    when they saw this coach at Quanes gate. It was a round car with twelve or thirteen men sitting around in a ring in it and wearing whitney caps and grey jackets. There were four black horses under it. The woman asked William who they were but he was feeling troubled on account of his brother and he said to her
    "Isn't it all a matter to you."
    One of the men heard him and said "Gall Bhaile, Gall Bhaile, Gall Bhaile" That is Galbally Galbally, Galbally which is about four miles north of Hogans place in the Co Limk. They could hear the coach going down through the middle of the road. In a few days afterwards Denis died and he was buried in Galbally.
