Daniel O'CouneH. was at one time defending a man net-used of murder at Clonmel.

The Jury were desired to return their verdict at once, aud they did so. but It was one of guilty. "What!" exclaimed the astonished Judge. "What does this mean? If the man has not heen murdered how can the prisoner be guilty?" Tlease, your honor," said the fore man, "he's guilty. -He stole my bay mare three years ago." Omaha World-Ueraid Church Directory.
