[BKDTKR'S telegram.)
London, September 25. 1 The trial of O'Brien took place at Mitcheltown yesterday. In the course of the proceedings Mr. Harrington, -who defended O'Brien, accused the Government of purposely suppressing the . true version of ' O'Brien's speech, and called - upon the Grown Counsel to substantiate his statement, who, however, denied the truth of the allegation against the Government. The bar of magistrates thereupon rebuked Mr. Harrington, and threatened his ejectment from the Court if such accusations were repeated. Mr. Harrington thereupon abandoned the case. O'Brien was found guilty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment upon two charges, the sentences to be concurrent. He was admitted to bail, pending an appeal upon the first sentence.
