was returned from the barrack The insurgents
obtained possession of the b arracks. One .of
the constables was shot cls use by my side.
The insurgents then took the arms away
from the barracks, and on a p%rley it was arranged
that if the ammunition was gil*en up to the insur-
gents the constables that were the prisoners to the
insurgents would be given UP- This was done, and
myself and others then alio% Ted to enter the barracks

John MorrisslT—l am one of the Irish consta-
bulary, stationed at Cork. On the morning of the
22.1 of .November,• 1866, I -w is on duty whilst the
Halcyon was lying off. She 'lad arrived from Liver-
pool the night before. I eLw a case brought from
the hold of the vessel. It was addressed " John
Daley and Co., 85, Grnmil-parade, Cork." I had
the case place 4 on one: side, and I then fet?le(l
Courtney, my brother , onstable, and th:'n went
the stu. . This c ise as opened in my presence,
and it was found to cmtaio rifLs which were well
packed, the stocks at each end of the case, the
barrels in the centre. Constable Courtney
then went for Mr. Hamilton, who, on his arrival,
examined the case. I took one of the rifles out
and handed it to Mr. Hamilton, who examined it,
and then it was replaced, and the case fastened up.
A second case was afterwards lauded from the
Halcyon, but that was not opened in my presence.
I afterwards saw that case, and the one that had
been opened to him in custody of I\ll. Hamilton.
Courtney—l am in the Irish constabulary. Oa
the 22d of November, 1866, the last witness
called my attention to certain cases which had
arrived on board the Halcyon from Liverpool. I
went to Mr. Hamilton, afterwards to the Mayor
of Cork, and when I returned I returned I saw
Mr. Hamilton take one of the rifles out of the case
and mark it. Both cases were then sent to Haul-
bowline.
Mr. Giffard—That is all the evidence I intend to
call to-day.

Mr Merriman said—As I do not wish to em-
barrass the prosecution, I will furnish the solicitor
of the Treasury with a list of all the witnesses it
was intended to cross-examine. I wish at this point
of the case to make one or two observations with
respect to the position I am now placed in.
Sir T. Henry—That is perfectly well understood.
Counsel had retired, and of course his place had to
be filled, and you now stand in that place. I think
you had better refrain from any remarks at the
present stage of the case.
Mr. Merriman—lt is but one remark.

Sir T. Henry—l must stop you ; there will be
every facility given to the counsel to say anything
in your behalf, as well as your client's.
Mr. Merriman—At all events allow me to say
that I appear solely for the two prisoners now in
court, and not in anywise for other persons whose
acts the prisoners now again most solemnly

Mr. Merriman asked that he might be furnished
with a copy of the depositions.
Sir Thos. Henry said he had no power to grant
copies of depositions until the case was closed, but
he (Mr. Merriman) would find all his purposes
served by referring to the newspaper reports, which
were perfectly accurate.
The prisoners were then remanded.
