For some centuries after the reign of Henry II., the Irish were killed like game, by persons qualified or unqualified. Whether dogs were used does not appear quite certain, though it is probable they were, spaniels as well as pointers; and that, after a regular point by Basto, well backed by Ponto and Caesar, Mr. O'Donnel or Mr.
Afterwards, warlike tales of an irresistible fascination Bonaparte with his little band crossing the bridge at Arcola amid showers of bullets. And then our own generals, not to go further Espartero at Luchana, O'Donnel in Africa, and, above all, Prim, that almost legendary leader, directing the battalion at Castillejos with his sword.
"Very good; that's all right, but can you prove that?" "Why, I can swear it, Sir Robert." "Better still. But do you think he is in the country, O'Donnel?" "I would rather swear he is, sir, than that he is not. He won't lave her aisily." "Who do you mean by her, sir?" "I would rather not name her, your honor, in connection with the vagabond."
"Well, plaise your honor," said O'Donnel, "as they're goin' in that direction, let them turn to the left after passin' the little stranie that crosses the road, I mane on their way home; if they look sharp they'll find a little boreen that but indeed they'll scarcely make it out in the dark, for it's a good way back in the fields I mane the cabin of widow Buckley.
There had arisen, notwithstanding the community of blood, language and religion, an antipathy between the Celts of Ulster and those of the other three provinces; nor is it improbable that the example and influence of Baldearg O'Donnel may have had some effect on the people of the land which his forefathers had ruled.
In a few minutes a liveried servant attended it. "Carson, send O'Donnel here." Carson bowed and retired, and in a few minutes the Red Rapparee entered. "How is this, O'Donnel? Have you thrown aside your uniform?" "I didn't think I'd be called out on duty again to-night, sir." "It doesn't matter, O'Donnel it doesn't matter. What do you think of the bonfire?"
They knew, however, that O'Donnel, the Rapparee, was a good authority on the subject, and the discovery of the pretended mendicant's imposture was a proof of it.
At the same time, Sir Henry Docwray, who commanded another body of troops, took the Castle of Derry, and put garrisons into Newton and Ainogh; and having seized the monastery of Donnegal, near Balishannon, he threw troops into it, and defended it against the assaults of O'Donnel and the Irish. Nor was Sir George Carew idle in the province of Munster.
Their laws, in fact, however barbarous they were in other matters, rendered three cases of drunkenness a cause of expulsion from the gang. O'Donnel, however, had now relaxed from the rigid observation of his own rules, principally for the reasons we have already stated by which we mean, a conviction of his own impunity, as falsely communicated to him by Sir Robert Whitecraft.
Folliard that he had a matter of importance concerning Reilly to mention to him. This was immediately on their return, and before the informations against Reilly were drawn up. Folliard, who knew not what to think, paused for some time, and at! last, taking the sheriff along with him, went! to hear what O'Donnel had to say.
