THE MAN HE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE

"Corly, that burned his house in Burren, was very bad, and it was

O'Connell brought him to the gallows. The only case O'Connell lost was

against the Macnamaras, and he told them he would be even with them, and

so when Corly, that was a friend of theirs, was brought up he kept his

word. There was no doubt about him burning the house, it was to

implicate the Hynes he did it, to lay it on them. There was a girl used

to go out milking at daybreak, and she awoke, and the moon was shining,

and she thought it was day, and got up and looked out, and she saw him

doing it."
