THE CLERKEN WELL OUTRAGE.
The Reoorder, in addressing the grand jun, said the
first case to which he would direct their attention was
the charge 'Liana no less than seven persons of wilful
murder, which arose out of the explosion at Clerkenwell
in December last. By that explosion a considerable por-
tion of the prison wall sou blown down, some
house. on the opposite side of the street destroyed,
and several persons injured, some of whom bad
died. It was in regard to the death of these puns
that they had now to inquire, and they would have to
anneal whether the primeness, or any of them, were the
persona who caused these deaths, and under what dream-
stemma the deaths took plate. They would find that in
the mouth of December last there were detained in the
House of Detention at Clakenwell two prisoners, named
Burke and Casey, who were charged with being ...-
corned is what was described as the Fenian conspiracy,
and who were then under remand on the sped&
charge of treason-felony. Evidence would be laid before
them to lead to the conclusion that the ablest of the
explosion was to facilitate the escape of these prisoners',
and that the persons now charged with murder were men
or less directly engaged in producing that explosion. The
first evidence in point of time was that of Vaughan and
Mullady, who were informers and members of Inn they
called the Fenian Brotherhood, and they stated that five
of the prisoners—William Desmond, Timothy Desmond,
Nicholas English, John O'Keefe, and Michael Barret,
were also members of that brotherhood, end would gin
evidence es to conversations which took place both before
and after the explosion, which, if believed, would tend to
show that they were engaged in the plan to facilitate the
escape of Barks and Carty by means of the explosion to
which he had refereed. Honored not tell them that they
must be very nation aa to the weight they attached to
the evidence of these persons. The explosion took place
on the 14th December, sad there was evidence as to the
purchase of gunpowder on the 4th, but none of the pri-
soners were identified with that purchase. It was, hew-
ever, sent to a court which some of the prisoners
frequented. On the afternoon of the 13th there was
an attempt to blow up the prison wall, but the force
burnt out before reaching the gunpowder' and the
barrel wee then taken away. Those engaged in the
transaction on that day were Timothy Desmond,
O'Keefe, and English, and there was very material evi-
dence given as to what took place in that evening. On
the following day the explosion took place, produsiug
the effects he had described, and the prisoners spoken to
on this oaadon, by different witnesses, were Timothy
Desmond, Wm. Desmond, Bared, and O'NeilL Respect-
ing Barrett there was evidence that on the evening of the
explosion he went to Mulladjs accompanied by
a person who had peat of his ear blown off. He was sub-
sequently apprehended in Gleepw, in company with
O'Neill, against whom there was not much evidence fur-
thee than that of his being in company with Barrett.
Timothy Diamond was apprehended on the spot directly
after the explosion, and shortly before he lad been
