Previous to my arrest, I had arranged to hold a meeting on the summit of Slievenamon mountain.

It was fixed for the day after that on which I was liberated at Nenagh, which is at least fifty miles from the place of meeting.

I was not liberated until late in the evening; but I resolved to be present at the meeting, and immediately proceeded on my journey.

I travelled all night, partly on horseback and partly on foot, arriving at Cashel early in the morning.

I there learned that Mr.Meagher and some friends of his from Limerick had also arrived with the same object as myself.
