RALPn MoHUN-A: WILD IRISH STORY.
II was in ths beginning Of December,
lS4-, (said Fred Carew); We were sitting
down to dinner after capital days cock
shooting besides myself there were Lord
Clonturf, Mohun and Kate, my wife-when
we were disturbed by perfect hail Of knocks
at the hall door. Old Dan Tucker Or the
Spectre Horseman never clamored more
loudly for admittance. p ti
Fritz, Mohun's old Austrian servant, went
down TO see what was up, and, on opening
abe door, was instantly borne down by the
tumultuous rush Of Michael Kelly, gentle
man, agent to half dozen estates, and At
torney at law. In the two last capacities
he had given, it seems, great umbrags to
the neighboring peasantry, and they had
caught him that night as he returned home,
intending to put him to death with that in-
genuity Of torture for which the fine warm-
hearted fellows are justly celebrated. ii
They did not wish to hurry over the en-
tertainment, 80 they confined him in an up
per chamber, while they called their friends
and neighbors to rejoice with them, carous-
ing meanwhile joviaiiy below.
The victim consrived to let himself down
from the window. and ran for his life to the
nearest house, which, unluckily, happend to
ba the Lo,ue. Two bows. however. saw
and reeoon;zed him, ma he entered the deInes-
ne. and rs;sed a vhoop. to show that they
knew where The for had rome to ground.
