The question why
sentence should not be passed on him having been put--
The Prisoner said that before he spoke to the question put
him by the Clerk of the Crown, he wished to say a few words on
another topic. The day before yesterday he was handed by the
governor of Kilmainham a letter which had come from America,
and enclosed a draft. The draft the governor refused to give
up, and also refused to state what disposition he intended
to make of it. The deputy governor had other moneys of his,
and he requested that those, as well as the draft, should be
restored to him.
The Attorney-General, in an undertone, having addressed some
observations to the bench.
The Lord Chief Baron said that the prisoner, having been
convicted of felony, his property was at the disposal of the
authorities, and that any representation he had to make on the
subject should be made to the government.
Halpin said he wished that the money might be transferred to
the governor of whatever gaol he was to be imprisoned in,
so that he might have the use of it to purchase necessaries
should he require them.
LORD CHIEF BARON--If you desire to make any representation it
must be through the government.
PRISONER--I don't wish to make any representation to the
government on the subject.
