   In 1921 Charles Lynch of Breaffa was shot by the black and tans on his own door and an English man named Moore was shot near Hurleys from the lane by local Volunteers.
   Walls of stone were put on the roads by local Volunteers in order not to let the black and tans pass in motor cars.
   The English law ordered the shopkeepers not to sell more than a stone of flour or the farmers' to sell their butter.
   The names of all who were living in the house should be written on a card and put up on the door.
   Any Girls that the local Volunteers thought were giving information.
   Their hair was cut.
   The black and tans used to take the farmer's fowl and kill them.
