 Farmer. Jasus be wid ye, Cheering mp as he took his departure for the tavern to which he was directed.
 He had not sate here above an hour,ere he was joined by the friendly 'doorkeeper, who afier tossing of a noggin of potyeen. accompanied him to Curran's house in Ely place.
 MT. Curran heard the mans story, and instantly saw through the whole affair. He knew Rooney by report to be sly, artiui scoundrel. and that success in recovering the money would depend on the utmost ni- cety of management. He resolved, 'here- fore. to give his instructions to the coun- tryman by piece-meal, afraid to trust him with too much at one time, in case ot bung- ling and being we'll aware of the confu- sion of ideas which any matter ot import ance invariably produces in the muddy brain of an uneducated Irishman.
 Having settled his tactics, he said:

 Farmer. o murdher tiff it's hundred pounds of potatoes we mane, I could do U ,asil, but money I've notion it's entlre .. Curran. But cannot your relatives assist you? You will require it only for few Jays, and I give you my word that you shall take it back to Tipperary as hope you shall have the hundred pounds you have lost.
 Farmer. Sure I've got an old uncle, my mo, hers own brother. that's worth oceans of money ,and it'stworlh trying for yer ho- nor.
