THE QUEEN V. O'DOHERTY.

Monday, at ten o'clock, was fixed for the trial of Mr.
O'Doherty (oee of the proprietors of the Tribune), for
the third time.

THE CONVICTED CONFEDERATES.
This morning, Michael Moran, John Joseph Moran,
and James M.‘Cormack, the first convicted of having
stabbed, and the two latter of having assaulted John
Byrne, a policeman in this city, in July last, were called
up for sentence.

Mr. Justice CRAMPTON having dwelt at some length
upon the circutmtances of the case, and the heinous-
ness of the offence, sentenced Michael Moran to be
transported for fifteen years, and the others to be im-
prisoned for nine months each, with hard labour.

SPECIAL COMMISSION.
It is supposed that a Special Commission to try Duffy
will be sought for by the Attorney-General.

TILE STATE PRISONERS.
We understand, says the Evcniny Post, that writs of
error having been allowed by tho Attorney-General, in
the cases of the State prisoners recently convicted at
Clonmel, warrants respiting the capital punishment
during pleasure will be transmitted to the high sheriff.
We are enabled to state that the Lord-Lieutenant had,
previous to his departure, intimated his pleasure to this
effect, and had allowed an assurance to be conveyed to
those most interested in learning the fate of Mr. O'Brien
that the extreme penalty of the law would not be carried
into effect. The official notification of a respite has only
been delayed until the writs of error had been regularly
allowed.
