REVELATIONS BY A CONVICT.  Some important statements affecting the Land League were made by an informer, John Tubridy, to the magistrates engaged at Ennis in investig iting the evidence to be produced against the men arrested in the Crusheen district, and charged with conspiracy to murder. Tubridy said :—I am at present a prisoner in Mountjoy, Dublin, and lived in Crusheen, before that. There was a Fenian society in Crusheen, called the Irish Republican Brotherhood. I was a member of it. The President of the Society was Patrick Loughery, of Crusheen. The treasurer was James O'Grady; the secretary was John O'Grady. I was told by members of the society that James O'Grady was the treasurer. I joined the society about three years last November. Before I joined Patrick Loughery told me that I was going to be made a member. I met Denis Hanrahan in the Land League room the day before the great Parnell meeting in Limerick. I heard a party of men called at my house. I met the two Hanrahans on the Tuesday following. John Hanrahan told me himself. Pat Loughery, John Harte, Pat 3l'Namara, James O'Grady (identified), and Martin O'Brien (not in custody), went to my house to have me as one of a party to fire at Ned Kennedy. I asked him why did they pitch on me for that. He said, "May be we would not have to do it at all yet, as Pat Loughery and John Harte were to see Jerry O'Keeffe, in the parish of Tulla, to see if he would send men from there to do it the way they would not be known." Loughery was to send men to O'Keeffe if he wanted them to return. He told me to inspect Kennedy's house, and find out where Ned used to sleep, and said he would come on Saturday, and to have an account for him. I heard be was shot next morning. I spoke to all the men next day. Loughery said that every one said it was well done. I heard from Loughery that it was 111‘Enerney who used to distribute the arm.. Denis Hanrahan told me he got three rifles from MEnerney. In Ennis he brought one to me in the night; there was a bayonet on it. I remember coming to a meeting in Ennis in January twelve months. Pat Loughery was with me. M'Enerney said he called them together to know whether they would make a new society to do away with landlords, agents, bailiffs, and spies. There was a stranger there who, he said, as a representative of the Laud League from Dublin. He said he attended to know if the Republican Brotherhood would form a now society; that he had travelled about other parts of the country already, and had formed branches in other counties. M'Enerney said the Land League would supply the new society with arms. The name of the new society was either " Invincible " ot "Vigilance." Ho said they would all get their expenses, and that the members of the society should go into different counties, and even to England, to shoot landlords, bailiffs and spies, and that the Land League would pay their expenses.  Mr. Justice Smith took his seat for the first time in the Queen's Bench, on Monday. A Paris telegram says Louise Michel was allowed to leave prison on .Saturday to pay a visit to her nt:ther, who is seriously ill. At Bristol Police Court, on Saturday, Mary Ann Crocker, a married woman, but separated from her husband, was committed for trial for wounding tor child, aged four, by striking it on the head with a poker.
