- (continued from previous page)One of the Ryans was for blowing the head off him with the blunderbuss but the other said it wouldn't be worth blotching their souls with his murder and that if he went back of his word that they could easily get him again. So they let him go. Now the police and the soldiers heard that they were around the place & scoured the country for them. There were soldiers billeted in Killenaule that time in the old distillery in River Street. But the Ryans went in hiding in the Pollacuit caves in Graystown & the people fed them and they were never caught.
Leatham the Tyrant kept his word. He gave a big party and invited all the gentry around and when they were there he made them sign a big paper for the Ryans reprieve and so the Ryans got the King's Pardon.
