having no suspicion of what was going to occur.
Mullins was invited to go out into the back yard.
He rose to do so, but when he got as far as the door,
a suspicion of what was intended flashed on his
mind Returning for his hat he suddenly closed
the door and shouted " Police !" Several policemen,
armed with pistols, were in the house in . plain
clothes ; and the men in uniform, with fixed bayo-
nets, surrounded and entered the house, when they
captured all the conspirators that had then arrived.
Only one, who fought desperately, and displayed
great courage and presence of mind, effected his
escape. The rest were indicted for simply meeting
to unlawfully conspire, as the Government failed
to get an informer, and Mullins was discovered
before he learned any of the secrets of the society.
His pale
face and calm bearing, besides his adven-
turous daring, ma de him a wonderful object of
s interest. The prisoners were convicted, and sen-
tenced to two years' imprisonment.
Mullins returned to Dublin, and resumed his duty
but he had a wholesome fear of being attacke4 by
e had betraye.d, and applied to be transferred
to b
to the London polic.e. He used to complain bit-
of how badly his services in Ireland were terly
re-
quited, and how the authorities reduced him in
rank when transferring him from Dublin. He said
his wife wanted him to betray the Government
to the conspirators, and was so affected by• the
thoughts of her husband having betrayed her
countrymen (she being a Tipperary woman) that
for years after she laboured under the delusion that
he was haunted by an evil spirit in the night time,
and for this reason would not sleep with him.
While in the police force he succeeded in reco.
vering a large amount of property stolen from Mr.
Emsley, the husband of the deceased, and in conse-
quence of this he was strongly recommended by him .
to the authorities at Scotland-yard for promotion,
was presented with a ring,, and received many
other marks of respect from Emsley.
