Abduction In Tlpbeuaktv Foumebi/X Abduct...
thafe city- This officer , with three mounted police , galloped at top speed for a dozen miles * without drawing bridle rein , but such was the rate at which Mr . Cardeu's carriage proceeded , that , although it had not more than an . hour ' s etarVit would have distanced its pursuers' if tha pace had not told on the horses and the bad state of the roads contrilHited to tire them . . However , when nearing Farney Cas & ei tie officers came in . si g ht of the object of their search , and the sub-inspector , with his men dashed forward . Mr- ^ I'Cnllag b . at once seized the horses' heads and ran them , into" the ditch , while the constables drew their swords and ; prepared for tho encounter . Two men jumped from the dicfcey of the carriage and showed fight , but one was immediately knocked heels over head by the flat edge of a sabre . Any resistance on . the part of the pursued was speedily terminated hy the fact that a police barrack was within a stone ' s throw of -where they were overtaken , and , the force having turned oat to the-aid of their comrades , Mr . Carden and , his men surrendered , were disarmed , and marched prisoners back to Cashel .
" A six-barrelled revolver , a double-barrelled pistol , and a life-preserver were taken from the person of Mr . Carden , Who now proceeded quietly with his captors . When the carriage was turned back to Cashel , one of the horses , a beautiful mate , worth 15 O 2 L , dropped dead . The most extravagant rumours of the affair were circulated in Cashel , and the greatest excitement prevailed there . Mr . M'Cullagn arrived with his prisoner late in the evening , and , having lodged him securely , he was on Monday morning conveyed to Olcnmel and brought to the police-office , whence he was committed by Mr . Goold , R . M ., to stand his trial for attempted forcible abduction . Mr . Carden Was conveyed in his carnage to the county gaol , where he was given into the custody of the governor . He leaped lightly from the vehicle , arid walked
with a firm step into the prison . He wore a cap , and over the left ear and on his neck were apparently severe wounds covered with jplaister . A large crowd was collectectrouna t & e prison door , and the women , especially expressed their sympathy with him , as one-who loved * not wisely but too well . ' " Under the direction of the local inspector , the Eev . James Morton , every care has been taken to provide for the comfort of the unfortunate gentleman . . He is located in the room occupied by Mr . Smith O'Brien , when a State prisoner in Clonmel , in the immediate vicinity of the hospital , where he w 2 I receive every attention that his condition requires . His portmanteau , being first opened in the presence of the governor , was djrectea to be given him , and / Mr . Strahan , it is known , will do all in his power towards rendering his confinement as little irksome as possible , pending an application for bail to tie Court of Queen ' s Bench . "
