Did you not further swear that he was four or five months here, and gave instructions to the Fenians in rifle practice?—I swear I saw him on several occasions in Geary's giving instructions to Fenians.
Did not the jury disbelieve you, and was he not acquitted?—He was acquitted at all events. I could not swear whether I was believed or not.
At what time did your son write the names in the book produced?—Always when I enrolled the men my little boy would put them down as I would tell him.
The witness was then examined at some length by prisoner and prosecutor as to the entering of the names.
Prosecutor. How long is it since you saw the book?—Not since I gave it to Mr. Hamilton in September last, until to-day.
Prisoner. You have stated that all you have stated is true?—I have forgotten a great many things; but all I have stated is true.
The court adjourned at four o’clock.
John Warner was recalled and questioned by the prisoner.
Prisoner. Did you at any time meet in Cork the man whom you say swore you in?—I did.
How soon after he swore you in?—I could not be exact as to the time; it was in 1865, at any rate, in Mr. O'Connor's timber yard.
How soon did you come to Cork after you were sworn in?—After the regiment was disembodied in Kinsale in June, 1864.
