- While the Croppy Boy was on his way to Geneva Barracks he passed through Taghmon. Those in charge stopped at a public house in the village to get refreshments, leaving their prisoner handcuffed in the car. A woman named Mrs O Moore taking pity on him, gave him a glass of wine. When the soldiers saw this they rushed in and turned on the taps, allowing many kegs of stout , cider and wine to flow in rivers about the shop, and down the street. They also damaged her furniture.
