The Solicitor-General for Ireland showed that Mr. Dillon had boasted

that there were tenants in Ireland able to pay their rents, and who would not pay them because he had told them not to do so; he quoted the threats to jurors which United Ireland had published, in such an article, for instance, as the one headed" Jurors upon their Trial," and he cited the deliberate announcement made by the editor that till Ireland was free, even jurors could not be allowed to decide by their honest convictions, but must be compelled to take the people's part. Farther, he showed that the juries empanelled after the Crown had challenged so many of the jurors, had acquitted many of the prisoners, and recommended others to mercy.
