per, and sent.oue of Mrs, Clifford's children down to bur
row twopence.- how cart you reconcile this part with your
declaration ?

Leary:---4 know you will not oelieve tile; I confess mr guilt,
and do not expcirt pierce. • I was present, and neat Cllol.igh to

of what WCarthy charges nie with passed my lips.
Colonel.—Nell, Leary, 1 ani sorry to Mid you persevere in

person would believe me. I shall leave yon now; as the Rev.

have prevented it ; but I did not commit the murder.
