influent; or both;. are foully wronged by the
suspicions tvhich hare been engendered through
the meddling and 'ilicrettiebti interference (of
more than a Single individual) le which we.
have alluded. These letters of Mr. DevtatitYX.,
to our minds, leave the affair worse than they
fotind it—they are iniperfect, unysterious, and un-
satisfactory ! that We learn from them is,
thnt justice has riot been completely done—that
injustice has been done—that the guilty have
uscapeii,• and that, the innocent Intee been falsely
accused, and left under the horrors of a ruined
repntation.Tlyis is Davenettx's statement
" 'Leary perceiving, from the conversation

the aet.lntl.:*rpetration of the crime for which he
was•;tlte next atiorning to sutler, requested Inc to,
draw up an appeal to the Public, in which he
wottlilote said, most solemnly, and most tmequi.
voeally, assert his 'innocence. I accordingly did
draw up the first 'of the following papers, which
he would most tvillingly have signed : he hint
himself; in ilie.course of the night, drawn up,, • and
actually signed the second ; and would have pat
both into the hands of the Sheriff theanntnent be-
fore be WAS launched into eternity, had l'not, on
tnoremature.reflection, thought it prndent to ad-
visc.him Ito suppress then), and to let things take
their ugtlul regular course. (That this latter ob-
ject Was not accomplished is owing to what took,
plAtat frifit/tinikher quarter immediately before his
execution...) In the propriety of my advice, he
most readily and Most cheerfidly acquiesced; and
destroyiV4l, I thought, the papers in his pre-
settee ;, 06 fragments, .however, were, through
the stPiottsaess of one of the turnkeys, collected
and pasted upon limper, and are now in my poi-
session. Their contents are transmitted fur the
satisfaction of the public, and ore, with the ex'
ceptiwi of the names, verbatim as followsi Ibut
they are faithful copies, may be aseertainal brauy
person who will do me the hononr.of calling on
me for the purpose. The slightest iinTection of
them will chew that they were not taken front any
4)4 in any of the passages of the ; th,A
they were not addressed to any of his reititivef.2, in
Ireland ; that they were not, in Short, tither lit-
ters or sealed papers of any description,
de,clarations of Leary's innocence of the 'actual
murder of Cliford."
