man, and, having , risen, by his own efforts
above the bumble position of his own family,
he hail but little personal interest. The
atrocities committed at Wexford, and the
horrible story of the barn at SeUllahogue,
had produced a strong foelit* against all
prisoners from the south ; and their afpli•
cations to thaiLord-bieutenant were tuft by
a cool official mist% er.

The rebellide had Ellen no" relative but
her• brother. The serving-man, who had
lived in the lodge, had also loaf his life in the •'
insurrection, and his place had never been
filled up. The brother and sister, and an
old woman servant, now formed the whole
honschold. .Owing to the political troqides
of the country, the land belonging to them I
was then in great part uncultivated ; but
the brother collected such rents as could be
recoaered, and the Howley s, though impov
erished, were still in easy circumstances. •
Roche aoconmanied the brother in fishing or
shouting excursions on the batiks of the Sla

political matters, and hinted that the rebel- '

The appointed twelve months Wad nearly
passed aw ay, when one of thou minor out
breaks which, for many year,4, folloaed at
intervals the suppression of the Great Re
bellion, again involved Ole Howley family in
trouble. On the Illth of July (the anol rer
sary of the battle of the 13oyne4 a party of
the Society of Orangemen, which had grown
bolder than ever since the triumph of the
ItCyalists, assembled in the town of Wexford,
and matched across the bridge, and through
I am principal streets, in procession, carry:.
ing banners inserilted with mottoes offensive
to the Catholics, and preceded by muftis
Cillaa playing " ()topples lie down,':- and
other finies known to be irritating•to- them.
The Ribbonmon remained in-doors ; but it
was whispered about that it was intended to
light bonfires in the streets at night, and to
horn in effigy some of the favorite leaders
of the United Irishmen, who had knflered for
their treason ; and it 60011 became known
that a riot wonid take place. The, Orange,
men, who have since 'been found to be' so
Wachtel/on/I,a body, were, in those days of
party warfare, openly encouraged by the au
thorities, and lookeriiPon as a useful bar•
rier against the revolutionary iipied of the
common people. No p'aing,lherefore„ were
taken to stop their proceedings, and several
frays ensued, in which some lives went lost.
"One of these occurred in the market-place,
where a lefts fire had been made. The at

Suspicion, casting about for vino person
known to have a plausible zatitive for the
crime, was not long in finding:a victim. It
WU remembered that the murdered man had
been a witness against young llCrwley on his
trial ; he was, moreover, said t,) , i f “)MO, to
have openly boasted of haviug,tith his own
hand, cut down the father at the tight at Vin
egar Hill. This clue WU at ,ence seized,
and, on the night following the prtm g c riot,
young Howley was forested, mid conveyed
to the jail at-Wexford.
,Evidcnce, true or raise, alisquickly lira
cured against him. One of the Orange pazty
now conic forward, and (for ths first time)
stated, that as lteetood near the angle of
the dead wall, on the. night of lie murder,
he heard a voice, which - rottoulzed im
mediately as that of Howley. x.c)aitninfa
"By the holy. Ghost, I'll o a hole
through that rillian !" Im te r after
which, he heard the report alr, ,
feariewthat there was.
the Ribbon party at band, tied with .etl)ors.
Young Howley admitted that be w/# at
Wexford that night, and that to, carried his
gun with him, but solemnly denied that he
was the murderer of Foster ; declaring that
lie had never heard of hie boast of haring
slain his father until that moment, and that
he did not believe it, Nor could any witness
now"he found who had ever heard of such a
boast. But the magib ire tcs committed him ;
a special commission was appointed; and,
for the second tune, young Howley was to, be
tried fur his life.
On the day of 'l.r brothe'r's apprehension,
Ellen ley had written to licr hirer the
intelligence of her new trouble, and sasikin
imploring that assistance which had Already
served to t-tactic him frcm a violent death.
But thc difficulty was now maatrit than be
fore. The trial was to take Placo at '
ford, insteacr of at Dublin; and the inhatili
tants .of that town werc.strooglyagainst the
rioters. Roche knew that it would he.e.m•
treinely dangerous to the prisoner if he:ivere
to plead s his cautte a second time. I.le,
therefore, covertly instrucced a barrister, who

The appr ranco of this fhliatio, T v*, whether
