Mr. Ennis, on the part of the prisoner, said—

The prisoner is most respectably connected, and he is
surrounded here by a number of friends. Ho holds a most
respectable situation. Every one who has heard the par-
ticulars of this melancholy case must be convinced that what
occurred was through accident. No one regrets what hap-
pened more than the prisoner himself. He was on the most
friendly terms with Mr. Byers. They never had a word of
dispute, and the last thing the prisoner would do would be
to injure Mr. Byers; and, as I have said, the whole affair
was an accident. I would ask your worship, under the
circumstances, to accept bail, which can be given to any
amount. With respect to the arms in the prisoner's posses-
sion, ho had a licence to carry them. lam very happy to
hear that Mr. Byers is improving; the account of his state
is favourable, and if he was hero himself I dare say he
would express his firm belief that it was an accident and
nothing else, and that the prisoner never harboured the
slightest intention of hurting or harming him.
The case was remanded till to-day. Byers is
said to be likely to recover.

On Saturday night a guard, consisting of one
captain, one ,subaltern, and 150 men of the Ist bat-
talion of the Bth Foot, was sent to Mountjoy Prison
to do duty over the prisoners apprehended in various
parts of the town and suburbs. The sth Dragoon
Guards on Saturday night furnished several escorts
to accompany the police in removing prisoners from
the different police stations to Kilmainham and
Mountjoy Prisons. The whole of the troops in
garrison not on duty were confined to quarters and
held in readiness to turn out at any moment during
Saturday night, a portion of the cavalry being kept
ready saddled ; and part of each regiment of in-
fantry were kept under arms the whole night, and
during yesterday and last night each regiment kept
in readiness an unusually strong inlying picket,
and the number of sentinels in each barrack has
been greatly increased. A reinforcement of 2,000
men to the army in this country is hourly expected
from England, which will on arrival be despatched
to :different parts of the country, mostly to the
south, for conveying which express trains are in
waiting at the King's-bridge terminus. At the Pigeon-
house and Magazine forts increased precautions
have been taken, at the former in particular, no
