    (continued from previous page)
    trial for the death of Smith. I also remember when a boy - the kindly genial neighbours assembled around the blazing turf fires of many a homestedd in Kilmore telling of the deeds of the heroes before named and their local athletes. One song I have almost forgotten only a few lines which I give.
    "Young Smith did fall at the Stonewall
    For Loyalty I'd swear
    But orange blood did make a flood
    That night in Killinkere"
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
