LONDON, December 25.-The Boycott re-
lief fund now amounts to fl,00O.
A dispatch from Dublin says grave ap-
prehensions have arisen that the trial Of
the traversers will have to be adjourned.
owing to the non.attendance OF suf.
licient number Of Jurors. OF twenty.four
retained, FIVE may be cast aside; one Is q
government official, exempted from serv.
ing by an act Of Parliament; another is
man at present residing in Scotland; the
third is person living in America; the
fourth Is man who never was in Ireland,
and the filth is an invalid in England,
whom 1t would be impossible to convey to
Ireland.

Wits containing declarations by doctors
that they are unfit TO serve, owing to the
condition Of their health. A few more

statutory age. Thus, With all these OBJ
iections, and the probability Of the ab-
sence OF men who would rather incur the
penalty than serve, there is fair likeli-
hood OF legal discussion being raised on
tho construction OF a jury on the ground
that, as hepanel OF forty.seven contained
the names Of persons by statute exempt,
the whole proceeding must be quashed
