I DISGUISED M.P. I Arrest of Mr. Ginnell in West I Meath DRAMATIC SPEECH TO POLICE DRAMA TIO SPEECH TO POLICE Mr. Ginnell, M.P., who was sentenced to six Months' imprisonment in Dublin on Friday last. and who has einoe been a fugitive from justice, though he had expressed a great desire to go to gaol for his principles, was Crested in the Co. Meath on Monday. A number of men drove on a break to Xilluca,n Railway Station to meet the Xillullagh prisoners on their release from gaol, and Mr. Ginnell, who v.ae one of the 0 ecu pants of the break, threw off the dis- guise he hdtt been wearing and attempted tQ speak. When the released prisoners arrived he was recognised, and an attempt was made by the constables to arrest him, but the crowd closed in round the break. Mr. Gimiell, according to the report, said he was going to surrender, and warned the Police, if they did not want bloodshed, to vmit a few moments. Having briefly addressed the crowd, he resumed his dis- guise, slipped down at the back of the break, and escaped, followed by the police on bicycles. The arrest was effected at his father-in- law's house at Kilbridge, and he was taken to Kilmainham Gaol by the night train Under a heavy escort of police. Prison Treatment It is some years now since an Irish member of Parliament slept in Kilmainham Prison. where in National League days there were as many as a dozen. Being imprisoned only for contempt of court, Mr. Ginnell, of course, has no labour to perform. He is entitled to receive his meals from friends outside, to read news- papers and books, to furnish his apartment, to transact his business, and to receive visitors who may be allowed by the prison justices. Mr. Ginnell a Self-taught Man Mr. Ginnell is a barrister of the Middle Temple, and, contrary to the estimate formed of him by many English readers who knew him only through the reports of his fiery, unconventional speeches, he is really a learned and deeply read man. He had very few opportunities of early education, and is entirely self-taught. In spite of this handi- cap he has made himself a better linguist than perhaps three-fourths of the members of the Imperial Parliament. To knowledge of French and German he has added much reading in Latin, and is acquainted with Greek. The work which be wrote on "The Br?hon Law8"- remarkable code tu:?- which Ireland was governed before the Nor- man Conquest, and upon which a Royal Commission has issued three volumes-is considered excellent. For some time he acted as private secretary to Mr. John Dillon, M.P. He is between 50 and 60 years of age, a man of good physique, with a round, oloeo- cut beard, a high domed forehead, and features wbtob show de>tenninati oa—so me- thing of the John Burns type.
