POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
The endeavours to retard the Irish State prosecutions are kept up. The defendants' counsel obtained the sanction of the Court, on Thursday, for comparing one of the copies of the indictment with the original. An application for a " complete" copy of the indictment, a copy of the "
caption" having been omitted, was for the time successfully met by the objection that notice of the motion must be given to the Crown counsel; notice to be given in writing.
The indictment had been given out, and an abstract of it overruns the papers. It contains eleven counts, filling sixty closely-printed pages The first count occupies fifty-five pages, and charges forty- three overt acts ; comprising an account of proceedings at the several Repeal meetings, beginning with that at Trim in March last.
