ulcC or acqutttal DfoughJ IN by the jury
last night, in the case Of the Fenian pris-
oner DrummoEd, the Judge addressed the
prisoner as follows: f.
Daniel Drummond, the jury have acquit-
ted you. You bore agood character before
you became connected with this affair, and
that has perhaps helped you. But at the
least 1t must be said chat you we've under
circums tances which were very suspicious,
which you yourself must have felt would
have warranted them in concluding that
you were thrra as one of those people. You
bestknow whether you were there or not
as one OF them. But let this be lesson to
you. The great error Of impulsiVe men
like you is, that at times they engage in en-
terprises and do things, more especiallyif
there are number of people associated in
the undertaking, which otherwise they
would not do. In future be more swayed
by your judgment and less by impulse
Reflect on all the circumstances of your
acts You are man, and should think
mOreconcerning that which you undertake.
They say you are a good workman and
can earn high wages. So, now,i to your
work; get these high wages, and if you can
better yourself do IL. The whole line of
occupation is open to you and to all. AS
have said. impulsive men like you engage
In unlawful enterprises, and where num-
Der are committed to it you 90 recklesslv,
more like savages than civilized men. Go,
and be careful. ., ... .-. .. ..i..
Letter from Col. Lynch. a
The following letter. written by the con-
demned. Fenian prisoner Lynch, is pub
lishGd in the Leader newspaper!
tH to. MILITARY Prison.
TORONTO, Nov. 9th, 1865
To the Editor Of the Leader: You would
much Obige the Undersigned by correcting
a false statement made in your issue of the
9TH inst. in an article headed "Fenians,"
with reference to myself and family. The
undersigned is the son of the late Thomas
Lynch, of Headford, county OF Galway.
Ny father never was in the British army,
but private country gentleman, and a
younger branch OF the Lynches Of BOlley-
aman Castle, county Mays, my uncle, the
late Captain Peter Lynch, of BOllyamen,
being the first Catholic high sheriff of Mays
county, by the emancipation act. My
mother was neither English or Protestant,
| but, thank God, Catholic and Irish. | have
no brother in the British service, and but
one now living for the last twenty years
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. So that instead
of my father and mother being adherents
OF the Church OF England, which | have
no doubt would be of much service to mt
at the late trial, / have the honor to belong
to one of the Oldest Catholic families in the
west of Ireland, and one OF the twelve
tribes Of the ancient city of Galway.
Respectfully,
ROBERT BLAss LYNCH.
