Was nottouched.
There were certainly no cases of prisoners surrendering and beinginstantly shot; nor did civilians complain of any wanton looting of theoccupied premises, though at Jacobs's and Boland's full use was made ofthe stores; nor were there any of the Volunteers found drunk. Certainlythey should have prevented looting, but it was a duty as much incumbentupon any civilian.
In other words, in so far as it could reflect upon the nationalcharacter, there was little that could be reproached... against themovement save its insensate folly and, of course, the technicalcriminality of revolt.
On the whole the thing was on a far higher ethical plane than themethods employed by the Fenians, as well as more widespread, and thething was far and away more dignified than poor Smith O'Brien's rising, which ended, as it began, in a humble cabbage-patch.
Some of their bullets were of course of the vilest type, inflictingghastly wounds; but I heard of no misuse of the white flag--in fact, when the ladies who had been found in the College of Surgeons wereoffered their freedom as non-combatants because they had merely beendoing hospital work, they refused on the ground that as they were infull sympathy with the movement they claimed the full honours of thepenalties of failure.
