the charge of the murder OF Csvendish /
and Burke began this morning. Not |
Withstanding the fact was known that all !
Absentees would be fined el00, many
jurors on the panel failed to appear. The |
case for the crown was opened by Porter. !
Porter described the crime as unpsral- |
leled in atrocity; q crime that had |
shocked the whole civilized world. He |

the affair, paid warm tribute 10 the
character and life OF Burke and Cavern

eyes OF God as was Brady. He declared
that the object of the conspiracy was to
remove all whom they regarded as

and men of his class we're among those
always prepared for murder, but they
were without doubt entirely indifferent
as to the ultimate objects of that murder.
Brady was at hand when various am
bushes were laid for Forster. Counsel
for the defence inteIposed an earnest
protest against the clown council belUg
suffered by the court to PREJUDICE the
jury against the prisoner BRADY in
making assertions like these which could
not be proved. The Judge refused to in

that if Carey was put upon the witness

by any other testimony, but there

the present case, there would be pro-
daced conclusive and corroboratiaR evil
dence to fertify Carey's. This case
| should teach one lesson, that there could
be no secret among members of such
! society; the men who had instigated it
had to pay for it in life. The men
/ who supported it with the funds

proof required of how conepirators de-
serted those unlswfully lesgued with
them, it was furnished by the fact that
the crown had even in this case
been compelled to provide means for
defending Brady fIom this terrible
charge.
During the examination of Farrell,
counsel for the prisoners again protested
against the Introduction Of matters for

to attempts made against the life OF

such evidence was admissible in the
present case as tended to connect the
prisoner with the conspiracy. FsrrePs

the testimony given at that time. Jas
