CHEATING A COUNSELLOR ; Or, How Kedagh G jan Get His Will Drews ry Naning, A few miles from Barnestown, the residence of the famous Malone, and contemporaneous with that worthy, there lived a jolly old squire of the regular Irish school, named Kedagh Ge- oghagan. The old gentleman, together with a great deal of Irish virtues, contained in himself # great deal of what his enemies would eal! downright irish vices and infamies. Amongst them, he was exceedingly htigous, to which disposition the propinquity of such a conveni- ence asthe prime sergeant was, perhaps, in some degree an encouragement; be that as it muaty, the assistance of Malone was often given to extricate bis unlucky neighbor out of those serapes which his infatuation was daily hurling him into, but his patience and good will were at length exhausted, when, after years of such hard service, he had to declare Kimsctt abso- lutely ignorant of the color of Kedagh’s money. This unlucky consummation o: his impru- dence came about at the very moment when the counsellor’s aid was most required. Poor Ke- dagh had got himself into a dreadful hobbie. Some sharp attorney had taken under his pro- tection one of his numerous victims, and law and equity were together hurling their thun- ders on his now defenceless head. fie knew that Malone would, in a few days, be ving to town to attend term. and that unless bis anger were Previously depreciated, it would be idle to ex- pect assistance from him. To pay him, would be an abandonment of those principleson,which throagh good report and evil report, he hal acted for nigh half acentury. and pay him-he would not; and yet, to get free from the dilem- ma without doing so, wasa puzzle. Ie, how- ever, at last hit on an expedient which will be seen in the sequel. The day for Malone’sdeparture had arrived, and he was already in his carriage driving out of his avenue gate, when he was stopped by a Sine herd of cattle turning down in that direc- don. * Hallo, my man,”’ shouted the counsellor to the herdsman, ‘ whose bullocks are those?” “* Geeghagan’s, your honor,”’ replied the fel- low, touching his hat—‘ that is, they.wor. sir, bat he sint thim to your honor, wid his compli- ments, and this bit of a note’’—at the same time fumbling the missha, epistle from the recesses of his breeches pocket, and handing it to the great man. ‘ “\Hum—aye—unforeseen troubles—hope to be excused—request a continuation of my ser- viees—oh, very well, my good man, all’s right; | soger my compliments to your master and tell jim I shall feel happy in using my utmost exer- tions in his business—drive them on, and de- diver them to the herd—one, two, three—ten, I delieve, are in it—'pon my word, a very fine Jot of builecks, and dearedie to the feeder, and you may tell your master I said so—stay, there's half a crown for you to drink my health, since I'll not be below myself—drive on, John.”’ Next vacation Malone returned home, full of complacent delight at the good news he had to telt his generous client, for whom his splendid talents nad procured an unequivocal victory. The morning after his arrival, when taking his usual walk through concerus, he met his herd, and after receiving his congratulations on his safe return, began making the natural inquiries regarding his stock. «Fine weather you had while I was away, Thady’”’ “Yes, indeed, "twas delightful, your honor.’’ “*Pon my word, I never knew it s0 soft at this time of the year before—an old parliament gentleman of my acquaintance, that was laid up in his bedroom ever since winter, was able to go down all the way to the Cove of Cork last week, it was so mild.”’ “Dth! dth! think o° that now.” “Yes, indeed ; and how is the grass coming on, Thady ?”’ “- I never seen the like, your honor, if you'd only jist step down an? look at it you'd see, yourself, sure.” “You didn’t find Mr. Geohagan’s bullocks too great an addition, [ hope?” “ae —" ‘Old Kedagh’s bullocks; those that he sent here the day 1 weut to Dublin; ‘pon my word, Thady, they shame you, they were so superior te any you ever sent off my pastures.”’ “Ob, he’s a very judgmatical feeder, your honor, but for all that 1 would show my berd with hie any day—but as to the bullocks—be- dad, your honor, myself deem’t rightly under- stand what you're talking about at all. at all.’ “ Why—the builocks he sent here on the day I went to Dublin—the ten fat bullocks he sent by his own man ; Kelly, I think, is hix name.” “ Arrah, the deuce a bullo-k, begging your honor’s jon, he ever sent here, the old rogue—they d bring the murrain or some miaugh among us, so they would.” “Gid Kedagn tricked me, then counsellor. And # he did, The herd had been waiting * shouted the an hour at the heal of the avenne to intercept him, as we have related. and no sooner was the carriage out of sight by an angle of the rund, thaa, according to his master's direction, he turned the bullockr’ heads, an 1 befure evening they were browsing quietly in their native pas- tures, whence they had been called that morn- ing to effect the deception. it was a little wonder that Malone should be deeply exasperated at the trick, 20 humiliating to him and successful to his outwitter, and just as little that honest Kedagh should take credi to himself for so neat piss of chicanery ; it was, in fact. a subject of merriment to him for a long time after, until some dilemma, similar to that which gave rise to the expedient we have related occurred, and compelled him to try and make his peace with his incensed ad- vocate. The hopeless task was undertaken in the same spirit which characterized his former proceedings. Kedagh tovk to his bed—was ill —very ill—going to die, in fact. It was not long until an account of his illness reached Barnestown, and fast on the heels of report follewed « messenger from the invalid. request- ing to see his dear friend—the counsellor. ~ Confound the rascal,”’ exclaimed Malone, ‘his impudence is insufferable—what can he want with me’” * Ob. your ho ** said the afflicted messen- ger, ‘he’s stretched for death, and won’t die aisy if he don’t see you an’ the priest.”’ “ Well. now for curiosity’s sake,’ said Ma- lone, I will over and hear what he has to way; it would really be a pity not to hear Ke- “- repenting. the counsellor arrived, and was shown into the darkest room, where Kedagh was waiting his final call ~ You wished to see me, Mr. Geoghagan, I believe,” said Malone, in the coldest tone of voice he could assume. “Counsellor dear. is that you?"’ whined the invalid, from the middle of the bed in the cor- ner. “Upon my word. Mr. Geoghagan, you may well ask the question with doubt after the man- | B ner you treated me and used my name.” * Ob, counsellor, dear, sure you would'nt be ripping up old ries on a dying man; God forgive me my sins, but I've a great deal to answer for; forget and forgive, avick; that was your father’s way, rest his soul ; knew him well, and many’s the time I saw him sitting in his arm chair, and stroking your head and say- ing, ‘ Anthony, my boy, you'll never be your father’s son if you desert your friend in dis- tress.’ It's my will I'd be talking of, I'm afraid the boys ‘ll be quarreling among one another about the money when I’m gone, and I want awill that ‘ll hinder them: and who would I get to draw it but yourse!f—the first lawyer in the three kingdoms, and more betoken my old friend's son 7” “Really, Mr. Geoghagan, [ must try to be exeused; wy interference with your affairs | © already—’ “Ab, now, avick machree, why would you be talking about that, and cutting short a dy- ing man’s breath ; let tell you all first, and then sare, if you're for leaving me, I can’t help you. I’m going, counsellor, dear—going quiek—bat I'd like to do justice first; so just putin a legacy of £500 now to my dear and valued friend, meaning yourself, avick, and make it so that it can’t be broke, now.”’ “Kedagh—my dear Kedagh—this is so good, 80 gencrous—really, I must forget and forgive now, though to tell the truth, Kedagh, I was angry.” “Ah, Anthony, my darling, that is just like your father—rest his soul—but ‘deed I was wrong.”” “* Kedagh—now—my dear friend—this gen- erosity—’* “Counsellor, dear, I always intended it.” “ My dear friend, this is indeed a very mel ancholy duty, and trust me, that all my talen can do shall be done for you to secure your lit- tle property.” “Ah, Anthony, my darling, ive me your hand—where are you avick nF was sure it was in your father’s son to be generous—so now sit down, counsellor, dear, and let us to business, and don't forget the five hundred.” The will was drawn and approved, not for- getting the five hundred; an Kedagh, after uttering profusion of thanks, for what. Malone assured was a will that all the lawyers in Ire- land couldn't break, requested that it should be left with him to get copied, after which, when completed, it should be left with himself. Malone, of course, acceded, and a dav was ap- pointed when he should return and receive tho sacred trust from the hands of the dying man. The day came, and with it the punctual coun- sellor, who was no little Surprised to find Ke- dazh out of bed, and much improved in per- sonal appearance. “1 am better, avick,”’ said he, “thank good- ness—a deal better, and able to sit up; bat sure, who knows how long it will last with all the trouble I'm in. May be now, counsellor, dear, you could advise me a bit—here’s the will, avick—putit up in your breast pocket now safe, for a deal depends upon that bit of a parcel—but I am talking about the law—it'a this way, avick.”’ _ And Kedagh proceeded with a long explana- tion of ail the ins and outs of his new troubles, and received from his kind-hearted friend such assurance of assistance as completely satisfied him. From this time forward, Kedagh became better by beautiful gradations of convalescence, until at last he was reported quite wel] to his disappointed expectants. His cause was under- taken spiritedly by Maione, and it is needless to say, that it sueceeded—the friendship of the counsellor became now as conspicuous as the contrary feelings were formerly. and excited the surprise of all who knew both, which was still more heightened when Kedagh was called to his people at last—by Malone's attendin, his eorpse to the grave as one of the chie mourners, and conducting all the @ffairs of the funeral. No sooner was our poor hero safely deposited than Malone announced to the rela- tives that the will was lodged with him, and collected all of them in his parlor for the pur- a of reading the important instrument to them. All preliminaries being arranged the parties seated—sentiments of condolence expressed on all sides, and Kedagh’s honesty and goodness boldly asserted by every one, and a defiance hurled at all gainsayers, the will was produced —acknowledged—and handed to Mr. atthewr, Malone's clerk, for perusal. He began, and according as he proceeded and settled with each devisee or legatee, as the case was, ‘‘ My poor father,” blubbered one of the fortunates, and another, in due succession as they ascer- tained their luck, the clerk's voice could scarcely be heard among the general din. Ma- lone was, however, listening all the time with that quiet.sort of satisfaction which we feel, when we know that hope and eertainty are to shake hands; until the clerk had dispatched the sentence immediately preceding his part of the will and continued on, as it were. skipping the important sentence. Eben * Now, now, Matthews, m: good fellow, said the counsellor, interrupting him, “do not be so precipitate, pray—go on—in such serious mat- ters as these it is very unbecoming to be so giddy—go on, if you please— and to my dear and valued friend—go on, pray—don’t you see it “Faith, sir,’ said the puzzled clerk, looking over the whole document, “I don’t see e’er a dear and valued friend in it from top to bot- tom.”” “Mr. Matthews, you are insufferably stupid, and really this will not do at all—give me the will, sir,” and seizing it from the bands of the terrified clerk, he looked over and over it, but in vain—the titter could no longer be sup- pressed—it was too bad. “Kedagh! Kedagh! you lived a rogue and You died a rogue,’ shouted the outwitted law- yer, and bolted out of the room, amid the ill- suppressed langhter of the company. Kedagh, true to the last, copied every line of the well-drawn instrument, but the part containing the legacy—and gained all his ends —and—Caeatep a Counsetior. ———s+e-+-_- Tue Case or Dr Downry.—The Staunton Spectator says that Dr. Downey’s counsel, on the assembling of the Examining Court on the 6th instant, asked a continuance of the case, because they were totally un repared to go into trial, having failed to te i preparation under the beliet (et there would be no objec- tion tu a waiver of trial before the Examinin; Court. In the next place the prisoner’s healt! was such as to render it unsafe for him to en- ter apon the investigation. The Attorneys for the Commonwealth, Mesers. Baylor and Harman, resisted the application for a con- tinuance ; and it appearing from the evidence of the physician that the prisoner, though suf- fering from great nervous excitement, might be brought into court without danger tohia life, it was mutually agreed between the coun- sel, with the concurrence of the court, that th [heres should be brought in, and such evi lence taken as would justify the court in sen¢ ing him on for trial before the the Circuit Court in June next, without entering upon a full investigation. Accordingly, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the prisoner was taken from juil to the courthouse, and Michael B. McAleer was examined only to such extent as to prove the fact of the killing of Mullins, and to con- nect the prisoner with the corpus delicti ns the probable perpetrator of the deed.. The Court then sent the prisoner on for further trial, and he was remanded to jai Tug Baianor Donnevty.—The last popu- lar song, entitled ‘‘ The Lamentation for J. P. Donnelly,”’ is now hawked about the streets by the boys, and enjoys a brisk sale at the smail but remunerative price of onecent. Like most of these tragic stories, it takes a favorable view of the criminal’s case, doubts his guilt, and in- clines tothe sideof mercy. The poet thus rep- rehends the obduracy of Governor Newell, who pointed his refusal to grant Donnelly’s pardon with @ text from Shakspeare: “ The greatest efforts were then made his pardon for to get, ut the kingdom of New Jersey won’t forgive nor yet forget; The Governor told him he must die, in the lan- guage of a poet! What mockery to a dying man—Shakspeare for to quote!’? The ballad closes with the following lines : “Thus ends the life of Donnelly ; ere this he is at rest, And dwelling now, I fondty hope, in the regions of the blest.”"—New York Post. {17 The man Stephens, under arrest in Boston for counterfeiting, proves to be Charles H.
