On the Grand Jury being sworn,
Mr. Justice DALY Ckargea them is a very few
words, observing, that the intimate knowledge they
possessed of the various duties attaching to the im-

portant trust with which they were just invested,
from the circumstance of many of them having be-
fore been Members of the Grand Inquests of their
county, coupled with their high and independent
characters, rendered it unnecessary for him to address
them at any length. His Lordship then referred to
the Calendar before him, and the Grand Jury re-
tired, taking with them the several Bills of Indict-
ment presented.
Within a qua; ter of three o'clock, MICHAEL OWENS,
DANIEL WARINIC6aIId DOROTHEA REYNOLDS. were
sworn in Court, in order to be examined before the
Grand Jury as witnesses against Mr. O'Coastott.
The Bills being found,
At half-past four o'clock, Mr. O'Commit was con-
ducted from the gaol to the Court, by the High She-
riff; Sir FRANCIS &WHITT, and Mr. O'Comion's
eldest son, walking arm in arm with him. Mr.
O'CoNziott was put into the dock, and immediately
went up to the Bar. Sir FRANCIS Buntinv and Mr.
O'Coxson's son sat at the Traverser's bar, in front
of the dock, it being cleared for them by the High
Sheriff ; the Court was crowded to excess ; and from
the moment Mr. O'Comma made his appearance,
until he withdrew, the most respectful silence pre-
vailed. He was dressed in blue, and looked ex-
tremely well ; his deportment was dignified, he bad I
a smile on his.coantenance daring the entire time,
, and from the bar saluted some Gentlemen in Court.
MARTIN WKNON, an accomplice in the alledged
felony, was also placed in the Dock. The indict-
ments were not ready ; and after Mr. O'Coation had
stood for upwards of half an hour at the bar, the
Sub-Sheriff handed a chair the Dock, when Mr.
O'CONNoR sat down at 10 minutes past 5 o'clock.
Mr. OeCosima and MARTIN M'KEON were called
to the bar, when
Mr. RICKEY, Clerk of the Crown, read the Indict-
alents, which were to the following effect

The indictment being read, Mr. RICKEY, the Clerk
of the Crown, asked the prisoners individually, whe-
ther be was guilty or not ?
Mr. O'CONNOR emphatically replied, " I am not,
Sir."
M4l{Eow answered, not guilty.

They were then asked if they were ready for their
trial? and answering in the affirmative, it was fixed,
by consent of both parties, for nine o'clock to-morrow
morning (Tuesday).
Previously to Mr. O'Confron's retiring from Court,
Mr. BENNEIT, a. one of his Counsel, after a few mo•
rents conversation with him, addressed the Learned
Judge to the following effects'
" My Lord, from my knowledge of your Lord-
ship's character, and the characters of my Learned
Brethren opposed to me, I can well anticipate a
perfect acquiescence in the application which I now
beg leave to snake to your Lordship. I have to en-
treat your Lordship's permission that Mr. O'Connor
may be allowed to take a seat amongst his Counsel
and friends. My Lord, I make this application upon
two grounds ; the first, the presence of a distin-
guished stranger, who attends this most extraordi-
nary trial, and who is desirous, during its confirm-
anci., to be in communication with Mr. O'Connor.
—The next ground upon which I would claim this
indulgence of your Lordship, arises from the circum-
stance of the extreme fatigue of standing to Mr.
O'Connor, weakened by confinement, during the
proceedings, 'which are not likely to be closed for a
considerable time. Your Lordship might have per-
&vet!, chit when your Lordship was pleased to di-
rect a chair to be placed in the dock, Mr. O'Connor
could not be seen by either your Lordship or- his
Counsel, nor could he, without rising, and great in-
convenience, communicate with them. Mr. O'Con-
nor's defence, my Lord, will be, as I apprehend, of
considerable length ; and if your Lordship should not
accord him this indulgence, he must, on sitting in the
dock, from excessive weakneu pod fatigue during
the trial, become invisible to the Court and to the'
Jury's and, I submit it to your Lordship, it is fitting
he should be seen by them, and have himself the ad-
vantage of seeing both."—Mr. Bennet concluded by
observing that this accommodation had, on a variety
of occasions, been granted on state and other trials
in England and in this country.
His Lordship was pleased to grant the request.
Serjeant Jens would not, of course, oppose it.
Owens, one of the witnesses, was under sentenceof
death in Kilmainhkm. Wiring is an approver, whose
brother was hanged for the mail coach robbery ; and
Dorothea Reynolds was to servant to Mr. O'Connos. •

SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.
TRIM, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5.

At half-past five o'clock on the evening of Friday
last, Sir FRANCIS Buitnirrr, accompanied by Cap•
tain BUTLER, of the 35th Regiment, arrived at Trim,
in a post-chaise and four, attended by two servants.
Immediately alighting at the prison, they were
shewn to the apartment in which Mr. O'Colmost had
been lodged a short time previous, and which was
prepared, with much good feeling and consideration,
for his reception. A crowd of persons collected
round the entrance to the gaol on the quality of the
visitors being ascertained, and ih a few minutes the
news of the arrival of these distinguished persons
spread, with more than ordinary rapidity, and drew
into the town a vast concourse of people, anxious for
a view of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT.

The interview between this celebrated personage
and Mr. O'Conwon, was transient to the observation
of our correspondents ; but we learn it was such, as,
from the intimacy of the friends, we may suppose it
to have been. Sir FRANCIS continued for a conside-
rable time with Mr. O'Cormost, and near to twilight
walked for a few moments through the town, and
again returned to the prison. He bleeps at the inn,
but breakfasts and dines with Mr. O'Consort.

On Saturday and Sunday the town was completely
inandated by arrivals, from Dublin and the sur-
rounding counties, many of them personages of
distinction and political notoriety. Sir FRAI4C23
BURDETT, from the anxiety which was/manifested in
all to see him, seemed to be as much the object of
attraction, as the trial of Mr. O'CouNoll. The
charges for accommodation, from the continued in-
gress of visitors, at length became so extravagantly
high, that two guineas were, in some cases, consi
dered comparatively reasonable terms for a bed.—
The Gentlemen's seats contiguous to Trim were
occupied by crowds of friends; and, from the most
splendid mansion to the humblest hut, so great was
the pre.occtipation, that scarcely bed or board was
to be had.

Mr. O'CoNsow's spirits do not appear to be much
affected by the painfulness of his situation. He has
a crowd of friends about him, and his son, a verb
young mail; resides with him in the prison.

At wren o'clock this morning (Tuesday) Si►
FRANCIS BURDErt was already in the apittinent.ol
Mr. O'Cortmon, in the pesm.
