THE FENIAN TRIALS.

DUBLIN, Oct. 31.

At the Commission Court yesterday, John War-
ren, one of the Dungarvan prisoners, appeared in
the dock to answer a charge of treason-felony,
having for his counsel Mr. Heron, Q.C., who at
once demanded that his client should be tried as an
alien, and have a jury composed of six Irishmen
and six foreigners. Warren claims the right of
American citivnship, and the Court having decided
against his demand, withdrew his counsel, withdrew
his defence, and expressed his intention of leaving
the entire matter in the hands of the American
Government. The Court refused to allow Mr.
Adair, barrister (who was instructed to appear for
the American Government), to interfere in any
manner with the case, as he was not concerned for
the prisoner; and the Attorney-General then pro-
ceeded with his statement. That portion of it
referring to the intended invasion of this country is
of an interesting character, especially on account of
the novelty of the circumstances detailed in it. He
said:—

John Warren, the prisoner at the bar, was born I
at Cork, in Ireland, of Irish parents. Soma time
before 1862 he emigrated to America, and entered
the military service of the United States. He rose
to the rank of captain, and in 1862, from some un-
explained cause, he was dismissed from the Ameri-
can service. From that time Captain Warren had
been a most prominent member of the Fenian con-
spiracy in America, and in 1865 he was chosen as
the head centre of the brotherhood in the State of
Massachusetts. The news of the occurrences of the
sth March had doubtless reached America about or
before the 12th April last, on which day a party of
40 or 50 officers and privates of the American army
came to New York, and were carried down the river
in a tug boat to a brigantine 200 tons burden, which
had been purchased by one of the party for the pur-
poses of the expedition. In this brigantine the party
embarked, and sailed for Ireland without either
papers or colours. This ship was caned the Jackney,
and the party set sail in it even without any luggage.
He would be able to produce the names and military
rank of all on board both by written and parole evi-
dence. It was hard to reconcile those facts with any
legitimate object, but on their arrival in Ireland 28
were arrested by the Government authorities, and
are now in custody. Amongst them are three men
named Buckley, Nolan, and Mayne, all of whom
would be produced on the table, and would
depose to the circumstances which he was about to
relate. Captain Warren, the prisoner at the bar,
embarked in that brigantine also, and with him
Kavanagh and Kerrigan, the commander of the
expedition, who was at one time a brigadier general
i❑ the United States army, and, moreover, a member
of the American Congress. It will be urged
by- the Crown witnesses that this ship contained

hers, when it accidentally went off and shot two
men on board, named Smith and Nolan. These men
were so seriously wounded that it was deemed ad-
visable to have them sent ashore to hospital. A
man named Nugent accompanied them in one of
the ship's boats, but all three were arrested imme-
diately on their landing. The brigantine was seen
a few days afterwards outside Sligo Bay by Michael
Gallagher, a pilot, who put out in his boat, and
boarded it at the request of some of the men on
deck. They stated they were waiting for the return
of their captain who had gone ashore in their boat ;
that they had a cargo of oranges, and were bound
for Glasgow. They asked him to go down into the
cabin, where he saw the prisoners Warren, Nagle,
and Kavanagh, who threatened to shoot him if he
did not take an oath not to give any description of
them when he went ashore. While he was on board
two men came from shore in a small hooker, namely,
Gen. Burke and Prendergast, who went into the
cabin and had a long conversation with the priso-
ner. Gallagher was allowed to go ashore, and when
he landed he ran as quickly as he could, meeting
two coastguards, who immediately took him under
their protection. No sooner had Gen. Burke left
the Erin's Hope for shore than the men were in-
formed that they could not land at Sligo, and ac-
cordingly they left Sligo Bay and put to sea on May
26, 1867. Councils were then held on board, and
the men were divided as to whether they should
land or return to America. They had by this time
reached Bellevue Point, near Dungarvan, when
they hailed another pilot, named Whelan, who
agreed to take two men ashore for a few pounds,
but while he was on deck 28 of the men rushed into
his boat, and he was obliged to land them a mile or
two below the coastguard station at Dungarvan, in
about three and a half feet of water, so that they
had to wade in the water for a few yards before
they reached land. The prisoner, John Warren,
was of the number so landed. A coastguard per-
ceived the boat approaching and gave information,
the result of which was that most of them were
captured, although on landing they had dispersed in
different directions. The prisoners Warren and
Nagle reached the fannhouse of a man named
Roadie., near Bellevue Point, on the morning of
June 1, and agreed with him to drive them to
Youghid for 5 Bat on crossing the bridge at the
BlierWater they WiFrThtiFs-tiA by Police-constable
Morris. They gave their names as John Donovan
and William Palmer.; they said they had been
out on a fishing excursion, and that their boat had
been burned, and that they were rescued by a fish-
ing smack. They were searched, and documents
were found on Nagle, which, in the absence of

counsel for the prisoner, he (the Attorney-General)
would not read until during the course of the trial;
his lordship would give his opinion as to whether
they were admissible as evidence. The activity of
the police and the coastguard was so great that 26
of the men were arrested 24 hours after the land-
ing. There was not the slightest doubt but that the
expedition was undertaken for Fenian purposes.
What brought these men to Ireland with arms ? If
their intentions were honest, why should they give
false names and accounts of themselves when
arrested ? It was the duty of the jury to weigh
well the evidence, and above all to have a care bow
to receive the evidence of the informers—Buckley,
Nolan, and Mayne—if not corroborated by other
circumstances.

The prisoner said that he took this opportunity
to remark that a cowardly onslaught had been made
by the Attorney-General on his position as captain
in the American service. lie was not dismissed.
The Attorney-General had no information except
from the informer Corydon, and he deemed it most
cowardly.
The Lord Chief Justice—We cannot hear you
now. I advise you to reconsider between this and
to-morrow morning your determination not to
appear by counsel. I speak for your own good.
The court then adjourned.
