gorge to hear that other miserable charge, that you were
too selfish to think of getting out any others of your fellow
prisoners. This reminds one of the criticisms of the brave
men who stayed at home on the conduct of the general in
the fight, and who can always show he might do better.
But one man could positively have been taken out that night
if we had had tho time, and that was poor Charles J. Kick-
man, whose infirmities—he being almost entirely deaf and
very-near sighted—would have seriously jeopardised the
arrangements for your escape. When it is remembered that
you were not imprisoned two weeks altogether, it is truly a
marvel how the arrangements could have been made for
oven your escape. The making of the skeleton keys alone
was a wonder, and will•always be a tribute of merit to the
locksmith, Mr. —, who did the work so perfectly. I have
heard it stated that the thousandth part of an inch would
have made the affair a failure. I claim one credit to myself
in the entire matter, and Mr. Marquis, the lachrymose Go-
vernor, will readily accord it to me, and that was the energy
with which I stuck the pitchfork into cabbage beds and
rubbish straw in the garden, as if to give you the finishing
touch in the morning, after it was discovered his cherished
bird had flown. Those of my countrymen in this country
who served with me in the Papal Brigade will readily re-
cognise my name, as well as from the published account• of
my arrest and trial. In conclusion, I pledge you that lam
ready once more to take up arms whenever you call on me.
When you do return, as you have promised to do this year,
you will meet with men as ready, and more determined to
die than before.—l have the honour to subscribe myself, as
ever, yours devotedly and fraternally,
"DANIEL BYRNE,
. " Late Warder, Richmond Bridewell, Dublin."
This letter was referred to in the meeting of the
corporation yesterday, and a communication was
read from Mr. Patrick Byrne, brother of Daniel
Byrne, a respectable and trustworthy man, in which
he assures the Board of Superintendence of City
Prisons that the letter must be a fabrication, as his
brother, the alleged writer, had gone to Australia.
If the letter be a fabrication it is cleverly done, but
perhaps not too cleverly for the genius of the Head
Centre. Daniel Byrne, however, may have imposed
on his brother, and have gone to America while
pretending to go to Australia.. If this be so, justice
has let slip one of the worst of the Fenian traitors.
