The shout of "down with grabbing"
Was ringing up and down
In defiance to this orange tribe
That day in Arva town18
But these perjured orange peelers
False statements they did bring
Against the honoured prisoners
With the aid of Sergeant King19
Also the bailiff "Teapot Cooke"
Who thought he wouldnt fail
They were instructed by him
And the land grabber Mac Neill20
These perjured orange peelers
False oaths they didn't fear
And only for and orange man
I think they would be free21
But he noticed them before the judge
In Cavan to appear
When returning home from Cavan
Upon their trial day(continues on next page)- Informant
