Note 213 — JOURNAL OF ELIZABETH LADY HOLLAND (continued 4)

Grattan was arrested by mistake for Mr. Henry, of Straffan. Lawless (afterwards Lord Cloncurry) wrote in a letter to Ireland, which fell into the hands of Government, the names of various subscribers to a fund raised for O’Coigly’s defence. Among other entries was, ‘Little Harry has put down 50l.’ ‘Little Harry’ was taken by the Government to mean Grattan; hence the error.
