- (continued from previous page)an army of Cromwellian soldiers in the town. They discovered them as they were passing through the town. The bishop played the pipes for them and the curate step-danced. They told the camp of soldiers how poor they were. They took pity on them and gathered twenty pounds for them. In this manner they passed through the town without the least suspicion.
The bishop confirmed the two-hundred children in Dunaree wood. They passed back through Shercock. On the way home they bought a horse at ten pounds from a farmer to take them home. Dr Brown lived many years in Cootehill in disguise amongst the Cromwellians and he never was discovered.
