(1) We offered no " objections,‘‘ nor do we entertain any ; we gave merely what we conâ€" ceived to be a reasonable explanation of cerâ€" tain circumetances which KHad excited a state of public curiosity that we ‘honestly believed to be excusable, and which, whether excusâ€" able or not, as a matter.of fact, existed.

And with the same ke«nz indefatigable mind engaged in arranging circumstantial evidence of his guilt, is the prisoner to be left to the protection of some fourth or fifthâ€"rate lawyer, whose incapacity might blunder an innocent man‘s neck into ths halter? You observe yourself that "there is a mischievous notion «" abroad that a powerful array of legal talent « is calculated to defeat the ends ot justice." You repudiats the notion, and so do I ; for if it were true, it would apply equally to both sides of the case; and, knowing that Mr. O‘Reilly is a © powerful array " in. bimself, we might fear lest legal justice should beâ€" come, under his influence, illegal severity. I cannot think that the notion is any " libel on the character of the honest jurymen of Carleton," in particular; it simply shows how little many persons understand the true nature of a judicital trial. ‘One thing, I conâ€" fess, puszles me, and that is that you should almoit at the same moment repudiate the notion that a powerful array of legal talent tends to defeat the ends of justice, and yet proceed yoursslf to put the " honest jurymen of Carleton" orf their guard "against the extra preparations fot defence." l In the second place, as to the hint that the money came from Fenian sources, I would jost remark, Whelan is on trial, not for Feâ€" nianism, but for murder. It is a matter of toleraâ€" ‘blo certainty that bhe is a Fenian, but that does not prove that he murdered poor McGece. If Whelan were on his trial for Fenianism, i, e., if the thing to be proved were that he beâ€" longed to a certain set of treasonable men, then ‘to accept money which those men had raised for his defence would bo a disgraceful act, becauss the very raising otf the money would be all but pousitive proof that the man was what he was accused of being. The case is quits different, however, when he is brought to trial for murder. ‘The fact (supposing it to be a fact) that Foenians have raised money for him, simply proves that they have a certain iunterest in him, not that he is guilty .of the crime laid to his charge. (2) Therefore I vonâ€" ture to maintain that even had the Hon.J. i. Cumeron know», that certain money which was offered to him was made up of Fenian contributions he was under no obligation to refuse it,‘sa) so long as he was only asked to lend his aid to secure the accused what every man in the British dominions is entitled toâ€" a fair trial. A corREsroxpext sends us the following letter, and in spite of the, pressure on our columns we give it insertion, as we have no possible desite to act otherwise than with the utmost impartiality. To the letter we have appended a few brief comments, though we hardly think the tenor of our remarks could have been misapprehended by our readers : Te the Editor of THE TIMES. \ , Drear Sirâ€"Will you ailow me to say that there is something in the tone of your article of this morning on the Whelan. trial which strikes me as rathor unfair? Speaking of the counsel for the defence you say: "Such an. " unusual array cf professional talent may; "well excuse the public curiosity which exâ€" "i:ts concerning‘ the means which have « brought it about ; but these means no doubt «may be conveniently designated as consistâ€" «ing chiefly in money, and it may further be «surmised that this money is drawn chicfly " from Fenian or proâ€"Fenian sources." Now in the first place . as to money being the consideration for which Whelan‘s, lawyers . bave undertsken his case, I imagine that money is the usual considerstion in all such caser. | It is not often, at leut,! that we see an eminent lawyer undertaking a troublesome case gratuitously, and out of pure charity ; and besides, I can bardly think that, if that had been done in the present inâ€" stance, those who share your: objections to. money as an agent would have been any better pleased.
