   Denis Brown H Sheriff for Co Mayo, was accountable for the hanging of Father Cowry at Ballinrobe and was now on his way to carry out executions at Knoelanara.
   After some speech with Brown, Mick Tobin blew his whistle and up sprang fifteen hundred volunteers from behind hedges and ditches. On seeing their humbles Brown begged for his life and Mick Tobin allowed him return home on condition that he would never again be seen in the Parishes of Ballymoe or Williamstown.
