COURT`OF-CIrEEN'S BENCH-A-MoNDAY

(From our Second Edition of Tuesday kat.)

The court was crowded to excess all day, it being un-
derstood that Mr. Barrett's counsel would move for a
mandamus to compel the magistrates of College-street
Police Office to take the informations tendered against
Mr. Hughes, the government reporter_
Mr. M`Donagh, Q.C. made the application, and argued
at great length in support of his motion.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the motion, be-
cause he believed it was not made bond fide, but to pre-
judice the administration of justice. He did not wish to
oppose an investigation, but to prevent the present ac-
cused parties being sent before the grand jury as witnesses
before they had either ignored or found the present bills;
when they had done either one or the other he had
no objection to a bill being sent up against Hughes,
and that his original information might then be sent up,
but he earnestly entreated the public not to allow their
minds to be poisoned beforehand. (The learned gentle-
man was much excited in tone and manner.)

The Court finally ordered bills to be sent up against
Hughes when the present bills against the traversers were
disposed of. The grand jury adjourned shortly before
five o'clock.

Only one witness was examined, Mr. Vernon, and it is
not likely that he Will be up again.
Not a single member has been absent on any day from
its sitting to its rising. It is impossible that a finding
can be had before Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY

of fact has anything to do with the preparation of the tra-
versers' plea, the pretext upon which the application was
made. Independent of the value evidently attached by
Mr. O'Connell to delay, we can well imagine the im-
portance his legal agents would attach to getting posses-
sion of the list of documents submitted to the Grand
Jury ; and still more of the names of witnesses tendered
for their examination, and sworn to give evidence, when
called—and it is, therefore, that the Attorney-General
felt bound to resist—a motion that would have the effect
of laying bare to the traversers' agents the whole case of
the Crown. These motions were postponed until Satur-
day.

On Saturday Mr. Whiteside, on behalf of the defend-
ant, Charles G. Duffy, moved, that the copy of the -
dictinent furnished to this defendant should be amended,
by having the names of the witnesses endorsed upon it.
The Attorney-General opposed the motion, on the
ground that the indorsement formed no part of thein-
dictment.

The Court refused to grant the application.
Mr. INl'Donough, Q.C., moved for a copy of the caption
to be added to the copy of the indictment furnished to
his client. The Attorney-General opposed the motion,
and Sir Coleman O'Loughlin arose to speak in its favour.
The Court, however, adjourned the further discussion
till Monday (yesterday).

(From our Second Edition of Tuesday last.)
DUBLIN, Nov. 6th, Half-past 8 o'clock, p.m
The following are the proceedings this day at the

BRUTAL MURDER.—On Wednesday a caretaker be-
longing to James Grove White, of Kilburn, Doneraile,

tenants of Mr. White were in arrear, and who he was
afraid would remove their crops, and that on Wednesday
evening Lockwood went out to inspect the grounds, to
see that the crops had not been_ taken off. Nothing
further was known of him until the following day, when

pletely beaten in, besides wounds on several parts of the
body.— Cork Constitution.
