Did you see him with Mr. Annesly in the rebellion? A. I saw Mr. Annesly a prisoner in custody of Farrel. I was going to Mr. Wheeler's when I met them. Mr. Annesly called ine, and requested I would take his watch and money, and give them to his friends. I refused, being afraid, and asked him why he made the request. He told me Andrew Farrel was taking him, to be killed. Q. Was Farrel near enough to hear what Mr. Annesly said? A. He certainly was. Q. Did he make any observation on what Annesly said? A. He did not say a word. Cross-examined by the prisoner. Q. How long did you know me? A. I have known your person four or five years. Q. What day of the month was this? A. I do not know. I think it was in the begin ning of the rebellion. Q. Did you know any one else of the party? A. There was one Brennan, a weaver, who seemed to interfere for Mr. Annesly. Henry Whitney, 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. Relate to the court what you know of his death? A. I was taken prisoner about four miles from Enniscorthy, and brought into the mill on Vinegar-hill. In a few hours after I saw Andrew Farrel, the prisoner, drag Mr. Pentland, either by the breast or by the hair, out of the door, where he was directly piked to death. Q. Were there any others taken out? A. There were, I believe, twenty-five while I was there. They were all put to death. Q. Were there any put to death after William Furlong was sent out? A. There were a good many. Q. Did you see any of them dead? A. I did. When I got out they were lying in a heap, except Mr. Pentland. His body lay separate from the rest, and was stripped, and very bloody. Q. Did Mr. Pentland expostulate with the prisoner when he was taking him out? A. When Farrel desired us all to go down on our knees, and told us we had not an hour to live, Mr. Pentland and Mr. Trocke got up, and begged they might be spared. Mr. Pentland said that they were clergymen, and that he was a stranger, and had been but a short time in the country, and was a north-countryman. He then offered his watch, which was taken by a man of the name of Foley. The prisoner then seized him and put him out of the door, where he was murdered, as was every person the prisoner put out, except Mr. Hornick's son. The prisoner attempted to drag me out, but I was held back by some of my fellow-prisoners. Q. How were you saved? A. I saw a rebel of my acquaintance, of the name of Doran. He told Farrel I was an honest quiet man; on which Farrel examined me about arms, and then let me out. Q. Did you live in the parish of which Mr. Pentland was clergyman? A. I did. He had been but a few months in the parish. Q. What was his character? A. He was a remarkably quiet harmless man. Q. Did you know the prisoner before the rebellion? A. I did. Cross-examined by the prisoner. Q. Where did you live at the time of the rebellion? A. At Enniscorthy. Q. Had you any conversation with Furlong on the subject of your evidence? A. We have often talked of what we saw in the wind-mill. John Gill, sworn. Q. by the prosecutor. Were you a prisoner in the wind-mill on Vinegar-hill in the rebellion? A. I was on Whitsunday, with many other loyalists. Q. Were there any of them put to death that day? A. There were. Q. Do you know Andrew Farrel? A. I do. Q. Did you see him that day in the wind-mill? A, I did. Q. What was his conduct there? A. One of the party that brought me prisoner to the wind-mill, said, on coming in, " captain Farrel, here is an orangeman." On which Farrel said to the guard, "take care of him." Some time after, finding the prisoner in great favour with the rebels, I entreated him to save my life. He asked me my name. I told him Gill. "That is a bad name," said he, "pre pare for death; you have not an hour to live." I again begged my life, and said that I and my brother would play the fife and beat the drum for them; but he desired me to put such thoughts out of my head, as I should certainly die. Q. Did you see any one put to death at that time? A. When I was brought out, I saw John Gill of Monglass lying near the door. He was just dying. A party of rebels, armed with pikes and guns, formed a line in front of the mill door. Behind them there were some on horseback. On being brought out, there was one Andrew Martin, with a drawn sword, standing inside the line, as executioner. I immediately addressed the rebels, and asked if they would put a man to death without trial. out, "Damn your soul, do you Martin cried come here to “preach?”—and made a stab at me, which hit me in the wrist. Some of the rebels bade him stop, and asked me how I chose to die. I replied, "as a Christian." One of those on horseback said, "may be he is a Christian," and asked me, "are you a Christian ?" I told him I believed in the Saviour of the world, through whom I hoped to be saved. Martin then said, "O damn your "soul: you are a Christian in your own way,"and directly stabbed me in the side. I fell on my face, and was then stabbed in the back, and beaten on the head with some heavy instrument, |
