"On your oath, sir, didn't you endeavour to induce the prisoner to go to Mrs. Mulready's?" "I towld him he ought to be as good as his word." "Yes, you did; and you think he ought to have gone?" "May be av he'd gone there, he'd never have stood here this day." "You wanted him to go to Mrs. Mulready's, then?" "Wanted! No, I didn't want nothing about it." "You only asked him to go?" "Jist as I towld you; I said av he guv the boys his word, as a man he shouldn't go from it." "Did you say anything to him about Mr. Jonas Brown?" "Jonas Brown?" "Yes, Mr. Jonas Brown, the magistrate?" "Faix, I don't know. I can't rightly say." "Think now, my man; when you were trying to persuade your master to go to the widow Mulready's, did you mention Mr. Jonas Brown's name?" "D'ye think I do be counting my words that way; how am I to say all the names I mintioned four or five months back?" "On your solemn oath don't you remember mentioning that gentleman's name to the prisoner with reference to his visit to Mrs. Mulready's?" "What, Jonas Brown's name?" "Yes." "Faix I may." "Don't you know you did?" "Faix I don't." "Didn't you threaten your master, that if he did not attend the meeting, some of the boys would swear against him, before Mr. Brown, for having joined the party and taken the oath at the wedding?" "What av I did?" "But did you?" "Maybe I did--maybe I didn't; I disremember thim little things." The cross-examination continued for a considerable time; but nothing further that was material could be drawn from Brady. He seemed even more unwilling to answer Mr. O'Malley, than he had been in replying to Mr. Allewinde, and at last he was sent off the table.
