He was committed for trial. A man named Mullane has been sentenced to a month's hard labour, and ordered to find sureties to keep the peace for six months, for striking the editor of a local paper a violent blow on the face as he was walking down the street reading a paper. Defendant pleaded that the paper had commented on the Parnell party, but he was really instigated by a third party, who has a grievance against the paper.
