(FROM OUR OWN REPORTERS.)
DUBLIN, MONDAY, JAN. 22.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
TIIE QUEEN V. DANIEL O'CONNELL AND OTHERS.
There was yesterday some repose for those imme-
diately connected with the public proceedings of the
Queen's Bench, but private discussions and speculations
were more frequent than on the, days devoted to work.
The trials, it is generally supposed, will not occupy
more than another fortnight, the Crown being likely
to close on Wednesday, at the furthest. The
additional evidence to be brought forward on
the part of the Crown, will consist, I under-
stand of the Repeal cards and other documents, the pub-
lications of the newspapers, and the numbers who at-
tended the various meetings. Has the Attorney-General
no other evidence, is a question asked by every one ?
Why we all knew what has been proved months and
months ago, and yet no one ever dreamt of a conspiracy.
Then comes the question will the jury convict on such evi-
dence? lam informed they will, and that there is scarcely a
chance for the traversers. The moment the jury was
known, the public voice cried conviction.. This in England
would appear strange-7-in Ireland it is quite natural
Given, they say, three men of a certain character as'
judges—twelve Orangemen for a jury, Daniel O'Connell
for a defendant, and, work the problem as you will, an
acquittal cannot be the result. The tone and manner
of some of the judges are bad, the demeanour of the
prosecutor is personal and petulant, the character of the
judges Orange to the full extent of that fearful word.
I have it on good authority, and from more than one per-
son, that the foreman has been often heard to say, previous
to the trial, that O'Connell ought to be hanged 1 One
of the jurymen, Mr. Floyd, is an Englishman by birth,
though a long time in Ireland. He is highly Conserva-
tive, and his business connexion is Conservative ; but
there is just the shadow of 'a hope that, not being an
Irish Orangeman, some of the fair play for which
Englishmen are distinguished may accompany
him into the box. I was speaking this morn-
ing to a gentleman well acquainted with the state
of feeling in Ireland, and on my saying that I
hardly thought it possible the Crown would punish, even
if there was a conviction, his reply was, " No one can say
what Government will do, Sir ; they appear:to be mad;
but I assure you it will take all the influence of O'Con-
nell and the priests to keep the people quiet." I believe
this is a true representation of the case ; but it is curi-
ous to have the peace of Ireland preserved by those who
may be punished—for a conspiracy to disturb it.

SUMMARY of the STATE TRIALS,

The case of the Crown commenced this morning
with the examination of three persons in the employ-
ment of Mr. Holbrook, a lithographic printer and en-
graver, Crow-street. This person was employed to
print many of the documents issued by the Repeal
Association. Among them the cards of the members
and associates, the forms of the awards of arbitrators,
and the deeds of submission to such awards. The latter
documents were stamped, and much of the cross-exami-
nation was directed to eliciting whether this stamp was
affixed by the authority of the Association or not. The
form of the award only was carried at the meeting of
the Association, and the Counsel for the traversers con-
tended that the stamp being part of the document, it
could not be admitted as evidence, unless the whole of it
was proved to be authorised by that body as well as part.
The Court, however, decided', that the document
should be admitted as well as the others.
Between one and two o'clock a little incident occurred
that not only varied the formality of the proceedings,
but exhibited in a striking manner the spirit that ani-
mates the Attorney-General.

The usual Monday meeting of the Repeal Asso-
ciation was announced to .be held at two o'clock.
Mr. W. S. O'Brien, it was stated, would also attend
this meeting. Between one and two Mr. O'Connell and
his son John rose to leave the Court, for the purpose of
proceeding to the Conciliation Hall, when the Attorney-
General stated that he had no objection to the traversers
remaining in the precincts of the Court, but that he
ould not permit them to attend the meeting ; if they
(witted the Court for that purpose, he should call
on the Court to enforce their recognisances. Mr.
O'Connell, of course, did not attend the meet-
ing, but wrote a letter from the Court, which
was read to the meeting, amidst the utmost ex-
citement ; nothing could exceed the indignation of the
assembly at this manifestation of a petty spirit, and the
groans of the meeting "for the Attorney-General" were
tremendous.

In the Court the examination of the witnesses pro-
ceeded as before. A Mr. Macnamara was called to swear
to the speeches delivered at the monster meeting at Tul-
laghmore, of which he took notes, but their authenticity
was much shaken on the cross•examination. The other
two witnesses were an inspector of police, named Stewart,
and Mr. O'Neil Brown, stipendiary magistrate of King's
County. They spoke to details of the management of
the meeting at Tullaghmore. The examination of the
latter had not concluded when the express left.
It is confidently stated that the case for the Crown wil
close tb night, or, at the furthest, to-morrow ; the trials
therefore, will conclude within a much shorter time than
was at first supposed.
There are many rumours in circulation ; among
the last may be stated (though we cannot vouch
for it) one, that two of the jurors are likely
to differ materially from the others as to the ex-
tent to which the evidence has supported the indictment;
the other is, that the Government, already certain of a
conviction, is preparing Carrickfergus Castle for the re•
silence of the Liberator and his companions. This re-
port may be considered as rather more improbable than
the first one.
