The Fenian Prosecutions.

CORK, Monday Night.
At the sitting of the Court this morning two pri-
soners, Dillon and Lynch, were arraigned.
Judge Fitzgerald contradicted the report that
M'Afferty was acquitted because he was an alien
and owed no allegiance to the Queen. The judges
wished it to be known that aliens once in the king-
dom might be liable for a charge of treason.
The Grand Jury returned true bills against Thos.
Duggan, Jeremiah O'Donovan, John Casey, James
Mountaine, and Alexander Nichols.
Warner, the approver, was examined after the
Attorney-General's address. He proved that the
prisoners Dillon and Lynch were present at drill at
several places. Five hundred persons were present
at some of them.
The case for the Crown closed after the exami-
nation of some other witnesses, amongst them two
more approvers.

The evidence for the prosecution was strong.
The defence will be entered on to-morrow morn-
ing.

tenant to acquaint you, for the information of the board
that the inspectors-general of prisons, having already held
an inquiry ou oath, in virtue of the power conferred upon
them by law, and reported to his Excellency the result o
their inquiries, he cannot accede to the application in ques-
tion. lam to add that, in accordance with the recommen-
dation of the inspectors-general, his Excellency has directed
that Mr. Marquess shall be dismissed from his office of go-
vernor of Richmond Bridewell, and that his Excellency has
