A. I was brought a prisoner into Enniscorthy by one captain West, who brought me to the place where the prisoner was on parade with some rebels. West said, "captain Farrel, here is an "orangeman I have brought you."Very

well," said the prisoner, "I will take care of "him." He then ordered four or five along with him, and took me to the rebel guardhouse, where there were fifteen or sixteen loyalists confined.-One of them, a Mr. Robinson, begged of the prisoner to save them. The prisoner answered, with an oath, that he would have them all put to death before the next night.

Cross-examined by the prisoner.

Q. When was this?

A. To the best of my knowledge, about eight or nine days after the rebellion broke out.

Q. Were the men all put to death the next day?

A. I cannot tell. I got out by the intercession of a rebel.

Q. Do you recollect being saved another time, and by whom?

A. I was, by one Lacey.

Q. Did you see me at that time?

A. I did.

Q. Did not I interfere to save you!
A. Not you indeed.

John Mooney sworn.

Q. by the prosecutor. Do you know the pri

soner?

A. I do, very well.

Q. Did you see him in the rebellion ?
A. I did.

Q. In what capacity ?

A. As a captain. I saw him sworn in as such, and a lieutenant sworn under him, when he was kissed by Kearns the priest; I saw him head a party at the attack on Mr. Cavenah's house, at Borris. I have heard him called St. Ruth.

Cross-examined by the prisoner.

Q. At what time in the rebellion did you hear me called captain?

A. Through the whole rebellion.

Q. At what time did you see me sworn in? A. When you came back from Borris, Morgan Byrne and you had a dispute which of you should be eldest captain. Byrne said he had subscribed a long time to the united men. You answered you had subscribed as long.

David Ogden sworn.

Q. by the prosecutor. Do you know the prisoner, Andrew Farrel?

A. I do.

Q. Did you see him during the rebellion?
A. I did.

Q. In what capacity did he act?

A. He came one day to Mr. Wheeler's house, where I had gone for safety. He was at the head of a party, of which he seemed to have the chief command. He took Mr. Wheeler and myself out of the house, to bring us, as he said to Vinegar-hill. We were released by one Macleane, who by threatening and entreaties got us from Farrel. Macleane said, if we were not released, he would go to the hill, and tell that he had found the prisoner, the day of the battle of Enniscorthy, disguised in women's clothes, robbing, instead of fighting the king's army. Q. Was the prisoner armed ?

A. He was armed with a broad sword.

Cross-examined by the prisoner.

Q. When was this?

A. I believe about the third day after the rebels took Enniscorthy.

Q. Did you not think that I was one of those that should have rescued you?

A. I thought you ought to have done so, as you were a tenant of my uncle's; but you did not. You would not give Mr. Wheeler time to shave himself.

Q. Who was at Mr. Wheeler's with you ?

A. There were my wife and sisters, Mrs. Bradley, and I believe Mrs. Wheeler, and Miss Newbold.

Q. Were you unwell at that time?

A. I was,

Q. Did you

not say,

you save me ?"

"Andrew Farrel, wo'nt

A. I do not know but I might have said so; but you insisted on taking me to Vinegar-hill, which could not have been to save me. It was at that time the common place of execution. Q. Were not your senses in that disturbed state as to be liable to mistake my conduct?

A. It is impossible. I certainly was agitated as I thought I was to be murdered, but I never lost my recollection. I remember you observed me, and, winking at one of your companions, desired me not to be so agitated, for when I were once arrived at the hill I would be quiet enough. Q. Was there any other person brought away from Mr. Wheeler's?

A. None but Mr. Wheeler and I.
