Patrick Cane. John Hickey. James llPElliot, David
Harrington. John Fahey, Wiliam Burke, Edmund Sha-
nahan, 'I komas Lynn, Thomas Burke, and Edmund
Slattery, were brought up fur re-examination before Mr.
Elliott, charged nigh killing end slaying Henry Chaplin.
a constable ot the L division of police, in Vauxhall-walk,
on Sunday morning, the 4th instant.
Mr. Bodkin, the barrister, and Mr. Powell, from the
office of the solicitor to the Treasury, appeared fur she
prosecution, together with Superintendent Evans, of the
L division, who has charge of the case. Mr. Gam. 13,
solicitor, appeared on behalf of some of the prisoners.
Mr. Bodkin, addressing the magistrate, said the Police
Commissioners considered the ca-co to be of such serious
importance that they had instructed him to attend on
their behalf. From the information he had received he
felt that the case was not in a state to justify the magis-
trate in disposing of it immediately. Should the magis-
trate see fit to remand the prisoners for a few days he
understood that some adoitional evidence of importance
would be brought forward. The Commissioners ot
Police, he need scarcely say, were only anxious that a
matter which terminated so painfully should be full 3
investigated.
Mr. Games said that on behalf of three of the men
now in charge—John Fahey, William Burke, and Ed-
mund Shanahan—he had to apply to the magistrate the.
they be discharged out of custody. Those three men
were present at the former examinations, and there was
not a particle of evidence calculated to implicate them
in the unhappy affair. The evidence merely went to
show that the three men for whose relea.e he applied
bad been to a raffia held at the White Liou public-house
but beyond that there was nothing to connect total with
the outrage. Under these circums-ances he trusted that
the Magistrate and the Learned Counsel who appeared
for the prosecution would be of opinion that these was
no necessity for detaining these three men any longer.
They had for a long time been constantly employed at
the gas works, where they could always be found. He
felt satisfied that there was no wish on the part of the
Learned Counsel to detain the prisoners longer than re.
gird for the due course of public justice required. He
(Mr. Games) admitted that the case of Hickey and
some other of the prisoners was very different, but as
regarded them he should have something to say here
after,

Mr. Bodkin replied that the gentleman' who made the
application had only done him justice in scying that he
had no object in the further denentlon of any of the pri-
soners than was consistent with regard to the ends of
justice. Bat considering the very serious nature of the
charge, and seeing that these three men were in some
degree implicated, he presumed the magistrate would
agree with him that they ought not to be discharged at
that stage of the inquiry. If the toagiiraie would fix
Twaday next for the re-examination, it would is no
very great hardship for tht m to remain in custody till
that d.iy,
Mr. ELLIOTT said that under the circucoxances, and
looking to the facts disclosed by the evidence, he fel
that he ought not to discharge any of the prisoners
present. The case would, therefore, stand over til
Tuesday next.
