4 Qneof the drollest scsnes of yItuperatio
that O'Conncfl ever figured in took place i

opposite the Four Courts. She was a yirage
of the first order. vers able with her fist, and
still more formidable tongue. From one END

the use of her own weapons. OF this,
however. he had some doubts himself when
he had listened once or twice to some minor
specimens Of her Billipsgate. It wasilootcd
af,ce whether the young Kerry barrester
could encounter her, and some Of the COM

freely ridiculed the idea OF his being able to
meet the famous Madame Moriarty. o'Con-
nell never liked to be put down, and he pro-
fessed his readiness TO encounter her and
even backed hiniself for the match. Bets
were offered and taken; it was decided that
the match should come off at once

time O'Conlieirs own party and the louneers
lsout the place formed an audience quite sui
licient to arouse Mrs. Moriarty, on public
provoeation, to q due exhibition of her pow
