Judge O'Brien , who Is to hear the case , took his seat on the bench at 11:15 : o'clock , when the work of swearIng - Ing in the grand jury was proceeded with. The prisoners , Brady , Kelly , Delaney , Oaffre , Onrloy and Fitzharrls , were brought to the court house at 9 o'clock and v ore escorted by a whole troop of dragoons. The counsel and solicitors for the prisoners who ap peared for thorn at the examination at the Ivitmalaham court house wore preaotit. JuJgo O'Brien addressed the special jurors , and elated that the crown would allege that Lard Fred erick Cavendish's murder was 1 no pirt of the crime as con- coctt > d , but ho was a victim to his presence in the park with Barko. Nevertheless all present at the tlmo of the murders wore responsible there for , i'ho grand jury then retired It IB selected from the special panel drawn from the residents of both the city and county of Dublin. There were very few claims for exemption from service.

Judge O'Brien Informed the grand jury that the cesa of the attack upon Juror Field would not bo called until after the ordinary business of the commission wa3 dis posed of. Addressing the special jurors , ho spoke of the importance and gravity of the Pbotulx park mur der caao. He pointed tothe exlotonoo of regularly organized stcrot societies hold together for the purpose of com mlttlog murder. Membora of such societies actually guilty of taking the lives of their fallow beingsand those gnilty of assisting and encouraging them , wro clearly guilty of murder. The latter were equally guilty with the former. But mere membership in the society , even though U might ba formed with a general object to commit murder did not necessarily make all members gnilty of that specific crime. If the Jury believed the evidence the orown would prodioo it was their duty to brlrg in a true bill against the per sons accused. He dwelt on the enor mity of the crime which had as if by magic brought a dark cloud over the bright favorable prospect that It Boomed was abjut to open for Ireland. The judge informed the jury that the crown would allege that the murder of Lord if'redoriok Cavendish waa not a part of the original design of the Pfccealxpark assassins ; that ho was o victim on account f f being at tbo tlmo In company with Barko. Tiio crown would claim , however , that all persona present at the tlmo of the murder wore responsible for the killing of Lord Frederick , and were therefore accessories beioro the fact ; that these who were not present ro responsible only for the mnrdor of Burke , which was a premedlted act on their part. Tao lives taken on ho 6th of May last were sacred and ar to the people. He had not , for his park , the least mliglviug that the jury would bo found faithful In the dis charge of their onerous duty. * Brady , In the dock , wore careless and defiant demeanor , as at the hear ing.The The grand jury found a true bill for [ il V mnrdor against Joseph and Liwronco ' "i , Win.
