AT the opening of the Criminal Court

tion of the Star route cases He (CorkhilD

| (CorkhilD need not bother himself about
them, and that when his services or those OF
! the Grand Jury we're required he would be
notified by the person having special charge
| of them. On the 25th of September he was
| informed by Cook that the Attorney General
wished to see him, and in company with Cook
| he called on the Attorney General and was
| then requested TO sign the criminal informa-
| ton. He then protested against the abuse
1 he had been receiving and against the insinu-
| ations that have been published about the
| that IL the Attorney General, as his superior
| officer, made statement of simple facts, this
abuse would be at once silenced.
