This fleet was the news reached Adare, Achin, the captain of the town,' assembled the induced to come to Ireland to assist the Geraldines, who, it was known soldiers of Kilmalloch, and set out at the head of a sanguinary body of troops, abroad, had been reduced to great extremities for their devotion to Ireland, and slew every man, woman and child he met outside Ballycalhane Castle, and their defence of the Catholic faith and of Catholic interests. The Earl (near Kildimo) which belonged to Purcell, who had assisted the crown from of Ormond mustered an army to oppose the expedition, and did not halt the commencement of the war between the English and the Geraldines to that until they arrived in Kerry ; after a good deal of parleying and diversation, time. On the following day David's people were hanged on the nearest trees ; the Italian Captains, Stephen San Josepho, Hercules Pisano, and the Duke and the heroic soldier himself was sent to Limerick, where he was immediately of Biscay, "came to the Lord Justice as if they would be at peace with put to death. Nicholas, the agent or treasurer of the Geraldines, was slain him;" but the people of the Lord Justice went over to the island, and by the soldiers at Adare in this year, and 'Furlough O'Brien, uncle of the Earl proceeded to kill and destroy the invaderg, so that even of the seven hundred of Thomond, who, after being a year in prison, was hanged in Galway, his Italians not, one escaped, but all were slaughtered as they cried out, miseri- execution being followed two days after by that of William, son of the Earl cordia, misericordia.'

BY JOHN HE1V"ETSON. LONDON: MITCHELL & HUGHES, 140 "\V ARDOUR STREET, ·w. 1901, freface. To the eYident nath·e modesty of my worthy and distin­ g·uished Ancestors may be ascribed, I opine, the non-existenee of "Memoirs of the Hewetson Family;" or the stirring­ timf>s in whieh they lived, <l.emanding· active lh·es, gave them little leisure to uernte to pursuits other than the serious and responsible duties of life, either as dignitaries of the Church of Irehmd, officers in the Army and Navy, or as Members of the Parliaments of their country. Those stirring epochs of the past have vanished, and the hour-glasK of Time recorus the effluxion of four centuries since the advent of John Hewetson of York, so I take pen in hand to rescue a fair portion of the Family History from oblh-iou. In addition to consulting family documents, I have drawn largely from ,t Pe<l.igree made for Colonel Henry Alexander Hewetson, J.P., by John Henry Glascott, Esq., Assistant Heralu to the h1te Ulster King-of-Arms, collated valuable information from State documents, and laid nnder contri­ bution the works of Beetham, Burke, Lodge, and other authors too numerous to mention. Thus I am enabled to avail myself of the privilege to honour my estimable Ances­ tors, and present to their numerous descendants the follow­ ing Memoirs, which, through lapse of time and want of opportunity to undertake tt more minute investigation, must necessarily be somewhat incomplete.

  • Tipperary News Part 7

    Tipperary News Part 7

    Irish Superstitions. The unfortunate and deluded peasantry of the neighbourhood of Tipperary have been excited not a little within the last week by the humbugging story, got up evidently for a similar purpose to the "Wild Fire" or the "Blessed Turf" of the last year, and which has the effect of collecting thousands together almost at a moments warning, who can be then be led on to any act of desperation their leaders may direct. A man named Keating, from near Newcastle, was taken ill, died, and was buried some short time ago. But a few nights since he appeared to his Father and brother and told them he had only been taken by the fairies, and that if they were resolute, and would bring plenty of whisky, and some of their neighbours, and each have a black hafted knife, he would be passing the crossroad at Glendalough, at 12 O'Clock precisely, on St. John's Eve: that they would first see a little man on a fine gray horse, whom they were to let to pass, as well as any others, until they perceived him: he would be mounted on a black horse, they were to get between him and the rest, cut off the right ear of the horse, then he would be at once out of the fairies power, and be let home again to them. Numbers in this town and neighbourhood either believed it or pretended to believe it, and went off to the meeting, where, we are informed, upwards of 1200 people assembled. As may be supposed, no little man or gray horse appeared, and all returned again, but what passed there, and why they were called thus together, is as of yet a secret.
