Birmingham and the Boundary Commission,

The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the
boundaries of this borough met yesterday at the
Public Office. They were accompanied by the
mayor, and there was a large attendance of- the
active partisans of both political parties, that arising
mainly out of the circumstance of its being desirable,
so far as the Liberals are concerned, that the boun-
daries shall remain AS they are, because in Aston
Manor, which may be said to be part of Birming-
ham, but without the parliamentary borough, the
great majority of those who are qualified to vote
in that locality help the liberal interest in North
Warwickshire ; whilst for thesame reason the Con-
servatives would gladly see that bit of territory thrown
into the borough. The mayor took his seat by the
side of the commissioners, and Mr. Wharton ad-
dressed a few sentences to the assembly, in the
course of which information was freely invited.
The Town-clerk, having been called upon by
the Mayor, laid before the commissioners statistical
information relative to the mileage, acreage, rate-
able :value, and population of the parliamentary
borough as it now stands. _He mentioned also that
at a meeting of the Town Council, held on the pre-
vious day, the following resolution was unanimously
passed :—" That the general purposes committee be
instructed to oppose the extension of the borough
boundary." The Town Clerk added that the par-
liamentary borough was already of enormous size,
the population being 340,000, and to increase it
would render it unmanageable at elections. That
was not only his own opinion, but it was shared in
by an immense majority in the town, and by those
who resided outside the boundary. A plan was
suggested to extend the boundary so as to take in
Aston Manor (within which is Aston Hall), and
containing 5,300 houses, and between twenty and
thirty thousand inhabitants ; also the hamlet of
Saltley, and Washwood Heath contiguous; together
with a part of Handsworth, in Staffordshire, and
Balsall Heath, in Worcestershire, both of which run
up to the present borough, the houses belonging
either to manufacturers who reside away from town,
or to workmen who have gone out of the -borough
to avoid the heavy rating within it. Public meet-
ings have been held in all these suburbs, and reso-
lutions passed in strong opposition to the extension
of the present boundary. In reference to this
one of the commissioners remarked that no doubt
the wishes of the communities would be consi-
dered, but the parliamentary commissioners
also had in view the having regard to identity
of interest as between towns and suburbs. Many
of those present addressed the commissioners,
who invited and received information, not always
concisely rendered with much courtesy. Finally,
Mr. Alderman Hashes placed the whole facts
broadly and succinctly before the court. He
said that the effect of an extension of the present
parliamentary boundary would be to greatly in-
crease the difficulty of conducting elections peace-
fully, because there would be brought together an
unmanageable mass of people. Before adjourning
the commissioners said that they would receive any
statistical information within a week.

lIE FENIAN OUTRAGE.

MANCHESTER, Wednesday.

Another " scene in court" opened the proceed-
ings this morning before Mr. Fowler, the stipendiary
magistrate, and a full bench. Going back a little, as
is necessary in taking up the thread of the examina-
tion each day, it may be allowable here to observe
that the close of the case for the prosecution,
yesterday evening, was an event which many per-
sons hailed with inexpressible pleasure, if for
nothing else than the relief it brought to the en-
durance of all who had so long been compelled to
listen to the cross-examination of witnesses by the
learned gentlemen engaged for the defence. That
Mr. Roberts, in opposition to an opinion from the
bench, that a certain witness had given his evi-
dence properly and fairly, should declare the sworn
testimony of that witness to be " a lie ;" that the
same attorney, having provoked a pretty general
expression of mild disapproval from a crowded
court, should call the assembly who had hissed
him a " swell-mob," " members of the Long
firm," and so forth, telling them that they ought
to be in Belle Vue Gaol ; and that he should have
sought to discredit every simple statement of fact
relating to the charge of riot and murder by drag-
ging from the unfortunate witness a confession
that, on the whole, he rather disliked Fenianisin
than otherwise, was certainly not much more than
might reasonably have been expected from the
" Pitmen's Attorney-General." But it is not
often that Mr. Roberts has a chance of pro-
tracting his peculiar course of advocacy, or, so to
speak, attorney-generalship, over many days ;
and, however philosophically prepared his hearers
li might have been to " grin and bear it," even
unto the end, impatience was almost unavoidable
before the much-desired consummation could ar-
rive. In that impatience, the long-suffering ma-
gistrate of the court, Mr. Robinson Fowler, par-
donably joined, when, expostulating yesterday
with Mr. Roberts, he said " I have endeavoured
to keep myself free front expressing any opinion,
but it is very difficult." Taking heart of grace
from the tone of their legal defenders, the men in
the dock have assumed a boldly defiant manner,
and have not been sparing of their taunts, whether
levelled at the bench, the prosecuting counsel, the
witnesses, or the police. Poor Allen's dejected
look has given place at times to a desperate rallying
of his powers, when, goaded by the calm and dis-
tinct evidence of witness after witness against him,
he has turned like a hunted creature at bay. It is
impossible to avoid a strong feeling of pity for the
youth, whatever degree of guilt may ultimately be
brought home to him. In prison he maintained a
show not merely of fortitude but of confidence, de-
claring that he has no doubt as to the result. Yes-
terday he expressed a positive conviction that by
next Friday night he will be in Dublin. Whether
his insane hope is founded on the idea of a free dis-
missal, or on the yet wilder dream of a rescue, his
language does not precisely indicate. To one of
the officials having charge of him he has spoken
sometimes with a gentleness opposed to his cus-
tomary manner, of his father, who, strange to say,
is governor of a gaol in the county of Cork. Young
Allen has shown himself to be by no means devoid
of natural affection in the anxious inquiries he has
made with a view to assure himself that his own
position of shame and peril will not injure his
father by depriving him of his appointment.
Last night, as I telegraphed at twelve o'clock,
three prisoners were brought handcuffed from
Liverpool. The Manchester police should know
their business, having bad a sharp lesson lately ;
and I will not pretend to say that they acted im-
prudently in marching their captives through the
streets without a guard from the railway terminus

to Albert-street Police-station. No doubt, they
were fully convinced that the fact of the capture
had not been made known here; though in this they
were mistaken, inasmuch as, little later than mid-
day, people were talking over the deep councils of
the authorities, which councils had been garrulously
betrayed by some loose-tongued official. It is true
that the crowd on the railway platform was a small
one, and that, in gathering on the road, snowball
fashion, it did not increase to any formid
dimension ; but, had the prisoners been worth
rescuing, they might have been taken from the
hands of the police much more easily than were the
Fenian colonel and captain from their cells in the
prison van. To say truth, the police of Manchester
have not shone brightly in this business. They can
put on a mysterious air of " wisdom, gravity, pro-
found conceit," when the time has really passed by
for discretion and cautious reserve ; but they sadly
fail to seize Time by the forelock, and the right
man by the collar. The arrest of all the most im-
portant persons among the accused, in the Hyde-
road affair, is in nowise due to the Manchester con-
stabulary ; and the fact "goes without saying" that
poor Brett's death lies at the door of some egregious
blunderer who received a telegraphic message, and
took no heed of it till the time had gone by for
action. It can scarcely prejudice the question of
individual blame, in the scandalous matter of the
delayed telegram, to remark in mild terms that
there is blame, whoever may be the culprit or scape-
goat. Whether it be in store for superintendent,
inspector, sergeant, or constable to be written down
an assuredly incompetent officer, this one thing is
clear, that the police department which boasts the
title of "detective," in a city like Manchester, and
which affords no better provision for urgent tele-
graphic warnings than the mere haphazard course
of leaving them to be read when somebody who
has gone out shall drop in again, wants a little
rubbing up. As a matter of fact, the admonitory
telegram from Dublin, addressed to Mr. Maybury,
the chief of the Manchester detective police, reached
bis office, adjoining the Town Hall, at or about two
o'clock on the day of the outrage, long and long
before the police-van had started, with its very lull
cargo and very weak escort, for Belle Vue Gaol.
It was long and long after the outrage, and when
its unfortunate victim was lying stark and stiff,
that Mr. Superintendent Maybury put on his spec-
tacles to see what the Dublin folk had been tele-
graphing. When, in a stage farce, the stupid ser-
vant puts a letter in his pocket, or in a table-
drawer, and forgets all about it, we can laugh at
the comic consequences. We can afford no mirth,
however, when the stupidity is real instead of acted,
and when the consequences are the very reverse of
hilarious. It is to be presumed that some further
explanation will, one of ;these days, be forthcoming
on a subject affecting the credit of a department on
whose vigilance the safety and peace of a large city
depend.

The military escort by which the prisoners were
guarded to-day, when they were transferred from
the City Police-court to Albert-street Station, was
of additional strength, and quite capable of coping
with any irregular force at all likely to be brought
against it. A body of dragoons preceded the van,
and an equally strong guard of those cavalry troops
followed, the rear being brought up by a detach-
ment of light infantry. The police in attendance
were all armed, and the crowd, though not so
numerous as on some former occasions, was still a
large one.

After our yesterday's parcel was despatched the
examination of the prisoners charged with the recent
outrage in the Hyde-road was proceeded with, and
several other witnesses were examined.

Mr. E. P. Ridgway identified Nugent and Ryan,
the former as having been engagcd in throwing
stones, while the other was very busy about the
van. Was present during the whole affray, which
lasted exactly 17 minutes, commencing at two
minutes to four o'clock, and ceased at a quarter-
past four.
Frederick Wilson, a labourer, produced a seven-
chambered revolver, which he had found at the back
of Alderman Bennet's yard, in the Hyde-road.
Five of the chambers were loaded. He saw two
men running away from the scene of the attack on
the prison van, one of whom threw the pistol on the
ground, the other taking it up again and throwing
it into a brook.

John Thomas, a little boy, produced another
revolver, which he found about 300 yards from the
railway arch.

Elizabeth Knott stated that she saw a man leave
a hatchet in the Hyde-road, a few minutes after the

affray.
Anne Higgins stated that she found a revolver in
her cellar in Clyde-street, not far from the railway
arch.

This,was the case for the prosecution.
Corcoran, whose identity had been spoken to only
by one witness, as having been seen by the side of
the van, was then discharged.
Mr. Fowler asked if either of the prisoners wished
to call witnesses.

Mr. Cottingham said he would call witnesses on
behalf of Brennan, Patrick Kelly (Galway), and
Wm. and John Martin.
Mr. Bennet said he should call witnesses on be-
half of Michael Kennedy, Michael Maguire, and
Thomas Ryan.

Mr. Ward said he should call witnesses for John
Nugent.

Air. Roberts, in reply to Mr. Fowler, said he
should not call witnesses in behalf of Allen ; but he
should call witnesses in the cases of Shore, Henry
Wilson, William Gould, Thomas Maguire, Hugh
Foley, Patrick Corry, Thomas Scalley, Michael
Boylan, John Carroll, and Chas. Moorhousc.

Mr. Fowler said there :were only two witnesses
against Foley, and he wished to ask whether Mr.
Higgin thought he could support a conviction
against him.
Mr. Higgin said he did not think he could.
Mr. Fowler consequently ordered Foley's dis-
charge.
The remainder of the prisoners were remanded
this morning.

During the evening four more arrests were made
in a vault in Dale-street, Liverpool. The names of
three are John O'Donnell Stoneman, of Manchester,
Daniel Redden, and Joseph Keeley, of Liverpool.
The fourth man was released.

This morning, at the City Police-court, before
Mr. Fowler and a full bench of magistrates, six men,
who have been in custody on remand, charged with
complicity in the Hyde-road outrage, were brought
up. The prisoners' names are Thomas Johnson,
Robert Nugent, William Murphy, Lewis Moore,
Timothy Featherstone, and Daniel Lynch.
Mr. Higgin appeared for the prosecution ; and
Mr. Cottingham, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Ward, and Mr.
Ambler for the defence.

Mr. Cottingham wished, before Mr. Higgin opened
the case, to make an application on behalf of the
prisoners for whom he appeared; and, with the con-
currence of ➢lr. Roberts and Mr. Bennet, on behalf
of the prisoners for whom those gentlemen appeared.
It was stated in the public journals that no tribunal
would be organised for the trial of the prisoners
until the 27th of November, and taking this into
consideration, together with the fact that a proper
and adequate defence of the prisoners was not yet
prepared, he asked for a remand for another week
with respect to the prisoners against whom the pro-
secution was closed.

Mr. Higgin said the present case would be a very
short one.

Mr. Cottingham—Very well. Then, perhaps,
you will dispose of the case for the prosecution, and
remand the new batch for a week.

Mr. Fowler—Certainly not.

Mr. Cottingham—Then I say, on behalf of those
men for whom I and Mr. Roberts and the other
legal gentlemen appear, that we are not prepared
to go into a proper defence at present but that we

PRICE 4d.
STAMPED sd.

shall be so prepared if we are allowed the interval
I have asked for.

Mr. Robcr!s said he was wholly unprepared to do
justice to those men he defended. Ile had only seen
them at eight o'clock that morning, and he had a
list of twenty witnesses, all of whom were at Ashton-
utider-Lyne, and not one of whom he had yet seen
or would be able to see until that evening.

After some further discussion it was understood
that a proper al!owance should be made for the pre-
paration of the case for the defence, so far as the
prisoners then before the court were concerned.
John Mayes said he was a brickburner, and on the
afternoon of the 18th ult. he was in a brickcroft
behind Heywood's paper-mill, near the Hyde-road.
He saw the prison van after it had been stopped,
and could identify the prisoners Moore, Lynch, and
Featherstone as having been present. He believed
Nugent was present, but could not positively swear
to him. Moore threw stones at the broad side of
the van, so also did Lynch. Featherstone stood
near the archway helping to keep the policemen
back. Nugent, if witness was right in his identity,
was near the horses throwing stones.

James Kennedy identified Murphy as being pre-
sent during the outrage.
William Healey identified Featherstone as having
thrown stones during the outrage.
Wm. Freeman, an officer who was following the
van, identified Johnson as having thrown stones.
Joseph Munn, a former witness, was recalled, and
identified Murphy as taking part in the outrage.
Ellen Cooper, a female prisoner, and inmate of
the prison van, who had given evidence in the pre-
vious case, was called into the witness box and her
deposition read over. She identified the prisoner
Johnson as one of the men who was at the van door
when she got out. She did not see him do anything.

At this stage of the proceedings another discussion
ensued between Mr. Fowler and Mr. Roberts, the
latter insisting that it was unjust to expect him to
enter upon the defence of the prisoners not then in
dock as soon as the case for the prosecution was closed
against those then before the court. The character
of the remarks made by Mr. Roberts induced some
hissing from the spectators, which seemed to exas-
perate that gentleman very much. At length it
was decided that the witnesses for the defence
should not be called that day.
The wit ness, Emma Halliday, previously examined,
was recalled, and her deposition having been read
over, she identified the prisoner Johnson as having
been present at the attack on the van, but she did
not see him do anything.

Edwin Walton also added to his former evidence
that he saw the prisoner Murphy among the attack-
ing party throwing stones.
The prisoners Lynch, Moore, and Nugent (the
father of the Nugent brought up in the first ba,te.h)
were here discharged, and the remaining three
prisoners were remanded till to-morrow, when the
defence of the whole will be entered upon.

Several rifle shooting competitions have taken
place in Yorkshire in the course of the past week.
On Baildon-moor, in the West Riding, the 2d Ad-
ministrative Battalion of the West York Rifle Vo-
lunteers shot for prizes amounting to £4O. A con-
tinuous wind and frequent showers prevailed
throughout the day, much to the annoyance of the
shooters, and therefore the scores may be considered
under these unpleasant circumstances as tolerably
good. There were 86 competitors, a few of whom
were prevented by darkness from completing their
number of shots—viz., five at 200, 500, and 600
yards each. Lieut.-Col. Morrison, M.P., Tarn-
house, Malham, was present. The highest prizes
were won by Lieutenant Thwaites, Bradford, £lO,
with 45 points ; and by Sergeant Whitaker,
Guiseley, £7, with 40 points. The 3d Administra-
tive Battalion of the West Riding Volunteers com-
peted for a good list of prizes at Pontefract. The
weather, as at Guiseley, was rather unfavourable,
and hence the scores were not very high. The fol-
lowing were the highest scores for Lieut.-Colonel
Holdsworth'S prizes, at the distances of 200, 500,
and 600 yards :—Private F. G. Duckles, Goole, £5
and gold medal, 32 points; Private G. Duckles,
Goole, £3, 31 points. Several other small numbers
were scored. In another competition at 150 and
300 yards, the following were the highest scores:—
Lance-Corporal Bell, Wakefield, £3, 31 points ;
Private G. Duckles, Goole, £2, 29 points ; Private
T. Whitton, Wakefield, 305., 29 points.
The Scarborough Volunteers have concluded their
contest by shooting for money prizes at 200 yards,
but in a gusty wind. The chief winners were
Privates William Colley, 12 ; John Clarke, 12 ;
and William Bland, 11. An All-comers' Enfield
rifle match has been shot at Hull. The prizes
reached an aggregate of £5O. There were 42 compe-
titors from yarioug darts of the country, and some
