Arthur Culme of Clowoughter in the County of Cavan, Esquire, de∣poseth, that he was credibly informed by some that were present there, that there were thirty women and young children and seven men flung into the River of Belterbert, and when some of them offe∣red to swim for their lives, they were by the Rebels followed in Cots, and knocked on the heads with poles; the same day they hanged two women at Turbert; and this Deponent doth verily be∣leeve, that Mulmore O Rely the then Sheriffe, had a hand in the com∣manding the murder of those said persons, for that he saw him write two Notes which he sent to Turbert by Bryan Rely, upon whose com∣ming these murders were committed: And those persons who were present also affirmed, that the bodies of those thirty persons drown∣ed did not appeare upon the water till about six weeks after past; as the said Rely came to the Towne, all the bodies came floting up to the very Bridge; those persons were all formerly stayed in the Town by his protection, where the rest of their Neighbours in the Town went away.
