treatment. The house was a red brick,

came known that the memorial to the '98
patriot, Peter Finerty, which had been
erected with such enthusiasm on the old
castle, in Finerty street, on the previous

day evening, and since then no trace of

tardly that could be conceived to slight
the feelings of the community at large,
and the memory of the dead patriot.
