DUBLIN, October l0.-The case of the
Crown against William O'Bricu and
John Dillon. who are charged with con-
Spiracy in melting tenants not 10 pay
their rents, was again called iu thc
Magistrates Court at Tipperary this
morning. Mcssrs. O'Brien and Dillon
have hitherto been present 40 All the
hearings. but this morning, when che
Court opened. they did not put in an
appearance. Both the defendants are
members OF the committee which was
appointed AT the conference OF Irish
Nationaists held In Dublin last Friday
TO visit America for the purpose of
soliciting aid for the Nationalist cause.
and rumor l. current that they have
forfeited their bail OF 1000 each boo the
conspiracy ease, and that they sailed
yesterday from Queenstown FOR the
United States.
Much excitement prevailed boo Upper
airy when IL became known that Mc>>rs.
o. 'Brcn aud Dillon had abandoned their
defense and left the place. Couirma-
ti0n OF the rumor that they have lcit
the country has been recei scd. There
is no confirmation, however, OF the rr-
port that they sailed from Queenstown
yesterday for the United States. The
information thu, far received shows
that they did not leave by the ordinary
channels of passage. Their bail Will Doe
forfeited aud will be paid 10y The Ma
tional League.

jointly charged with conspiracy with

and asked the court 90 append Go their

appearance. Mr.. Hcaly. of counsel for
the defendants. submitted the argument
that the sureties ON the bail bonds hai
fulfilled their obligation when Messrs.
OBrien aud Dillon appeared boo
court ON their first day of
the trial. The Crown. hc said. had
subsequently, amended certain particu-
lars of the charges, and therefore thc
bail given for the defendants no longer
held good. After listening 90 tLe ar~u-
mcnts on this point. the Court ln-
nOunccd that In its opinion the charges
against the defendants. although they
had been amended by the Crown. were
substantially the same. IL therefore
granted Mr. Romans request. aud the
