It was quite clear, from the circumstances we are about to relate, that the red miscreant had intended to rob Folliard's house on the night of his attack upon it, in addition to the violent abduction of his daughter. We must premise here that Reilly and the Rapparee were each strongly guarded in different rooms, and the first thing the latter did was to get some one to inform Mr.
The ablest lawyers were obtained, but Whitecraft most positively objected to Folliard's proposal of engaging Doldrum as his attorney; he knew the stupidity and ignorance of the man, and would have nothing to do with him as the conductor of his case. His own attorney, Mr.
"I do not!" "You do not? What did he say when the jewels were found upon him?" "He refused to surrender them to Mr. Folliard as having no legal claim upon them, and refused, at first, to place them in any hands but Miss Folliard's own; but, on understanding that she was not in a state to receive them from him, he placed them in mine."
The uncertainty of Folliard's character, however, was so well known, and his whimsical changes of opinion such a matter of proverb among the people, that many persons said to each other: "The cracked old squire is in one of his tantrums now; he'll be a proud man if he can convict Reilly to-day; and perhaps to-morrow, or in a month hence, he'll be cursing; himself for what he did for that's his way."
Now, is it not a fact, of which you were an eye-witness, that the jewellery in question was found upon the person of the prisoner at the bar, in Mr. Folliard's house?" "I must confess that I saw him about to be searched, and that a very valuable case of jewellery was found upon his person." "Yes, found upon his person a very valuable case of jewellery, the property of Mr.
I owe you no ill will, but in the meantime you must return with me to Squire Folliard's house. Miss Folliard, you must, as you know me to be your father's friend, consider that I feel it my duty to restore you to him." "I am not without means of defence," replied Reilly, "but the exercise of such means would be useless. Two of your lives I might take; but yours, Mr.
Folliard's country attorney, and, in consequence of his strong Protestant politics, was engaged as the law agent of his property; and for the same reason that is, because he was a violent, he was considered a very able man.
In his present position, however, all he could do was to stand on his guard; and with this impression strong upon him he resolved to put no confidence in the words of the Rapparee. Folliard's saddle for such was his name with the skirt of his cothamore, and removed the hoar frost or rime which had gathered on it, he brought the animal over to him, and said, with a kind of rude courtesy,
Wasn't he in love with the beautiful Cooleen Bawn, Squire Folliard's daughter? 'That's not the question between us, he said, 'but if you enable me to catch Reilly, I will give you twenty pounds. 'Well, your honor, says I, 'lave the thing to myself; if he is to be had it'll go hard but I'll find him. 'Well, then, says he, 'if you can tell me where he is I will give you twenty pounds, as I said. 'Well, sir, says I, 'I expect to hear from you; I am not sure he's in the country indeed they say he is not but if he is, I think I'll find him for you; and so we parted."
"Then he considered that they were Miss Folliard's personal property, and not her father's?" "So it seemed to me from what he said at the time." "That will do, sir; you may go down."
