Murrough was coming to Nash's house and he saw the beggar-man crying and asked him what happened him. He told him. Take off your clothes he said to the beggar-man. Then McCarthy donned the beggar's rags and went into Nash's house with a stick. Nash got furious when he saw as he thought the beggarman coming back. Nash hit him a blow.
