  1. Star House

    Share Share Post
    An Orangeman named Case lived at Tooles of Ballasalla which was called the 'Star House' and one night the boys brought him out and bet him till they thought he was dead and then they stripped him to his skin and threw an old ditch on him but the cold clay revived him and he got up and ran into the Barracks at Hacketstown and when the Guards saw him they thought he was a mad man and they ran away and left the Barracks to him.
