Letter
Charles Francis Adams to William H. Seward, November 18, 1867
Mr. Adams to Mr. Seward
No. 1482.]
Legation of the United States, London, November 18, 1867.
Sir: Since writing my despatch No. 1481, of the 16th of November, I have received intelligence from Dublin of another change of plan on the part of the government.
On that same day the trial of Costello terminated in a verdict of guilty, and the solicitor of Ireland announced an intention to transfer the persons remaining in custody to be tried in the county of Sligo in March next. As a consequence the court, being about to adjourn, proceeded at once to judgment. Captain Warren was then sentenced to fifteen years and Costello to twelve years of penal servitude.
I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant,
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
