Scullabogue was q small estate at the foot OF
Carrick ckbyrne Hill. the property Of a Mr.. King.
While the rebels occupied the hill as an en-
campment In the first days OF June. scouting
parties had been sent out to arrest all aggres-
sive partisans OF the Orange persuasion. and
soon large number of these people. followed
by many women and children who refused to
leave their male relatives. were brought in to
be placed under guard. 1t was not intended
to harm them. but merely to prevent their
joining the Kings forces. When the encamp-
ment broke up on June 4 to proceed to New
Ross the prisoners. over 200 in number. were
transferred to Scullabogue House and the ad-

abandoned their battalions and disappeared

creatures. illustrating the "invariable maxim
that cowardice and cruelty are very closely al
