DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING.
THE MURDER OF M.L. LITTLE.

The anxiously expected trial of James Spollen,
the railway servant, charged with the brutal murder
of Mr. George Samuel Little, in November, last, at
the Broadstone terminus, commenced this morning
at 10 past 11. Chief Justices Lefroy and Monahan
took their seats upon the bench, when the Clerk of
th€ Crown directed the prisoner to be produced.
He walked up the steps leading to the dock with
great deliberation. No visible change has taken
place in his exterior except in dress ; the white
haragon jacket which he wore hitherto has been ex-
changed for a n6at blue frock coat. His gaze.sel-
dom wandered from the bench, but when theory
were being called he scrutinised each gentleman
closely as his name was announced. _

Spollen's counsel exercised the right of challenge
to 19 jurors. The Crown set aside five gentlemen.
The jury having been impanelled, the Clerk of
the Crown gave the prisoner in charge on the in-
dictment for the murder.
The Attorney-General then in an able address,
which occupied three hours in the delivery, stated
the case for the prosecution. In the course of his
speech the learned gentleman called attention to
the incidents connected with the draining of the
canal and the weapons which would be produced
to the jury. The larger of the hammers would be
found to have read lead imbedded in the interstices
of the wood at the head ; this was the one recovered
in the canal. The other had been used by Spollen's
children in driving nails and for household pur-
poses, and they would give evidence to the fact that
it had been taken frOm them. It was now smeared
with red lead, as if to convey the impression that
it was the hammer regularly used by iihe prisoner ;
and it has not been in the children's possession since
the murder. Alluding to the discovery of the money
after the arrest of Spoller, the Attorney-General
said that a witness would prove that the dam in the
privy could easily be stopped, and whoever placed
the money there, if he did not wished to be splashed,
would stop the dam ; and this witness would swear
that after the murder the dam was out of order
frequently on Saturday evenings, that it was stopped
by human hands, and that since Spollen's arrest it
had not been stopped.
A great number of witnesses were examined for
the Crown, but the evidence scarcely varied, at
least in any material respect, from that given at
the police investigation.
It is almost doubtful whether the case for the
prosecution will be brought to a conclusion before
Monday.
