Excerpt from A Report of the Proceedings on an Indictment for a Conspiracy: In the Case of the Queen V. Daniel O'connell, John O'connell, Thomas Steele, Charles Gavan Duffy, Rev. Thomas Tierney, Rev. Peter James Tyrrell, Richard Barrett, John Grady, and Thomas Matthew Ray, in Michaelmas Term, 1843, and Hilary Term, 1844

The original intention of the Reporters was to have published a full Report of the Trial, with only short notes of the deci sions of the Court on the several motions made in the course of Michaelmas Term, 1843. After a considerable part of the work had been printed, at the suggestion of several gentle men of the Bar, they resolved on publishing a report of the arguments and judgments on the preliminary motions. In consequence of this alteration in the original plan of the Report, the pages from 25 to 120, are duplicates. In order to prevent confusion, and to afford a facility of reference, the duplicate numbers have been printed with an asterisk. The Reporters avail themselves of this Opportunity of acknow ledging the urbanity and kindness of the Lord Chief Justice, and the other Judges of the Court; and to the Counsel em ployed, they have -also to express their obligations for the assistance afforded them.
