DUBLIN, TRIIIIIDAT Mort
Ito trial of Mr. Meagher drags its slow length
aledg. The proceedings were resumed yesterday
morning, and the day was occupied with the SillAg-
nation of winners for the prosecution, which had
not closed at the rising of the court. The waren-
mination of the polies, who pnrpotted to give accurate
reports of passim from roaches Uivered by
Meagher and others, was imporant. The neat en-
ding addend against Mr. ?deagher was in reference
to the transactions at Manahan, where Mr. led
O'Brien demanded their arms from the police, led at
Killenaule, where barrio des were erected ago last a
detachment of human on learn through that town.
It was admitted that Mr. Meagher was not paint
ca either occasion, and the learned counsel for the pri-
mer therefore contended that what took place could
not not be evidence against their client. The attar.
my-general contended that, having connected Mr.
Meagher with Mr. O'Brien in a treasonable conspi-
racy to levy war against the queen, on the doctrine
that in treason all are principals, Mr. O'Brien's sub-
agent acts is furtherance of the original treasonable
intention boson in fact Mr. Meagher's acts, and were
soccedingly clearly admissible against him. The
court decided that the evidence ought to be received.
Lord Chief Justice Hale had decided that, if
divers persons conspired to levy war, and war
was levied. then the act of treason was
hi be charged against all the conspirators, for in
treason there were no accessories. In the present
cane there was evidence of an intention to levy war,
and the 'Nowa proposed to show, by the evidence ob-
jected to, that war had actually bees levied. This
was the most imprint argument derugraisosuksithetrial.
and the point has besa reserved for feather
in case the counsel for the prisoner consider that
there is anything in it.
The Quarter Sessions for the county Tipperary wen
opened last week. by Berjeant Howley, awastaat-
barrister. Four men were put en trial yesterday for

victed, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment and
hard labour.
