- Captain Fenton was a landlord & lived in Castletown, Baskey, Co. Sligo. When he was informed of anyone taking part in the Fenian movement he had them arrested and flogged.
One day he had two men whom he accused on being in the Fenian movement arrested. He ordered them to be stripped bare naked & tied to the two back shafts of a cart. Two men with cat-o'-nine-tails were ordered to flog each of the naked men. The cart was then drawn from Castletown House to Easkey Bridge & back again. As the cart was passing the priest's house the servant girl saw the proceedings. She went to the priest & told him of the brutal act said "I often heard what ye priests could do & now let us see it."
