DUBLIN, Aug. 29.

An investigation was commenced yesterday, in
the Court-house of Granard, into the charge pre-
ferred against 42 persons belonging to the town for
an alleged violent and unprovoked assault upon the
Rev. W. G. Campbell, Wesleyan minister, on July
30. Mr. F. Lemoral, Crown solicitor for the county
of Longford, appeared on behalf of the Crown ;
Mr. W. M'Laughlin appeared on the part of the Rev.
Mr. Campbell, and to watch the case on behalf of
the Wesleyan Missionary Society of Ireland. Mr.
Curtis appeared for the defendants. Shortly after
the rev. gentleman commenced to give his evidence
he was interrupted by loud shouts of derisive yells.
The magistrates threatened to clear the court if these
demonstrations were continued, and during the re-
mainder of the proceedings the audience conducted
themselves quietly. The Rev. Mr. Campbell arrived
at Granard at three o'clock on the day in question,
on his way from Cavan to Athlone. He was driving
in his own gig. The head-constable walked with
him to the head of the town, and he was about to
bid the constable good-bye when a woman came up
and said, "Youknow the way you came—you have
been here before." Immediately a number of persons
gathered round the gig, and indulged in groans and
gestures of a threatening character. He thought it
right to go back to the police barracks, and he did
so, followed byithe crowd, which increased consi-
derably. They hooted and groaned him, greeted
him with cries of " Garibaldi," " Old Devil,"
" Antichrist," and wished to send him to hell. He
remained an hour in the barracks, and on leaving
was followed by the mob, which numbered 400
persons. The police distributed themselves about
the gig and protected him. When about a quar-
ter of a mile from the town, the police attempted
to arrest an individual, and the crowd interfered.
He then started, left the crowd, and endea-
voured to escape, when he was assailed with vol-
le3 s of stones, and his head severely cut, besides
being struck in several parts of the body. He made
his way with difficulty to Mr. Kelly's, of Kilcourcy,
where his wounds were dressed by a member of that
family. On cross-examination, it was endeavoured
to show that Mr. Campbell was obnoxious to the
people of Granard for having preached there on a
former occasion, when he was also attacked. lie
denied that he gave any provocation to the people
on this occasion. The police corroborated Mr.
Campbell's evidence, and identified several of the
prisoners. The case was not concluded when the
reports of the proceedings were forwarded to the
Dublin newspapers. _ _

The warrant appointing Mr. Chatterton Vice-
Chancellor and Mr. Warren, Attorney-General for
Ireland, arrived in town yesterday. The Irish
Times complains that Mr. Chatterton insists upon
the appointment of his nominee—Mr. Michael Har-
rison—to the Solicitor-Generalship, vacated by the
promotion of Mr. Warren. The 7imes protests
against this course on the part of Mr. Chatterton,
observing that he ought to be content with what he
has got, without attempting to dictate to the Go-
vernment. The Evening Mail and Saunders's News
Letter hold similar language. It is understood,
however, that the claims of Mr. Harrison are
strongly urged by Lord Cairns, who is a connection
of the learned gentleman.
The funeral of the late lamented Lord Dunkellin
took place yesterday at Athenry. The body ar-
rived in Dublin yesterday morning, and was con-
veyed by special train to Athenry, where an immense
concourse of people had assembled in the vicinity of
the railway station.
