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.

A. One of the party that brought me prisoner to the wind-mill, said, on coming in, "Farrel, here is an orangeman. 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?

Martin cried

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 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, 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.

I still kept my senses. My brother was next brought out, and asked the same question, how he chose to die. He boldly answered that he would die a protestant. On which they allshouted, and rushed forward, and piked him to death. Mr. Hornick was next brought out, and asked how he would die. He answered that he would die as he had lived. He was directly murdered. I then fainted, and continued insensible until my wife came for me in the evening. She found great difficulty in saving me, as there was an old-man with a scythe examining the bodies, and striking on the head such as he found with any appearance of life. She took me to the bottom of the hill, where, finding I had life, she hid me. The next morning I was found there by the rebels, and brought up to the hill, from which I escaped by the help of a man that was to marry my daughter. About half a mile from the hill I was met by two men, one of whom fired at me. The ball grazed my head and stunned me. I there lay until my wife again found me. From that, until Vinegar-hill was taken by the king's troops, I lived in the fields and ditches.
