O’Brien explained that lie had made the statement attributed to him believing that the jury was being canvassed against him. Ho now expressed his -sincere -regrets for the improper action he had been guilty of, and affirmed l that he did not intend to influence the juror who complained of his conduct. The respondent was fined £3OO and ordered to pay the costs of the* present case and of the previous abortive trial. j[The cable message of July 24th stated that an action at Cork Assizes, Hon.
