While considerable of the evidence
introduced by the crown at the pre-
liminary examination at London of Sir
Roger. Easement and Daniel Julian
Bailey, an Irish soldier, facing charges
of high treason, tended to incriminate
the latter, the main attack was direct
ed against Easement in an effort to
establish the leading part he is alleg,
ed to have played in instigating the
recent Irish revolt.
Sir Rogers attorneys did little cross
examining, their few questions seem
ing to show the freedom Of Ireland
was the only thing involved and that
the Irish brigade Sir Roger is accus-
ed of recruiting was not an attempt
to assist Germany.
