" COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, NOV. 27.

" This day Mr. GooLD, after some prefatory ob.
servations as to the necessity of quieting the public
mind, on the subject of the pending trials, expressed
a wish that the Court should determine the exact
time at which his Clients might expect that event to
take place.

" CHIEF Just.tcz.—l believe 'there is no intention
to commit any obstinate or violent outrage upon the
law ; all that is necessary in case of trial will be to
shew that the Traversers have done such acts as a
Jury may discover to have been illegal. But I hope
it may not be necessary to proceed further in the bu-
siness—Should that be the case, it will be a very
great satisfaction to this Court, and, I hope, to the
Country. .. •

64 Mr. GOOLD.-my Lords, I should be glad to
know from the Attorney-General, on what day, in
the next term, it will be his convenience to attend.
" ATTOR/TEY.GENERAL. —lf it be the desire of the
Tmversers, the trial shall take place as early as pos-
sible in the next term ; but I do hope that no act.will
take place si.4ilar to that which has been pronounced
illegal by your Lordships.
44 Mr. GooLD.----The public tranquillity is connect,.
ed with the ultimate decision of these trials, and the
Traverseri have a'right to expect as public a trial as
possible.

" The ArronnEY-GmettAt. said, that it would
take place in the usual course.

" CHIEF Jusrtoz—lt must proceed in the ordinary

way.
gg Mr. GoOtn—My Lord, some of these Gentle.
men are professional men, and they ought not to be
required to attend here from day to day, to the very
great detriment of their other affairs. They ought to
have a particular day set apart for their trial.
ATTORNEY-GENEnAL—Nothing, I hope, has yet
appeared in this business to warrant the supposition,
thatit is my wish to throw any obstacle in the way
of the traversers being accommodated. It was not
my fault that the 'business has occupied so much of '
the time of 'your Lordships ; it was the course taken'
by the traversers Counsel themselves, which has re-
tarded the proceeding.
14 Cuter JUSTIOE—I am sure these ecademen have
nothing to complain of—l will mention the first
Monday, after the first day of the ensuing Term, to
proceed in this trial.
46 Counsellor O'Coustar.z.—My Lord—l am in-
structed by Mr:Kirwan to state to the Court, that he
is re.tdy and willing to 'abide his trial at the sittings
of Nisi Primr.
g Judge OSBORNE-It cannot be done.
44 Counsellor O'CONNELL—My Lord, I have, my-
self no less than great reason to wish for the speedy
and ultimate decision of this question. lam not in-
sensible to the unworthy imputations which have been
cast upon the Catholic body.
44 Arroand GIBIARRAL—My Lord—No such thing
hat fallen from m', as an imputation upon the Ca-
tholic body. I did acquit the catholic body of any
participation in what vas going forward.
44 Cum Jusrlca—l did not heat any such im-
putation.
" Judge Doi—Mr.• O'Connell—lf any such- im-
putations, as you'allude to, were thrown out, we must
have hard them—for my part I did not.
" Counsellor O'Cosuzu.—l have taken down not
less than seventeen passages of the Attorney General's
speech, each of which, I will be -bold to say, does
materially affect the reputation of that great and re-
spectable body, of which I have the honour to be a
member—and I will observe, in contradiction to the
assertion of any man—l care not what or who he is,
that the Catholics of Ireland are as distinguished ior
disinterested ..nd enthusiastic loyalty as any other
class of his Majesty's subjects.
C EF JUSTIOE.-I protest Mr. O'Connell we see
no necessity for going into the subject, after it has been
disclaimed over and over—that there was any sort of
intention to cast imputations on the Catholic Body

'

such as you mention.
46 Judge OSBORNE. —Clearly, by all means—it has
been repeatedly disclaimed.
d‘. CHIEF Joince.—This is not the time, Mr. O'Con-
nell, to ,enter into this business ; you should have ,
made these observations when the Matter occurred. I
66 Counsellor CPCONNELLMy Lords, at t%e mo-
ment
the expressions were uttered I could have con-
tradicted or corrected.them ; but I felt that it would
have been indecorous and irregular in me to interrupt
the Attorney-General in the middle of his statement.
66 ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I should have been much
obliged to Mr. O'Connell to have interrupted mc, if l
I made use of any expressions such as be seems to
think I did.
64 Counsellor O'CoNmILL—I shall not trespass fur-
ther on your Lordships. I will rest satisfied by saying,
that any reflections or imputations which have been

east on the Catholics of Ireland, from any quarter,
are utterly and absolutely False and Ground/tit.
gs Serjeant Moona—There ii no use in pronouncing
words 61 false and groundless," which were never
cnnken.

rill PRESS.
41 AnonszYZENsaAL—My Lord, t hold in my
hand a paper with the signature of Cam:llu% (the
Attorney-General should have said Callimachas), it
has been published in a Newspaper called the Even-
ing Herald—l shall read part of it for your Lord-
ships; (hare the Attorney-General read the first and
the latter, part of the Letter) and concluded by say-
ing, that it contained most offensive matter; that it
was a gross and scandalous attempt to interfere with
the jurisdiction of the Court, and the privileges of the
Petit Jury, who tried Dr. Sheridan. He concluded
by moving for a conditional order, for a criminal at-
tachment against the Proprietors of the Evening He-
rald.--Motion granted.
ANOTHER CRIMINAL ATTACHMENT I

. " Mr. Serjeaut MOORE moved for a conditional or-
der to obtain a criminal attachment against the Pro-
prietor of the Wally Me:tenger, for publishing the
same paragraph, as well as we could collect, as that
for which conditional orders have been granted
against the Proprietors of the Dublin Evening Post
acid Freeman': Journal."

NEW ADMINISTRATION.'

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR..

- -
Sin-13y your own account you have some very
respectable correspondents,one of whom has furnished
you with a list of a New Administration. The deli-
cate business of that arrangement, notwithstanding
your high authority to the contrary, is not yet finally
settled. The list of the Gallant Member for West-
minster and the Hon. COCHRANE JOHNSTON is subject
' to revision., The PRINCE REGENT has, however, al-
ready decided that Lord COCHRANE shall not, at this
time, be called to the head of the Admiralty ; and I
can assure the friends of his loyal Highness the
Duke of YORK, that they need be under no apprehen-
sions that the other Honourable Gentleman is about
to be appointed commander in chief, One great error
in the list from your Respectable correspondent I beg
you will immediately correct :—for Mr. PERCIVAL'S'
call to the House of Peers, &c. read Lord COCH•
RANZ to be removed by writ, (not from the jail of
Malta, but) from the House of Commons by.the stile
and title of BARON HOAX of Making-game Shire.
To these alarming alterations I take upon me to
affirm, having examined the matter thoroughly, and
to them only, must be ascribed the fall in the funds.
I hope, Mr. Editor, as a return for this correct and
authentic intelligence, that you will use your influence
with the Lord Mayor and Aldermen to get my re-
lease, by Royal authority, from this place, in which
I have been confined ever since I worked so hard in
- the West Indies, under a scorching sun without any
beer. I think, Mr. Editor, it would not be amiss to
speak 'to the Lord Chancellor about this, and by way
of inducement inform his Lordship that as soon as I
am released 1 shall put an end-to all farther importa-
tion of Potash, so that he may assure the Cabinet
that they need be under no hesitation about going to
war with America. I have a certain way of using
wind compressed in bags by which I produce a great
, noise : I think if this invention were known there
would be nothing to be apprehended from a lee shore.
Give my respects to your " Beiteciable quarter"-1
don't mean your mutton.
Your sincere and dutiful Correspondent,
Qt7Z beFUN.
