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 formidable
dimension ; but, had the prisoners b.:en 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 elle 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 bLune, 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
his 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 full
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 irre,plar force at all likely to be brought
against it. A body of dragoons preceded the van,
and au 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 o❑ 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 ident. tied Nugent and Ryan,
the former as having been engaged 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
Win. and Johu 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.
Mr. 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. Moorhouse.
Mr. Fowler said there were only two witnesses
against Foley, and he wished to ask whether Mr.
Iliggia 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. Iliggin appeared for the prosecution ; and
Mr. Cottingham, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Ward, and Mr.
Ambler for the defence.
Mr. Cottingliam wished, before Mr. Iliggin opened
the case, to make an application on behalf of the
prisoners for whom he appeared; and, with the con-
currence of Mr. Roberts and Mr. Bennet, on behalf
of the prisoners for whom those gentlemen appeared.
It was state I 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
