A wealthy merchant, who was twice Mayor of the City, which he also represented in Parliament from August, 1847 to March, 1857.
Mr. Meagher, M.P. for Waterford (father to Mr. Thomas F. Meagher) has received a letter from his son, in which he gives a description of how he is circumstanced, and his treatment, in his new penal home. His health was never better- his spirits good, and his general treatment is not to be faulted. He has, to a certain extent, his freedom- his "castle", or hut to live in- and his books to read. Many of these comforts have been denied to Smith O'Brien in consequence of his obstinacy, for which he himself is the sufferer.
