O'Brien, Meagher and Mitchel, were selected for prosecution; but the latter was honoured with a double suit one for an article, and the other for a speech.

The Roman military force at Sicca was not more than a century of men; the greater number were at this moment at the great gate, waiting for the mob; a few, in parties of three and four, were patrolling the city.
