for the county of Mayo. The preliminary process
for the selection of the jury has been gone through.
Forty-eight names have been drawn by ballot from
the special jury list of the county of Dublin, from
which list will be chosen the 12 destined to decide
the final issue. In the Queen's Bench yesterday
Mr. Lawson, on the part of the Crown, asked the
Court to fix a day for the trial of the Reverend
Mr. Conway ; the other side had been served with
notice, and the Crown had not heard whether
they had any objection to make. Monday, the
15th of February next, was the day which, sub-
ject to the convenience of the Court, it was pro-
posed on behalf of the Crown to name as that
on which the ease should he tried. The Chief -
Justice said he believed the list of records for the
after sittings would be heavy, but he would con-
sult his Registrar in reference to them ; and if
the matter were mentioned on the following morn-
ing he would be better able to fix a day. In the
meantime the Court suggested that the other side
should be served with notice. Mr. Lawson having
intimated that this step had been already taken the
subject dropped.
