Several witnosses were examined to es:ablish the general circumstancos of tho Feuian invasion, a5 wes dooe yesterday. Anthony Sewall, a coustable, #ail ho was told on the after- noon of tie 9th of June that there wero s number of Fenians at Kecle's house, which bad boen their headquarters; went there in & buggy with Asa Rykert aud Levi Trevor; at Ecel's house saw & number of them armod with sabers, carbines and rifles ; jumped out of the buggy ; one of them asked, *where in holl are you going 1" He pulied out Jlis revolver and said that he was going; one of brought his rifle up to ud they both fired at the same moment ; just thon he observed the prisover Madden. who was armed with a saber aud carbine, having bis carbino up st the prescnt. Mr. Devlin objecied to any evidenco of the complicity with the Fenians, because thoro was no overt uct stated in the indictment. After lengthy arguments by counsel on this point the judge overruled the objection. Sewall continusd : Could not say whother the prisoner fired or not. Witness shot him in th side. The mouth of bis revolver being within a few inches of him, prisoner ran across the road; witness shot him again hitting him in the back betwoen the shoulders. A fourth shot missed fire; prisoner ran toward the woods; wituess followed, but falling, dislocated his knce. Guve bis revolver thon to Rykert who brought tho prisoner back; got him into tho buggy and as they drove off, several of the Feninas fired after them. In driviey to Pigeon Iill met the Royal Guides” going to Eoclos. Whilo fu_the bugzy prisoner asked bim to throw him out into tho diteh and let hit dic. (ross examined—While Sewall was firng, all who had Funs wore striking at bim ; prisoncr did ns the rest. A number of witnesses were examined aud corroborated the above. Mr. Deslin then argaed to show that whon the grand jury returnod the indictment againat Madden. they had found bills against the other prisoners, and could not therelore say that ke Jouned himself to divers persons uaknown. After a good deal ‘of discussion by counsel on this point, tho Judge exid it was u duestion for the jury to determine, but indicated his opinion that when the grand jury knew the names of only o few of the 700 or 800 persons who entered the Province, the expression in the indictment was quite corroct. Mr. O'Halloran, Q. C. M. P P, then addressed the jury for the prisoner. He dwelt strongly on the impropriety of invoking alaw lato on the 8th of June Lo punish n s, who was entirely ignorant of it, for what he was doing early on the morn ing of she 9th. Mr. Devlin also addressed the jury, making an cloquont and powerful appeal o behalf of his ciieat. He demiod (hnt thore was any evidonos of tho levyiug of wen on the Sth. Tho party at Ecolo's House when Sowall eame up were selling and destroying their arms, preparing to loave the Province. The fnvasion by the Feninns from the neigbor- ing country was & matter which concorned the honor and dig- ity of the British nati and the relations between the British Empire and the Goves tof the United States, and it was o rulry way of satisfying the national dignity, to sacrifice few s picked up after the invaders had Joft.” At 6 o'clock the Court adjourned till 9§ o'clock to-morrow.
