XC11 SOME NOTICE OF THE
there would be a fresh revolution, as there was, but it was
only of a dynasty.
For many years Charles Haliday was the hand employed
to pay a small annuity to two' poor but highly respectable
women, Allen's sisters, dwelling in an obscure and mean
place called Hoey's-court, near Werburgh-street. And when
Captain Allen died he secured for them the pi'operty of
their brother.
It was, of course, by means of his brother Daniel that
Charles Haliday became acquainted with Allen's affairs,
for Mr. Haliday differed in political sentiment, as has been
already stated, from his brother Daniel. Yet this in no
manner diminished his affection for him. Mr. Haliday
mingled the sentiments of a loyalist of the old stamp with
the more liberal views of a modern Conservative. And thus
recurring to the language so common in '98 and 1803, he
would sometimes say of him jocularly, " Dan was a rebel ;
if he had lived he'd have been hanged."
Death of D. Daniel died in the year 1836, at Paris, but his brother got
his remains brought over to Dublin, and buried them beside
his brother William at Dundrum. He erected a monument
over them within the enclosure encircling William's grave, in
the form of a broken column, with the following inscription :
