TAN /RATAN PROSECUTIONS.
INYNYHER EXAMINATION OF BURKE, CASEY
AND ULLADY, AT BOW-STREET POLICE.-
OOURT.—(THIS DAY.)
The three Fenian prisoners, Ricturd Burke (ells*
Berry), Theobald Joseph Casey, and Henry Shaw (alias
Mullady), were spin brought before Sir Thomas Henry, at
Bow-street pitmen* this morning.
In consequence of rumours circulated lad night of an
intended attack upon the van, even greeter presautions
were adopted than on the previous °magma. Prior to the
arrival of the van the street was taken possession of by
strong force of polies, who formed two lines across the
road—one at the end of Bow-street, in Great Hassell-
street, and ens a little above the court and make, oppo-
site the Strand Union Nitro—keeping a clear space in front
of the court, and for some distance above and below. Into
this space the van was driven, the line of constables opening
to give it presage, and dasinglegain as soon as it had
cleared them. The van was esoorted by &boat* mounted
police, armed with cutlasses and revolvers. The pumps
of the court were crowded with armed policemen, and •
double reserve, also armed, was kept at the deem.
Kr.Giffard,Q.C.,and Mr. Poland again appeared for the
crown ; Mr. W. P. Macdonald, instructed by Mews.
Merriman and Buoklaad, appeared for Burke, and explained
that Mr. Tore was unavoidably absent, being detained in
an important ems at Manchester. Mr. Lewis, of 22, Great
Marlborough-strut. defended Casey and Shaw.
Henry Fisher, shipping clerk—l was formerly employed
at Curzon-street railway station, Birmingham. I was so
employed on the Bth, 10th, and 11th of January, 1866. I
loaded four cases el goods, which I can identify by my
own figures upon them. I recognise the prisoner Shaw as
the man who brought the goods. That wee the case with
all the consignment notes. He shipped all the four. [The
caw in question were some of them obtained from Mr.
!Week.]
Mr. Lewis—l suppose you only recognise the man from
your belief
Witness—That is the man who brought the goods to me
and the man I took them from.
The evidence taken prior to the apprehension of Shaw
was now reed over as against him.
Corydon was nulled at the request of Mr. Lewis, who
wished to cross-examine him on behalf of the prisoner
Shaw, for whom he bad not been instructed at the time
Corydon gave his evidence. In answer to Mr. Lewis,
Corydon said—l identified Shaw last April in the gaol as
Monody, but I have given no further evidence against
him, nor have I sworn information against him. He was
arrested in March, the day after the rising. A special
commission took place in Ireland, but he was not tried
there.
The names of the witnesses were then called over, and
it was found that aldbut were in attendance.
Mr. Giffard said that notice could be sent to him.
Mr. Giffard then applied for the committal of the three I
prisoners for trial on the charge of treason-felony, and ob-
served that although the acts proved had extended over
various parte of this country and Ireland, yet
as the principal overt acts and the foundation
of the substantial case against Burke were the
purchase of arms at Birmingham, he should ask for the
committal of the prisoners to take their trial at the next
assizes to be held for the county of Warwick.
Sir Thomas Henry said he thought Warwick was the
proper place.
Mr. Macdonald said he most oppose that to the utmost
of his power. The prisoners were much more likely to
have a fairer trial in London than in Warwick. Besides,
it was a hardship upon Burke to be detained till the Spring
Assizes. He had already been in prison eight weeks. It
was quite within the learned magistrate's discretion to com-
mit them to take their trial in London.
Sir Thomas Henry—l know that ; and I think I exercise
a proper discretion in sending them to Warwick.
Mr. Lewis said that to Casey end Shaw the expense
would be greatly augmented by the trial taking place at
Warwick. They wished to call a large number of wit-
nesses.
Sir Thomas Henry—Thera is a provision for that now.
Mr. Lewis—Then there is the expense of sending counsel
so far.
Sir Thomas Henry—l cannot help that. The chief
witnesses come from Warwickshire.
Mr. Macdonald—There are witnesses from both places.
Sir Thomas Henry—l am quite aware of that. They
must be committed to Warwick gaol to take their trial at
the spring &SIVAS. The witnesses most be bound over in
1001. to attend and give evidence at the trial.
Mr. Lewis—Allow me to remind you that Casey at first
was only charged with the assault on the police officer,
and—
Sir Thomas Henry—lt is really useless to repeat the
application for bail. I cannot take bail in such a case as
this. It is right, Mr. Macdonald, that I should ask you
if you wish to call any witnesses.
Mr. Macdonald—l understand there are a great many
witnesses, but I do not propose to all them here. I am
quite aware that nothing I could say would prevent you
from committing them for trial.
The prisoners were then removed.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT TO A PHYSICIAN.

Yesterday an inquest was held at the Haber-
dashers' Arms, Knighton, before Hr. W. Morgan, coroner,
on the hod_ y
on of Dr. Swift,
_of Elford, near Eiesluhall,
met with his death Sunday last, under o rcemscance'
pardeulmieed below. John Pritchard, labourer, said that
on the day mentioned he went from Adbaston to Tunrtall,
by the cart road. When he got into the first field Smug',
which the road passes, he found it divided b sheep
hurdles. They Were firmly fixed across the road but not
fastened by coupling links. He returned from Tonslall
at twenty minutes to 9 o'clock. On reaching the
hurdles he saw the body of a man lying neer them, and a
buss not far away. He recognised the body, which Iraq
quite lifeless, es that of Dr. Swift. The hurdle that
acmes the rind when he flat palmed the spot was upm,
It was not removed from its place but simply knocked
down. The other was standing. Witness had seen de.
mimed at 3 o'clock the same afternoon, and he did not

dashers' Amu, that deceased called at his home
at half-put 6 o'c oak on Sunday evening. He &pleased
to be "fresh." He had nothing to drink there. II Suss
heard his daughter tell him he had had enough, and that
he had better go on his way. He went in, however, and
after being elated for a short time, fell asleep. He went
away at 8 o'clock. Witness could remember a cut
road from Adbeston to Tunstall for seventy years back,
during which period it had been looked upon as a " regular
road," andoanstently made use of. He had never known the
parish to repair it. The field where the accident occurred
was in the occupation of Mr. Veitch. William Key saw
Mr. Veitch's man set up the hurdles across the road
on Friday last. He also saw deceased come that way on
I the same day, and noticed that when he came to the hur-
dled he got off his horse and removed them. Witness,whe
had known the road fifteen or sixteen years, had never
known any obstruction whatever to be placed across it.
John Vyse said he set up the hurdles by order of his
master, Mr. Veitch. He was told to place them across
the road,: from hedge to hedge, bat be was so to do this
that people could get through them. They were therefore
not coupled, and it was intended that the one in the
road should be lifted and moved back when any person
passed that way. Richard Fletcher, who had been servant
to deceased, said his late master was sixty-four or sixty.
five years of age. The cob he rode on Sunday was • very
quiet animal. Witness was told on Sunday night of the
accident that had befallen his master, and he went to
Adbeaton immediately. The body was found about ric
yards from the line of hurdles and the cob was marked
with mud, as though it had been down. Witness misted
in the removal of the body.
After the above evidence had been given, the inquiry
adjourned for a fortnight.

THE REYosu Lam:vs.—The Reform League met

form League, Atlelphi-terrace, by Mr. Kalil, of the Irish
Reform League, had been opened in the Post-office, tho ,
side of the envelope having been cut open. He said ha
bad the utmost contempt for such miscral.:e espionage a
gross nd
breach of confidence. Mr. Acland roposed, and
Henwood seconded, the following esoplution, which
:—" That this council desires to erases to Mr.
Tre:111 and the other members of the lush Reform
League its deep sympathy with them under the circum-
stances which have led to their temporal y suspension of
the proceedings and meetings of their League, :mlitself to support by all legal and con'
pledges

regard to the Irish church and land questions and other
matters in church and state as shall be calculated to re-
move all just grounds of discontent from the minds of the
Irish people, and put them in possession of all such rights
and liberties as are eojoyed or Can be claimed by the peoPir
of England." (Cheers.) Mr. Odger then moved, and Mr.
Hayles seconded:—" That this meeting is of opinion that
the Irish people should have an opportunity afforded them
of voting by manhood suffrage the kind of government
which they, os an intelligent people, think wisest and belt
for the happiness and prosperity of their countiy." The
resolution gave rise to a warm &Jamaica and the Conn-
deration of the question was atliourned.
