Correzctiox.—Our attention has been called to an article in Tue Examiner of the 13th inst., signed ‘‘*,*,” respecting the trial of Millman for the murder of Mary Tuplin, wherein it is stated that ‘‘ Mr. F.

Mr. Peters has been retained by the Attorney General in the usual way as junior counsel, and the Tuplin family have had nothing what- ever todo with such retainer, nor was the retainer first offered to any other counsel, as stated in the article to which we refer.

A Glergyman Keleased.

Dusuin, Jan. 18, Father Matthew Ryan, the priest im-

with the plan of campaign, was released to-day. Ten thousand persons collected around the prison, and when he emerged he was received with prolonged cheers. many members of the clergy crowded around him, and congratulated him upon his release. The priest was driven to a ho- tel. The police force and military were on duty to prevent disorder. A crowd escort- ed Father Ryan 14 miles to his parish at Herbertstown. The police followed the whole distance, and were delayed half way by a car drawn across the road. Father Ryan was thus enabled, on his arrival home, to address the people without inter- ference. He advised the tenants to adopt the plan of campaign.

Australia against the proprietor of a Rich- mond newspaper. For some reason that does not appear, the editor did not esteem a certain lawyer very highly, and was accustomed to omit his name from the report of law trials in which he participated; therefore the lawyer brought suit for $1,000 damages. The Justice, in dismiss- ing the case at the plaintiff's cost, remark- ed :—** 1 do not knowof any law which com- pels a newspaper proprietor to publish re- ports of anything.” +
