The court opened at ten with a crowded gallery as Mr Whiteside addressed the indictment against Coffe Nation and the repeal agitation. He argued that conspiracy implied a shared sentiment, not criminal guilt, and cautioned the jury against creating legal precedents. He attacked the government’s stance on demonstrations, defended O Connell, and praised Irish enthusiasm and historical struggle while noting potential defenses for Steele and possible future speeches.

Fate of Colonels Stoddert and Conolly Still Uncertain
Reports from Lord Stuart de Rothesay and Sir Stratford Canning detail conflicting accounts of Colonel Stoddert and Captain Conolly. A caravan leader in Bokhara claimed they were taken to the Khan's palace days after the Russian mission left in 1842, with no clear word on their fate. Witnesses in Bokhara and Herat recount possible executions but offer no conclusive evidence, while British officials press for corroboration from St. Petersburg and Teheran.
