THE FENIAN TRIALS.

On Thursday, just befare Air. Justice Keating
quitted the Bench, at the Old Bailey, James
O'Neill, was placed in the dock.

Mr. Poland said the grand jury had ignored the
bill against the prisoner for murder.
➢lr. Justice Keating said he was not aware of
the fact.

Mr. Poland—The prisoner was one of the per-
sons who was indicted with the Desmonds and
others for wilful murder, arising out of the late ex-
plosion at the llouse of Detention, Clerkenwell.
Mr. Justice Keating—There being no charge
against the prisoner, and upon your recommenda-
tion, Mr. Poland, he can be discharged. Before,
however, he is set at liberty, it had better be seen
whether there was anything alleged against him at
the Coroner's inquest.
It having been ascertained that no other charge
was preferred against the prisoner, the Judge di-
rected him to be set at liberty.
Mr. Poland—It would be a great convenience to
know the day fixed for the trial of the other pri-
soners charged with wilful murder. There are a
great many witnesses, and it would enable them to
attend without difficulty.
The learned Judge said he would state the matter
in a short time. It was eventually arranged that
the Fenian trials should commence on Monday, the
27th inst.

DEATH OF ONE OF THE JAPANESE TROUPE.—The
" top-spinner" of the Japanese troupe, who have to appear
at the Lyceum Theatre on Monday next, died at the house
where they lodge, in Upper Stamford-street, on Wednesday
morning. Ho had been ailing for some considerable
period before he came to England, having first shown
symptoms of failing health at Brussels. He was originally
a very robust, healthy man, apparently about 40 years of
ages. The little girl who is with the troupe, and whose
playful antics on the stage are so amusing, is the daughter
of the deceased performer. Her mother is in Japan, and
it was with the greatest reluctance that the poor woman
was persuaded to allow the child to be taken away from
her.—Pall Nall Gazette.

ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—Mr. and
Mrs. German Reed will partly change their programme
for the Easter holidays. Thu " Quiet Chateau," which
they make highly entertaining by their inimitable acting,
will be retained, but Mr. John Parry comes out with a
new song entitled " A Public Dinner," a subject the scope
of which will enable him to display his humour to the
greatest advantage. In a few weeks, we understand, a
new entertainment from the pen of Mr. F. 0. Burnand
will
replace " Our Quiet Chateau."
HOLIDAYS IN LAW AND EQUITY.—The offices of
the Common Law Courts are closed till Wednesday. On
Saturday the Chancery offices will be opened, and then
closed on Monday and Tuesday next week.
MR. JUSTICE WlLLEs.—Xesterday Mr. Justice
Willes concluded the sittings at the Judges' Chambers,
where he has attended da,ly since the latter part of
February.- '" - -
