Lonpox, July —The opening proceedings of the ‘sensational trial of O'Donvell versus the Times for 50,000 pounds damages for libel has excited com- Paratively slight interest. The crowd seeking ad- mission to the court, however, was very great, many hundreds being turned away. The proprietors of the Times bave taken extraordinary measures for thelr defense, Not only have they secured a whole bench of the ablest counsel at the bar, but they have actually given a retaining fee to ex-Attorney General Sir Cuas, Russell, merely in order that he might not be secured by the other side. The num- Der of witnesses is so large that the Times engaged the whole of a large hotel in Holbourn called the Inns of Court Hotel, where the witnesses reside until wanted to give evidence. The proprietor of the Times, Mr. Walter, was not in court, but Editor Buckle, a tall, good-looking young man of athletic appearance, occupied a seat vehind his counsel, Many Irish members of parliament were in the court and the lobbies, Parnell looking in during the exatmination of Mr. Luey, chief of the parlia- mentary staff of the Daily News and editor of that paper from the beginning of 1886 to the sum- mer Of 1887, also well-known as “Toby” in Punch. PARNELL LISTENED WITH EVIDENT INTEREST to the legal discussion whether the opimons of public menin the parllamentary party could be submitted as evidence, a point which the chiet Justice decided in the negative. If this ruling 1s persevered in, 1 will greatiy curtall the evidence for the Times. In any case the trial is likely to Jast Uo or Unree Weeks.
