Ordinary ana undCcountaDle mistake, names OF
large portion OF the public who were entered on
the jurors book as qualified to act special Jurors
had been omitted from the special list. They had,
| In very short time, discovered the names Of nc
less than slxtyhve persons which had been adjudl-
| Gated upon by the Recorder, and entered in the
common jury-book, special jurors, altogether
omitted from the special jury list He did wish
to use harsh language to any person, but ne could
not hef observing, that this had occurred either
from an objectionable mistake or from some un-
derhand collision. He submitted, on the whole,
that the officer could notproceed TO strike jury on
such panel as had been returned by the Sheriff"
Mr.. Ford, on the part of Mr.. O'Connell, said,
"There was gross and Infamous suppression Of the
Jurors let the fault be where it will, and added,
Roman Catholics have been suppressed in that
list" The following was the only explanation Of
fered:-" The Sub-Sherif said, that in the absence
Of the High Sheriff. he felt bound TO state that every
upon the list and every single appearing on the
Recorders book, marked as special Jurors, was on
the special panel Every single one was COM
pared by the High Sheriff and himself, name by
name, and even letter by letter. fthen, there were
any omissions or inaccuracies they We're not 10 be
| attributed 10 the Sheriff or to him."
Mr. Brewster insisted that the Clerk of the Crown
should proceed and the latter, cenceivng that he
not, proceeded accordingly tbut under protest from
the traverser attorneys) to shake the box and draw
out the cards. A few objections were made, and
one or two persons, officially otherwise disqua-
names were drawn out.
On Friday the parties attended before the Clerk
Of the Crown for the purpose of reducing the list
Mr.. Mahony offered afidavits of the parties omit
ted, and every proof necessary to bring the matter
before the law officers IN tangible shape, propo-
sing to have the list at once amended All his OBJ
| servatlons were met by the clerk with the reply,
that he had nothing to do with the matter, and that
| his simple duty was to the list reduced. Mr.
| Mahony at length handed in formal protest.
The parties proceeded, Mr.. Kemms for the
| Crown and MIR. Cantwell for the traversers to re-
| duce the list, each naming one alternately, Mr.
Kemmis never failing to name either Catholic or
| Liberal, eleven OF the former and of the lat
ter, and Mr.. Canwell each time excaiming,
"There's another Roman gomez The list was at
length reduced to the twenty-four whose names

up from the ballot box, which is considered equiva-
lent to packing jury, as the trayersers will now
be tried by jury composed entirely Of Professionals
/ Mr. Steele has given instructions to have Sir

Peel, and Lord Lyndhurst Immediately summoned
to give evidence on his trial Sir James Graham
is his principal English witness, we believe, in con-
sequence OF the fact that Mr.. Steele member
of the Birmingham Political Union when the pre-
sent Secretary for the ilome Department was a
wing So decided is MIR. Steele's purpose of COM
polling these four ministers Of the crown to undergo
his personal examination, defending himself as he
did before without counsel, that, notwithstanding
his perfect knowledge of the extent OF English pre-
judice at present against O'Conneliites and Re-
pealers, he will, after examining Lord Plunket,
offer to 60 to London and take his trial before a
Jury of Engshmen if the Cabinet Ministers should
try to deprive him of justice by evading coming to
Dublin.
1t appears, from the Dublin Evening Post of Sa
turday, that the Catholics grievousy offended
at the insult which they conceive has been
offered to them, and that in the course of
the week, requisiton will appear for aggregate
meeting of the whole Catholic body, for the pur-
pose of denounclns this alleged grieeyous wrong.
