When they saw the ill-treatment the Irish received from the English, they both turned against the English Parliament. Colonel Lynch was condemned to death but the people of Galway voted him into Parliament, and being an M. P. he could not be executed, thus his life was saved. Major McBride spent a long time in Athlone.Some of the above was got from Mr. Kilkelly, Bastion St., and some from Mrs. Curley, St. Kieran's Ice.
