    Relieved from their sentences nobly defending.
    The house of Tom Somers who lives in Coolroe.

    The Streets were surrounded with police and soldiers with rifles.
    O God what a seen, they were only too anxious to shoot down the people.

    When the new Ross brass-band follows after the quest.
