Proceedings in the State trials continue
to excite little interest. The trayersers
struggled into court this morning, Mr..
Parnell arriving quite an hour after the
opening. Proceedings were delayed nearly
half an hour by want OF nuuctuality on
the part OF a juryman. Justice FitZper-
aid informed him that be would be fined
one hundred pounds IL the ,odense was
again committed. The Attorney General
continued his speech. He dealt with the
speeches Of Dillon, Biggar. Sullivan and
Brennan, advising the people to pay on
Mr.. Grittith'a valuation, and declared that
the travetsers had conspired together to
inapgurate Red RepubliCanism and Com.
munism.
Mr. Law completed the reading OF
n extracts from the speeches OF the
traversers showing that they all conselled
the people to withhold the rent He then
quoted the judgment Of Chief Justice
Cockburn, to the effect that conspiracy
was an act of two or more persons COM
bining to ipiure third party, and that it
was not necessary that the acts done
be criminal mere combination to effect
q civil injury would come within the law.
He wished to read the opinion OF Daniel
OConnel on the proposed strike OF the
farmers against rent.roll, but this was
not allowed by the court Mr.. Law pro.
ceeded 10 explain the punishments which
the traversers advocated for those who
took eyicted farms. and declared that one
OF the traversers had been continued in
bis post as paid agent OF the Land League
after having held persons up By name TO
popular execratton and murder. He
dwelt with much effect on the point that
the traversers had given prominence TO
the statement that il 80 900 persons we're
enrolled in the Land League no army
could enforce the land laws.
Mr.. Laws speech was not concluded
when the Court rose.
A large number OF the constabuary and
reporters who took notes st the meetings
OF the Land League are In attendance at
the trials. Barristers has been sent to
the west OF Ireland on behalf OF tho trav-'
erses to collect evidence for the defense.
