TORONTO, G. W, Dec 1.-Judg.
ment was delivered this aftern6on II
the cases of Lynch, Mcmahon. Stavin
and School. There were not many
present in Court, and no unusual in
terest in McMahon's case.
The Chief Justice expounded at
length the law under which a prison
er was tried.
After disposing Of objections raise
by the prisoners counsel, His Lord
ship read che evidence given at the
trial, showing the prisoners were con-
demned Fenians. He stated that af-
ter careful discussion, he agreed with
the learned Judge who tried the case,
that without that, although prisoner
came over with the Fenians ostensi-
bly, for the purpose. of administering
spiritual consolation to the wounded,
he was aiding and assisting in the act
and actually guilty.
Afidayits put by the prisoner
were then received, and their INSULT
cheney for granting new trial dwelled
on.
I GIN conclusion, His Lordship stated
that he was of the opinion thaa all
grounds taken by the prisoners coun-
sci, for the granting rule, had allied,
and that had it been granted it
would merely have been wasting time
and words to no purpose, as theCourt
would not have made it absolute.
