at Tipperary last Thursday when tie club

their willingness 20 appear as witnesses of

NATIoNALIsrS' APPEALS FAILS
DUBLIN, Oct 1.-The appeal of Dillon,
OBrien and their fellow-accused to the
high conrt of the justice for writ to pro-
hibit the magistrates at Tipperary from
proceeding with the conspiracy cases on the
ground of bias has failed OF its object.
Judge Holmes decided this morning not to
grant the writ. No further step can be
| taken, it Ia understood, with view to
changing the magistrates before whom
the hearing Is to be continued,
but the nationalists feel that their protest,
persistently made against being tried by
| magistrates whom they have reason to be-
lieve, are biased against them, will have
much effect on public opinion. Attention has
been strikingly directed to the composition
| of the court before which the political Of
| Tenders, as the nationalists consider the men,
are being tried.
The case for prosecution continued at
Tipperary to-day without any striking
| episodes.

was generally acknowledged that the AMI

twenty minutes before school opened, as
required by the rules laid down by the

then regulate the temperature Of the
