she went to the prisoner to know what she should do, who desired her to distribute the milk to the rebels every morning as far as it would go.. When the account came to Tintern of the murders at Scullabogue, the widows and relatives of those that were murdered got together, and were lamenting in the street, when the prisoner came up to witness and said, if he heard any more of it, he would collect us all together, and send us after our husbands. A few days after, the prisoner gave a pass to witness to go and get herself christened, and told her they must all be of one religion, for it was that they were fighting for. The pass was signed by the prisoner. Witness never knew any one give a a pass but the prisoner.

Catherine Poor, sworn.

Says, that she was a prisoner at Tintern, during the rebellion, and always understood that the prisoner was a captain and justice of peace: has heard the rebels call him captain. Witness went to get something to eat. He said he would not give her any unless she became a christian; for if he did, he should break his oath.

William Furlong, sworn..

Q. by the prosecutor. Did you know the Rev. Mr. Pentland?

A. I did.

Q. Is he living or dead?

A. He is dead?

Q. Do you know how he came by his death? A. I was taken prisoner by the rebels on Whitsun Tuesday, and put into the wind-mill on Vinegar-hill, where I saw the Rev. Mr. Pentland, the Rev. Mr. Trocke, three men of the name of Gill, and about thirty more loyalists in custody. of the rebels. The prisoner, Andrew Farrel, was there. The rebels called him captain Farrel, to which name he answered. He had a drawn sword in his hand. I heard him bid the loyalists fall on their knees, and prepare for death, as they should be killed directly. The prisoner then ordered out several of the loyalists, who were instantly murdered. In particular I saw him take Mr. Pentland by the breast, and by force put him out of the mill door, where he was instantly put to death. Mr. Pentland resisted

as much as he could. There were fourteen or fifteen murdered at that time. I saw their bodies lying dead when I got out. The prisoner came up to me, and told me, I must know where there were arms in Enniscorthy, and that if I would tell, he would save me. I said I would. I was then taken to Enniscorthy, where I was saved by a man who had been a malster to my uncle. Q. Do you know of the prisoner having acted as a captain during the rebellion ?

A. I saw him sworn to act as a captain.

Cross-examined by the prisoner.

Q. Are there any of the thirty men, that you saw in the wind-mill, alive now, except yourself? A. There are, I believe, eight of them, or

more.

Q. What time on Whitsun Tuesday was it that you saw me?

A. It was, I believe, about eleven or twelve: it was the time you were distributing powder to the rebels.
