   a side cart. Three policemen watched me with loaded guns ready for action. I was very cold so I asked them to put a rug over my shoulders but owing to the jolting of the car the rug fell of. The sergeant would not put it on anymore because he said that I tried to kill him that day.
   I was tried that evening in Bandon before the Magistrate Mr. Cronin. The Court Clerk said that I had an honest face. I was ordered to be taken to Cork jail next morning. I was kept that night in Bandon. I was kept ten days in Cork jail. The sergeant was medically examined to see if his eyes were damaged by the lime. I was released for a while and went home.
   Soon after I was again tried and was sent to Cork jail. I then had a very hard time in jail. I met Rev. Fr. McCarthy the curate of Bealad in the Parish of Kilmeen in jail. He was in jail for preaching against English rule.
