lore alluded to, owing to his unreserved opinion brine favours

and still remains, the extension of endo• inept, upon which Mr.
Eitzwillianes opinions ate extremely unsatinfactmy • for, while oh-

said) in proportion to the numbers 01 each, he could rot promotes
to oppose such en arrangement if it should be proposed. These
points being therefore taken es settled, the deputation then replier
rented to him that it would be desirable to keep the various inte-
rests of the liberal peaty uniu d, and with this view they asked
him (Mr. Yitzwillism) to withdraw his claim to the suffrage. of the
electors on the peewit occasion, in favour of some gentleman who
concurred with the resolutions agreed to at the Normanton meeting.
The deputation also urged Mr. Pima youth and inexperience.
The appeal, was, however, made in vain. The honourable gentleman
said, that having received numerous promises of support, rod having
taken his stand as • candidate, to retreat on his part w... impossible.
Any attempt to cause him to reconsider this di ciaion would evidently
have been fruitless, and the ,deputation, who were peen:wally re-
, aired with the utmost urbanity and kindness, retired with • painful
seam of diasmointment.
The executive committee have determined upon calling
another delegate meeting, to be held at Normanton, on Fri-
day next, and an the mean time meetings of electors are to
be held in the several polling districts, to maze choice of a
candidate to oppose Mr. Fitawilliam, and to instruct their
delegates as to the mums to be taken when they assemble at
Normenton.
