Judge 0'Brien informed the Grand Jury
that the case OF theattack on Juror Field
would not be called till after the ordinary
business was disposed Of. Addressing the
special jurors he spoke Of the Importance
and gravity Of the Phoenix Park case. He
pointed to the existence Of regularly or
ganized secret societies held together for the
purpose Of committing murders. Members
OF such societies was actually guilty Of
taking the lives Of fellow beings, and those
guilty OF assisting and encouraging were
clearly guilty OF murder, the latter equally
guilty with the former. But mere member.
ship In society, even though it might be
foundiwith the general object TO commit
murder, did not necessarily make all mem.
bers guilty OF that specific crime. 1.-THE jury

produce, 1t was their duty to bring in
true bill against the prisoners accused.
He dwelt on the enormity Of the crime,
which, as II by magic, brought the dark
clouds over the bright and favorable pros
pect that seemed about TO open for Ire.
land. The judge informed the jurors that
the Crown would allege that the murder OF
Lord Frederick Cavendish was not part OF
the design OF the Phenix Park assassins,
but that he was victim OH account OF
being at the time in company with Burke.
The Crown would claim that all persons
present at the time OF the murder were re-
sponsible for the killing OF Lord Cavendish,
and were therefore accessories before the
fact. That those Of the band not present
were responsible for the murder Of Burke,
which was premeditated act on their part.
The lives taken OIL the 9th Of May last were
sacred and dear to the people. He had not
for his part the least misgiving il the jury
be found faithful In their onerous duties.
Brady in the dock wore careless air and
was defiant in demeanor.
The Grand Jury also found true bills
for murder against Joseph and Lawrence
Hanlon, William Maroney, Patrick De-
laney, Pagan and Joseph Mulett.
