THE STATE TRIALS.
DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVE/15C-1
The Judges having taken their seats at eleven °oo°,,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL rose and said--In this t
it was not necessary for him to trespass ur'gt°'
Lordships at any great length; for, ncitwithstandinb, jS
time occupied in the discussion of that motion%t
genuity and the labour which was displayed, Irlee,
port of it—with great respect to his Learneo, to
Sir Colman O'Loghlen—he might be allowed set
that many of the propositions which had
laid down, the observations made, and the e"; 000,1
ties he cited, were, in his humble judgment' Tir
inapplicable to the motion before the Court.,,, 1/11
was a motion for their Lordships to te*trose:„
strong step of arresting the judgment, upon the toy
that no indictable offence was declared upon txurittir,
of the indictment. When that motion Was
nounced he owned he felt somewhat curious tioblr,
what were the grounds upon which their 11°,4
would be called upon to arrest the judgmentio
was still more surprised at some of the argumen-aisf
in support of the motion. He did not mean to 0111
this proposition—that, looking at the indictment'.ol/
Court saw—notwithstanding the verdict the(itooll
that no crime had been committed, it would b. afloat
the right, but the duty of the Court, not to told 'of
judgment upon that record. Therefore he b"-
not question the right of the parties as to the tell
making that motion. The two main greundsdie;
upon were—first, the caption; and, secondly' ip
dictment itself. With respect to the first, he time
he should not be obliged to occupy much yeesro
disproving it. He did not think the 01. ;
Counsel trusted very much to that gr°ll of ,
the only authority he cited in favour orof
was the " Queen v. Dan," in Moody's Crotissitio
