DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
In the cue of the Queen against K. J. O'Dohert7,
for felony, Mr. Justice Crampton commenced Ins
summing up this morning at ten o'clock. The jury
retired at one, and at half-put three returned with a
verdict of Guilty, accompanied with a recommenda-
tion to mercy, on account of the prisoner's 7outh and
the excited state of public feeling at the time of the
publication of his treasonable writings.
The preliminary steps have been taken for the
argument on the writ of error in the case of Mr.
O'Brien and the other convicts, which will com-
mence in the course of next week, as the
law officers of the crown are anxious to bring
it to a final adjudication with the least pos-
sible delay. According to usage, the agent
of each of the prisoners, on depositing the
writ of error, hu to pay a fee of fifteen guineas to
the Attorney-General, for attaching his signature.
This fee the learned gentleman, it is acid, has remitted
in the case of Mr. P. O'Donohne ; but the other
parties, Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher, and *Manus,
have paid the required amount.

with little display of opposition or party spirit ; but on this
occasion there have been contests in three out of the fire

jury was not confined to Mr. Ferrier' as his wife, who was

slightest regard to the certain consequences of an escape of
