  1. (continued from previous page)
    The FitzGeralds were the local landlords ; the only brother of the late (and last) William FitzGerald of Knocknur was a King's Counsel of repute. They were very clever, not bigoted, and rather lenient landlords ; but morally rotten, and they corrupted the whole locality.
    I have it personally on the authority of old respectable men - who lived up to 30 years ago - that they themselves saw the would-be brides leaving the residence of the FitzGeralds at the "Mills" in the early morning.
    The last lineal descendent, a woman, died about 25 years ago, after a dissolute and abandoned life.
