i:n-
DriiLix, October fi. The trial cf
Lord Mayor Sullivan and Mr. O Brieti
for publishing in the pa2ers respect '
ively controlled by them reports
of meetings of suppressed branches i
of the National League, will open at
the Mansion House Court this after j
noon. At this hour, 1.30 p. ru., great, !
crowds of people line the route which j
will be taken by the Lord Mayer nd i
Mr. O'Brien rfnd the corporation of
the city, which will attend them in
J state during the trial.
Xhe counsel for the Crown has
given notice of appeal against the Jo
cision of the court in the case of
Lord Mayor Sullivan. In the streets
there was a scene of wild enthusiasm
and the crowd was so great that it
almost impaired the progress of the
civic procession. The Tory news
paper offices were harrassed by the
people. The Lord Mayor ou ai living
at the Mansion House made a speech.
Referring to the result of his trial
he said that the national press had
been victorious in its first tussle with
the coercive government and the news
would gladden the hearts of Purnell
and Gladstone. The only way to de
feat the infamous coercion law w as
to defy it. As for himself the plank
upon which he was to sleep in jail had
not been sawn.
Dublin, Oct. (J. 2.30 i-. M.--The
Lord Mayor was driven to court to
day in a carriage which was followed
by Mr. Dillon, ex-Lord Mayors E. D.
Wyer, Grey and Charles Dawson, ex
Sheriff Peter McDonald and others.
The city marshal wearing a cocked
haand sword led the civic digDila
ries who were all arrayed in fulL
robes of their offices. Mr. O'Biien
joined the procession soon after it
started and proceeded to court. The
streets through which the procession
passed to the
court were thronged

dered singly through the crowd. A
cordon of police surrounded the5
Mansion .House court and prevented
the crowd from approaching the
court. There were fifty municipal
officers present in court. After .the
case had been called by the magis
trate a warm dispute occurred be
tween the police attendants in court
and Mr. Sexton, M. P, the hijrh
sneriff of Dublin, arising from the
desire of the latter to place the
city sword and mace before the magis
trate. The police attempted tojprevent
tne placing of the city emblems on
the table,. whereupon Mr. Sexton and
other municipal officers seized the
sword and attempted to place it there
by force. The police and municipal
officers struggled for the possession
of the sword while the spectators in
the gallery j cheered Mr. Sexton and
exhorted him to "hold on." After a
few minutes both sides desisted aud
after a parley a compromise was
effected and the sword was placed on
the maf?i8trate-8 bench. After the dif-
fusement of the difficulty in the body
of the court the corporation offi
cers retired to seats which had been
reserved for them in the gallery.
Mr. O Bnen did not enter the court
to answer a summons which had been
issued against him. When quit:t was
restor ed the case of Mr. Sullivan was
proceeded with. Mr. Carrow ap
peared as counsel for the Crown and
Mr. Timothy Healy appeared as covin
