Pick two pounds of currans from the stalks, then take a pound and a half of loaf sugar, and wet it in half a pint of curran juice, put in the berries, and boil them over a slow fire till they are clear; when cold put them in small berry bottles, with a little mutton suet over them.
The prosecutor, however, had stated every thing truly; and it was known afterwards that the almanack with which the counsel came provided, had actually been prepared and printed for the occasion! Horse Trials. In the art of cross-examining a witness, Curran was pre-eminent. A clever repartee is recorded of him in a horse cause.
Curran, the Irish orator, when a youth, had a strong defect in his articulation, and at school he was known as "stuttering Jack Curran."
Rousseau said 'philosophy can do nothing that religion cannot do better, and religion can do many things which philosophy cannot do at all. But Atheists believe religion the most formidable evil with which progressors have to cope, and see in philosophy that mighty agent in the work of improvement so beautifully described by Curran as the irresistible genius of universal emancipation.
But, above all, I would desire to respect the bar of my own country, and the Irish bar the bar made illustrious by such memories as those of Grattan and Flood, and the Emmets, and Curran, and Plunket, and Saurin, and Holmes, and Sheil, and O'Connell. I may add, too, of Burke and of Sheridan, for they were Irish in all that made them great.
There was a rapt expression upon his face; plainly nothing existed for him at that moment outside the pages of his book. After a brief space, the coroner came in, "Ah, how do you do, gentlemen," greeted he. He was good-natured and strove to be easy; but his natural nervousness clung to him. "I am glad to see you." He looked at Curran and nodded at the three inquiringly.
Curran gives quite an exhaustive article on the disease called in olden times "eaten of worms," a most loathsome malady. Herod the Great, the Emperor Galerius, and Philip II of Spain perished from it.
What the deuce am I up against now? I thought, and my heart beat quickly. Yet retreat was impossible, and I answered with assumed carelessness: "I am, most assuredly, Colonel Curran." "From Ohio?" This was certainly coming after me with a vengeance, and I stole one quick glance at the girl's face. It was devoid of suspicion, merely evincing a polite interest.
"Have patience, my friend," said Curran; "speak to the landlord civilly, and tell him you are convinced you must have left your money with some other person. Take a friend with you, and lodge with him another hundred in the presence of your friend, and then come to me."
On the contrary his finest skill was required, and methods as safe as if Dillon were sure to turn out Endicott. He sharpened his blade for the coming duel with Anne, whom Monsignor had warned, without doubt. However, Anne had received no warning and she met Curran with her usual reserve. He was smoothly brutal. "I would like to know if you are acquainted with Mr. Horace Endicott?" said he.
