From the Cork Examiner, July 10.
Notwithstanding the cunning and cleverness |
Of James Carey, and his violently expressed de- |
termination to remain In Ireland, he was at the
lastmoment completely bafied BY the action ofthe
authorities, and was obliged to leave the cOun-
try without receiving one farthing reward for
his service as approver. Not only this, but the
iord-lieutenant refused to grant him written
pardon, aud he took his departure from Dublin |
detected and disappointed man. As it turns
out his threats to resume his place in the cor |
bricklayer In Dublin, were but empty boasts,
for when the test came he demOnstra-
ted that he was glad to procure safety
on any terms. He believed he had got the gov
eminent in difficulty; that they could not
keep him in prison; and that they would have to
pay handsomely to induce him to 60 away. But,
deep cOnspirator as he was, he was entirely out
witted and 80 Unexpectedly that he seemed
paralyzed at his helpless position. and suddenly
submitted to proceed to a distant land. The
manner in which his acquiesence was obtained
was very simple. His applications for written
pardon were unheeded his demands for terms
were unanswered; his brother Peter was re-
moved from his company, so that he did not
know what had become Of him; other informers
had left the prison, and he knew not whittier
they had gone. He began to suspect that some
thing had been dene with his family, and the
expression in the letter appended-written
shortly before he was taken from kilmainham-
shows he was suspicious that they had been, as
he terms it, kidnapped" Carey's elder children
were first sent away; then his wife and the
younger members of his family followed, 1t being
intimated that the ApprOver-lnvinciblc would
meet them at certain port. Suddenly, at night,
it was made known to Carey that he was to leave
the prison. He started with amaZement and In
quired what the government intended to do
with him. What, he asked. was to he his re-
ward? What provision had been made for his
| projections? He was struck dumb with astOnish-
ment when informed that he would receive no
| reward; neither would protection be extended
| to him. and he could now make his choice
either to go to the colony, for which his passage
! had been paid or the door was open to him to
| walk out a free man amongst the citizens. Being
assured that 1t was the decision Of the authOri-
| ties, his fury seemed to consume him, and when
the question was put whether he would take
his liberty or his passage to another CLINE he
| got overcome with fear at the prospect OF being
turned out in the streets. Finally the news was
! impaired to him that his wife and seven chill
dren were already aboard ship ready to SAIL and
unless he chose to join them, their passages
having been paid, he would have but little
chance Of meeting them for considerable time.
This last blow overwhelmed him, and he sulkily
| bowed to the inevitable and consented to rid
Ireland of his presence forever No time was
| lost in acting upon this decision, for Carey's
passage ticket had been secured and his COM
mon outfit purchased. Where he has gone none
but the authorities know, and their secret is
certain to be we'll kept.
