SCENE IN COURT.  The investigation into the a.ssassination conspiracy was resumed on Mo, day in the County Court House, adjoining Kihnainhain Prison. Soon after the prisoners had been placed in the dock, Superintendent Mallon, who had been on the track of the prisoners since June, and, in fact, had the principals, except Tom Catfrey, arrested under he Coercion Act in July as reasonably suspected of the crime of murder, introduced fora short time aishabbily-dressed Crown witness to the grand jury box. The witness having scanned the faces of the prison re attentively, whispered to Mr Mallon, and both with-drew. At ten minutes pa-t twelve o'clock there was a general move of detectives and policemen in uniform to the prison ewr mce. Mr Coldes, the Governor, bustled in, and immeoiately following him came the prisoners. Joe Brady and Hanlon led the van with their hats on ; then Came Corley awl young Kelly, and the rest twubled in pell mell, filling the dock in a twinkling. They seemed in a merry mood. smiling and shaking hands all round. Joe Brady awl Tim Kelly greeted each other in a most cordial way. Mr Walsh, (olicitor, went to the side of the (lock and had a long chat with Tim Kelly, his client. Mr McCune also had a conversation from the front with Joe Brady. Conversation became general in the dock, but after a few moments there was a general movement to the front as a detective appeared, followed by James Cart y, with his eyes towards the floor. As lie passed the dock some of the prisoners leaned over, and there was a chorus of hisses. One of the prisoners shouted out "Go on Jem." Carey was quite unabashed as he took ilk seat in the nitness chair, crossing one leg over the other. He was dressed in a suit of gray tw. ed, and had a bl e silk handkerchief in the breast pocket. Mr. Walsh changed places with Dr. Webb and commenced the cross-examination of Carey to show the patriot'c motives that inspired the accused. Carey spoke in a low, thick scarcely audible in the galkry. When Carey mentioned that it was on the publication of the article in the Freeman's Journal on May 2ntl, lgB2, to clear the officials out of Dublin Castle that he received from "Number One" on tho following day the order to "remove" Mr. Burke, thrre was a positive sensation in Court. When C trey proceeded to sign his deposition, Curley shouted out " Don't put T. C. to that." Another '• Wl.ere's the cocked hat !" and a third, as he left by the Crown exit, jumping over the heads of the Queen'. counsel, " Oh, come this way :leive UP a 10-k of yourlhair." Mr. Murphy produced a marked impression on the Court RP he excused the C own for aeceptieg Carey's evidence, tint it was with dun regard to public saf tv and to the public good alone. He trusted the Executive wt nil have it in their power thorcuzlily to penetrat the terrible, h-d,ous organization out of which this fearful crime had sprung. and to make amenable the in-tigator- Hewett at the perpetrators. A lady in the "allery, who was id( ntid,al with the late Lidirs' Land League. waved Ina. Jiandkerchief to McCaffrey, who kissed hands in return. Before
