Excerpt from The United Irishmen, Their Lives and Times, Vol. 2 of 3: Third Series Rome, and conform to the Established religion, during the remainder of his life. Though in suc a perilous situation, with his usual fortitude, he boldly re used to complv, declaring, that neither threats nor promises should ever induce him to abandon his duty. One of the party interfered, and said, he would not give his consent to murder the old man, as he must soon die, at any rate; but if they should catch his sons, they would wreak their vengeance on them, by the most exquisite tortures; and, raising his voice, he said, it was well known, that this old man had given greater assistance to the poor and distressed neighbours, without dis tinction of religion, than any other man in the county. However, they did not spare the most minute article of his property, carrying away whatever they thought preper, such as plate, cash, bank notes, beds, bedding, wearing apparel, linen, looking-glasses, books, &c. &c., destroying the remainder on the spot; even the grates in his rooms, and surbases in his parlour, did not escape their fury; and with more than Gothic rage, they totally destroyed a choice collection of books, my property, in the ii'ish, English, French, Italian, Latin and Greek languages together with materials to compose a history of the last war in Ireland, being papers never published, and in the hand-writing of the late King James; Tyrconnell, then Lord Lieute nant Sir Richard Nagle Sir Maurice Eustace; Pierce Butler, Viscount Galmoy Richard Butler, Baron Dunboyne; Patrick Sarsfield, created Earl of Lucan, &c. &c.
