out of the imprisonment of Mr.. A. Sullivan
and Mr.. r Pigott, the proprietors respectively
of the Nation and Irishmaa, was DISPOSED of on
Tuesday, November 10, in the Municipal Re-

ants within the meaning of the Act. The Lord
Mayor ruled in favor of the claims, which de-
cided the matter.

to the report which we publish of the splendid
speech delivered by Mr.. Alexander Richey, q
young Protestant barrister at the Liberal
