The jury being called from the room in which
they bad passed the night, and answering to
their nau es, were asked the usual question,
when the foreman replied that they had found
verdict Of guilty. .. -
The prisoner, who heard the announcement
with great composure, then made long address
to the Court in which he very emphatically
and solemnly asserted his entire innocence. He
denied having any connection with Fenianism;
declared that he had been condemned because
he wac Romsn Catholic; that the evidence
had been deliberately concocted to convict
him.
He was going on to speak of the cruel treat
ment of lrishmen in England, when he was
interrupted by the Chief Justice, who pointed
out 10 him that whatever might be the case
elsewhere in this country Irlshmen and all
other classes were treated alike before the law
and he Lad no reasonable grounds for COM

He is Sentenced to Death.
After solemnly cautioning the prisoner against
entertaining any hope of pardon, and imploring
him TO prepare for the future his lordship SEN
fenced him to be executed ON Thursday, the
18th OF September next, between the hours of
10 and O'clock. The prisoner was then re-
moved. Intense excitement prevails.
