— + O'BRIEN SENTENCED. [REOTER'S TELEGRAMS— OOPYBIGHT.] London, August 25, The trial of O'Brien took place at Milchellstown yesterday. In the course of the proceedings, Mr Harrington, who defended O'Brien, accused the Government of purposely suppressing the true version of O'Brien's speech, and called upon the Crown counsel to substantiate his statement. The latter, however, denied the truth of the accusation against the Government. The Bench of Magistrates thereupon rebuked Mr Harrington, and threatened his ejectment from the Court if such accusation were repeated. Hr Harrington thereupon abandoned the case. O'Brien was found guilty and sentenced to three months' imprisonment upon two charges, the sentences to be concurrent, He was admitted to bail pending an appeal upon the first sentence.
