IRISH AFFAIRS.
(Bv Electric Telegraph— Copyright.) Dublin, January 26. Proceedings have been taken to quash the inquest held at Mitchelstown, in which a verdict of wilful murder was returned against the countv inspector, Mr Brownrigg, and Constables Kinvin, Gavin, Darran, Ryder, and Brennan, and warrants issued for their arrest. The grounds on which it is sought to upset the inquiry are that the Coroner, Mr Bice, was partial, also that certain of the jurors were biassed, it having been shown that they were actively engaged in the riot in which three victims, upon whom an inquest was held, were killed, and that, therefore, the inquiry was not a legal one. A large force of police and military have been dispatched to Galcarragh, as it is feared that bloodshed will result over the arrest of Father Stephens. January 27. Mr T. O'Brien,M.P. forMonaghan North, who was arrested on a charge of inciting the people, has been sentenced to four months' imprisonment. Notice of appeal was given. THE LATEST Dublin, January 29. Mr Cox, M.P., has been sentenced ■it Enuis to four months' with hard labour, for being concerned in a meeting which had been proclaimed. Notice of appeal was given.
