ers and as far aslegsl argument, and the principles
of common concerned the case SO far as Mr.
oB,ien and his unfortunate colleagues are concerned
is clearly In their favor but is too muchto expetht
the Judges will reverse their decision, two OF them
being on the special commission, namely-ths Chief
Justice and Judge Moore. Yesterday Mr.. Napier hav-
ing on the previous day spoken at great length

try, it WAS supplied by Mr. Butte powerful address
A feeble reply was made on the part Of the crown;

term to consider how they will dispose of the case 1t
is not however likely that they viii give the prso
the benefit of their objections and reverse the sen.
tence Of the court below We are however of opinon
that probably the House Of Lords would take a more
favorable view of the case than the interested party
who will use every exerton to prop up what nov ap-
pears erroneous course. Mr.. Charles Gavan Duffy

be has sent both to the High Sheriff of Dublin county
and himself The former he warns from packux q jury
he alleges done in the Of Mr. Mitchell and
Mr. Martin and the latter he in most cruel
for the conduct be pursued in refere
challenging Of jurors in these two trials The letters
have created profound sensation. and show that
against MIR Duffy the Attorney General is not to
act with Partially unfairness as he prepared to
resist nd crush the foul and unholy attempt Of syind
ling him out Of bis liberty By the infamous system of
meeting of the citizens of Dublin has taken place
to adopt steps to prevent any unfair
against mir Duffy being csken; another on the same
subject is to be held in day or two.
