Personally I care very little for this, but for Ireland's sake I care much.

Some twenty years ago or so I was sent into penal servitude with the almost entire approval, expressed or implied, of the Irish Press.

Some short time after the same Press found out that I and my friends had not sinned so grievously in striving to free Ireland.

But men and times and things may change again, and, though I am growing old, I hope still to live long enough to be forgiven for my imperfect appreciation of the blessings of Boycotting, and the Plan of Campaign, and many similar blessings.

It matters little indeed how or when I die, so that Ireland lives, but her life can only be a living death if Irishmen are not free to say what they believe, and to act as they deem right .-- Your obedient servant, JOHN O'LEARY.

_To the Editor of "United Ireland."_ Dear Sir,--I observe that in your last issue, amongst other things, you state that Mr.Taylor accepted a Crown Prosecutorship in 1885.
I happen to know the precise facts.
