With the exception of a few, whose names I forget, I have accounted for the whole of the company comprising the Council of War at McGrady's public house. Summed up as follows, nothing in the pages of romance could be more startling than the after fate of these men:—
Captain Michael O'Brien.—Hanged at Manchester. R.I.P.
Colonel Rickard Burke.—Sent to Penal Servitude —Returned to America.
Colonel Thomas Kelly, Captain Timothy Deasy.—Rescued from Prison Van in Manchester.
Captain Edward O'Meagher-Condon.—Sentenced to death for the Manchester Rescues,
but reprieved and sent to Penal Servitude—Returned to America.
Captain Murphy.—Returned to America. Died a few years since.
The Schoolmaster.—A Member of Parliament.
John Ryan.—Dead—God rest his soul.
