About the police outrage In Loughrca ,
O'Hilen stilled that they weie not altoclher
unpicpnied foi the swoop. Ills suspicions
being moused hu took piecautlons , and not a
bnwbeo noi a scrap of pnpur of an Incrlmlnnt-
Ingchninctei wns In the room ho occupied
when llio police rushed In. lie said that the
aitlon of the government had not struck
tenor Into the league leaders. The plan of
the campaign will still ho pushed forward
with the same ! al , though tempered with
more caution. Ho would not bp surprised If
ho and his fellow nnloilunales should bo
next Thinsdaj at Loughron , where the cise
against them comes on toi a hearing , ro-
luinpd for Ulal at the present the Con-
naught wintei nssl/en. The grand jury are
not > ct discharged , and there appears noth
ing in the way of the authoiities having the
natlonnl lendeis tried.
AN AMl'SINIl AITAIII.
Mi O'Hrlen added that the proportion of
noles and gold seiwl by tbo police was very
small , amounting to about Xss out ol a total
of 1.100. Indeed , ho expressed amusement
nt the whole alfnlr , and said : " 1 look to Its
elfect to help on the cause of the
lackiented tenants in ( ialway and
elsewheio in lielaiid. " Ho remarked
these piosecutlous were Iho best
assistance that could be given to the plan of
tlio campaign , which wasnow invincible. It
would go on Increasing and developing , and
even the action of the government , ns exem
plified In the prosecution ot himself nnd three
membcis of parliament , so far fiom pre
venting Iho speed of the movement , had
stimulated , and , as a result , he looked toi
gicater development of the campaign.
Ho wassurpiised that the tiaversers had
been allowed out on ball. Under those cir
cumstances the government pfosecutlou
would make no difference to the ngllatlon
for the furtliPiancoof the campaign.
The latest advices fiom Dublin show Ihero
had not been any fuithor arrests nude in
connection witli the holding of nntlonnl
league rent olllces in futheranco ol the plan
ofthe campaign , and th.it there wns a lull
in tlio excitement which followed the an
nouncement fiom Loughri'a.

Carcw , M. 1' . , attended at Ltall ) haiinis foi
tlio purpose ot holding a lent office
for Loid Dillon's tenants. A largo torco of
police vvoiedrafted into the town in charge
ot two resident maglstiates. Mr. Ctuovv ,
beeing his movements watched , gave up le-
eelvlng icnts , butdellvcied a speech to the
people denouncing the government foi ar
resting his colleagues. Ho said it would
btiuniilhe'ii the national cause. It was the
siisesl sign of ' a collapse ol

announced that he and tils fellows had all

mistaken as to there being drops over the
kevjiolo , nnd that the architect expert ,
sworn as to the situation of the keyhole and
the measurement , was contradicted by a
Juror , who was also an architect. Judge Hull
had already asked , during the progress of
the case : "Did pvpr two doctors svvear one

Mi. t Inlay n sumed lilssuminin ? up nnd the
outside atmospheie , as well as that surround

concluded , as now a stoim raged.
His speech was an nltei nation of Ingcnluos

ipspondents , nonp of whom wore to day pre
sent. Mr rinlav wascspeclallj seveio on

This was corlalnlj an awkward Incident , lor
over slnco the Moidaunt case , It hns become
the religion of nn Knsllsh pentlenmn to
svvenr to anything to absolve a woman's
houoi.
A full rcpott of the adverse Invectlon of
General Ilutler. who. It Is whlspeicd , had
promised his nervous wife the celebrated
painting of "Tho Koll Call" thnt he would
not bo a wltnesswould till a column. Among
other things he said Iwcio these : 'Ihe jury
hid heaul very frequently that Sir William
Uutler was a gallant nnd honorable soldier ,
but a man might bo nil thnt without being
quite a Joseph on tlio point of mornls , and
it nppc.ued to linn that a gallant aud honor-
nblo soldier , who knew that his evidence
wns vital to the clearing of the char-
actcr of a woman chaiged with com
mitting adultery with him , would certainly
notbonbscn * . It was not suggested that he
had over been tutthor than Dinan , which
was a veij short journey. If Sir William
Butler could hav e denied it vv ould hav o been
n sicrcd duty lei him to have done so , but no
doubt he was away because his evi
dence would destroy Lady Colin's case. Did
they suppose Gcncial Uutler's counsel had
failed fo point out how absolutely
essential to Lad\ Colin It was that he should
como forwird as a vv ItncssVh > , then , did
he nut' . ' Ho was nn honoiablo man nnd a
soldiei , nnd would lie tall a laly In such a
pinch but th.it he knew the cuargcs to bo
truo'.1 Also that if ho got into the witness
box and denied It , ho would pe guilty of pei-
jmjV Thnt was absolutely conclusive as to
the case against General Uutler.
In his opening Mr. Muipny had eloquently
denounced the ch.ugcs against his client aud
hid denounced Lord Colin , and all had pre
sumed ho was going tocallSli William Uut
ler. Hut what were Iho feelings ot the jury
when they weie told that all this tremendous
discharge of heavy artllleiy wns meieli In
tended to cover the ietre.it of thu gallant gen
eral.
Hefcrrlng to Lady Colin's lltermy and
other abllilles , Mr. I'inlay bald : I ceitainly
do not want to denv that she is fitted to shine
in any circle. Hei conduct In the witness-
box shows that she is nn adept in the
dramatic nit. I ridicule her attendance at
concerts In behalf ot the poor. I never heaul
that charity balls were duller than otherballs ,
and from Lady Colin's diary I see she eu-
jojfd herself Immensely. Perhaps charity
might in the present case bo Intended to
"covera multitude of sins" In the case of
a lady who had an Invalid husband. At least
she should not alwajs be absent from home.
Mr. Finlay seemed to muke a great
Impression on the jmy when ho
siid ; "If lloso liacr was a pcr-
juress In chaiging adultry on Lady Colin
with Lord Ulaiifoul , why , when she
was discharged , did Lady Colin's sister ob
tain for Hose a new situation. Counsel ,
howpvei.laboredwhen ho attacked thostrong

counsel openly sild : "Wo know nothing to
her disadvantage. " This point is , i under
stand , fo bo Sir Charles linsscll's gieat text
In his closing speech to-iuonow.
Mr. Finliy then took up the I'urlleet ns-
slcnntioi. ot the duke and the lady. He
ridiculed Ihe stoiy lint the duke had"swoi n
to about thai lady being a Mrs. I'eiiy , ot
L'imllco. Where was she ? Wliy was she
not put Into the boxV Whit character had
she to lose' . ' Counsel sevoiely dissected tlio
morality ol Lady Colin Campbell's-niolhci.
who , Unnwing the antecedents of the duke ,
hadsinctioned , and , ns n witness , defended
her joung daughter's intimacy with him.
Ho skllltully avoided the threads ot evidence
hanging outsldo Its warp and woof. Ho wove
all the best colors for his client In a labile
where , so to speik , logic was his shuttle and
the accentuated poitioiis oi his shoit hand
notes his words.
Ladles Colin and Miles listened with cilm-
soned fnces. 1'eihaps they hid never heaul
botoio'such eloquent denunciation of them
selves. Liird Colin , suppoi ted by his brothcis ,
except the Minjuls of Loruo , looked Inces
