All the accused with the exception Of Mr..
OMahonsy, who is III. were present, but
their counsel, Messrs. Redmond and
Timothy Healy, were absent in conse-
quence of an important engagements which
dem anded their attention elsewhere. On
behalf of Mr.. O'Mahoney, Mr.. Dillon pro-
duced certificates from two doctors stating
that he was seriously i'll, and that it was
impossible for him TO attend the trial Mr.
Roman, prosecutor for the crown, objected
TO the certificates as not being valid excuses
for Mr., O'Mahoney's absence, and insisted
THAI the doctors be summoned by the court
TO testify rs to their patients condition.
Mr. Dillon said that the doctors certificates
would have to be accepted as evidence that
Mr.. OMahoney was IN no condition to APP
pear before the court, as the doctors them
selves distinctly refused 20 come TO the
court to substantiate statements they had
already made in their certificates.
ADJOURNED FOR AN HOUR.
journ for an hour to enable the crown to
decide whether the charge against Mr..
OMahoney would be withdrawn or an ap-
plication for a warrant for his arrest made.
Mr.. OBrlen was not pleased with the
prospect for adjourning the case for an
hour, and he therefore asked Mr.. Roman:
"Can you not decide this matter in half an
hour, and not keep us fooling around hereF'
The court granted the request of Mr..
Roman, and adjournment was taken for an
hour.
There was a large attendance at the meet
ing which was private Justin MCCARTHY
offered resolutions demanding that in b @
distressed districts in the southern and west
ern parts Of Ireland the government imme-
diatelY begin works of public improve
ments to enable the people to support
themselves without charitable assistance (;
condemning the conduct of the government
in arresting Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon and
others, and appealing to friends Of the
league everywhere, and especially in
America, to subscribe generously to the
fund for the relief OF the distressed Irish
tenants.
AN UNWILLING APPEAL.
This appeal, the resolution says, is made
most unwillingly, but the desperate strait
in which the Irish tenants are now placed,
makes 1t absolutely necessary that assist
pathizers throughout the world.
MIR. Parnell sent friendly message of
encouragement and hope. Messrs. Dillon
| and O'Brien and the other nationalists de-
tanned at Tipperary sent telegram ex-
pressing their regret that ''the disgusting
| judicial farce prevented their attending
the conference. Messrs. Dillon, O'Erien,
Thomas Power OConnor. Timothy d. Sui
| livan, Timothy Harrington and i. p. Gill,
all members of parliament, were appointed
| deputation to visit America.
Upon the reassembling OF the court Mr..
| Roman stated that the prosecution had tele-
| graphed to the two doctors in Clonmel,
requesting them to examine Mr.. O'Mahoney,
and had sent third doctor from Tipperary
to visit and examine the defendant. He ex-
pected hat the doctors would appear in
court later, and testify as to Mr.. O'Mahoney' Is
condition, aud he therefore asked the court
to take further adjournment. In the
course of his remarks, Mr. Roman said that
Mr.. OMahoney, through his solicitor, had
placed the court at defiance
DECLARED UNTRUE,
This remark excited the Indignation of
Mr.. Dillon, VINO declared it untrue He
further said that he had done his best to
procure the attendance of Mr.. O'Mahoney's
doctors in court. Mr.. OBrien said that the
defendants had right to complain against
the course Of the prosecution. Mr.. Romans
remark he declared, was addressed to an
audience in England and was designed to
injure the defendants.
Mr.. O'Brien's remarks were greeted with
cries Of "hear, hear" by the defendants
A scene of confusion ensued. Mr.. Roman
repeated his remarks again and again, and
Mr.. Dillon, who was very angry, loudly
denied them. The defendants in the mean
time protested against the charges made by
the prosecutor.
When order was again partly restored,
Mr.. Dillon warmly protested against the
court taking any further adjournment. He
maintained that in justice no warrant could
be issued for the arrest Of Mr.. OMahoney
until the court had heard the testimony of
his doctors. After another heated wrangle
the court finally granted Mr.. Romans re-
quest, and further adjournment was
taken. The action of the defendants, who
are on bail, is likely to result In their COM
initial to Clonmel Jail for contempt of
court.
ADJOURNED TILL FRIDAY.
When court resumed DR.. Wadin, who
had seen Mr.. O'Mahoney, testified that Mr..
O'Mahoney would be unable to attend at
least for four days. Ultimately the trial
was adjourned until Friday, Alderman
Dillon undertaking that Mr. O'Mahoney
would then come TO Tipperary TO reside for
the remainder Of the trial.
