SUBSTANCE OF DEPOSITIONS MADE IN 1653 BY MAJOR ROBERT ORMSBY, SIR LUKE DILLON, AND COL. HUGH O'CONNOR. 1st. Robert Ormsby deposes-He, Major Ormsby, sent his servant, Hugh Cunnoghan on a message to his wife at Castlecoote; that the s Hugh was taken prisoner by Col. Hugh O'Connor, taken to Ballintobber, and hanged. That about two or three months afterwards, Hugh O'Connor was taken prisoner and brought to Castlecoote; that whilst there he was charged by Major Ormsby's wife with having hanged their servant, and that he said he did not hang the s4 Cunnoghan as a servant, but to prevent communication between the English garrisons, and that Major Ormsby's wife demanded that O'Connor should be hanged for having hanged their servant. 2. Sir Luke Dillon deposes-That he knew Charles O'Connor Dun for many years; that Col. Hugh O'Connor was his son; that he does not know "that Charles O'Connor Dun commanded any party of the rebels since y° rebellion broke out, or that he ever had any commission; but being an eminent man of that country, had seen him many times at divers meetings of the Irish and English of that party. And further sayeth, that he believes his son Hugh was a colonel of a foot regt for five or six years, and as a souldier from the beginning of the war." Knows nothing, except by hearsay, of the death of Hugh Cunnoghan. 3. Hugh O'Connor deposes-That he had been himselt a colonel amongst the Irish for the last eight years; sayeth that he did never know Hugh Cunnoghan, but "hath been told that he was commanded to be hanged by his father, a jury first passing upon him;" believes he was taken prisoner by Philip M'Dowel of Mantagh; states that he was eight or nine months a prisoner at Castlecoote, but denies having admitted to Major Ormsby's wife that he hanged the man. Cannot tell the names of the jury that tried Cunnoghan.1 MS. Depositions, Trinity College Library. |
