death, was continued till Thursday, McCor-
mack being unable to appear. Some exami-
nation OF witnesses was had as to reducing
the amount Of bail Of accused. Two wit
nesses were heard, but they threw but little
light upon the mystery. 1t was proved
that there was scuffle in the bar-room, and
that Giblin afterwards told witness (Ab-
bott) that he had kicked McCormack out.
Captain Wise, who was present in court,
remarked to the Police Justice that he be-
lieved that the truth had not been arrived at.
Giblin was admitted to bail in the same
amount as beiore-S1, 1000. Moses Shields,
a witness, who was kept in jail for two or
three days, was released upon his solemn
promise to be present on Thursday. Sew
cral witnesses have left the city for the
North, and, having been discharged from
Granite, it is not unlikely that they intend
ed to 60 before this row occurred.
There were thirteen prisoners sentt Jail.
