   the soldiers used to come & take it while they could reach till they only left a little beehive of it in the centre. They had an old chest in the house & there was 40gns. in the bottom of it & the soldiers wives came in & took out the chest & smashed it in the yard & took the money.
   Tom also tells of Dwyer's escape from Kilamoat (Mrs. OToole says Knockananna but Kilamoat is I think correct) in the same way as Mrs. O'Toole except that when the Capt of the yeos saw the 3 lads running he said "There he goes & Hugh Byrne at one side & Burke at the other ".
