THE CLERKENWELL UUERAGE.

DOW-STREET-THIS DAY.

William and Timothy Desmond, Nicholas Eng-

lish, James O'Neill, John O'Keefe, Nichael.Bar-
rett, and Anno Justice, were again placed at the
bar, before Sir Thos. Henry, on a charge of wilful
murder.

Mr. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr. Poland appeared for
he prosecution.

Sir T. Henry—You have closed your case for the
prosecution, Mr. Gifford ?
Mr. Giffard—Yes, sir.

Mr. Lewis said that on behalf of the prisoners
O'Keefe, Barrett, and Justice be should not make
any observations at present, preferring to reserve
their defence. But to his mind the case of O'Neill
seemed somewhat different. On the last occasion
the learned chief magistrate was kind enough, with
the consent of the learned counsel for the Crown,
to postpone the committal, in order to give him an
opportunity of calling witnesses for O'Neill. Ile
was ❑ot, however, about to call those witness.s:s, for

the simple reason that the poverty of O'Neill pre-
vented Mai from bringing them up from Glas-
gow, where they all resided. But the case
against O'Neill was so slight that he felt
that he should not be doing his duty if he did not
remark upon it. O'Neill was charged with wilful
murder—not with treason felony ; but even if
it had been the latter offence, he should have been
prepared to contend that the evidence negatived it.
Massey, Corydon, and all the approvers, had been
evidence, and not one question bad been put to
either of them about O'Neill. Ho surely had a right
to assume this if they had known him. The ques-
tion would have been put to them, awl as it had
not been put, it could only be because he was
not known to them. However, he had not
to deal with that question. Now, even if O'Neill
was a Fenian. What he had to consider was, what
was the evidence against him on the charge of mur-
der? The only evidence against him was that of
the witness Young, who first identified Wm. Des-
mond as the man who fired the barrel, and when
afterwards O'Neill was brought to this court he
suddenly turned round and said that was the man.
But very much stronger, in his opinion, was the
negative evidence, and on this point he could not
do better than quote the observation of Mr. Giffard
at the last examination, when speaking with refer-
ence to the prisoner Allen, that the fact of his being
unknown to Mullauy rendered it difficult to believe
that he bad been concerned in the plot. That
was a conclusion in which many agree, but it
derived additional weight when coming from the
learned counsel for the Crown. Now, with regard

to O'Neill, it was not merely that Mullany did not
say he knew him, but on being asked the question
by him (Mr. Lewis) he distinctly said that he did
not know O'Neill, and that he had never seen or
heard of him before. This went to show that the
case against O'Neill was one of mistaken identity.
He considered, indeed, that when the prisoner was
taken in Glasgow it was the duty of the police to
have made inquiries at once on the spot, when they
would have found what he was doing and where
he was employed the day before and for several
days after the date of the explosion, which would
have been conclusive evidence to them that he could
not have been concerned in that outrage.
Sir Thomas Henry said it was irregular for Mr.
Lewis to state what he alleged that he could prove,
if he was not about to call witnesses to prove it.
Mr. Lewis thought it was fair matter of com-
ment. _

Sir Thomas Henry—l think not.
Mr. Lewis said, at all events, he was entitled to
urge the force of the negative evidence, and to com-
plain that he had been subjected to the suffering he
must have undergone, knowing himself to be inno-
cent, and being dragged away from his family and
friends and remanded to prison from week to week.
Mr. Harper, who appeared for the Desmonds and
English, said they would reserve thtir defence.
Sir T. Henry—The case against the prisoners
must be submitted to a jury.
Mr. Lewis applied for the admission of O'Neil
to bail.

Sir T. Henry refused.
The several witnesses were called, and bound over
to appear at the sessions for prosecution in the sum
of £lOO.
The prisoners were all committed for trial.

hand, she was prevented from carry in her threat

to execution.

The husband of the prisoner to-day attended,
and promised to take care of her, and of ter receir-
ing some good advice from the magistrat e she was
discharged.

In the next case John Hayes, a young man,
through some words with his father, attempted to
take his life by tying a pocket handkerchief so
tightly round his throat that it was obliged to be
taken off piecemeal.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he hoped the young man by
that time, after being spoken to by title chalalain of
the House of Detention, was fully aware that ho
had been guilty of a great offence.

The defend nit, having expressed his contrition,
was handed over to his father.

DARING HIGHWAYROBBERY. —William Seymour,
a rough-looking youth, about 17 years of age, was
brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing
a watch and chain, valued at £2O, from Dr. John
Budgett, a physician and surgeon, of the Commer-
cial-road, and Backehureh-lane, Whiteche pel.
Last night, at ha:f-past 8 o'clock, Dr. Budgett
was passing along the Commercial-road, on the
south sidA, when the prisoner dashed upon him,
made a snatch at his watch and chain, aad fled down
a Sark and narrow passage, called London-terrace.
Dr. Budgett followed him, and missed him all at
once. Dr. Budgett scraped his feet along the
ground, and at last came in contact with the pri-
soner, who was on the ground, and dragged hitt, out
of the court. The thieves and such characters dwel-
ling in London-terrace, the most disreputable hole
in the parish of St. George-in-the-East, where he
attacked the doctor, hustled him, and made an at-
tempt to rescue th.:3 prisoner. Dr. Bridgett, who
displayed great courage, retained his hold of the
prisoner against overwhelming odds, until a police
constable named John Nightingale arrived, who
succeeded in apprehending the prisoner, and lodged
him in the station house. Nightingale said he was
not on duty last night. Ile was passing along the
Cannon-street-road in plain clothes with his wife,
when he heard the cry of police and murder, and
repaired to the spot at once. The doctor and the
prisoner were surrounded by a lot of roughs, black-
guards, loose women, and thieves, who made a des-
perate effort to rescue the prisoner.
Mr. Benson said he had heard of the bad charac-
ter of London-terrace before.
The prisoner said he did not commit the robbery,
and that a woman came to the station-house and
said he did not do it.
Nightingale said that a woman did come to the
station-house and say the prisoner was not the man
who committed the robbery.
Mr. Benson said as the name and address of the
woman was known she must be summoned to at-
tend and gire evidence, and for that purpose he
would adjourn the case until to-morrow. lie was
very sorry that a daring outrage and robbery should
have been perpetrated in a public road. lie re-
manded the prisoner until to-morrow.
