"Think a little then, for you must tell them; you said the job had been talked over; what was it that had been talked over?" The witness gave a stolid look at the counsel, but answered nothing. "Come," continued Mr. Allewinde, "what was the job that had been talked over?" "Bad manners to the likes of me; but I war niver cute, and now I'm bothered intirely."
"Why man! what did you see?" asked Mr. Allewinde. "Nothing particular." "Had you your eyes open?" No answer. "Now by virtue of your oath were your eyes open?" No answer. "Come, sir, I must, and will have an answer; on your solemn oath were your eyes open when you walked by that field?" At last, after various renewed questions, the witness says, "No." "Did you shut them by accident?"
Allewinde, is endeavouring to make that unfortunate and thoroughly disconcerted young man in the witness box, swear to a point diametrically opposite to another point to which he has already sworn at the instigation of counsel on the other side, and thereby perjure himself.
Allewinde, "that it was he who killed Captain Ussher?" "Shure he made no bones about it all but told me straight out that he'd killed him in the avenue." "Did he say why he had done so?" "Faix I don't remember his saying thin why he'd done it and I didn't think to ask him. He was in a flurry like, as war nathural, and he and I carrying the dead man that'd been hearty only a few minutes afore!
In the meantime McKeon had given his evidence in the court and had left the table Mr. Allewinde having declined to cross-examine either him or Father John. There was then a pause of some little duration in court, during which Mr.
As this injunction in each case reached Thady's ear, he moved his eyes upon the man who was then being sworn, as if demanding from him that true deliverance to which he felt himself entitled. And now the prisoner having pleaded, the indictments read, and the jury armed with pen, ink, and paper, Mr. Allewinde, full of legal dignity and intellectual warmth, rises to his subject.
His lordship in submitting the case to you will give you doubtless the necessary caution against allowing excited feelings to have any influence over the verdict to which you shall come." Mr. Allewinde then sat down, and after the lapse of one or two minutes the judge turned to the jury, and spoke his charge to them upon the question.
"I'm sure my learned friend will not press it; it's very seldom he makes such a slip as that." Mr. Allewinde had asked a leading, and therefore an unallowable question. "Why the witness had just said that he supposed it was this thing about Captain Ussher," said Mr. Allewinde. "I'll say no more about it," continued Mr. O'Malley, "feeling perfectly certain that you will not press the question."
"That'll do," said Mr. Allewinde. "I've done with this witness, my lord." Mr. O'Malley then rose, but before he began to cross-examine the witness, he addressed the judge. "There's a witness in court, my lord, whom I shall have to examine by and by on the defence, and I must request that he may be directed to absent himself during my examination of the witness now in the chair.
Allewinde was also to conduct that, and he wanted some rest after his exertions; and as he walked out with triumph, some minor cases were brought forward for disposal, and Mr. O'Laugher rushed into the other court to defend Terence O'Flanagan before Mr. Justice Kilpatrick, against the assaults made upon his pocket by that willow-wearing spinster, Letitia Murphy.
