is heard a stentorian voice:--

Mr. Bracken--I am summoned here as a crown witness. My name is Thomas
Bracken. I went, heart and soul into that procession (applause)--

Mr. Anderson, junior--I don't know this gentleman.

Mr. Bracken--I am very proud that neither you nor any one like you
knows me (applause).

Mr. Dix--I cannot hear you.

Mr. Bracken--I have been brought here as a crown witness away from my
business, and losing my time here.

Mr. Donal Sullivan--I am another, and I avow myself in the same way.

Several voices--"So am I."

Mr. Bracken--I want to know why I should be taken from my business,
by which I have to support my family, and put me before the eyes of
my countrymen as a crown witness (applause)? I went heart and soul
into the procession, and I am ready to do the same to-morrow, and
abide by the consequences (applause). It is curious that the
government should point me out as a crown witness.

Mr. Murphy--I ask for an adjournment till to-morrow.

Mr. Dix--It is more convenient to adjourn now.
