    “There is a certain house which is situated about two miles from Drogheda.”

    There is a certain house which is situated about two miles from Drogheda. During the troublesome time of the Black and Tans a group of men went for safety to this house. They asked the people who occupied the house, to give them shelter in a certain room of the house. They thought that if an attack came they could get out safely.
    They went asleep but soon they were all thrown out of bed and tumbled about. They had to take their clothes and run for their lives.
