night before, scarcely a feature is his face being visible from the
blows he had received.

From the evidence of half a dozen watchmen, it appeared that a
great number of Irishmen assembled at a house in Fryinepan-alley,
for the purpose of " waking" one of their deceased countrymen:.
Dennis was amongst the company, and as usual on such occasions,

appeared Dennis joined with all his heart and soul, and in the
midst of the affray the coffin containing the corpse, was knocked
off the tsewles on which it was placed. The disturbance now
became so great, that the neighbours were afraid to approach the
house; when, after an interval, six watchmen proceeded to
the spot, who, after meeting with some resistance on their
entrance, at length got into the toots, where a same of the
greatest confusion was described to have occurred. The moment
the watchmen made their appearance, a general cry of " douse the
glim" was raised, and in less than a second every candle in the
room was extinguished. The battle now raged with great fury on
all sides, the guardians of the night being attacked by the Irish
party ; the former ultimately got the better of them, and cleared
the room in a short time vied the rioters except Dennis Ilullowey.

head before they could reduce him to a state of tranquillity.
