It is a confession of impotence wheu Irish matice is driven to such a paltry xpedient. which, if followed, would only lnjure lts adoptcrs. The lesson for Great Britain is to ignore Irishmen and to abandon the hope of briugin them to a better frame of mind 6y the continuance of umserited favors.

Mclnern' opened the argument for the defense. He dwelt on the Eact that the accusation that the prisoner was in the park with knowledge of the errand of of the murderer rested on the cvidenoe af the informor alone. He particularly pointed out that although Peter Cary swore that the prisoner had recounted the ciremnstances of the murder to him, his narrativo of the assas6ination had differed from the ascertained facts. He closed with a patriotic appeal to the jury to restore the Door man to hiu starving ïamily, with a good name, which was his sole possession The jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
