DUBLIN, TUISDAT EVENING.
Gossip, for it cannot be dignified with the tide of
rumour, has it, that two rise of cholera occurred in
Dublin on Saturday lad, tat physicians say that the
instances in question partook an no degree of the cha-
racteristics of Asiatic, Doe even any severe type of
English cholera.
Mr. Butt was beard to day in Mr. O'Doherty's
defence. The line of observation he adopted was
similar to that pursued on the two previous occasion..
lie urged the fact ofjoint proprietory, and the grievous
wrong which would be done should Mr. O'Doherty
be punished for writings of which he had perhaps no
knowledge, and over whichhe had ro paramount con-
trol ; and, admitting the legal responsibily of the
prisoner for everything which appeared in the Tribune,
he urged on the jury that they would
not be justified in their consciences in finding
a verdict of guilty, even though they should be con-
vinced that the articles had been written by :Mr.
O'Doherty, unless they were also convinced that at
the time he wrote them he intended to commit the
felony charged—the deposing of the Queen from her
royal name and style, and the levying war against
her. The verdict had not been returned at post-hour.
