The major gra cioufjy accepted ir, faying your courtesy will not colt you much, you are to be sent down to-morrow to Kilkenny to be tried for your life ; you will molt certainly be hanged; and you can scarcely think that your journey to the ether world will be performed on horseback The humane, and honorable major was equal ly a prophet with his compeer. The plaintiff on the next day took leave of his prison, as he supposed for the lad time, and Was sent under a guard to Kilkenny, then the head quarters of sir Chari $ Afgil, there to be tried by court irtarrial for such crime, as might chance to b~ alledged ag.bnft him. la any other country the feene that took place on that occasion might excite no little horror, &aftonilh:ncnt s but with us, these fenfarions ate become ex tinguished by frequency of repetition. lam inftru&ed, that a proclamation was f nt forth, offering a reward to any m in, who would come forward, and give any evidence against the traitor Hevey. An unhappy wretch who had been shortly before tondenned to uie, anti was then lying ready for execution, was ifured by the* propofil. Ihj integrity Was not firm enough tohefitate long, between thealurou-j tive proposed ; pardon, Lvor, and reward, j with peq* ry on one fide, the iope and the gib bet on the other. II s lovaity decided the question against his own foul. He Wub ex amined, and Hevey was appointed by the len- j tence of a mild, and no doubt, enlightened court-martial, to take the place of die wit mis, and iiicceeded to the vacant halter.— Hevey, you may suppose (continued mr. Cur ran) now thought h-s labours at an end; but ke was miftakt n ; his hour was not yet come, Tou are | robJjly gentlemacn, or you my lord, accounting for his eleapt*, by the lor tunaujJ reccdedion of feme early circu.riiap ces, that might have fmo e upon the fenlib’l ityof fir Ch arles Afgil, and made him behev that he was in debt to Brovidence for the life of one’innocent, though convicted vkfiim.— But it was not so ; his escape was purely ac cidental. The proceedings upon his trii!, happened to meet the eye of lord Cornwallis. T he freaks of fortune are not always cruel; in the bit.ernefs ot hex jocularity, yon fee she ca ; adorn the mifueancy of thefhive, in the trap* pirgs cf power, and rank, and wealth. B n her playfulmfs is not always irhuman j ftic will foil etimes in her gambols, fling oil upon the wounds of the fufffirer ; fine will lometimes save the captive from the dungeon and t lie grave, were n only, that file might afterwards rcconlign him to his dtftiny, bv the repufil of capricious cruelty upon f.n allfc commlera lion. Lord Cornwallis read the tianlmifs of lievey’s condemnation *, his heart recoiled from the detail of stupidity and Barbarity.— He dallied his pen aero fs the odious record, and o dered that Hevey should be forthwith liberated. I cannot but highly honour him for his conduct in this inftur.ee; nor, when! recoiled his peculiar fi.uanon at that difaf trous period, can l much b 1 a > e him for no having ailed towards that court, with the lame vigour and indignation, win h 1c has li ct fheun with respect to tnefe abominable junl diiftions. IL v; yw. s now a man agai.—hi (hook the dull of iiis feet against Ins pnlo > gate; ks heart be it the refponfeto t .e amici pared embrace of his family and ins friends, and he returned ro Dublin. On hb arrival here, one of the firg per Jons he met was his old friend, AM jor Sandys. I 1 the eye of poor Hevey, justice and humanity had thorn the ma jor of his beams—he no longer regard cd him with refpecT or terror. lit demanded hi.r mare : obfervino- that tho O he mierht have travelled to heaven or; o foot, he thought it more comfortable to peform his earthly joumies on i o fe back. Ungrateful villain, laid the ma jor, is This the gratitude you shew to lusmajefty and to me for on? clemency to you ? you llian’t get poflelfion of the btall, which you have forfeited by your treason, nor can I suppose that a noble animal, that had been honoured with conveying the weight of duty and allegiance, could condcfce.id to load her loyal loins with the vile burden of a convi&ed traitor. As to the major, (said mr. Curran) / am no furpnfed that he spoke and aded as he did. He was no doubt aflonilhed at the impu dence, and novelty of calling the pri vileges of official plunder into queldi on. Hardened by the numberleis in stances of that mode of unpunished ac quisition, he had creeled the frequen cy of impunity into a sort of vvariant of spoil and rapine* One of these in flances, 1 feel, l am now bringing to the memory of your I ordfhip. A learn ed and refpeded brother bariiler, had a fdver cup ; the Major heard for in i isy years that it had borne an iascrip- tion of “ Erin gblrjAjf’ wfi.iwh i ‘lreland for ever.” The Major con sidered this perfcverance in guilt for such a length of year?, as a forfeiture of the delinquent vefTcl. My poor fi iend was accordingly robbed of his cup. But upon writing to the then attorney general, that excellent officer felt the outrage, as it was his nature to feel every thing that was barbarous or bale ; & the majors loyal fide-board was condemned to the grief of reltitu tion.
