oner whose horrible story of his prison suffer-
ings has produced such painful sensation
throu ghout ireland, arrived in Dublin on sun
day last from Manchester, aud is now III 81.
Vincent's Hospital, Stephens, under the care
of the eminent physician, DR.. w. II. OLeary
DIR. OLeary refuses to allow any one 10 see
him, lest his reason might be disturbed, anu
says, as to his bodily condition. that Nc IS SapH.
BILE of nothing but thinking. His logs and ono
arm are completely paralysed, and the doctor
distinctly ascribes this result to the treatment
the unfortunate political offender received III
the English convict prisons. His own charges
against Jail officials at Chatham anu Miioahh
are simply awful, and, if we'll founded, are a
dissrace-an everlasting disgrace-to En- giana,
| besides being calculated to cause every true
| Irshman's blood to boil with indignation.
And this week letter has been published,
| signed by two witnesses of Reddins orlg'nal
| statement, which declares that all he says Is
| true and adds some particulars or cruelty so
revolving, and so tran>cendng all the prece-
dents in human history, that we stare NJ .ne
words till they seem to run INTO eaGn u,ne -,
and we wonder, in u trance of perplexty or
