EXAMINATION OP THE FENIAN COL
BURKE AND CASEY.

BOW-STREET--THIS DAY.

The further examination of Colonel Burke, Theo-
bald Casey, and Henry Shaw, alias Mulady, was
proceeded with to-day before Sir T. Henry.
The police arrangements in the neighbourhood of
the court were again further strengthened to-day
by a double line of constables being placed both
above and below the entrance to the police-court.
The constables in the interior of the court, and
about the dock in which the three prisoners were
standing, were each armed with a loaded revolver,
which they carried openly in their hands.
Mr. Gifford, Q.C., and Mr. Poland appeared on
the part of the Crown to prosecute. Mr. M'Donali,
in the unavoidable absence of Mr. Torr, appeared
for Burke, and. Mr. Lewis for Casey and Shaw.
The first witness examined was,

Henry Fisher, a shipping clerk, who said—l was
formerly in the employ of the railway company at
Curzon-street Railway Station, Birmingham. I
was so employed on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of De-
cember, 1866. I loaded certain goods, and knew
them by the figures on them. The cases spoken
to by the witness were those containing the En-
field rifles purchased by Burke of Mr. Kylock. The
prisoner Shaw brought the goods to be shipped.
Mr. Lewis—You are now speaking as to your
belief ?

'Witness—That is the man that brought the
goods to me.
Mr. Giffard—l now propose that the depositions
taken against Burke and Casey be read, in order
that they may be taken as against Shaw.
The evidence of Massey, the approver, and the
other witnesses was then read, but neither Mr.
M‘Donald nor Mr. Lewis asked any questions in
cross-examination on the part of the prisoners.
Mr. Lewis asked that Corydon might be recalled
as he wished to ask him a question or two. His
reason for doing so was that he (Mr. Lewis) was
not instructed when he was first examined.
Sir T. Henry—Certainly ; let him come into the
box.

Mr. Lewis—Have you given any evidence against
Shaw in Ireland ?

Corydon—No. I identified him as Mulady in
gaol.
Mr. Lewis—Have you sworn anything against
him ?

Corydou—No ; he was not tried there.
Mr-Lewis—l know that. Have you sworn any
information against him ?
Corydon—No. He was arrested in March. The
prisoner registered his name as Henry Shaw.
Sir T. Henry—Where?
Corydon—ln Ireland. He was arrested the day
after the rising. I saw bim in Kilmainham Gaol.

The names of the witnesses who have given evi-
dence, amounting to 35, were then called over, and
each having answered,
Mr. Giffard said, on the evidence adduced, he
had now to ask that the prisoners be committed for
trial on a charge of treason-felony, and as the acts
proved had extended to various parts of England
and Ireland, yet as the principal overt act, and
the foundation of the substantial case against Burke
was the purchase of arms at Birmingham, he should
ask for the committal of the prisoners to take their
trial at the next assizes to be held at the county of
Warwick.

Sir T. Henry—Yes ; I think that Warwick is the
proper venue.
Mr. Macdonald—l don't rise to oppose, although
I think that Burke would receive a fairer trial in
London. The trial at Warwick cannot take place-
for at least two months, and it was a great hard-
ship for Burke to be detained for so long a time,
especially as he had already been in prison for eight
weeks. You, Sir Thomas, have the power to com-
mit them for trial in London.

Sir T. Henry—Yes, I know that, and I think I
exercise a proper discretion, as the principal overt
act took place in Birmingham, in sending the pri-
soner for trial,at WarwL;k.
Mr. Lewis—The effect of such a proceeding on
Casey and Shaw would be to greatly augment the
expenses of the trial. They, intend to call a large
number of witnesses.
•

Sir T. Henry—There is a provision for that
Dow.

Mr. Lewis—There is the expense of sending
counsel so far.

Sir T. Henry—That I cannot help; the chief
witnesses come from Warwick.

Mr. M'Donald—There are witnesses from a great
many places.
Sir T. Henry—l am quite aware of that, but
they must be remitted to Warwick Gaol, for trial
at the Spring Assizes, and I direct that all the
witnesses be bound over in the sum of £lOO to at-
tend and give evidence at the trial.
Mr. Lewis—Will you allow me, Sir Thomas, to
remind you that Casey was at first only charged
with the assault on the police officer, and—
Sir T. Henry—lt is perfectly useless to repeat
the application for bail. I cannot take bail in such
a case as this. It is right that I should ask you,
Mr. M'Donald, whether you wish to call any wit-
nesses?

Mr. M'Donald—l understand that there are a
great number of witnesses, but I do not propose to
call them now, as I feel nothing would induce you,
sir, to alter your decision of committing the pri-
soner for trial.

Sir T. Henry—No, you are quite right upon that
point.
The prisoners were then removed from the dock
closely guarded by police.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SINGULAR CASE.—Charles Becknell, a strange-
looking man, was charged before Mr. Knox with
being drunk and disorderly.

Police-constable Timberlake, 129 A R, said that
on the previous evening he saw the prisoner, who
was drunk, following a gentleman in Green-street,
Leicester-square, and annoying him, and he then
took him into custody.
The prisoner said he wa3 acquainted with
Inspector Thompson and the police at Scot-
land-yard, and had been ordered to arrest
a General connected with the Fenians, and be-
cause he had not done so he was told that he
would be charged as a Fenian. le asked the con-
stable to assist him in arresting the General, and
the constable refused to do s), and on his. telling
the constable that he would report him to Sir
Richard Mayne, he made the present charge against
him.

Mr. Knox said he did not believe that the Pri-
soner was employed in any such way as he stated.
The prisoner said that if the magistrate doubted
it, he could ask the Secretary of State.
Mr. Knox said that he should not think of
troubling the Secretary of State in such a matter,
and if the prisoner had any complaint to make
against the constable he could report him, and he
should have his name for the purpose.
Sergeant Shillingford, 4 C, said that when he
went to put the prisoner iu the cell, he said, " You
are not going to put handcuffs on me. You will
have to put me in a madhouse before that. You
can't do it, because I belong to the United States
Federal Army, and I am in England now."
Mr. Knox asked the sergeant whether he thought
the prisoner was in his right mind ?
Sergeant Shillingford said he believed he was, but
he bad been drinking.
Mr. Knox asked what was the prisoner's conduct
in the cell ?

Sergeant Shillingford said that while in the cell
ne talked all the time to himself.
Mr. Knox asked the prisoner whether he could
refer to auy one who knew him.
The prisoner said that he had been employed by
a person in Chancery-lane as a process server.
Mr. Knox said that if the prisoner's statement
had been such as to have justified him in think-
ing that he was not in a sane state of mind, he
would have committed him to the House of Deten-
tion that he might be examined by the doctor. lie
would deal with the case as an ordinary case of
drunk and disorderly conduct.
The prisoner said he was neither drunk nor dis-
orderly.
Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 103. or seven days,
and as the prisoner was leaving the court he said he
was simply doing her Majesty's duty by the Secre-
tary of State's orders.
