Sivu 270 - TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your Majesty,
Sivu 268 - The forfeiture of lands has relation to the time of the fact committed, so as to avoid all subsequent sales and incumbrances; but the forfeiture of goods and chattels has no relation backwards; so that those only which a man has at the time of conviction shall be forfeited.
Sivu 183 - I would rather be Fitzgerald, as he. is now, wounded in his dungeon, than Pitt at the head of the British Empire. What a noble fellow ! Of the first family in Ireland, with an easy fortune, a beautiful wife...
Sivu 138 - God ! our visit was timed to the moment that the wretched situation allowed of. His mind had been agitated for two days, and the feeling was enough gone, not to be overcome by the sight of his brother and me. We had the consolation of seeing and feeling that it was a pleasure to him. I first approached his bed: he looked at me, knew me, kissed me, and said (what will never depart from my ears), * It is heaven to me to see you !' and, shortly after, turning to the other side of his bed, he said,
Sivu 255 - But when judgment is once pronounced, both law and fact conspire to prove him completely guilty ; and there is not the remotest possibility left of any thing to be said in his favour. Upon judgment therefore of death, and not before, the attainder of a criminal commences: or upon such circumstances as are equivalent to judgment of death ; as judgment of outlawry on a capital crime, pronounced for absconding or fleeing from justice, which tacitly confesses the guilt. And therefore either upon judgment...
Sivu 220 - ... keep up a well-directed fire. «' However well exercised standing armies are supposed to be, by frequent reviews and sham battles, they are never prepared for broken roads, or enclosed fields, in a country like ours, covered with innumerable and continued intersections of ditches and hedges, every one of which are an advantage to an irregular body, and may with advantage be disputed against an army, as so many fortifications and entrenchments.
Sivu 146 - I could to the four quarters of it! — that amongst you, your ill-treatment has murdered my brother, as much as if you had put a pistol to his head. In this situation no charitable message arrives to his relations, no offer to allow attached servants to attend upon him, who could have been depended upon in keeping dreadful news of all sorts from him. No, no ; to his grave, in madness, you would pursue him, — to his grave you persecuted hitn.
Sivu 46 - Lawyers' corps. These required them, in case of riot or alarm, to repair to Smithfield, and such as had not ball-cartridge were to get them at his house, and such as were going out of town, and did not think their arms safe, were to deposit them with him ; and there was a little paper inside, which mentioned that their orders were to be kept secret. Lord Edward Fitzgerald, upon reading this paper, seemed greatly agitated : he said he thought Government intended to arrest him, and he wished he could...
Sivu 216 - Lave become impatient for the defeat of the enemy, and, in imitation of the Central Junta, call out for a battle and early success. If I had had the power, I would have prevented the Spanish armies from attending to this call; and if I had, the cause would now have been safe...
Sivu 255 - This is after judgment; for there is a great difference between a man convicted and attainted: though they are frequently through inaccuracy confounded together. After conviction only a man is liable to none of these disabilities; for there is still in contemplation of law a possibility of his innocence. Something may be offered in arrest of judgment ; the indictment may be erroneous, which will render his guilt uncertain, and thereupon the present conviction may be quashed ; he may obtain a pardon...
