Summary

The Times reporter introduces a reprinted item as follows: "With respect to Mr. O'Gorman, the Limerick Examiner favours its readers wtih the following bit of romance:--" Mr. Little, in charge of the capture of the insurgents, was searching through the crowd of passengers disembarking from a steamboat at Kilrush. A particuler insurgent is said to have disguised himself as an old lady: ". . . Mr. Richard O'Gorman was in the hands of Mr. Little, R.M., who, however, the [Dublin Evening] Post will be mortified to learn, let him slip through his fingers, or more properly, from his arm."  "They didn't mind the ladies and women, and even if they throw a casual glance at the feminine faces, you may be sure their eyes dwelt but briefly on the features of the old ones."  "There was an old lady, however, of sallow complexion, and dressed, some say in black, who got out with some difficulty, and tottering a good deal, and complaining not a little, was making her way up the slip to where Mr. Little, R.M,, happened to be standing. His attention was attracted, his gallantry was roused, and he courteously descended, offered his arm, and led the feeble old lady up to the landing. Little did he know the sex of the lady. We are positively assured she was Richard O'Gorman."  "He is said to have acted the squire with great dignity, condoling with the old lady as she muttered 'oh, dear,' and bidding her adieu when she was extricated from the crowd with a bow that would have done credit to Lord Chesterfield himself."
