THE ABYSSINIAN !PEWS.

The Times observes that the special merit of the Abys-
sinian campaign was in the f►et that our science and
organisation has defeated the antagonism which nature
presented to us. Nothing like it has been attempted
since Suwarrow led his forces over the St. Gothard,
and we may well be proud of • general who could
plan and conduct such an expedition, and of an
army that could be trusted to respond to the spirit of its
leader. For Theodore, viewing him in his last hour, it is
impounds not to feel some pity. He was of stuff of
which many an Eastern conqueror has been made, and,
passionate and resolute to the end, he still fought when
fighting was hopeless. The simple statement of Sir Robert
Napier that the army will return immediately is the best
commentary that can be made upon our motives in enter-
ing upon the Abyssinian war, end will be • complete
answer to the insinuations of foreign critics.
Sir Robert Napier, says the Daily hers, is a commander
as fortunate as meritorious. As to Theodore, there were
points in his character which might make ns wish that a
better fate had been reserved for him. He was a man
of extraordinary intelligence. Mr. Plowden de-
scribed him fifteen years ago, when his star
was rising, as vigorous in manly exercises,
of striking countenance, polite and engaging, displaying
great tact and delicacy, austere, a religious enthusiast, and
indefatigable in business ; but even then liable to sudden
and mysterious accesses of blind fury, like Saul, the son of
Kish. but with no David to drive the " evil spirit" from
him. Success corrupted and resistance embittered his
nature, and for years his power has been on the wane. His
death leaves the field free to some other adventurer, if
anyone feels encouraged by his experience to follow in his
steps. Our task in Abyssinia is accomplished.
The Post remarks that the nein just received by tele-
graph has travelled in the unprecedently short tints of
thirteen days, so that detailod news of the battle and the
assault cannot apparently be received for about ten or
twelve days to come ; in the meantime, of course, tele-
grams will be received heralding the homeward march of
our victorious little army.

The tint engineer ever appointed to lead s British
army—Sir Robert Napier—the Megrim* remarks, has
amply viadicated the claims of the scientific branch to high
command.

The Herald finds nothing in our military annals more
complete or more satisfactory.
The SMr anticipates that by the end of play the expo.

THE LATE SEIZURE OF COMBUSTIBLE

FOURTH EDITION.

TIIE FENIAN TRIALS AT THE OLD
BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)

(13,forc Lord CAW Justice Cockburn and Baron
Breutiocil.)

The Attorney-General resumed his reply on behalf of the
crown this morning. He unberitatingly asserted that the
eridence which had been adduced for the defence was false,
soil that it was suggested by Barrett in the letter which he
wrote during his ince:oar/tier% in Millbenk. He dwelt
upon the fact that Barrett had not produced his employes
or the person with whom he lodged, adding that the
mw upon whose testimony counsel for the de-
fence had mainly relied was the editor of •
seditious paper. Referring to M'Nulty's evidence,
according to which Barrett was in Glasgow an the 12th,
3,,th, and 14th of December, he argued that certain state-
menu made by that individual to Captain M'Oall, and in
court during the present trial, surrounded his story with
improbability. M'Nalty told them that up to 2 o'clock
eh the Saturday after the explosion he had not heard of
it . but could they credit each a statement when they remora.
hired that Glasgow teemed with Fenian sympathisers, who
must have known all about the explosion soon after it had
taken piece I Wllulty was visited by Captain Weill
before he had heard of Barrett's letter, and the statements
b. then made conclusively showed that the shoe transac-
tion referred to by the prisoner never took place. 31'Nulty
told Captain PATO he had first heard of the Clerkenwell
explosion from O'Neill, whereas be stated in court he had
hart heard of it when Barrett sent out for the evening
paper and read the account of it. M'Nulty now tried to
explain that the substitution of the word " buttoning" for
" bottoming", as applied to Barrett's shoes, accounted for
the discrepancies in his story, but there was no doubt that
his answers to Captain M'Call, before Barrett suggested
the alibi, should be relied upon in preference to these
which be subsequently gave. Dealing with the second pert
:nil the alibi supported by M'Manus, Burgoyne, and
all'orry, the Attorney-General proceeded to remark that
the latter individual had degraded journalism by elevating
the Manchester murderers to hence and martyrs. When
such articles as those which M'Corry bad written on the
subject of the executions at Manchester was read by
the catholic Irish of Scotland, no one should be surprised
to tad that portion of the community disaffected subjects
her Majesty. Adverting to Barrett's letter to
M•Manus, he observed it was an extraordinary
circumstance that none of the witnesses knew Barrett's
kiliper,s, and that Barrett said nothing in his letter about
the meeting held at the Bell Hotel on the evening of the
I.:th of December. They were told that the priaoner was

,teve lore, but why were hie employers or some persons
onploytd cit the quays at Glasgow not produced to prove
shat be was doing at the time of the explosion!
Mull tny had sworn that Barrett bad come from Glasgow
Ls.iat in Barke's escape. How could Mullen, have
. .n.l that out if he had not known that Barrett and
,i...tin Murphy really intended to carry out the

would not have let his wit* know as much as he knew him-
self." With regard to Wm. Desmond, Vaughan stated
that, on meeting him outside Kavanagh's public-house, he
told him detectives were yakking his house, and that
he had better " hook it." Whereupon he was stated to
have said, " Oh, what can I do, Jailor I have no
momiy." If that were true it showed a belief on the part
of William Desmond in the expediency of making himself
scarce. William Desmond was not identified, or at
least satisfactorily identified, as having been at
Clarkenwell. The witnesses Al em and Bird said he was
like one of the men, but they would not swear positively
to his identity. The girl Martha Kompaley and her
I brother dad not recognise him as having been at Mrs.
Martin's, and the evidence as to his identity given by
the women residing at Pulteney-court should be looked
upon with very great doubt, inasmuch as it had been
shown that they failed to identify him at Mlllhank, and
subsequently at Bow-street, and that it was only after eon-
Terming together and with the police that they fixed upon
• Brigliah, according to Mullany, was present at
the meetings held in the American Stores and
in Castle-market, and several witnesses spoke to
his having been at Mrs. Martin's. Mrs. Smothers, the
landlady of the Bell besrshop, near the House of Deten-
tion, swore that be was like one of the men who bad been
in her house, and Stratton, the carman, positively mid that
he seer biro go in and out of the Bell several times on the
day of the explosion. Clifford, one of thewarders, said be
believed English was one of the men he had seen
drawing the truck. Then so fax as Timothy Desmond
was concerned, they bad the evidence of Worth,
the warder, who deposed to having seen him in
Corporation-lane on the day of the explosion, and Gold-
smith, another warder, who swore be saw him with Allen
and Ann Justice. Corroborative evidence as to Timothy
Desmond being near the House of Detention was given
by a policeman who was en duty in plain clothes
outside the prison. But the most important testimony
on this point, and which he (the Lord Chief Justice) was
boned to tell them was most favourable to the prisoner,
was given by Inspector Thomson. That officer told them
that he raw Timothy Desmond near the prison when he
went there at a quarter past 3 on the day of the explosion,
and that he also saw him on his leaving, but he added be
believed that from the fact that Timothy Desmond was
drunk and that he was • good distance from where
the explosion took place, it would have been impossible
for Desmond to have reached the barrel before it exploded.
Unitise they were satisfied that he was at the prison
aiding and abetting, they should give an acquittal in his
use. Coming to the ease against Barrett, the Lord Chief
Justice said they had had evidence that Barrett was
at Mullany's house, and that he dined there • few times.
The lad Morris, who had not voluntarily given his services
to the crown, incriminated his master, end in doing so ac-
cidentally included Barrett. In referring to this part of
the case, he could not account for the non-pro-
duction of Mrs. Mullany, who was stated to have been in
the back parlour on the evening of the 13th, and to have
placed in a bundle the clothes which Barrett or Jackson
found it inexpedient to wear. He felt bound to say that
Mrs. Mullany could have given most important evi-
dence, and he was surprised the Attorney-General
had not thought proper to put her into the witness box.
He likewise felt obliged to comment upon the absence of
Mrs. Martin, of Pulteney-court, with whom Barrett
was alleged to have walked, and who could hays given
an exact description of his personal appearance. With
regard to the evidence of Bird the dairyman, be must say
that it contained some material discrepaacies. At the House
of Detention he first identified O'Neill ea the man who fired
the barrel, and he afterwards fixed upon Barrett, and in his
testimony on thispoint he contradicted himself by first say-
ing that he turned Barrett round, and afterwards denying
ho had done so. Then at Bow-street he said in the coursed
his examination that Wm. Desmond was like the man. They
might believe that Bird was a perfectly sincere witness,
but he had vacillated to such an extent that his testimony
was open to serious suspicion. He had also admitted that
when he was taken to the House of Detention to identify
Timothy Desmond he said be could not identify any of the
men. Looking at the whole of the evidence relating
to what took place at Clerkenwell they would find
that in itself it was not satisfactory. If Mullany's
evidence was to be believed, Barrett was the man who
fired the barrel, but that evidence required corroboration,
which was supplied by the boy Morris, who swore that
Barrett washed his neck in Mullany's beck-room on the
eveniug of theexplcaion, and by the woman Keppel,whowsui
acquainted with his perwmal appeeranoe, and who told them
that he had shaven off his whiskers. If the case had rested
there they should have been under the painful necessity
of at once concluding that Barrett was the wan who fired
the fuse. But then the defence stepped in and supplied
one of the most extraordinary cases of alibi he had ever
known, and one which led them to the belief that
the witnesses for the prosecution hel either been
labouring under some hallucination or that one
of the wickedest attempts to destroy the life of • human
being that had ever been made had been perpetrated
them. If the evidence for the defence was to he believed,
the fact that Barrett could have been In London on
the 13th of December was physically impossible. They
should carefully consider and see whether the alibi was not
• fabrication. It was possible that Barrett might have had
boots repaired by M'Nulty, that the other two
men might have done the work, that Barrett might
have read an account of the Clerkonwell explosion to them,
but that the whole transaction might have occurred a
week later. In that case the statement of the
men that they beard the details for the first time
would be extremely improbable, and it might be there-
fore that truth and falsehood were strangely ll:arming:ed.
Then 31'Nulty's statements to Captain M'Call, and his ac-
counting for the discrepancies between them and thaw
which he subsequently made by the use of the
word " buttoning " instead of " bottoming," re-
quired the most serious and careful considera-
tion from them. They should solemnly and seriously
consider whether the entire evidence for the defence was
not falsely set up to save the life of Barrett, or that the
dates of the meeting at the Bell Hotel in Glasgow, and of
the occurrence in M'Nuity's work-room, had not been in-
accurately fixed. 'They had two sets of evidence to deal
with, and the whole case demanded the gravest considera-
tion at their hands. It was just possible that the
Glasgow witnesses were speaking to one man and
the London witnesses to nether, or that two
men concerned in the Fenian movement were so mush
alike that some persons would rind it impossible to dis-
tinguish one from the other. In conclusion he earnestly
and solemnly prayed them not to permit their just indig-
nation at the awful crime which was the subject
of inquiry to sway them from the paths they ought
to pursue in the administration of justice, or to
depart from those sacred principles according to which
justice should be meted out.
The jury then (ten minutes to 4) retired to consider their
verdict.
