| Dr. LANGLEY.—Dr. LANGLEY left his cell in Nenagh county gaol, where he has been immured nearly nine months, on Saturday last. He walked through the streets from the gaol leaning on the arms of Dr. O'Neill QUINN and Mr. Francis BYRON, ands save a slightly increased stoop in the shoulder, he evinced no sign of having suffered in bodily vogor from his long imprisonment and almost miraculous abstinence. It is not true that the doctor was remanded to his cell by Judge BALL after the verdict of acquittal had been pronounced, nor that he was ill in hospital; the fact is, as we learn from authentic sources, that a slight scar, received whilst undergoing the operation of shaving on the day previous to the trial, and which had not healed for a few days after his acquittal, prevented him from appearing in public. We may mention, as as intnce of the firmness of nerve of the celebrated doctor, that his sleeping in the dock—at the moment when the jury were in consultation om their verdict, and when a few moments more would decide his fate, whether life of death—was not feigned but real. He actually slept for 30 minutes, and it was only by laying a hand on his soulder that his slumbers were broken. After the verdict of acquittal had been pronounced he exhibited a number of arsnic pills which he had concealed in the lining of his waistcoat, and with which the utmost composure said that had the verdict been an adverse one he would have swollowed the poison, and thus realized in almost every particular the strange and startling foreshadowing of his extraordinary dream. The doctor is now in company of a suite of appartments at Brundley's Hotel, Nenagh, and it is stated to be his intention to make Nenagh his permanent residence.— Nenagh Guardian |
