The Dublin evening post will be happy to hear
that Mr.. Richard O'Gormln was in the hands of
Mr.. Little. r. NJ, who, however, the Post will be
mortified to learn, let him slip through his fingers,
more properly from his arm. Before the steam
boat was searched at tho quay of KiIrush, we
have already stated. Mr.. Little and the police
were standing on the stones devourng with their
eyes every male passenger who happened 10 be
standing or sitting, walking or loungng on the
deck of the vessel The plank was put out and
the passengers disembarked. stepping out on the
landing with considerable alacrity, and walking
the gauntlet between the flies OF police. There
was an old lady however, of sailcw complexion,
and dressed sone say, in black who got out with
some difficulty, and toItering good deal and con.
planning not a little, was making her way up tne
slip to where Mr.. Little, r. NJ happened 90 be
standing. His attention was attracted his gal.
lantrv was reused, and he courteCusy decended
offered his arm and led the feeble old lady up to
tho landing. LiHe did he Know who the lads
was. We are positively assured she was Richard
O'Gormon-that he WIS among the passengers
numbers assert; and that information to tha
effect furnished Mr. Little, is perlocly obvou,
from his presence on the spot He is said to have
