John Mullany, a Fenian " centre," and one of the

prisoners accused of blowing up Clerkenwell Prison, has turned Queen's evidence. His testimony implicates Barrett, the man arrested at Glasgow, as the one who actually fired the barrel. It appears that the accused are all taken by surprise at the treachery, as they think it, of Mullany, which will probably be fatal to them. It is strange that the abler among them cannot see that a conspiracy in which almost every third man is ready to betray the other two, —in which, in fact, they are compelled to enlist men they cannot trust for a moment, is foredoomed to failure. The revelations made in the Courts are nothing to the revelations placed privately in the hands of Government.
