THE THIRD TRIAL OF TIMOTHY KELLY. DUBLIN. Monday Night. —The Court-house was crowded to-day. The two disagreements, the youth ef the prisoner, his alleged close intimacy with Joe Brady, the allegation that he was one of the actual murderers, ell cembine to invest with exception I interrat the third trial of 'timothy Kelly for the murder of Mr. Burke, whicb, as the Attorney-G .neral incidentally remarked, was Ciellmitted a year and a day from the day on which Timothy Kelly stands for the third time before a Dublin jury en tial for his life. Not only was the Court-house crowded. but it was crowded by a class s eneweet different from those who have occupied it, or, rather half filled it, &win, the but taw weeks. Fir the first hour and a half a large portion of the available space was Occupied by jurors. of whom abut 130 answered to their names, but on the withdrawal of these, after a jury was sworn, their placer were taken by spectators, of moat of whom it need only be said that they were more numerous than select. Ai a nateral result, the proceedings were not characterised by the same decorum as has prevailed thtoughout the protracted proceedings in Green-street. There was not only noise and confusion caused by the frequent exit and entrance of the cccupaets of the gallery, but ithe tendency was noticeable to indulge in laughter, and te do so by way of giving emphasie to the prelate which counsels for the prisonera in crosesexamining the Crown witnesses sought to make against them in endeavouring to impeach their credibility. Mr. Justice O'Brien speedily toek the matter in hand, and when as the approver Farrell, in reply to Mr. M'lnerney, said that he had not told the truth at the Castle, but he had tole it since he gave evidence against the prisoners, there was pretty audible laughter, his lordship observed that if he found any display of levity he would direct the police to remove any eters m who took part in such display. This threat had considerable eff et, but occasionally there was suppressed laughter, as indeed there always will be in a court filled with such a miscellaneous audience as succeeded in gaining admiesion t -day. The speech of the Atto ney-Oeueral in opening the case for the Crown was of a somewhat different character from the custeuevy studied mi'dness of Mr Porter's statement,. He spoke of the unparalleled atrocity, cruelty, and cowardice of he crime of the 6th of May, mid he intimated that there was hope that the Government were on the track of making further and more important discoveries it'll in reference to this "gang of cut-threats." The announcement of tee greatest interest, however, made in the speech, was that in which it was conveyed that a new approver would be placed in the witness-box—that Joe Haddon, brother of the man convicted of the outrage on Mr. Field, and cousin of Daniel Curley, convicted of the murder of Mr. Burke, would be examined. Robert Farrell's examination passed over without any incident save that already alluded to. He was followed by Peter C ,rey, who, in crosteexaminatlon as to whether he would have committed murder. said, "I would have helped It, anyway," and he felt no horror at it. James Carey, who was next examined, had another fling at the Freeman's Journal, which, he said, had an arttcle on the 3rd of May recommending the c'eseing out of the Castle officials, and then after Mr. Burke's death it went into sackcloth and ashes—it went into mourning, and it was the only journal in Dublin that bad done so. Joe Hanlon, as he etepped on to the table, took aside glance at the prisoner, who looked at him full in the face. Minion, who Is • young man, apparently about 25 years of age, gave his evidence with considerable Isaac omposure, but not with the coolness of either Carey or Farrell. He for the first time in evidence, gave an account of the departure from the scene of Curley, Fagan, and himself. They went—as every one long ago fait morally certain they went—away in Fitzharria's cab, the last the witness saw before ent ruing t being the two gentlemen lying on the ground. The cab returned te town by the none Circular Road Gate, and preceeded to Aungier-rtreet, where all three got out and walked along the quay& In other respects Hanlon's evidence is chiefly a cerroteratton of Carey's. The crosrexemination of the witness elicited nothing but that he hat been compelled to become a witness to save his own life, and he was very sorry to have to do so.
