When O’Donnell, the slayer of Carey, the informer, was marched from Millbank prison to Bow street, large crowds gathered at every point, and gave vent to cheers and hisses. The prisoner was formally charged with murder on the high sea The hearing was adjourned to Tuesday, Sept 25, to await the arrival of witnesses from Australia It is stated hy the London Times that Avenger O’Donnell is 45 years of age, served in the American rebellion, lived for some time in Philadelphia, and kept a public house on the Canadian border.
