TEE FENIAN ARRESTS 11V DEP7FORD.

At the Greenwich Police. Court, to-day, Maurice
Lyttelton, Florence Macarthy, and James Richard-
son, were further examined, charged with attempt-
ing to administer a Fenian oath to one Jame,
Boutell, an American citizen, with the view of in-
ducing him to commit treason-felony.

Mr. Wontner, jun., prosecuted on bzhalf of the
Crown; Mr. Willis defended the prisoners Lyttel-
ton and Macarthy ; and Mr. Pulling the prisoner
Richardson.

The prisoner Lyttelton said—l wish to pass a
remark, your worship, which is that I think it a
very unsightly thing that we should be brought into
court without a pint of water to wash ourselves or a
comb even to smooth our hair. At Maidstone we
are fed like swine and treated like oxen.

Mr. Maude—The visiting justices are the per-
sons to whom representations of that kind should
be made.

Lyttelton—Well, sir, it seems as if England was
prostituting her vaunted liberties in the prosecution
of her Irish subjects.

Police-constable Yardley, 228 R, examined by
11Ir. Wontner, said—l have known Lyttelton eight
weeks. On the night of the 22d of December 1
saw him with three other men at the bar of the
Boar's Head public-house.

Mr. \Vontner—Tell us what occurred on the
night of the 22d of December ?
Witness continued—Upon leaving the Boar's
Head Lyttelton and three men turned down King-
street. Two of the men went on, and one re-
mained with Lyttelton, who put his hand upon that
man's shoulder, and said, " You know now what you
are, and what you have to do." He replied, " Yes,
Maurice, I know I am a Fenian, and stand
by you.' After other conversation they went into
the Rodney public-house, where they remained
some time. Upon leaving Lyttelton one of the
men knocked at a shop door. The witness then
proceeded to detail the movements of the two men,
all Of which was stated by the witness Ling last
week. He corroborated all that officer had stated.

Cross-examined by Mr. Willis—Witness heard
the conversation of the men as he stood behind the
bricks. The conversation ►vas all in broken Irish.
Mr. Willis—Well, tell us now what they said.—
Witness—l have told you.

Mr. Willis—No, you haven't told a word of Irish.
—Witness—Oh, yes, I have.
Mr. Maude—No, you have not. You have told
us all in English.
Mr. Willis—Well, did you hear the word " shive-
reens?"--Witness—Yes, " shivereens" or "smithe-
reens."
Mr. Willis—Well, I will ask you one more ques-
tion. Are you still in the police ?—Witness—l
am.
Mr. Willis—Were you not once dismissed ?
—Witness—No, I left to benefit myself. I will
swear I was not dismissed because I trumped up a
case against a respectable man, the bill of which
was thrown out.
Re-examined by Mr. Wontner—When I said
the men were talking in Irish I meant broken Irish.
I will swear that I left the force to benefit _ my-
self, and that I sent in my resignation in the usual
way.
Charles Digby said he was inspector of the R
division, and was in charge of the Deptford po-
lice-station. He remembered the Sunday even-
ing 19th January. From information he received
he went to the prisoner ITCarthy's house at five
o'clock the next morning. APCarthy came out
of his house about half-past seven. He bad
known him before as a labourer in Deptford
Dockyard. Witness went up to him and said,
" I believe your name is Florence M'Carthy ?"
He replied, " That's my name." Witness said, " I
believe you were in company with Lyttelton
and others yesterday afternoon when an illegal
oath was administered, first to a man named
O'Leary, and then by O'Leary to a man named
jemes Boutall. prisoner replied, " Yes, I was."
Witnesf3 then paid, " I nut request you to go to
