- When Cromwell was going to Limerick he had to stop for a night in Nenagh. The first thing he did, was to destroy the monastery in Nenagh.
That night he stayed in an inn that is opposite the Guards Barracks, (Cadell's Hotel at present). Next day he went on towards Limerick and he left some of his luggage in the inn.
When he was coming back from Limerick he went into the inn for his luggage that he had left there, whereupon he said to the inn-keeper "I, Lord Protector of England and Lord of Ireland accuse you of having stolen my goods", the owner was very frightened and denied the fact of having stolen the goods.
Cromwell had no mercy on him, and he killed owner and his servant. He gave the inn to some of his officers, he then continued his journey.(continues on next page)
