The trial of Father Peeherine and Hamilton, at Dublin, began

yesterday. The ease for the prosecution was stated by the Attorney-General ; the evi- dence on that side was heard ; and Mr. O'Hagan, for the defence, concluded his speech. Further proceedings were adjourned until today.

At the Taunton Assizes, on Thursday, Thomas Tutton was tried for at- tempting to poison his father. The ease excited great interest, as the chief witnessea were the father, mother, and four sisters of the accused. "The cries and screams of the women when brought into court to give their evi- deuce were appalling." The Jury, after brief consultation, found a verdict of "Not guilty."
