EGAN'S GUIDE TO KILKENNY., OUR PLAN.PEOPLE never read " Introductions," so we start with " OurPlan." In this little book an attempt is made to popularizethe study of archaeology in Kilkenny, and to render the"mysteries" which have enveloped the spots of architecturalromance surrounding it, a simple and attractivenarration. To succeed in this object some sketch of thegeneral history of our city, through all time, is indispensible;as the story, for instance, of a mullioned window, etc., etc,,may be linked in the memory with numerous facts connectingit with periods and people, the historical illustration ofwhich becomes thereby a necessity.Learned disquisitions upon the several arguments indulgedin by antiquarians, we must once and for all disclaimany connection with, our object being, like art-emigrantbird touching sea or mountain, simply to light upon thecatching landmarks in our local history; and take a fewof the most authentic, which may prove the most interesting.For the first time an endeavour has been made to bringthe points of leading attraction in our county, as well ascity, within the observation of the tourist, by mapping aseries of tours quite easy of accomplishment. Within sucha programme, to introduce all that might seem availablewould be .here impossible, so that we are driven to woo contentment,by touching the most feasible, at the same timemost " readable " objects on our landscape within the linesof the tourist.B

10 EGANS KILKENNY GUIDE.KILKENNY.Its Origin.—The usual happy-go-easy style of beginningall brief references to the history of Kilkenny consists instating, that the derivation of the word is Kit, a church,and Kenny, meaning the Church of St. Kenny or St. Canice.And they help us to think, by adding, that the date in whichthis ancient city was founded is involved in mystery.Other historians represent the date of the English invasion,1170, as the origin of the/aire citie ; thereby implying thatthe Irish were hitherto " non est,"-—thus leaving the imaginationto wildly meander over the preceding thousandyears as belonging to a period of chaos, to be fathomedonly by conjecture.Suppose we grant this view as correct, wewe have then to arrive at the conclusion, that when theinvaders first landed in Ireland, they went about the countryin search of some lovely spot in the midst of meads andpastures green, and at last found, by hap-hazard, or goodfortune, what came nearest to their hearts by the limpidwaters of the Nore, where they set to work at the buildingof Kilkenny.How widely divergent from truth this theory is, antiquariansskilled in the early history of our country fondlydwell upon. Brushing through the mists of time whichshroud from the popular view the history of Kilkennyduring the primitive periods, wo alight upon such volumesof material as seem to deter us from even the briefestselection of the rare and rich historic treasures which wehave to L'lide over. ,THE KINGS OF OSSORY.The T'WO Hills.—Taking a perspective glance at theValley of the Nore. prior to its early colonization, alongthe' site where the city of Kilkenny now stands, it must

team's KiitiENsn? avtai.;iihave certainly indicated in its landscape attractive spotsfor the settler. At the northern limit, the table land uponwhich St. Canice's Cathedral stands, seems eminently suitedfor founding the religious endowments of a community,where a church, even in lowly proportions, could be raisedcomparatively free from molestation, because there, easilyprotected from the sudden tempests of destruction whichso often upset settlements, in,, times anterior to. any establishedgovernment.And not far distant, passing along the thenwooded slopes where High-street now stands, we findanother eminence so stationed as to present the appearanceof a natural fortress, well adapted for the establishment ofthe scat of government for an eariy community—viz., thehill upon which the Kilkenny Castle now stands, and whichwas occupied 2,000 years ago, if in primitive yet regal state,by the kings of Ossory.What a singular romantic coincidence there appears inthe fact that, through the history of the kings of Ossory,the names of several families now living in the city andcounty of Kilkenny intermittingly appeal's, thus testifyingin a degree to the truthful narrative of the historian. Wehave Cearbhall (modernized O'Carroll), DonnchadU(Dunphy), Ceallach (Kelly), MacGillaphadraig (Fitzpatrick),and so on.Battles.—It would be a mistake to conclude, though nono battles are recorded among the kings of Ossory andtheir neighbours up to the ninth century, that they werestill enjoying the blessedness of peace; for, unfortunately,they were rather skilful at making war upon each other.It was, however, when the Danes came in to molest themthat the Ossorians showed their prowess, it being recordedin the Irish Annals that in 845 a slaughter was made ofKK011460

12 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.the Danes by Cearbhall Mac Dunghal, Lord of Ossory,when 1200 of them were slain. In 859 the Danes, beingthen located in Waterford, attacked the Ossorians, whereCearbhall (O'Carroll) again signally defeated them, afterwhich, owing to the subsequent peace, he is recorded as reestablishingthe fair of Rhaigne, situated in SouthernOssory. And again, in 8C1, we read of "the killing of theforeigners (Danes) by Cearbhall, so that he banished themfrom the territory," which event took place in the northwestof our county, near Galmoy, or Fertagh.King Cormack.—A noted character about this periodwas Cormack Mac Cuilleanean, of Munster, whose plottingand ambition led to the famous battle of Bealach Muighne.Cormack, having succeeded in deposing Cenn-ghegan andplacing himself on the throne of Munster, made war uponthe King of Leinster. His next move was to place hisfivjud Ceallach (Kelly) on the throne of Ossory, afterwhich the united forces of Munster and Ossory•lurched to Bealach Muighne, now called Ballymoon, ontlu> borders of the Curragh of Kildare, where theym.b a signal defeat, as we read in the Annals:—" Cormack himself was slain, also Ceallach (Kelly) lord ofOsraighe, and six thousand men along with them."It is maintained that during this march King CormackM acCuilleanean halted his army in the townland now knownUa Muckalee, which is said to have taken its name from thatOf the king (MacCuilleauean).The O'DuhphySj—Even in those days, when civil tut*btilence seems to have been the guiding star of governmentbetween provincial kings in their incessant warfare fordomination) it is passing strange what a length of timethey managed to hold the reins of government. King

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE,HCearbhall (O'Carroll), of whom we have already mademention, ruled Ossory for forty years—845 to 885—and nowwe find King Donnchadh (Dunphy) reigning forty-sevenyears—927 to 974.It was this king who first originated the title, andthence the clan MacGillaphadraigs (Fitzpatricks) of Ossory,as, in those days, the fervour of early Christianity inspiredkings and people to shape all their destinies in honourof the national apostle, St. Patrick.Hence we have King Donnchadh dedicating his eldest sonto the honour of the saint, and calling him by his name,Gilla, meaning servant or disciple, and Phadraig (Patrick)—that is, a servant or follower of St. Patrick. Theancient Church of St. Patrick, in this city, at that timeattached to King Donnchadh's palace, was also titled fromlike reasons.Regarding the life of King Donnchadh, an ancientpoem describes him as a man of great piety; and itis asserted that the old and now obliterated churches of St.Rock's, at the head of Walkin-street, and St. Maul's, overthe Nore, near Green's Bridge, were founded during hisreign ; while the poem also, in brilliant metaphor, pourtraysthe splendour of his palace and attendant nobles whoflocked around his throne.Oeal Oainnigh. —During the succeeding reigns—from974 to 1055—a period of the same internecine strife has tobe passed through ; uninteresting except for the numerousbattles fought; mutual recrimination being the order of theday between the Danes and the provincial kings of Ireland,as well as with the reigning Irish monarch. In the year 1085a circumstance transpired which harmonises with ourgeneral aim of making the subsequent notices of existingantiquities of our city more intelligiblei

14 ESAU'S kitkENNV GUICI!.A bloody battle seems to have been fought about thistime in Kildare—" The Danes from Dublin, the men ofLeiuster, and the men of Munster came np with the Oonnaughtmen,when a fierce engagement ensued," and fourthousand were slain.After the victory over the Connaughtinen, the victorsmarched into Limerick to celebrate the event, but whileDomnnall Mac Gillaphadraig was absent, the clansmen ofO'Ruairc made a descent into Ossory, arid their visit ofincendiarism is thus recorded :—" 1U85—Cecil Caihnigh wasfor the most part burned." Prior to this time our ancienttribeland was invariably titled " Osraighe," so that the wordOssory then applied either to the whole district or the capitalthereof ; but we have now the first instance where thecapital is called .Ceal Oainnigh (modernized Kilkenny), fromthe original Church of St. Oainnigh, which must have beenfounded long before this date.In 1146 it is recorded in the "Annals of the FourMasters " that " Gillaphadraigh, lord of Ossory, was killedby the O'Braenains by treachery in the middle of CillCainnigh." This would be the present Butts Green, whichin these remote days must be looked upon as the centre ofsocial life in this district, at a period when stately elmsraised their heads to the sky along the route of the presentHigh-street and Rose-Inn-street.Ossory a Diocese.—Leaving for a moment the kingsand their lives of warfare, we alight upon more agreeablerecords when regarding Ossory as an ecclesiastical district.The Synod of Rathbrasil, held near Cashel 1110, had for itsprincipal object the division of the South into dioceses, andby the " Book of Clonenagh," Kilkenny was then firstnamed as one of the dioceses of Leinster, its boundaries

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 15defined, and Kilkenny itself referred to as the city ofepiscopal dignity, and the cathedral city of the kingdom ofOssory.Another Burning.—Kilkenny—at this date spelled" Cill Cainnigh "—must have been a city of extraordinaryvital energies if we regard the frequency by which the conqueringtribes reduced it to ashes, while, phoenix-like, itsprung into existence ; for, in 1L14, the "Annals of the FourMasters " again record it as being burned—that is, twicewithin thirty years.But, writing of Kilkenny being burned—what was theKilkenny of the time, or does our present city give anapproaching idea of it 1 Scarcely so. Yet, 800 years agoKilkenny must have had a considerable population.About the time we write a portion of the citystood around the site of each of the four primitivechurches, St. Patrick's, St. Rock's, St. Maul's, and St.Canice's ; principally around the latter, for here stood theold Cill Cainnigh, into which all the roads from Ossoryconverged.Diarmid Mac Murrogh.—The ugly anecdote of theperfidy and treachery of the famous Diarmid Mac Murrogh,prince of Leinster, is an oft-told tale. How frequentlyhave we read of the O'Ruarc, prince of Brefni, and of theloss of his territory, which was taken by Mac Murrogh ; andhow, as if to add bitterness to his cup, his faithless,though afterwards penitential, wife eloped withMac Murrogh. Then we have O'Ruarc's appeal toO'Connor, king of, Ireland, for justice, and the consequentchastisement of Mac Murrogh, in 1168 ; who thereupon flewto England, actuated by all the deadly passions of vengeanceand malignity which his rage could evoke.

16 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.And in the succeeding year the "Annals of the FourMasters" record an event which has influenced in anespecial manner the destiny and fortunes of Kilkenny tothe present day."In the year 1169 the fleet of the Flemings came from Englandin the army of Mac Murrogh to contest the kingdom ofLeinster for him." They were called Flemings becausethey had come from the Low Countries (Holland andBelgium), the inhabitants of which were called Flemish, anumber of whom had at this period settled in Wales, andhere we have them recorded as the first instalment of theAnglo-Norman or English invasion.THE ANGLO-NORMANS.The Beginning'.—It may be asked why enter uponsuch a broad question as the present, while briefly sketchingthe history of Kilkenny ; but the reply is, that a few generalnotes of this nature come in as auxiliaries, in order to makethe references to the history of Kilkenny fairly intelligible,especially in a little volume of this kind, designed for thepopulace.We may be sure that the Flemings (or English,as they are subsequently called) were not long landed, tillMac Murrogh, who had secretly returned to prepare forthe fray, received a message from the invaders ; and they,having arranged their joint forces, at first conqueredWexford, after which they marched into Ossory. AHhistorians give credit to the valour with which Fitzpatrick,prince of Ossory, fend his army withstood tbo attack. Thebattle lasted for a day, during which the Ossorians heldtheir own, and it was not till the Norman (or Flemish)cavalry attacked them in the open did they give way.

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 19Str0Hgb0W.—We are now writing of the time whenthe Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland was in full blaze.Mac M urrogh, on his first visit to England for the purposesof revenge on the Irish princes, having failed to induceKing Henry II. of England to invade Ireland in person ;succeeded in obtaining a proclamation from the kingauthorizing his subjects to aid the Irish king in his projectof revengeful invasion. It was under this condition thatStrongbow landed with a considerable army in Waterfordon the 24th August, 1170. He may be considered as theleader of the expedition which came to the relief ofMac Murrogh. Like most of the other nobles who joinedMac Murrogh, he came from Wales, and is known in historyas Earl of Pembroke, also as Richard de Clare, his realname being Richard Fitzgilbert; but he is more commonlystyled b'y the surname, Strongbow. At Waterford he wasmet by Mac Murrogh, who joined him ; as well as by the" Fleet of the Flemings," who had come the previous year;and having reduced Waterford, according to previousarrangements, Strongbow married Eva, the daughter ofMac Murrogh, after which the united forces marched onDublin and afterwards took possession of the principalfortresses of Leinster.The Faithful Norman.—In the midst of so profusea spoliation and such a lavish treachery, it is wondrous tomeet with even a passing incident capable of relieving thegeneral historic outlines of the period. In connection withOssory there is one worthy of notice. DomhnallMac Gillaphadraig, prince of Ossory, was invited to a conferencein the Norman camp, and Maurice de Prendergastwas the envoy sent with the deputation. Prendergasthaving given promises of honour and fidelity to the Ossorian

20 EGAN9 KILKENNY GUIDE.king, that he would see him return safe : procured the complianceof the latter with his request. But while in thecamp, it became knoivn that the Ossorian was about beingfoul-played ; when Maurice rushed on the scene " and swaroby the cross of his sword that no man there that day shouldlay hands on the king of Ossory." It is of this " FaithfulNorman " that Aubrey de Vere sings thus :—To Ossory's king they had pledged their word ;He stood in their camp, and their pledge they broke :Then Maurice the Norman upraised his sword ;The cress on its hilt he-kissed and spoke :—"So long as this sword or this arm hath might,• . I swear by the Cross which is Lord of all,By the faith and honour of noble and knight,Who touches you, Prince, by this hand shall fall."The Last King.—All the princes of Leinster being inturn overcome, it now fell to the lot of Ossory to share asimilar fate. Domhnall Mac Gillaphadraig IV. was thelast of his race, who wielded the regal sceptre over Ossory'splains. In 1170 he was driven from his ancestral fortress,which stood on the site of the present Castle of Kilkenny,after which he retired to Upper Ossory. Thus Domhnall,surnamed Duibh (Duff)—that is, Black Domhnall, passedinto the region of commoners, bringing with him hisclansmen, the O'Carrolls and the O'Dunphys, to UpperOssory, where their descendants have settled in numbersto the present day.Battle Of Thurles.—The visit of Henry II. of England,in 1172 ; and after landing in Waterford, his makingovertures of friendliness and peace to all the Leinsterprinces ; resulted in placing Strongbow on a much morefavourable footing. In the year 1174 he determined oi\

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 21extending his conquests, and marched against RodericO'Connor of Connaught. It is stated that the Englishtroops rested at Kilkenny, at the time, the garrison of theFlemings were posted in the fortress of Ossory ; and that,having refreshed themselves, they advanced to Thurles, toengage the troops of Roderic. Meantime, Donald O'Brianof Limerick had joined arms with Roderic, and a terribleand violent battle ensued, in which the English forces werecompletely routed, several hundred being slain on the field.After this signal defeat, Stroniibow fled to the Waterfordfortress, leaving Kilkenny without any defending army.But Kilkenny being then one of the fixed garrisons ofStrongbow ; Donald O'Biian marched, in 1175, to storm it,and .upon hearing of his advance, what remained of theStronijbowians lied' to Waterford, leaving the city a prey tothe besieging army. Donald entered in triumph, burnedand devastated the city, leaving it nothing but a heap ofruins. Thus the third destruction of Kilkenny is recordedWilliam Marshal.—The departure of the English,after the raid of O'Brian, was but a temporary abandonmentof their purpose, for they soon returned and took uptheir post as defenders of the Kilkenny fortress. Thesuccesses of Donald O'Brian and his confrere • were but oftransient splendour, as there was neither unity nor yeneralpurpose directing their operations ; so that whatever mayhave been the intentions of Henry II., the English andNorman barons who had settled in Ireland were furtherimpelled to conquest and spoliation.Strongbow's only daughter, Isabella, granddaughter toMacjMurrogh, was married, in 1189, to William Marshal,an English earl, and she being declared heiress to theestates, William Marshal came to Kilkenny, in 1191, andtook tup his abode in the ancestral fortresses of Ossory.I / c ^ zs O /

22 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUtfife.Nineteen years before, in 1170, Diarmid Mac Murroghgave his daughter in marriage to Strongbow, at Waterford;and now we find the only daughter of the marriagebestowing her hand on William Marshal, who is destinedto inherit the old estates of the kinus of Ossory. It wasWilliam Marshal, also known as Earl of Pembroke, whofounded the castle of Kilkenny, in 1192—that is, the yearafter he landed in Ireland, and who also granted, about theyear 1211, for the founding of St. John's Priory, nowcalled John's Church, in John-street, a charter and endowmentto that institution for monks, who were to relieve theindigent and poor of those days. His son founded theBlack Abbey, about the year 1225, where he found his lastresting place. William Marshal, the elder, also grantedthe first charter of incorporation to this city, which wasconfirmed by Richard II.The Flemings.—The announcement in the " Annalsof the Four Masters" that " in the year 1169 the fleet ofthe Flemings came from England in the army ofMac Murrogh to contest the kingdom of Leinster for him,"leaves no doubt as to their landing; while it is a matter ofequal certainty that they occupied Kilkenny after, thedefeat of Domnal Duibh (Fitzpatrick, king of Ossory) toUpper Ossory. The Flemish, who had at the time asettlement made in England; as their name implies, musthave originally come from Flanders, or Holland andBelgium j and, coming to Kilkenny, brought some of thatknowledge by which their brethren at home make the'Waste of waters obedient to them, and convert the LowCountries into a fruitful garden ; as well as to aid theia irimanufacturing -industry by its motive power, And -this^as just the time wheii such knowledge was much HeededIn Kilkenny. Though no absolute proof exists of what the'

fcGAN's KILKENNY GUIfctf.S3Flemings did in the way of re-building the city, still circumstancespoint to them as the original founders of thebridges, mills, and mill-weirs.The place of their abode is titled in some of the munimentsin the Evidence Chamber of the Castle, as " In VillaFlamingorum Kilkennie" the exact site of which was fromthe present Switzer's Asylum to the Black Quarry. Thisdistrict, we know, has up to the present day retained anotherancient title—viz., Shrandh-na-buddagh—that is, theroad or street of the buddaghs or churls. How ourphlegmatic friends, the churlish Dutchmen, received thisuncomplimentary title, history does not enable us todetermine.OUR EARLY BISHOPS.St. Ciaran—435.;—In studying the history of thisancient city, the biography of the early Bishops of the See ofOssory becomes an essential element in the facts relating toits growth.The founding and building of a church is generally thefirst stage of the establishment of a civil community ; and asthe importance of the church leads on to its becoming thecentre of ecclesiastical rule, such as the see of a bishop j sothe temporal authority naturally grows in proportion. Forthis reason, we find the Bishop in early ages stated aslaying the foundation of cities; and otherwise superintendingthe temporal affairs of the community, Kilkennyaffords a notable example of this union of power; as up to"1844 the city of Irishtown had a separate Corporation, andwas ruled by the Bishop of the See,The.See of Ossory is the oldest in this country, being:founded in the beginning of the fifth century, by St; Ciaran,A,D, 435, at Saigcr, in the King's County.

24 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE'.St. Oanice—577. —After St. Ciaran, the next bishopof the diocese, whose name has come down to us as intimatelyassociated with our local history; and who hasgiven his name to the city, is St. Oanice, or St. Kenny, whoruled the See of Ossory about the year 577 ; and must haveestablished his cell and church on the grounds of thepresent Canice's Cathedral about that time.Donald O'Fogarty—1152.—In lo52 the sue wastranslated from Saiger, King's County, to Augavoe, Queen'sComity; and in 1152, exactly a century later, we findthe see fixed in Kilkenny by the Synod of Kells, at whichdate Donald O'Fogarty was Bishop of Ossory.Felix O'Dullany—1178-1202.—His successor, FelixO'Dullany (O'Delany) holds a high and important positionin the history of Kilkenny. We have seen that the last ofthe Fitzpatvicks, kings of Ossory, was driven to UpperOssory by Mac Murrogh's forces, in 1170; but long afterthat date, the Fitzpatricks continued to exercise influencein the diocese; for we have it, that in 1180 MacGillaphadraig aided Bishop O'Dullany in founding thebeautiful fane, Jerpoint Abbey; the quiet sanctity of whichremains so venerated to the present day. Here it was theBishop found his last resting-place. Bishop Felix foundedSt. Canice's Cathedral in 1192; he founded the city ofIrishtown, and endowed the first Priory or Hospital of St,John for Monks, supposed to be situated where St, Maul'sGrave Yard now lies ; and which was afterwards moved tothe site of the present St, John's Abbey by WilliamMarshal, who endowed it so largely; while at the same timehe placed it in a more central position in the city, andbrought it nearer his own residence in the castle.It D >,j be well tt "state that the labours of Bishop Felix is

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 25a cause celcbre for royal argument amongst the great ones inarchaeology, the " pros and cons " of which would ill] a fairsized volume ; but it is pleasant to have to add that thelatest investigations aive a crushing reply to those whoattempt to deprive O'Dullany of his due honours.During Bishop O'Dullany"s time St. Mary's Church was inexistence, thereby proving that the- building of the Englishtownhad at least well begun in his life, and that at the periodof Jiis death, in 1202, th^e general outlines of the city, as itnow stands, were well marked. He left the CathedralChurch of St. Canice built, wanting the nave and aisles.But in his temporal character, the period of his life showsan equally progressive movement in the building of Irishtown; for lfaving founded it, after his elevation to the see,before his death, he 2 ranted a charter to the city of Irishtewn,thus creating its firs.t corporation or body politic.Hugh de Rous—1202-1218.—He was the firstEnglish Bishop of Ossory. In his time Parliament-streethad no existence, and was a kind of uninhabited groundbetween the old and new towns. Bishop Rous assignedthis land over to William Marshal, in exchange for otherlands, so that William Marshal might enlarge his Englishtown; and for this purpose the Bishop granted him all thelands from Cottrell's Bridge, over the Bregach, to St.Kieran's Well, at the back of the old house in King-street,adjoining the market gate, called " Kyteler's Inn."Geoffrey St. Leger—1260.—Passing over the lessinteresting events of thenext half century, we reach GeoffreySt. Leger, who was also an Anglo-Norman. It is BishopSt. Leger who is titled the " second founder " of St. Canice's,he having completed the cathedral begun by Felix O'Dullany,St. Leger's portion of the building being the nave, aisles,and porch,

26 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.Richard de Ledrede—1316.—A famous trial forwitchcraft was instituted by this bishop against DameAlice Kyteler. He was a Franciscan monk, and it is hewho erected the famous, wo might add priceless, stainedglass windows in St. Canice's Cathedral, which the Pope'sNuncio, at the time of the confederation, ottered the £700for, and which offer was declined by Bishop Rothe,THE KILKENNY OATS.Shortly after the death of Bishop Felix O'Dullauy, in1202, the reader may truly reflect that Kilkenny stood acity of importance. It had two distinct corporations, theone granted to the Irishtown by the Bishop : the othergranted to the Englishtown by William, Earl Marshal.Thus, at both ends, were the ecclesiastical and civil powersrivalling each other in elevating this, the present city, byimproving its public buildings, and endowing its religiousand charitable institutions; so that, as may be expected, thecity rapidly grew in population, wealth, and importance.Even at this early date we could fancy it as a city of—" Fire without smoke,Water without mud,- And the streets paved with marble."But stay—we are guilty of anachronisms, for the streetswere not for over a century later paved with marble.There is a record of tolls having been levied in 1334;also, by letters patent, in 1375, for the paving of the town.Down to a late period all our streets were paved, and asmost of the stone was marble, the streets are said to show ahigh polish after a shower of rain.The " music" of the old coaches, whirring over the pavements,is said to have been such as could well emulate amild form of thunder.

EGAN S KILKENNY GUIDE. 29But the Kilkenny coal was not discovered for threecenturies afterwards. Yet, for all we know, our city mayhave been titled under a different cognomen, even so faraway,and have become famous through the old story of " TheKilkenny Cats."Tradition—nothing else—says, that this feline battle wasfirst originated with the two corporations of Kilkenny, who,from the earliest time up to their incorporation as one body,in 1844, were continually at " loggerheads" about theirrespective dominions. But there is another source of theorigination of the story which looks more like reality. Itsrecital may prove interesting to strangers ; for, away at thefoot of 1 the Rocky Mountains, or on the plains of Australia,the parable of " The Kilkenny Cats " is held up as a wisedeterrant to all people rather disposed to a belligerent styleof life. •At one time a regiment of soldiers stationed at Kilkennyappeared to have developed a particular taste for the felinespecies, and th6 form which their taste took was, to tie twocats by the tails, and throw them across a line, whereuponeach cat blamed the other for the unfortunate positionwhich they had fallen into, and at once proclaimed war oneach other for their grievances. This kind of battle, it issaid, the sons of Mars took a special delight in beholding.At last the commanding officer, having heard of the pastime,issued a decree against it; and one evening the officer onpatrol, hearing the fray at a distance, advanced to catch thetruants. A sergeant, who heard the footsteps of his officer,at once drew his sword, and severed the cats on the line, atthe. tails ; leaving the hirsute appendages dangling. Theofficer, amazed, cried out, "What—what! have they eateneach other to the.tails 1"9

30 EGANS KILKENNY GUIDE.THE MARKET CROSS.Passing from a subject so fanciful, we come to one morerepresentative of the character of the people in that time—viz., " The Market Cross of Kilkenny." Elsewhere we givea drawing of this beautiful and artistic structure, bearingupon it the symmetrical features of classic architecture inthe decorated style. It stood where the present prosaicpump is erectad, quite near the Tholsel, and opposite thehouse of the Langtons, now modernized, and inhabited byMr. Wall. This historic monument of early Christianpiety was erected in 1335.It is characterized as being a beautiful and elegantdesign, rising from a square basement, to whichascended on each side, stone steps. Upon the' base•were erected four lofty marble columns, from which avaulted arch springs, and rising from-this was the obelisk,supporting the cross of polished marble, which bore asculptured figure of the Crucifixion. One of the prettiestparts of the design consisted of the sculptured statues ofthe four saints—St. Canice, St. Kieran, St. Patrick, and St.Brigid—under whose guardianship the city was placed, thefigures being erected at the points where the gabletsdiverged. The exciting scene on the morn of its consecrationin Kilkenny, has been described by Paris Anderson ina befitting poem :—THE MARKET CROSS.On the morrow of St. Lucia,"And the day of Mighty Jove—When the blast of dark December•Stripped the last leaves from the grove ;In the year of grace we read it,Thirteen hundred, thirty-five,All the streets of faire KilkennieSeem for festival alive.

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.3l„ • There the Black Friars assemble ;There the Crey Franciscans conic ;There the mail-clad Barons muster,At the tucket's sound and drum ;\ And, round the Bishop, white-robed childrenIncense bearing, censors toss.As the long procession wendethTo the new-built Market Cross..Since that morrow of St, Lucia,Twice two centuries and oneHave passed o'er the crowded city—Pilgrim, soldier, Cross, arc gone ;Yet the record hath not faded —Fancy still the scene can trace,Where the Cross was consecrated,In Kilkennie's Market-place."On the. arrival of Rinuncini, the Papal Nuncio in 1G45,he describes, amidst the splendours of his entry to thetown, the stopping of the procession at the Market Cross :—"In the centre of the city, at a very high cross, where thecitizens are wont to assemble, we all stopped, and a youth, surroundedby a vast concourse, pronounced an oration, after which weagain moved on till we reached the cathedral."The position of the' cross, suiting so admirably foraddressing large audiences, as well as affording so meet anemblem under which to preach Christianity, was availed ofby the clergy at that time for delivering public sermons orexhortations. It was also the scene of those early efforts ofthe drama, entitled " Mystery Plays," through which theyoung men of the town exemplified the sacred tenets oftheir religion once a year, These plays were continued forS00 years, down to 1632, the last one recorded being the" Resurrection/'But a change came—"Oh, wondrous change of a fatal scene,Still varying to the last."—DBYDKX,

32 EGAN's KILKENNY GUlMl.The year IGoO saw Cromwell at the gates, and after thegallant defence by Sir Walter Butler, and the occupationof the city, the " Cromwellian soldiery, armed with theirmuskets, directed many blows against the symbol of theCrucifixion." They thus broke away the arms of the cross,allowing the shaft and arched structure to remain.Of course, the Corporation of the next period completedthe work. In 1771, during the mayoralty of Mr. Blunt,known as " Whirlgig Blunt," the cross was taken down,with the object, it is said, of being re-erected on the Parade;but from that period the Market Cross, so intimately connectedwith the history of Kilkenny, ceased to be heard of.WITCHCRAFT.After referring, a few pages back, to the influence andtemporal power of the Bishops of Ossory, five centuriesago, it seems a strange inconsistency now to introduce thesubject of " witchcraft." Most of our readers are familiarwith the house in King-street next the market gate, havingthe double flight of stone steps to the hall door, which somuch obstructs the pathway. In this house, five hundredand fifty years ago. a lady of great wealth lived, whose name•was Dame Alice Kyteler; in fact, the house in question isknown by archaeologists as " Kytier's Inne." This ladyhad four husbands, whose names we need not mention ; andone of the alleged charges against her was nothing milderthan the poisoning of the four.But the more serious charge, preferred by Bishop deLedrede, who became Bishop of Ossory in 1317, was, thatshe renounced the religion of Christ, and practised demon•worship. She sacrificed living animals to a certain demon,calling himself Artis Filium. She made use of the brainsand clothes of the children who had died without- baptibin,

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 33which she placed in the skull of an executed thief, andthese, it was also proved, she used for demon worship.Her son, William Outlaw, by the first husband, lived inWalkin-street, close to where the present dispensary stands,where one of the gates of the city then stood. Heheld the house under a deed, which document is among themuniments of the Corporation of the present day. It waswith reference to this house the famous incantation ofDame Alice was composed—" Unto the house of William, my sonne,Hie all the wealth of Kilkenny towne."Owing to the great influence of the Kyteler family,Bishop de Ledrede met with almost insurmountable obstaclesin bringing Dame Alice and her wicked associates to justice.The trial commenced in 1324, before an ecclesiasticalcourt, but Dame Alice was stoutly defended by her relative,Roger Outlaw, the chancellor of Ireland, as well as byArnold le Poer, seneschal of Kilkenny. Apparently withoutmuch difficulty, there were soon a fair number ofcharges preferred against the Bishop himself. In the end,• however, the power of the Bishop prevailed, and all theaccused were found guilty. Dame Alice saved herself byflight, but Petronilla, one of her associates, was tied to thestake and burned. As the ancient record says, " Then allwas silent, the flames sunk down, and her ashes werescattered to the four winds of heaven."This trial, and all its accompanying troubles andquarrels, may be considered as the most extraordinaryof the age in which it occurred. However, from thenames of the parties engaged in it, as well as theterror and wonder which it then created, we may concludethat witchcraft was not by any means practised

34 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.by the Irish people. Reading it now, it would lookmore like a fitting accompaniment to the "Arabian Nights,"but that we know it really belongs to the stern records offact.THE STATUTE OF KILKENNY.We left William Marshal after his landing in Ireland, 11 91,and his coining to Kilkenny, when he founded the castlein 1192, after having married Isabella, daughter ofStrongbow, and granddaughter of Diarmid MacMurrogh.It is not here our business to trace the several wars betweenthe native Irish and the Anglo-Norman cavalry. Aboutthe year 1341, a power more subversive than any hithertoexperienced began to alarm the British Government. Afear arose, that the Anglo-Normans had entirely droppedthe mannerisms of their country, or had so united with thenatives in habits, kinship, and opinions, as to become"more Irish than the Irish themselves."It was to remedy, as he thought, this terrible condition ofaffairs that King Edward convened a Parlianientin Kilkenny,in 1367, when he succeeded in passing the " Statute of Kilkenny."Reading it in these days of modern freedom, if wecould imagine it bereft of its more grotesque and lamentablefeatures, it would become simply amusing. It enacted"that all intermarriages of the Anglo-Normans with theIrish ; also buying and selling with them, etc., etc., shall beaccounted treason," This Act is a fair representation ofthe blind intolerance of the age in which it was perpetrated.THE TOWN WALLS,Approaching the study of such a subject as the presentone, we' are prone to reflect upon the sympathy whichmust have existed between the founders of great publictyorks, from the twelfth to the sixteenth century,

EGAN'S KILKENNY GVlBt. 35and our friends, the arehneologists of to-day. In thoseages of shadow and catastrophe, men often performed•great works, and executed charters by which theybequeathed them, without even affixing a date to thedocument; so that the antiquarians of the present dayenjoy the delightful privilege of endeavouring to reconcilethe circumstances of time, and ages, in. order to favour theircherished theories respecting those strange omissions by thegreat ones of other days., We have now stumbled upon one of those debatablepoints over which arehieologists are wont to puzzle. Thewalls of Kilkenny were built by Robert Talbo.t, in 1-100.Query'—Who was Robert Talbot 1 Nobody can answer.The ancient records and muniments are silent upon thequestion ; and all the eminent antiquaries only agree inrecognising him as a " worthie gentleman." The probabilityis that he never built them, or paid for building them, butthat.he may have been mayor of the city at their founding,repairing, or completion.The " walls " began at the Castle, and, taking a curve,passed by the present Patrick's Arch, which was formerlyone of the gates of the city. From this they went byTalbot's Castle, still standing at the corner of the ModelSchool grounds ; so called from the founder of these oldfortifications, and which remains the only vestige to commemoratethe name of the founder. Portions of the townwall were knocked down at this tower in 1854, and so lateas that year a cannon was found buried in the earth closeby, which was, ;io doubt, originally intended to defendTalbot's Castle. This piece of ordnance is now pre.-erved inthe museum. It is supposed that, on the talcing of thecity by Cromwell, the nun became buried, where itremained till found, 200 years after.

• 36ERAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.From Talbot's Castle a view of the direction of the townwall may be obtained. At present, at a distance of about50 yards east, a broad and massive portion may be seenupon which a summer house has been erected. Uponexamining this grotesque section of the old fortification, wewere almost deceived into the conviction that it nevercould have been intended for the grim purposes of war.On its face below were hollowed out niches for the receptionof garden statues ; above, flower beds were scattered,thus strangely spreading the beautiful emblems of affectionand fidelity over the stern contrivances of sanguinary conflict.About 50 yards further on, another castle hides itshead in luxuriant ivy, bounding the garden of the ProvincialBank ; and from this point the " walls " went to " Walkin'sGate," which stood at the corner of Garden-row, acrossWalkin-street, close to the present dispensary building.It is a pleasing pastime to trace the direction of this oldrampart, intended to defy the numerous enemies, nativeand foreign, which might possibly assail the city. FromWalkin's Gate, the " walls " ran towards the Black Abbey,and a remnant may be seen skirting the PresentationConvent, opposite the Bishop's residence, in the chapelyard. Crossing the road here was St. James's Gate, andthe next existing " bit " we now find runs from the top ofNew Building-lane to Lees-lane, ending there in a turret.The butments along Lees-lane propping the town wall tothe arch may still be seen there, the arch being the onlyremaining portion of the castle over this gate, called the" Black Frieran Gate."Entering the gardens of the houses in this locality, there isa pretty field for observation. The town wall runs fromthe archway direct to the Bregach, and just at this pointthe wall of the Irishtown approaches the river also, which

- . - • ' • -,W EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 39sweeps here with a rapid current between those old andforgotten bulwarks, on its way towards Watergate andthe Nore.,The Irishtown had also its town wall, thus rivalling itsneighbour in growth and importance. This wall ran fromthe western end of St, Canige's Churchyard across the Dean'agarden, and out Dean-street at Dean's Gate, near the cornerof Black Friars-street. Here it went clown the gardens tothe river Bregach, and thence followed the course of theriver to Watergate. The building of those walls is notascribed to Robert Talbot, their history being unknown.At tli3 junction of the two rivers, and contiguous toFrancis' Abbey, the walls of the Englishtown end in Evans'Turret, close by the spot where Cromwell crossed thestream, and breached the wall of the Franciscan Monastery,If, as is said, Robert Talbot built at his own expense thecity walls, the motives which induced him to accomplish solarge an undertaking will, very probably, remain a mysterytill the last" traces of his fortifications shall have long beenobliterated,THE BRIDGES,It seems a goodly stretch of time since the first bridgewas erected in Kilkenny, or since a young man, possiblyuntroubled with the cares of shoe leather, coming from theeastern slopes of the Nore, had to prepare for fording therapid river at Green's Bridge, so as to cross over to theancient " Gill Cainnigh " (Kilkenny). It was at Green'sBridge the river was shallowest, and there the ford, orridge of stones, were placed by which the river was crossed.Green's Bridge.— The exact date of the firstbuilding of" Green's Bridge is not known. BishopFelix O'Dullany (O'Delany), whom we have alreadyspoken,, of, as the founder, of St. Canice's (1192), in-E

40 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.troducecl into his town (Irishtown) a foreign order ofmonks, and founded what is known as the first Priory orHospital of St. John for them. The buildings which themonks occupied must have stood near the old Church of St.Maul, or the present fever hospital, for he made his grantsto the " Hospital of St. John, at the east end of the bridge ofKilkenny." Now, Bishop Felix died in 1202, so that Green'sBridge, mentioned in the charter as " the bridge," musthave been built before that time, and about the date inwhich the colony of the Flemings had well settled here.John's Bridge.—As to the first John's Bridge,the probable' time may be approximated somewhat inthe same manner. If Bishop Felix founded the firstPriory for the Monks of St. John, William Marshalfounded the second Priory (the present John's Abbey) ;and endowed it by special charter about 1211. Inthe charter granting endowments of lands, etc., to thePriory or Hospital of St. John, the second bridge isreferred to, while Green's Bridge is called by the name ofthe Great Bridge ; so styled from spanning the larger part•of the river, so that John's Bridge must have been erectedprevious to 1211.The Charter says :—" I have also granted the whole parishbeyond the bridge of Kilkenny ;"and again—•" / have granted besides, a place at the head of the greatBridge."The natural sequence of the weirs and bridges, as causeand effect, would be that the building of the weirs at'Green's Bridge so deepened the river above them that thenecessity for a bridge there soon followed. The ford belowthe castle, where Ormond Mills now stand, was also doneaway with by the building of the weirs ; hence the necessity

fcGAN's KlLKEifcijV GVibtilfor John's Bridge. And both weirs and bridges beingbuilt, the water turning the mills became private property,which necessitated the cutting for the small river in LowerJohn-street, and the erection of the bridge there.The Floods. : —But Mother Nore was much more wickedin thpse partially pre-historic times than at the presentday—. " The wat'ry godRolled fi-pm a silver urn his crystal flood."In 1487 the Great Bridge (Green's Bridge) was destroyedby a flood, after which it was built by Bishop Oantwell,who, of course, then ruled in Irishtown. In 1564 John'sBridge was swept away by the rising of the Nore. Butthe great calamity to the bridges was, however, reserved forSunday, the 2nd October, 1763, when the "stubbornNewre" swept away both bridges, and destroyed propertyto the amount of £11,000. The river rose in the night,destroyed also the bridges at Castlucomer, Bennett's Bridge,and Thomastown, and split two of the arches at Inistioge,while it carried away many persons in the onward tide ofdestruction; • thus putting to the test Shakespeare's safelyexpressed allusion when he said—•" What need the bridge much broader than the flood."The Government granted £5,407 for the re-building ofthe city bridges, the remainder being done at the expenseof the county.So vast was the inundation that the water rose fifteenfeet in some places. On Sunday, as about one hundredpeople stood on John s Bridge, surveying the temper of therolling torrent, a cabin was seen floating down the stream,which all ran to see. Immediately after they decamping,the bridge fell, burying the fourteen persons who remained,Udder the yellow wave.

42 EGAN's KILKENNY GUit)ii.In 1797, 1799 and 1800, unusual heavy floods also sweptdown the Valley of the Nore, nothing like them havingtranspired in more recent times.North-westerly winds, accompanied by rains and heavybanking clouds, are generally precursors of our floods, as,when condensed and' attracted by the-mountains in thenorth of the county, they swell the numerous hill torrents,which are thus precipitated to the Nore with considerablevolume and velocity.Yet with all this malevolence on the part of Mother Nore,there has been no lack of poets to sing her elegiac praises,one of which has been so much admired by Thomas Moorethat he has inserted it in his History of Ireland :—" But mark where yonder dusky clouds roll on,To cast a darker shade on all below !Now that the song of birds is hushed and gone,The stream makes lonely music in its flow ;Thy stream, thou lovely river ! Thine, sweet Nore !Flowing, though all around thee feel decay ;Thy banks still verdant, as in days of yore,Through the same plains thy crystal waters stray;Still through the same untrodden pathway glide,On, to the trackless ocean's silver shore,Till, mingling with the sea's eternal tide,The fair, the clear, the pure, exist no more,"HOTELS,the First.—The Corporation' of Kilkenny at thepresent day would find it rather inconvenient if) to alltheir other duties, they had added the additional one ofproviding fit accommodation for all respectable strangerscoming to the town, Yet this was one of the functionsdevolving upon that body about the year 1591, owing tothe suppression of religious houses, where strangers, anteriori9 that time, were usually well cared for, In that year;

EGAN S KILKENNY GUIDE!. 43the Corporation seems to have set about procuring, after anearnest' fashion, an inn for the town ; and accordinglyoffered,- as appears by the " Red Book," an annuity of 40s.per annum for the keeping of an inn. The most ancienthouse referred to as a licensed inn is that which now standsat the end of 'King-street, near the Market-place ; the doorof which is ascended by two flights of stone steps, andwhich we have already alluded to as " Kyteler's Inn."There was another inn at the time known as " The SmulkirTavern," frequently mentioned in the Corporation records ;and, coming nearer to us, we observe the names of RichardInwood, Thomas Talbot, and Thomas Young, innkeepers,about the year 1687.The Sheaf.—Later still, we had " The Sheaf," in Rose-Inn-street, in 1775, which was considered the principal innof the city ; and, in fact, one of the best kept in Ireland.At this period gentlemen travelling carried all their bedlinen with them, but it was the proud boast of Mrs.Reynolds, who kept " The Sheaf," that gentlemen frequentlyleft her inn without unfolding their bed linen." The Sheaf" stood on the site now occupied by theestablishment of Mr. Kerwick, Parade, and had for itsinsignia, from which it took its title, a large gildedrepresentation of a wheat sheaf displayed over the porch ofits principal entrance; at which doorway the Dublin andCork mail coaches stopped, after their toilsome journeys jand from which they started,The Garter,—"The Sheaf was not permitted toeiist without its rival, which exulted in the more aristocraticname of " The Garter." The situation of this houseis disputed ; some asserting that it stood where Mr, Doran'sVictualling stall is at present, facing lung-street; others that

ii&ufc8 fciLkEfort avibti.it remained down to a late period either where Mr.Labarte's house or Mrs. PurcelPs now stands, on the oppositeside of the street; the probability being that it wasremoved from one side to the other. Its proprietor, whosename was Lindsay, must have become somewhat famous asa domestic economist, when he excited the wrath of a localrhyluster, who thus sang of him—" Oh ! luckless Lindsay, of the Garter Inn,Where all's going out and nothing coming in."The Bush.—Many people in town remember "TheBush" Hotel, conducted by the late Mr. O'Hanlon, whichhotel bore the name of its predecessor, the latter having existedabout the year 1798, kept by a Mr. Hawkins. Theorigin of the name, as first applied to inns, is rather singular.Originally, a bush being over the door of an ale housedenoted that strong wine was sold within, which gave riseto the expression, " Good wine needs no bush "—that is, nobush to advertise it, as those who appreciated it generallydiscovered its whereabouts without the aid of a bush for asignpost. The old " Bush " stood on the left comer of thepassage to Mary's-lane.In William-street, "The Swan Inn " figured about 1717,and, contemporaneous with " The Sheaf," we had " TheMunster Arms" and " The Brazen Head" in Walkin-Btreet.The Club House.—Nearing the more polite—as wethink it—customs of our day, the word " Inn " was dropped)and "Hotel" substituted, as in the establishment of theHibernian Hotel, Patrick-street, now known as the ClubHousej and which was founded, in 1767, by Mr. JamesRice, About the time of the opening of the New Road,called the " Ormonde Road," the " Hibernian " was opened

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 45as the " Club House," by Messrs. Rice and Walsh. Atthis time the Kilkenny Theatre was in full swing, and thefame of the Club House might well be considered asnational.The Gray Mare.—If the feats of daring and ofchivalry, the scenes of song and story, the exploits of hardgoing and social adventure, which transpired at the ClubHouse about, this period —1820-40—and later, were written,they would fill a goodly volume. One only we can findspace for, the facts of which have been related to us by aneye-witness, Alderman Thomas Power, J.P., of this city :—The dessert had passed, and as the flowing bumper wentround, conversation became more brilliant, wit more pungent,and certainly the passions for the prevailing pastimein the horsy world conspicuously enlivened. A celebratedgray mare was the subject of discussion, the animal beingthe property of Mr. Courtenay, Ballyellis, Cork. Twochairs were set apart, a fire screen placed across them, anda bet of £50 made by the owner of the g^ray mare that hewould ride up the two flights of stairs, into the club room,and jump the gray mare over the screen.Mr. Courtenay went to the stables and demanded theanimal, with which he started on his perilous escapade :first up the stone steps of the principal entrance, then upone flight of stairs, turned the landing, and faced the second.No faltering; an occasional slip of the iron hoofs on thebrass protectors of the stairs caused every eye to strain—every heart to beat wildly. The door was reached, and thewhole assembly at the banquet, with gaping eyes, beheldtheir equine guest.All the voices of the room were raised to stop the foolhardyventure. The leap was placed so that he could jumpit from the door towards the front windows, on the street.

46 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.Only now the imminent danger became apparent. Wouldthe animal first clear the screen, then rush through thewindow on to the street, at a distance of sixty feet below.Servants shrieked ; the mare's own groom offered his lastentreaty to stop his master. All to no purpose. Thecourse was clear—away !—and the house reverberated fromthe shock. The mare well jumped it-r-but the stake—itwas not won ; she touched the screen in passing.Yet, what was for the risk 1 £50 for a prize ; a life inthe balance as a second stake; but the glorious prize, thefame of so unheard of a deed, was it not worth going for 1A.'ain the screen was arranged ; this time the positionchanged, so as to avoid the possibility of the animal boundingon to the street. The signal was given, and, with anoble jump, the gray mare cleared the screen, greeted withthe shouts of an alarmed and amazed audience.Bull Inn.—The only remaining ruin of the earlier innsis that which now stands at the eastern angle of Canice'sPlace; .formerly known as Bull Alley before the Corporationwidened the street here. There are to be seen at present,on the front, two stone escutcheons, one bearing the figureof a bull, and a dog pursuing a deer. The secondescutcheon bears the arms of the founder, charged, withan eagle displayed, the inscription being—"1602. Arms of Robert Joyce."This was the " Bull Inn," which, from the extent ofthe ruins, must have been a place of considerable importance.The Hole-in-tlie-Wall.—Passing from the more prosaicand tamer inns, we come to one which, in contrast, wemay call the poetic inn—the home of revelry and song,of wit and " hard going,"—when we arrive at the celebrated

EGAN's KILKENNY ,G0IDE. 49"Hole-in-the-Wall." About the year 1800, it seems, thepeople of Kilkenny were much given to taking supperaway from home ; and the " spread " at the " Hole-in-the-Wall " each night was calculated to supply the wants of thedomestic circle to the transcendant delight of its habitues.All the great ones of the day sat down to supper in the" Hole-in-the-Wall." Opposite to Mary's-lane, on the oppositeside of High-street, is a small, narrow alley, or passage,about fifty feet in length; and, at the end of this, therestands a small, two-storied building, which, in its presentunadorned condition, creates astonishment at the figurewhich it cut in the social world eighty years ago.Amongst its customers, Tom Clayton, its proprietor,reckoned the Duke of Wellington, when he visited Kilkenny; also John Butler, Earl of Ormonde, known asJack of the Castle ; Harry Flood, Henry Grattan, JonahBarrington, and the rest.Some local rhymster has left a stanza after him concerningthe liberal style of doing business in "The Hole," whichLoes far to prove that, even in the present day, that establishment,were it in existence, would do a fairish trade,The poet says—" If ever you go to Kilkenny,Remember the ' Hole-in-the-Wall;'You may there get blind drunk for a penny,. And tipsy for nothing at all,"No wonder, indeed, that this bill of fare did not last forever. One of the sources of income to the inn appears tohave arisen from the number of societies which held theirperiodic meetings there, and, amongst others, that known asthe " Kilkenny Legion." This was a local volunteer corps,which, in connection with its feats at arms, formed itselfF

50 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.into a " Breakfast Club." ' After the weekly musketrypractice, it was arranged that the man who made the leastmarks should stand a breakfast for the rest. Hence thefollowing lyric, which might be styled, an elegy on beefsteaks:—THE BREAKFAST CLUB." I sing—0 Muse, assist the lay—Ihe pastime of that merry clayWhen last our club assembled, gay,For breakfast." A fuller meeting never yet,Nor droller chaps, nor hungrier set,Since first our club together met,To breakfast." And now, 'tis expectation round ;How teeth did water, hearts did bound,As the waiters' steps up-stairs did sound,With breakfast." And quick two waiters, bless our eyes,With two tureens of monstrous size—Twelve pounds of beefsteak ready liesFor breakfast." The pot of tripes I ordered bring ;Tripe is a most delicious thing !Whatever else you have fetcli in,For breakfast." Then straight at his command was broughtTwo platters large, with tripe o'erfraught,Which also vanished, quick as thought,For breakfast." Mutton kidneys next the board supplies ;A turkey cold, of pretty size ;Six dozen eggs salute our eyes,For breakfast,V

EGAH'S KILKEMY GUltlE. 51" Numberless plates of toast were spread,From foot of table to the head,With prints of butter, loaves of bread,For breakfast." Oh ! what a seene for Hogarth's view—What scope for Hogarth's pencil, too,Could he see what those heroes do,At breakfast."THE "CITY OF THE CONFEDERATION."Such is the title of dignity by which Kilkenny is known.Whenever an orator, a poet, or a literateur, soars to thelanguage of metaphor, in ihis warmth of compliment; wheneveran aspirant for Parliamentary honours, or any otherclass of public wayfarer, sets his cap, to woo the citizens ofKilkenny, he at once hits on the expression by which heimagines in a word he can bestow most flattery, andlaunches into hyperbole, by addressing them as "the people ofthe city of the Confederation." Since, therefore, we hearit so often, it is no harm we should refresh our memorieson a subject concerning which whole yolumes of learned researchhave been written.The Confederation of Kilkenny may be said to have itsremote origin in the general clashing of political parties inEngland. The persecution of the Roman Catholics of thiskingdom, during the reigns of Elizabeth and James I., iswell known. Upon the accession of Charles I.—1G00—the hopes for freedom of conscience became again a questionfor the Irish Catholic ; but it was doomed to disappointment.Charles I. was almost in continual trouble with theEnglish Parliament.Charles I.—At this period the great struggle for thefinal ascendancy between the Sovereign and Parliament wasproceeding; and every mandate of Charles was acquiesced

52 EGAN'S KILKEHNY GUIDESin by the Parliament, seemingly, with the utmostreluctance. Most of the disputes arose from questionsaffecting the discipline of the Church of England andScotland ; the, king wishing to elevate the bishops of theEstablished Church ; while the Commons introduced a Billdepriving all ecclesiastics from exercising any civil function.Meanwhile the Puritans of England were loud in their furyagainst the Roman Catholics, and accused the king ofcountenancing Popery. Affairs went from bad to worsewith the king. A revolution broke out in Scotland,, whichhe just had succeeded in suppressing, when a much moreformidable revolt broke out in Ireland.The Irish revolution strengthened the malevolence of theCommons against the king. A general remonstrance upoathe state of the nation was drawn up, accusing the king ofhis unsuccessful foreign expeditions ; of his violent dissolutionof four parliaments ; of imprisoning members for theirconduct in the House ; of the levying of taxes without theconsent of the Commons, and numerous other charges; allof which grievances, they averred, were caused by a Popishfaction which influenced the king.The Revolution.—Let us now glance at the IrishRevolution. The period of the flight of the Earls Tyroneand Tyrconnel from Ulster—1607—saw the last strugglefor Milesian Ireland, and the departure for the Continentof Europe of all the Irish military leaders, as well as theirfaithful followers, But, in 164:0, a new Ireland had arisenabroad ; and, invited by the tortures and confiscations stillpractised at home, once more set sail to try the fortunes ofwar in their native land, Communications were kept upbetween Boger O'Moore, of Kildare, and the leaders abroad ;and filially Colonel Owen Roe O'Neill was looked forwardto as commander; and the 23rd October, 1641, was the

Up to this, WeEnglish Catholics who had settled in Ireland refrained fromtaking any part in the movement; hut now the Puritans,who constituted the government of Ireland, spared neitherEnglish nor Irish as Jong as they professed Catholicity, sothat the English Catholics of the Pale made common causewith the Irish. ,A meeting of the English or Anglo-Norman Catholicswas convened on the Hill of Crofty, in Meath, amongstthem being—Lord Gormanstown, at their head ; also, theEarl of Fingal, Lords Slane, Louth, and Netterville, SirChristopher Bellew, etc. Soon a party of the insurgentleaders rode up, and all having embraced each other, agreed9) hold a final meeting on the Hill of Tara, the 24thDecember, 1641. Thus it was that Ireland took up arms;and from this meeting the Confederation of Kilkennyoriginated.The Farties.—The clergy saw that the hour hadarrived when it became necessary for them to pronounceas to the uprising. A Synod met at the house of DavidRothe, then Bishop of Ossory, and passed resolutionsapproving of the revolt as a just and honourable cause ; andenjoined an oath of association to be taken; also thatrepresentatives from all the counties and important towns,not under Puritan authority, be elected and meet inKilkenny, on- the 24th October, 1642. Thus the Confederationof Kilkenny was convened.In England, matters had gone still worse with KingCharles. The mutual attacks between the Parliament andhimself at last resulted in a revolution against his authority ;and the civil war broke out in October, 1642. The twoparties, both in Ireland and England, were therefore—the

54 EGANS KILKENNY GUIDE.Parliamentarians, who sided with the Parliaament, and theRoyalists, who proclaimed in favour of the king ; and itwas in behalf of the king, at the same time in defence oftheir religious convictions, that the Confederation of Kilkennydeclared for war.Parliament House.—The General Assembly of theConfederation met at the house of Robert Shee, CoalMarket, known in history as the Parliament House. Itstood near the National Bank, upon the site of the gates ofthe New Market. The hall was forty-nine feet by fortyseven,had lightsome mullioned windows, and within wererows of benches with high backs to give ample accommodationto the Lords and Commons. Lord Mountgarretwas chosen President of the Supreme Council, with Mr.Patrick Darcy as Lord Chancellor of the House of Peers ;and Mr. Nicholas Plunket filled the post of Speaker in theGeneral Assembly. Within that hall there were twentyfivepeers—eleven spiritual and fourteen temporal—withtwo hundred and twenty-six commoners, to guard and directthe old aspirations of their country, which had now takena new stand point of strength and determination,Peace and War.—The transactions of the Confederationwere hailed with the utmost enthusiasm; and allnecessary steps were taken for the prosecution of the war.Owen Roe O'Neill had landed at Donegal with a band ofofficers ; and the Assembly prepared a remonstrance to theking before separating, setting forth the cruelties of theIrish Government. It not being our object, in a " Guideto Kilkenny," to enter into the vicissitudes of war, we havesimply to refer to the general aspect of the history of theperiod.One of the principal battles fought was that between

^^^^• '•EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 55Owen Roe O'Neill and General Munroe, at Beinburb. Thenumber of troops were about equal, but the victory ofO'Neill was most complete and triumphant. As the poetsang—" Owen Roe, our own O'Neill—He treads once more our land !The swtrd in his hand is of Spanish steel,But the hand is an Irish hand."After varying fortunes attending the arms of the Con-,federates; the king, who was sorely pressed in England,became anxious for a cessation of hostilities in Ireland, ashe required the army in England. A peace was accordinglyconcluded between the Confederates, and Ormonde on bthalfof the king; by which peace a section of the Confederationthought they had obtained all the rights andprivileges possible under the circumstances.The Nuncio.—But a new feature was soon to beintroduced. Pope Innocent X., being anxious for theprosperity of the Confederate cause, sent his Nuncio, JohnBaptist Rinuccini, to Ireland, so as to give his counsel and aidto the Confederates. After a journey of storm and numerousrisks, both by sea and land, Rinuccini landed near Kenmareon Saturday, 23rd October, 1644. At Macroom he was metby Colonel Richard Butler, a brother of the Earl ofOrmonde, also Lord Netterville and Mr. Taylor, and, onthe 11th November, 1645, he entered Kilkenny. Writinghimself, afterwards, of his reception, he says :—" The nightbefore my arrival I stopped at a villa, about three milesfrom the .town." This was the Castle of Ballybur, thenbelonging to the Comerfords. And he proceeds with thenarrative :—" The next day, having set out in my litter, all along the wayfor the three miles of journey I was met by the whole body of the

56 ESAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE,nobility, and by the youth of Kilkenny and the adjoining counties,who presented themselves, marshalled in separate troops, and theleader of each troop, dismounting, approached on foot to presenttheir compliments to me. The first to present themselves was aband of fifty students on horseback, all armed with pistols, who,after caracoling for a time around me, conveyed their welcomathrough one of their number deputed for the purpose ; lie wascrowned with a laurel wreath, and richly robed, and he addressedsome good verses to me. At the gate the Corporation of the citywere drawn up."The whole way to the Cathedral, which is, perhaps, as long asthe Via Lungara in Rome (about three quarters of a mile), waslined with soldiers on foot bearing their muskets. In the centreof the city, at a very high cross, where the citizens ar3 wont toassemble, we all stopped, and a youth, surrounded by a vast concourse,pronounced an oration, after which we again moved on till,we reached the Cathedral."After a few clays' rest, he formally visited Lord Mountgarretat the castle; where, in honour of the Nuncio, theSupreme Council held their meeting ; for at that time theConfederates had taken possession of the castle as wellas of all the churches. The Nuncio, in his own words, thusdescribes this visit:—" General Preston arid ViscountMusketry, brother-in-law to Ormonde, having waited uponme in the name of the Council, I set off, accompanied bythe whole body of nobility, the military lining the way. Atthe head of the hall was seated Lord Mountgarret, Presidentof the Council; and a seat of red damask was placedfor me on his right hand."The Nuncio soon became aware of the peace which hadbeen privately arranged between the General Assembly,and Lord Ormonde (then viceroy) on behalf of the' king,against which he protested, being resolved, in conjunctionwith O'Neill, to carry on the war ; which resulted in thethe Confederation being soon split up into two sections, the

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE, 59war and the peace advocates. But, on the 1st of August,peace was publicly proclaimed by the General Assembly,and Ormonde entered Kilkenny, where he was received. with peace acclamations.In a few days, all this was reversed, and Kilkennytore down the laurels of peace which had festooned theentrances fo the city. The aged bishop, the venerable Davicli Rothe, whose monument in St. Canice's we refer to inanother place, having received a communication of protestfrom the Nuncio against the peace, published an interdictagainst the peace party, thereby, in his old age, raising hishand for the final overthrow of religious intolerance.The Nuncio was now driven to assemble a number ofrepresentatives in Waterford ; when he published his protestagainst the peace, declaring it to be a betrayal- of thenation's confidence, and a violation of the Confederate oath.As a result of this action, a newly-elected General Assemblymet in Kilkenny, on the 10th of January, 1647, andresolved to carry on the war.After repeated victories and defeats, they, however, againallowed the bane of division to separate them ; and a secondpeace with Ormonde was ratified ; the reason advanced beingthe exhausted resources of the nation. Thus the Confederatecause fell from its high place, as that of a brilliant assemblageruling the most critical destinies of a-nation, to one of partyconflict and avowed dissension.SOCIETY-MANNERS AND CUSTOMS.The popular sports and customs of s any people form aninteresting portion of their history. And like all elsemundane, these we find as shifting and evanescent, as anyother trait of society. Three hundred years ago, a sportsmanwent out in the morning, with his followers and dogs, to'G

60 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.chase the wolf, deer, hare, or martin. As to the deer atthat early period, Sir John Davys writes that Ormonde'sdeer park at Kilkenny was the only one in Ireland.Hawking seems not to have been so much practised thesedays in Ireland as on the Continent; for, in the middle ofthe fifteenth century, several Acts of Parliament werepassed prohibiting their importation, and setting forth that"the great plenty of goshawks, falcons, and tarsels formerlywithin the land of Ireland was reduced."People who complain " how dull the town is," now-a-days,would, if they reflected for a moment upon the small andcrude means afforded to our ancestors for pleasure, certainlycompassionate them. No three-volume novel then whiledaway the hours of home comfort; no theatre shed itslustrous lijhts of golden brilliancy ; no concert, where thepiano and the string band blend their soft strains to accompanythe thrilling notes of a prima donna, cheered adelighted audience; for then the manuscript book, confinedto the cloister or the castle, was the only literature ;and the " Mystery Plays " the only influence which tendedto spread a cultivation, while, at the same time, affordingsome general object of interest and attraction to thepublic.In the earlier ages, even shortly after the introductionof Christianity, amusing games of the intellectual kind werenevertheless known. For instance, King Alfred, of theNorthumbrian Saxons, who was driven into exile in Irelandin A.I). 685, thus describes the Ossorians :—" I found, from Ara to Gle,In the rich country of Ossory,Sweet fruit, rich jurisdiction,Men of truth chess-playing."—Osuanic Transactions,

—immmmmfeGAN's KILKENNY GtlDE.6lThe Bull Baits.—The vacuities in the general programmeof intellectual pastimes in earlier days were, however,partly compensated for by some of a coarser, if wewould not add more barbarous character. Bull-baiting wasa popular pastime in Kilkenny from about the year 1200 to1830—that is, for a distance spanned by no less than sixhundred years. The Corporation appointed a committee tolook after the sport, and the committee luxuriated in thetitle of " The Grand Council of Bullring." To be a memberof this body was then este'emed as high an honour as it isnow to become Mayor and High Sheriff; for we find by the"Red Book "of the Corporation that, in the year 1591,two burgesses, on payment of a large sum annually, wereallowed to become members of this assembly.A civic functionary, who had great powers, in the city atthat time, was styled " The Lord of the Bull-ring." He wasHigh Constable of the city, and, as such, ruled the nightand became mayor of the nocturnal community, which,though less in numbers, often proved more difficult togovern. The office of " High Constable " ceased to be filledfrom the installation of the reformed Corporation, in 1844,though the night watchman at present performs part of thefunctions allotted to him. Even the Mayor was dubbed" The Mayor of the Bull-ring," from the granting of thecharter of James I.—1609—till about the year 1700.Dr. Ledwick, in his book, " Antiquities of Irishtown,"states that " the functions of lord of the bullringwere usually committed to the care of a bachelor. Hiselection was annual; and, during his office, he was guardianof the bachelors, and on their marriage, was entertained bythem; so that be passed his time in festivity and goodcheer." Though Dr, Ledwick is inaccurate in this state-Went, as those'elected to the office often refused to accept- £>•

62 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.it, owing to its onerous duties ; yet he appears anxious toprove that there were quite as many bachelors in oldentimes as in latter days in Kilkenny ; and also that theyseemed to have amused themselves after a ditferent fashionthan at the present day.xlbout the year 1700 the Corporation, however, ceased topatronize the bull-ring ; the title of " Lord of the Bullring" was changed to " High Constable," and the wealthierclasses ceased to patronize the custom so extensively. Notwithstandingthis, it was kept up by the butchers of thecity till later times.The original bull-ring was near St. Francis'Abbey,-stillcalled " the ring;" but the modern bull-ring was held onJames's Green, where the last "bull bait" was held, on the29th September, 1837.One of the latest " bull baits " was characterized by asingular occurrence—nothing less than the escape of thebull among the crowd.The method of tying the bull was simple and seeminglyeffectual. A hole was dug, in which were deposited somelarge weights, having rings. These were well packed in theearth, and a bar, let through all the rings, was the staple^towhich the bull was attached by a rope of enormous strength,Specially made. On this occasion, we are told by an eyewitness,that the surging and boisterous crowd, whichviewed with such profound amazement the clogs as theyWere let in turn at the bull, were instantly terrified, almostto fury, by—the escape of the beast. Women flung themselvesabout in wild commotion; the men were scarcelyable to save themselves by flight, as the animal, with asavage rush, swept along Black Mill, Canice's Well, andout in the direction of Castle Blunden. Such of the crowdas had recovered the fright went after him, at a safe

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 63distance, till the furious and jaded beast took refuge in apond of water. Here a soldier stripped off, and swam inafter him, to the great amusement of the spectators.Cock Fighting.—But the singularity of the change incorporate tastes appears in the fact that, shortly afterceasing to patronize bull-baiting, they took up cock-fighting.Accordingly, in 1747, the following order was made :—"That a cock-pit be built ; that a sum of £20 be given for same ;and that Ambrose Evans, Mayor, be one of the overseers."This latter cock-pit was actually built in St. Mary'sChurchyard, but there was also another in John-street.Mystery Plays.—As a correction to these cruel sports,and also to the much worse forms of pastime which encouragedprofane dialogues, the clergy adopted and promotedthe religious plays called " Mysteries," by which they taughtthe truths of Christianity, and at the same time spread an intellectualrefinement, and a taste for ecclesiastical history.These plays were first practised in the churches, but about theyear 1300, they were produced in public; and we have it, asstated in another place, that they were performed at the"Market Cross of Kilkenny " dotvn to the year 1650. Onthese occasions the Bishop himself took part in the playwith the young men of the town, and spoke the prologueand epilogue.Archery,—Archery, of shooting with the long bow, was,of course, largely practised in Kilkenny, the shooting groundbeing the Butts Green, where the " butts " or targets wereset up j hence the name., Athletics,—Down so near as 1703 athletic sports Wereencouraged at the.fairs of the city ; for in that year a resolutionwas passed by the Corporation (John Blunden,Mayor), tillering " a piece of plate, value 2{ln,, to be run lot

64 KGANS KlLKE&tfY CttttDE.by four maids, as the Mayor shall appoint." And, in 1713,"a piece of plate, value 23s., was to be'run for by fiveyoung women," which came off the day of the fair, andwhich was ordered to be advertised in the Dublin Gazette.We apprehend that the difficulties in finding competitorsfor these prizes now-a-days would be rather considerable.• Highwaymen.—At last we approach a " manner orcustom" which it is to be regretted, even in a muchdiminished degree, may pervade society through all time—that is, "highway robbery." About two hundred years ago,the class known as " highwaymen " appears to have had ajolly time of it in Kilkenny. The Government of the time,in order to get at the root of the evil, usually had the leaderof a gang under " protection," and this being a privilegedbeing, who was allowed the use of a horse to spy after theother robbers, he often created much panic in a district, aswell as give rise to strange anecdotes of daring and adventure.The " great one" of the last century, as a highwayman,was James Freney. Few, now arrived at the age ofmanhood in Kilkenny, but remember the flaring cover of atwopenny book, exhibited on a standing in the Tholsel,bearing the tempting title of " The Adventures of JamesFreney," written about the year 1750. Freney consideredhimself a " gentleman robber," and contended that in hisperegrinations he conducted himself as such. It is said henever robbed a lady, nor a poor man ; and, even when herobbed a rich man, he generally returned him as muchmoney as took him home. Those attributes of his characterare warranted in one of the ballads sung of his exploits, thefirst verse being—*" One morning as I, being free from cafe, ., .I rode abroad to take the air,'Twas my fortune for to spyA jolly Quaker riding by ;And its oh, bold Captain Freney--Oh, bold Freney, oh I"

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 65One of Freney's most daring exploits occurred in Desartdemesne. Of this he himself says :—" About nine o'clockI went and awoke Bulger (a follower of his), desiring himto get up and guard me, whilst I slept, as I guarded himall night." Bulger was not long on guard when the sheriffand fourteen armed men, who had coipe out from Kilkenny,surrounded the house, " which they attempted to burn overour heads." Bulger shot Mr. Burgess, the sheriff, afterwhich they both rushed out through the enemy. Bulger,himself, being shot in the leg, was taken prisoner, butFreney kept all at bay till he escaped over the wall of LordDesart's deer park.Troy's Wood, about two miles from the city, was, byolden records, a noted place for the concealment of banditti.A story connected with the place illustrates the fact thathonour and a certain sense of justice were to be foundamong these outcasts Dr. Nicholas Walsh, the ProtestantBishop of Ossory, who died in 1585, summoneda brogue-maker, named Dullard, into hisi court, in Irishtown,for crime. Dullard surprised tiie bishop in his house, andstabbed him, after which,he fled for protection to a band ofrobbers, then occupying Troy's Wood. Having explainedthe cause of his presence among them, they tried him by acourt-martial, accordiiig to their lights; passed sentenceupon him, and hung him with a gad from one of the treesin the wood.People often point out a tomb in St. Canice's uponwhich the cobbler's last, awls, .etc., are to be seen, asthat of Dullard ; but this is a mistake, as the tomb in St.Canice's is that of Richard Clonan, formerly burgess ofKilkenny, and Elina Rothe, his wife.The Grloves.—From deer - stalking to falconry, bullbaitingto cock-fighting, we have come with the tide of

66 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.> II 1 .change, and now we make a distinct and abrupt turn.Young men now-a-days rarely think of putting on '' thegloves." The " noble art of self-defence " has gone with itsaccompanying pastimes. Such was' not the case thirtyyears ago in Kilkenny. At that time the gloves was afavourite recreation, quite fashionable, and the young manconsidered " handy" was usually esteemed a favourite.Tommy Burke, with his travelling theatre, frequently visitedKilkenny at that time. He remained here for months at avisit, and the advent of Tommy's coming was lookedforward to, as he was a professor at the gloves. Anotherproficient was " Sutton the Black ; " and a regular schoolof " art" was established by Jemmy Hawe in John-street.Manly and athletic exercises, we regret to say, are' oftencautiously avoided by the " mashers" who now-a-daysrepresent our manhood.Hand Ball.—About the same period—thirty yearsago—the splendid game of hand-ball was most popular inour city. As an exercise, few could surpass it; while theharmless excitement which it created helped to produce ahealthy taste for rational amusement. The champion ballplayerof Ireland at that time was a Kilkenny man, MartinButler. In 1854 Butler won the champion belt for Irelandfrom James Stewart.His fame being widespread, two officers proposed to playhim in Carlow, in 1863, for £20, and, though the advantageof "two against one" is proverbial, still Butler secured hisvictory. In 1874 another challenge brought him to Liverpool,where he won a second belt from Carroll, which wasgiven by one of the Liverpool societies.Strangely enough, in his day, the nave of St. Francis'Abbey had been converted into a ball-alley, and it was hereButler learned to play. Though now retired from the

• EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 69scenes of his former triumphs, and his name almost entirelyforgotten, his achievements deserve, in their own way, apassing note from the impartial chronicler of " Manners andCustoms."Horse Racing.—In this year of Grace—1884—it isusual, when a motion comes on before the Corporation foradvancing some money to' the '' Races," to have a stormydebate ensue between the economists and the spendthrifts.So it has been also in the past; and we think it only fairthat in the expenditure of the civic fund, great care shouldbe exercised—whilej at the same time, free debate be freelyaccorded. But what will be said to the gentlemen whomanaged the corporate funds in the year 1731, to whoseconduct we are about calling the attention of the economists.The oldest record of horse-racing here, we have yet beenable to refer to, is that of 1731. This is a deed by which theCorporation and several citizens bound themselves to provide" four perpetual plates," to be run for in the Park ofDunmore—viz., two plates of £20 and two of £10. Tothis the Corporation subscribed £400 (four hundred pounds),and the Mayor's seal was affixed to the document. Anitem such as this goes pretty far to explain; thatwhatever other changes may have come over the spirit ofthe City Fathers, they have not at least grown more liberalin their support of horse-racing.CROMWELL IN KILKENNY.The civil war in England during the reign of Charles I.,,the execution of that ill-fated king, and the establishmentof the Commonwealth under Cromwell, are well-knownfacts of English history. Cromwell, one of the Generals ofthe Parliament, having overthrown the army of KingH

70 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.Charles, ser.t supplies to Ireland for the subjugation ofOrmonde, who, after the peace with the Supreme Councilof the Confederation of Kilkenny, was still in arms for theking. Cromwell marched on Kilkenny in February, 1650,but, finding the garrison determined to defend the city, heretired, and laid siege to Callan.On the 22nd March, 1650, he began in reality his attackon Kilkenny. The garrison was defended by Sir Walterliutler. At this time it is well to note that a dreadfulplague had visited the island—in August, 1649—and,having reached Kilkenny, it so decimated the defendersthat but four hundred fighting men and one troop ofOrmonde's cavalry made up the available troops for defence.In fact, Lord Dillon, who had two thousand men, whichwere ordered to raise the siege of Kilkennj', said the menrefused to march there, owing to the plague. This plagueis described as something like the Black Death of London.Its victims only withstood the attack for a few hours, andby it the population of the city was reduced one-third.Cromwell's position was on the hill now called MollMackey's Hill, on the old road leading to Outrath, fromwhich he effected a breach in the city walls, not far fromPatrick-street Arch. The garrison erected earthen breastworks.To this breach the enemy twice led on an attack,but each time were repulsed. Cromwell himself afterwardsremarked, when referring to his failure at this point, " It wasa mercy to us we did not further contend for an entrancethere, as it would have cost us very dear."Another attack was also made on Irishtown, and hereagain the defence was equally stubborn and valorous. Fromthe smallness of the number available by the garrison, theyhad soon, however, to lessen their circle of defence, andaccordingly retired from Irishtown; and, on the 27th March,

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 71a breach in the town wall was made with pick-axes, in thewall bounding the grounds of the Franciscan Abbey, closeto where the Bregach joins the Nore. Here Cromwell'ssoldiers at once rushed into those gardens which skirt theriver, but met a sure fate, as all that entered were put tothe sword, and once more they abandoned the attack.St. John's Gate, at the corner of Maudlin-street, was thenext point to which the Cromwellians turned their attention.Colonel Gilford's men, having first attempted to burn thejiate, came at a dashing pace to take it by a rush. They,however, were again forced to withdraw, with the loss atthis point of one hundred men.From the severe repulses which Cromwell received, it issaid, he had determined to raise the siege, but the garrisoneventually offered terms of surrender, and were allowed tomarch out with military honours ; the rights of the citizensto be respected. Cromwell, when praising the heroism ofthe defenders, said he had lost more men here, than in thetakinu; of Drogheda.As to the rights of the citizens 'being protected ; assoon as the garrison had riven up arms, about twomiles outside the city, the Cromwelliau soldiery madesad havoc of the churches. St. Canice's was soon completelydismantled. The monuments were made " spalls " of, thealtars demolished, the priceless stained glass windows wereno longer to be seen, the bells were moved from theirtowers, and the roof soon followed with the rest of thedebris. Their desecration of the " Market Cross " we havealready referred to.TRADESMEN'S TOKENS.About the middle of the seventeenth century—say, theyear 1656—the coinage of the realm was rather in an

72 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUiDE.unsatisfactory condition. The want of small coins, valueone penny, was sorely felt by traders, and hence the customwhich prevailed in Kilkenny, as well as other places, ofissuing " tradesmen's tokens.'" A trader who had advancedfairly in the commercial world' thought he could neverpossibly be big enough till he had a currency of his own, itnot being a necessary stipulation whether it was gold orbrass; the majority, however, favouring the latter metal.The oldest token of this class known in Kilkenny is onestruck by Adam Dulan, at Kilkenny, in 1578. But, in1656, the "tokens" of Kilkenny became pretty general.Each token usually bore the arms or the insignia of thetrader to whom it belonged, as well as his name. EdwardRothe, a merchant, of Kilkenny, struck coinage (tokens) ofhis own in 166S. lie belonged to the Rothe family, whichoccupied the old building now known as Wolfe's Arch.The coin bears the arms of. the Rothes—a stag beneath atree. Richard Innwood, John Beaver, Ralph Skanlan,Launcelot Johnson, Lucas Wall, John Whittle, WilliamKeogh, Nicholas Langton, Thomas Adams, Thomas Talbot,Edmond Tobin, and Thomas O'Toole all had their own"mints," and issued their own penny currency, about thesame period,The Corporation were soon forced to take notice of theextravagant issue of coins, as some of the tokens were foundnot equal to their issued value, and probably some worthnothing at all. Some of the coins bear the city arms, whichleads to the conclusion that the Corporation themselvesstruck small money. Mr. Tobin's pence appear on thebooks of the Corporation as having come to grief, for, upona division, it was declared by the civic body, relative to thisgeiitlcmairscurrency,thatitwasworthnothing. Theentryis—"Put to the vote whether above-named pence of Mr. Edward

JfiGAN's KiLKfcfcNt Gtjlbii 73Tobiu should pass or not. Then voted in the negative, and orderedthey should be suppressed."But the proclamation of King Charles, in 1672, issuinghalfpence and farthings as current, put an end to the"tradesmen's tokens," and thus destroyed the seeminglyhappy prerogative'—though doubtful advantage to thepublic—of every man being his own coiner.KILKENNY A "SEAPORT."Just as to-day there is a general anxiety for rail development,bringing Kilkenny into connection with all the pointsof the mariner's compass ; so, about the year 1755, therewas all manner of agitation, but in a much more earnestform, concerning the project of making Kiikennya "seaport."A canal to Durrow, a canal joining the Nore with theBarrow, entering via Templemartin and Sion, were spokenof; as well as a canal to Inistioge ; the latter being themost feasible. The scheme was finally projected, and, aswe are aware, ended in disappointment and collapse.In. the year 1751 an Act was passed embodying a" Corporation Company" for carrying out the internalnavigation of Ireland, and commissioners appointed for eachprovince. As a kind of local committee, the magistrates ofeach district were to become agents for carrying out thework; but, by subsequent Acts, the Central Corporationwas dissolved, and full powers given to local commissioners,newly appointed.'In the year 1755 a sum of £10,000 had been granted byAct of Parliament to make the Nore, from Kilkenny toInistioge, navigable.' By the purchase in fee of therequired portion of the lands of Archer's Grove, fromArchbishop Cox, of Cashel; and of Warrington from Mi\Waring; the right of way on the canal has been secured to

74 EGAJfS klLKEtftfY GUIDE.the present day. Some lovers of the picturesque make thisstatement in such an appeasing and apologetic fashion ; asif they were quite sure the possession of the canal walkwas an equivalent inheritance for the canal itself.After the local commissioners had been appointed, theyapplied at once for part of the money to build the locks ;and the first built was the one still to be seen in perfectcondition, supporting the bridge which leads from the walkinto the " Ormonde Woollen Factory." At Crow's Wellthere was a stone lock two hundred feet long. Part of thismay still be seen in splendid preservation, immediatelybelow the Archer's Grove flour mill; and Crow's Well isevidently the old spa ; the waters of which, having quite aferruginous appearance, and which have been sent by theCorporation to Dr. Cameron this year—1884—for analysis.The canal was supposed to fall into the river Nore atArcherstown, and, about half a mile lower, it issued againfrom the river to same side, and passed on to Kilfera.Here it crossed the river to the Dunbell side, and, after astretch of a mile, entered the river again, following its bedfor about half a mile. Coming to Kilree, it re-crossed theriver to the Ivilree side ; and thence on to Bennett's Bridgeand Inistioge.It was rather apparent that the conducting of work ofsuch magnitude entailed repeated calls on the Governmentpurse-strings, the following sums being from time to timegranted :—In 1755 £10,0001759 ... ... 4,0001761 ... ... 4,0001763 .... ... 1,5001765 3,0001767 2,7501775 3,000£28,250

EGAN'S KILKEHNT GUIDE. 75Tradition, so busy in having its own method of representingmany historical facts, has something to say to the rnoietyof £1,500 received in 1763. The original Government grantshad been well nigh exhausted, so that stratagem wasemployed to secure further aid. This sum was promisedupon the condition of a boat plying on the canal betweenThoniastown and Kiikenny, so that, no matter how thewatery course was to be improvised, the boat itself wassoon and easily procured. Pending the first arrivals, theCorporation passed the following highly encouraging resolution,on the 21st September, 1762 :—" Resolved—That whatever customs duties or tolls the Mayor anilcitizens of the city of Kilkenny are or may he entitled to, arising outof all wares, goods, or interchanges, brought into said city fromBennett's Bridge, or farther ; or carried thereout by water carriage,be and are hereby remitted for ten years."After this resolution, we may naturally expect that sometraffic, real or feigned, on the canal should be forthcoming,especially when the £l,- r >00 was in question. The boat waschartered, and, with pennon flying, advanced along thesilver ripples of the canal ; we had almost said with goldenintentions. Tradition, of course as a scandal giver, savsthat horses were employed to pull the cargo of skins, nowover the flats and shallows, a.ain across dry land towardsits destination, till at last, finding its way among the deeplocks of Archer's Grove, the assembled multitude cheered iton its way as an emblem of the shipping which was toenter the future Kilkenny Harbour. Whether Parliamentwas so exuberant in its acclamations as the multitude wecannot say ; but it granted the money, which may be lookedupnii as prize money for the first boat of merchandizesailing into Kilkenny.At last Parliament began to grow weary of the business,and appointed a committee to inquire after the transactions

76 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.of the company. After enumerating the several contractsentered into for the completion of the work, for whichthousands of pounds were received by the contractors, whofailed to execute it, the Parliamentary Committeefinally resolved :—" That the contracts hereinbefore mentionedought to be forthwith carried into execution, andenforced ; and that the unexpended sums in the hands of therepresentatives ought to be laid out by them towards completingthe navigation." In the language of a legion scribes," comment is here unnecessary." The history of the defunctcanal affords one of these examples of mal-administrationwhich are, unfortunately, so often the sickening inheritanceof a struggling nationhood, and affords a satisfactory explanationof this most unsatisfactory transaction, whyKilkenny failed to become a "seaport."HUNTING.The hunting fields of Kilkenny have long been famous,Nearly a century ago it was the pleasure of the leadersamong the sporting community in Ireland to "unlimber andspank" across the carpet sward of our county. Nomellower turf could be alighted on; few stiffer obstaclesto try the mettle of a " banker" across country were to bemet with ; and everything, including a good stone wall test,was to be found, calculated to prove a guerdon of glory tothe hunter or horseman able to stay with the swift

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE, 79The Kilkenny Hunt Club was first formed by John Power,who resided at Derry, near Ballyhale, and his brother,Richard Power, of Tullaghmaine Castle, county Tipperary,about a century ago. • The Club met at the Club HouseHotel, then owned by Mr. liice, in November and Februaryof each year, and the orgies and feasting amongst themembers and visitors, heightened by the fire and the fervourof their sporting enthusiasm, spread a general air of gossipand hilarity over the city. Not only county gentlemen, butmilitary men turned hither for sport from all parts ofIreland at the time ; and one of the latter thought so muchof the Kilkenny " living " that he awoke his alliterativepowers in the following descriptive strain :—" How theybruised and boxed, laughed and lushed, fought andphilandered ; and, my dear sir, they were neither milksopsnor Molly Coddles."Mr. Eitzpatrick, in his " Irish Sports and Pastimes,"illustrates the glories of a "meet "in a poem commencingwith the following lines :—•" What a meet! I remember one glorious spring morn- -Our hearts beat with joy at the sound of the horn !The breakfast at Rice's was sumptuous but short,For all were most eager to join in the sport."After Sir John Power coming to reside at Kilfane, thohunting of the county became more extensively supported,and its notoriety may be said to have become national.The popularity of the sport at that time may be fairlyjudged from the fact that, after Sir John Power's mastership,the late Mr. George Bryan, M.P. for the county, acceptedthe position. Associated with him in the hunting field formany years was the late Mr. Edmund Smithwick ; and thepresentation of a souvenir by Mr. Bryan and the Hon.i

80 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.Major Wliyte-Melville to Mr. Sraithwick, upon the death ofhis favourite " i;ray," is one of the reminiscences of Huntinglife connected with their sporting associations. The hoofpresented was magnificently mounted in silver, and bearsthe following inscription, written by the Major, whoseability as a literary man is now generally acknowledged :—" In the cornel' of tho stable there's n lone and empty stall ;There's a snaffle and a breast-plate hanging idle on the wall;There's a hoof on the chimney that was foremost in the van,And gazing on it—mute and sa:l — a sorrow-stricken man." His heart is aching with a void that never shall lie filled,For the fav'rite ho loved so well—the fav'rite that he killed ;Through the bounds of fair Kilkenny, though lie search its hilland plain,Xed Smithwick cannot hope to find so good a horse again." Bank, wall, or ditch, no matter which, he landed safe and clear,And ' change' or ' kick' would do the trick, and jump it, neverfear ;The fence could not be strong enough, nor long enough the day,Xo hounds could race too smart a pace for Sam, the gallant gray."To E. SMITHWICK."From WIIYTE-MELVILLE and GEORGE BKVAN."THE KILKENNY THEATRE.Its Origin. —Some of the brightest scenes, the gayestassemblages, the most fashionable of audiences, the foremostgalaxy of wit, taste, and classic ability which a provincialtown could enjoy, were experienced at Kilkenny during thehalcyon period of its Theatre. About the latter half of theeighteenth century it had become what we would now-adayscall "the rage" to indulge in private theatricals, wherenone but amateurs were admissable ; and the halls of iranya wood-embowered household resounded to the echoes of aRomeo's impassioned declaration, or a Juliet's more entrancingavowal.

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.SiAtLurgan, in Armagh, the seat of the celebrated WilliamBrowulow; at Thomas Connolly's, Castletown, countyKildare ; at the residence of the Duke of Leinster, Carton ;Sind still later, about the year 1774, at Knocktopher,Farmley, and Kilfane, in the county of Kilkenny, amateurtheatricals were inaugurated. Thus the nucleus of aprivate company was formed ; though as yet, the modestywhich sometimes enshrines merit did not permit the performersto court the plaudits of the crowd.Henry Grattan.—A strange coincidence is lecordedof the cast in one of the plays—" Macbeth." The immortalHenry Grattan was then a member of the Irish Parliament,and the private theatrical party had the honour of countinghim in their number. The part Mr. Grattan took in theplay was Macduff, but that of the i'ival, Macbeth, fell to thelot of Mr. Flood, both being, happily unconscious at thetime, of the for ever famous stage on which they weredestined to fight many a real battle, in the Parliamentaryarena of the Irish House of Commons.The First Season.—It was at Kilfane that theKilkenny Theatre may be said to have really originated, as,under the auspices and nurturing care of Mi 1 . RichardPower, afterwards Sir Richard Power, the private companybecame so starlike and attractive, and grew so much inthe consciousness of their own ability, that they were easilypersuadedto come to Kilkenny and open a public theatre inaid of the charitable institutions of our city. The theatreopened on the 2nd February, 1802, and continued eachyear till the final drama, on the 28th October, 1819, for aperiod of eighteen years ; during which time Kilkenny was,each succeeding season, tilled with all the most influentialpeople of the land ; whole families came annually to make

82 KGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.the city a home during the time of festivity, which wagcalled the Kilkenny Carnival ; the result being that, longbefore the season commenced, all the available house accommodationwas engaged, and, as another consequence, it isremembered that house rent in Kilkenny at the time wentto a fabulous amount.The Object.—In those days the object of charity wasnot alone in name, for the reality was made rather apparentby the sums raised from the plays. In the first seven yearsthe charitable institutions acknowledged the followingsums :—Charitable Society £752 16 !)Benevolent .Society ... ... ... 6S4 12 0Fever Hospital 150 0 0Straw Society 91 2 9£1,678 11 (iTin; chair belonging to the Charitable and BenevolentSocieties may be yet seen in the Tholscl, with the name ofi.Lch society, in gold letters empanelled on the top, and thed.tte of its being founded ;—" Charitable Society, 1726." Benevolent Society, 17S9,"And to give an idea of how the receipts increased as thetheatre became more attractive; in the year 1817 alonethe eight plays produced £1,040—which, with £180 raisedby the balls, was given to the charitable institutions thatyear. This was a charitable effort in the truest sense, andWell merits the references made to the objects of the company,in some of their prologues and epilogues, which speakas follows :—" But still, 'tis proper, we should briefly sayFirst, who we are, and second why we play jfirst who we are—we are—psha! that's all stuff,You know us every one, and that's enough** * * * * * *

EBAtt's KILKiiSfNY GiUlbK. 83But nobler still we hold our purposed endXot to umvse alone, but to befriend ;O'er our past sorrows cast a friendly veil' ' And bid unbounded charily prevail."Thus the society fulfilled, in the most truthful form, thespirit of the motto which they emblazoned on the front ofthe theatre :— ,. ." Whilst we smile we soothe affliction."Surely the entire rhetorical paintings of the KilkennyPaper of the time may be considered as quite pardonableunder the cxhilirating influences then prevailing ; a few ofwhich we select:—The Visitors.—" The city of Kilkenny has neverwitnessed such an assemblage of fashionable society as itdoes at this moment. The lodging-houses are all nearly full.;and the carnival, to which expectation has been anxiouslylooking for the last two months, at length has opened withthe greatest spirit."" Our city continues to be the centre of attraction amongthe gay and fashionable, for the fame of our plays has goneforth, and the number of strangers to be discovered amongour visitors is daily increasing."" The performances of this (the second) season are nowOVer, and never did the most brilliant audience that evergraced a theatre behold a more extraordinary assemblageof varied talents—talents happily united, judiciouslydisposed, and benevolently exerted."The New Theatre,—The season of 1803 opened withlike brilliant prospects, and its close justilied the KilkennyPaper in the following statement ;—" Our theatre, «ve venture to assert, has exhibited, forthe last week, a greater assemblage of rank, beauty, and

84 EGANS KILKENNY GUIDE.aocomplishment than the capital often contains at thesame time."For the first three seasons the theatre was held in theTholsel, but in the year 1805, a new building, sufficient toaccommodate the large audiences, was raised, under thesuperintendence of Mr. William Robertson, on the site nowoccupied by the Atheu;eum, and the store adjoining it; atthe back of which may still be seen one of the windows ofthe old theatre. " During the day the vast concourse wentto the hunting field, Mr. Power's foxhounds being thenadmitted to be the best in the kingdom " (Kilkenny Paper,February, 1802).In the evening the theatre opened ;. and, at the close ofthe programme, the spacious apartments were so arrangedthat, at a short notice, they might be cleared for the ball,which was got up after an extravagant and brilliant design.Moore.—In 1808, amongst the other additions to thedramatis persnnce, came the world-renowned Irish bard,Thomas Moore. He took a part the fifth night of theseason, in " The Rivals " as David ; and in the farce of thatnight, entitled, " The Padlock," he played Mungo. Thebard lodged in the hotel which stood where the present ruinis, at the right side of the entrance to Mary's Churchfrom Rose-Inn-street. This house had a bay window, inwhich he frequently sat during the theatre season • and thisbrings us to notice the other occupants of the bay window,Who usually figured there at the time. In the year 1808The Misses Dyke also made their first appearance in theperformances.They by no means got a leading part, as Miss Smith,Miss Walstein, and Miss Locke were thsn the leadingactresses; but we mention them because of their'

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 85association with Moore, and because of their being so frequentlyobserved at the time, in the bay window at Rose-Inn-street.As is well known, Moore married Miss BessieDyke, thus linking his history with the period of theKilkenny Carnival.Previous to 1809 the prologues were generally writtenby Mr. Langrishe, Mr. Bush, and Mr. Atkinson, but Moorehaving come upon the scene, by request, he wrote theprologue.for this season. After alluding to the circle of thetheatre, and commenting on the loss which the society sustainedby the death of one of its members, he wrote :—EXTRACT FROM A PROLOGUE,Written and spoken by Mr. MOORE,At the opening of the Theatre, the 2nd of October, 1800.Forgive this gloom—forgive this joyless strain,Too dull to welcome pleasure's smiling train ;But, meeting thus, our hearts will part the lighter,A mist at dawn but makes the setting brighter ;Gay epilogue will shine, where prologue fails,As glow-worms keep the splendour for their tails.I know not why—but time, methinks, hath pastMore fleet than usual, since we parted last;It seems but like a dream of yester-night,Whose charm still hangs, with fond, delaying light,And, e'er the memory lose one glowing hueOf former joys, we come to kindle new.Thus ever may the flying moments haste,With trackless foot, along life's vulgar waste ;v.But deeply print, and lingeringly move,Whene'er they reach the sunny spots we love !Oh yes '. whatever is our gay career,Let this be still the solstice of the year,Where pleasure's sun, shall at its height remain,And slowly sink tow'rds level life again !

86 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE,Though Moore was not considered a " star" among theactors, yet his presence added very considerably tq theperformances, as he frequently sang some of the melodiesin the intervals. The Bard of Erin had neither a rich nora great voice ; but his rendering of the melodies was such asto enthral and delight an audience with the deepestsympathy; owing to the exquisite poetry of interpretationin which he enveloped the musical periods ; and the evidentimagery of metaphor through which he saw each idea;obscured to the multitude, except by the instinctive renderingby which it was thus so naturally and so beautifullychanted.^Says the Leinnier Journal, October, 1S09 :—" And now let us be permitted to digress from criticism,to that poet of the heart, who has done more by his poeticeffusions for the revival of our national spirit, than all thepolitical writers whom Ireland has seen for a century. Hismelancholy strains have got amongst the people, and the' Harp that hung in Tara's hall' now breathes through theland—Oh! Moore!" When time shall make the lasting brass decay,And eat the pyi-amid away ;Turning that monument wherein men trustTheir names, to what it keeps, poor dust,Then shall thy epitaph remain, and beNew graven in eternity."Next year we have Sir John Stephenson, the greatmusical composer, taking part in the performances, andthus, poet and musician were brought together at Kilkenny,a meeting which, we may feel sure, was the more felicitous,it being Sir John Stephenson who sent the melodies clownto us through his musical arrangement.

KGAN'S KILKKXNY GUIDE.S9The First " Farewell."—In 1810 the season closedunder the depressing influences of a sad farewell; and anevil foreboding pervaded the sad-stricken audience with thebelief, that the last of the performances had been bi-ought toa close.The Leinster Journal of 24th October, 1810, says of theperformance :—I" After the conclusion of the farce, a change of sceneensued; a scenic painting representing the statue ofShakespeare, on an elevated pedestal, appeared in the centreof the stage, round which was grouped the whole of thetheatrical company ; and, as they moved forward, a plaintivestrain was sung by them, taking leave of all the audience.It was commenced by "Mr. Moore, who was joined by theother vocal performers. We give a copy of the words :—'' Here, at the shrine we've loved so long,To-night we breathe our parting song iAnd while our hearts with sorrow swell,Wo bid our partial friends farewell.Farewell—farewell—farewell," We never witnessed a more impressive spectacle than whatthe stage and the whole house exhibited. Friends who hadfor ten years annually assembled, mutually pleasing, andpleased with each other, were now about to bid a long andsad adieu. Their grief was too great for utterance; buttheir silence and their tears showed the sincerity of theirsorrow. Alas ! shall we never see again these entertainments,refined by classic taste, and purified by charitablemotive 1 Must all end here 1"Addresses. —Addresses were presented by the charitablesocieties to " Richard Power, Esq., and the Gentlemen ofthe Kilkenny Theatre;" which, while indulging in theK

Other addresses were alsopresented ; hut though not from charitable societies, stillwere of such a nature as to stir up all the latent chivalryencased in the stony hearts which were about turning toforget the scenes, where they had shed such tender, stillendearing influences. We »ive below an appeal, " By aLady," presented at the time ;—•POETICALADDRESS.To THK GENTLEMEN' OF THE KILKENNY THEATRE,Upon the termination of their plays.ByA LADV.Inscribed to RICHARD POWER,Esq.To our friends, much admired, we, ladies in town,Beg leave to present this petition,And hope, both as lovers and men of renown,Vou'll pity our anxious condition.'Jo see your performance, three weeks have we beenWell pleas'd with yourselves and your acting ;For when you had done with the fanciful scene,At home you appeared as attracting.But rumour has said that you'll give up the stage,Which you have embellish'd so long—Where moral amusements delighted the age,'Midst all the enchantments of song.But Charity pleads in support of our cause,Which oft has been succoured by you ;And, while she bestows you her grateful applause,She bids you the drama pursue.Then, as you improve and amuse us so well,Continue your playful delights ;Xext season come here, in this way to excel,And give us some more happy nights.

Andnow the famous Miss O'Neill treads the classic stage ofthe Kilkenny Theatre, a prelude to her after glory. TheKilkenny Chronicle says:—" In the farce of 'The Citizen,'Miss O'Neill played Maria. • It was throughout a spirited,lively, and interesting piece of acting'." Thus, she who wasdestined to win a lasting place on the dramatic throne, waslet off with a few commonplace observations, her powersbeing at the time, perhaps to herself as well as the public,unknown.During the absence of Mr. Richard Power in Italy, noentertainment took place, and, from 1812 to 1817, thetheatre was closed. The season re-commenced on the 13thof October, 1817, and closed on the 25th. No wonder theprologue'should open with this stanza—" Welcome ! thriee welcome, soul-inspiring sight !We hail witli rapture this long wished for night.''A banquet in honour of Mr. Power's return was given atthe Hibernian Hotel, The Hibernian was then becomingknown as the Club House, in consequence of the HuntClub stopping there ; and the arrangements made for someof these " Attic Feasts" seem to have been on a mostelaborate and resplendent style, At the banquet given toMr, Power, immediately after his return from Italy, the

92 UGAN'S KILKENKY GUIDE.tables were adorned with some neatly executed paintingsof the honoured one, and the jellies, Mane manges, etc., wereemblazoned with Mr. Power's family arms, while the followingmotto, from Goldsmith's " Traveller," was that of theevening—" Where'er I go, whatever realms I see,My heart, untravellecl, fondly turns to thee."So great was the attachment of the dramatic devotees tothose seasons of enjoyment, that at the close of each, thefall of the curtain excited the orators as well as audiencewith fears that it should never rise again ; and as an indica-.cation of this feeling, an address to Mr. Power, at the closeof 1817 season, begins :—" The scene lias closed—the mimic toil is o'er;The curtain falls to rise, alas ! no more.".A Nice Prologue.—In 1818 the twelfth seasonope n;d with a prologue above the usual merit, by Mrs.Power, some of the stanzas of which we give :—EXTRACT FROM PROLOGUEWritten by Mr* PowtB and spoken by Mr, R, POWEK,2ist September, 1818,Oil, miieh-lbVecl Erin ! would thy sons, who roam.Exert their talents, not despise their homo ;Then might this isle, depressed and sunk in fame,With other nations proudly rank her name, •Uoes Erin want a bard, her name to raise,While Moore, fresh crowd with never-fading bays,Unrivalled, sings his own harmonious lays ?liioast we not Gratian's high unsullied namo,The truest patriot in the list of fame 'IWho, scorning party praise, and blame withstood,One glorious) object his—his country's good, .

Thedoubting farewells of the previous two seasons, now forsooth,were for the last time uttered.As if to light the dying embers of the fires which burnedin the breasts of the enthusiasts, a brilliant Kj>ht for a secondtime shed its lustre on the Kilkenny stage, and now howmuch more radiant) because of the greater fame which it hadacquired, than on the previous occasion. Miss O'Neill hadcome again to honour the company by playing with them,an event which was thus expressed in the prologue;—" But lo ! what bright star, wandering from her sphere,Whines on our orb, this parting hour to cheer ?The fair O'Neill dispels night's vapour dim ;' It is in the East ! and Juliet is the sun;'Arise, fair sun—and with auspicious ray)Hhcd thy kind lustre on our closing day).iSo may thy beams, by no dark clouds o'elVilst,Increase each year in splendour ne'er surpast. 1 '

94 EGANS KILKENNY GUIDE.Miss O'Neill played Juliet to Mr. E,. Power's Romeo, andshe also played the parts of Belvidere in " Venice Preserved."The local papers were loud in their acclamations of thisgifted lady, who had given up her regular engagements inLondon, to play amidst those scenes and voices where hertalents were first emboldened, to make a trial of thetheatrical world for fame and fortune :—MISSO'NEILL.(Extracts from the Leinster Journal and Kilkenny Moderator.)" This accomplished actress, ' the sweetest of the Muse'strain,' after an absence of seven years, the most interestingof her past, and perhaps of her future life, is to appear uponthe boards of our theatre on Wednesday next. She returnsto the land of her birth—' the laud which first cradled herfame.' She comes, beyond all question the first and mostsplendid luminary in the dramatic hemisphere, to throw alustre over the ' descending glories' of that spot where she.first shone in splendour on the public gaze." Come, with thy gentle attributes, and show,In passion's strongest shades of joy or woe,In jocund mirth, in sorrow's deep distress,Thy sweet variety of lovelhiessi" Every Irish heart will learn with exultation that thislovely and accomplished lady, at once an honour to thedrama, her country, and her sex, is as rich in generosity asin genius. She most positively refuses every remunerationfor her professional services to our city, This is her onlystipulation, and from it she will not depart. We areauthorized to state that Miss O'Neill has positively refusedto assist in any private theatricals in England, althoughsolicited by persons of the first distinction; and that, with a

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 1)5generous disregard of all personal convenience, and at avery great sacrifice of professional income, she has liberallymade her arrangements in the sister country subservient tothe interests of the Kilkenny Theatre."THE WINDOW SCENIC (ROMEO AM. JULIET)." No language can do justice to the overpowering energyof spirit which impelled this tide of desperate sorrows; andto describe the effect produced on the audience, when MissO'Neill uttered these lines, would be impossible. The powerof genius gave a character of sublimity to the distractedwildness of her look, and all her gestures were passionatelyaccordant to this excess of feeling."A beautiful steel engraving of Miss O'Neill, playing thepart of Juliet, may be seen at Mr. Walter Hanlon's ImperialHotel, which is the only copy we know of, in the neighbourhoodof Kilkenny. It represents the scene of the patheticspeech—" 0, Romeo, Romeo ; wherefore art thou Romeo?Deny thy father and refuse thy name,Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,And I'll no longer be a Capulet."During the period of the Kilkenny Theatre, Sir WilliamBeecher, of Cork, was numbered among the performers, andit was to that gentleman Miss O'Neill was married.The epilogue of the last season, in 1819, thus refers toher visit:—" Here fair O'Neill, with nature, feeling charmed,And even the wisest, and the coldest warmed ;And now, mature in honours, flings the light' Of setting radiance on our closing night."• The following noticfe of her death we take from one ofthe Cork papers :—"DEATH OF LADY BEECHER," We have to record the death, at a very advanced age,

96 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.of Lady Beecher, widow of the late Sir William Beecher,of Ballygibbin, in the county of Cork. She was the celebratedactress, Miss O'Neill, who, from 1814, for manysucceeding years held the highest position on the tragicstage. Miss O'Neill was of an ancient Irish descent, andher husband, Sir William Beecher, was the head of an oldIrish family. Miss O'Neill's first appearance [as a professional]was in Juliet, at Co vent Garden, so early as 1814.She adorned the stage, and both in her professional andprivate life, merited and obtained the highest respect andesteem. Her death, even at her advanced age, will bedeeply lamented by a very large circle of friends."

A view from the Comer Koador Altamount Hill discovers at a glance the ever variedcharacter of its buildings, its ancient oloiteaeh, or roundtower peering from its place amongst the elms, denoting bythe mystery which surrounds it, the indefinite past, the agesof primitive strife, of pre - historic antiquity; the oldcathedral at its side, another emblem of time unknownand unrecorded. And at the other end of the city standsthe ancient stronghold of the castle, modified throughsuccessive ages, and representing by its defendingtowers, its embattlenients, and fortifications, a state ofSociety when justice resigned its dominion to power; where

Every antiquated dwelling, with their old labelledwindows, peaked gables, and stone chimneys; every deviousturn of a street; the lofty columns of the municipalbuilding ; the mysterious history of some domestic mansion ;the doric mouldings of a decorated tomb; the manylegendary stories, from the building of its town wall,or rampart, to the bubbling of its holy wells; all bespeaka chain of eventful ages, giving subject for thethoughtful to reflect on, or for the lovers of art .andantiquity to admire and venerate.Nor should our estimate of the possession of suchremarkable antiquarian treasure stop short at sentiment, nomatter how high and ennobling. The unwritten history ofour country resides in the earthen rath, the ogham stone,or the cromlech; in the sculptured urn, the ancientbarbicon, and the monastic pile; and thus, while we treasureand preserve those crude and beauteous memorials of ourisland, we are in other forms preserving less perishablemanuscripts of her history, of the manners and customsof our people, and of their advancement in the artsand civilization during pie-historic periods. It is by aids

The existence of seven stone churches, anteriorto the English invasion, attests the early establishment of acivil community; and the pillar tower of St. Canice's,.which, in all probability, was built several centuries beforethe invasion, affords abundant proof that our ancestors were 'not ignorant of the art of raising buildings which may bewell nigh said to defy the ravages of strife, and resist theassaults of time to obliterate.THE KILKENNY CORPORATION.As we take a fugitive glance over the physical features ofthe city, and make some acquaintance with the generalsocial changes which have marked society since the foundationof Kilkenny ; it would be well to bear in mind the stepsthrough which Kilkenny, by statute, became a city. Perhapsthe expression should be, how Kilkenny became twotowns ; for, up to so late a period as forty years ago, therewere two separate local governments, one for IriBhtown, thebther for Kilkenny.The Irishtown has the real claim on the title Kilkenny,because that portion of the city was the veritable "CilLCainneach /" but the growth of the Hightown caused thename to be transferred thence, and finally to the whole. city. In fact, the term " Irishtown " is of more modernapplication than Kilkenny, as that name came to be appliedonly after the rise of the Englishtown.The older town then, was the Irishtown, which, being the

164 EtiAtfii KILKENNY GUIDE.natural growth of the original settlements in this island,cannot be traced to any special time of founding; itshistory being blended with the mists which hang overeven,ts unrecorded. There is, however, substantial reasonsfor asserting, that Irishtown was tirst incorporatedas such, under a charter granted to it by ISishop FelixO'Dullany, the founder of St. Canice's Cathedral.A seal of the Corporation of Irishtown, which has been discovered,sets this question beyond the region of controversy.This seal bears a rude representation of the west end of St.Canice's, as that view of the church appeared before thebuilding of the nave and aisles; and, from the severalaccompanying evidences, it must have been struck by UishopFelix when lie gave the lirst charter to CM Cainiwac/i,about the year 1190. The inscription on the seal proves a"world" of facts, and disproves another "world" offallacious arguments, respecting the antiquity of Kilkenny.It runs thus :—" Sigillum Commune Cioiuni KilkenniewiiuiuMedia Ossorie " (the Common Seal of the Citizens of Kilkennyof the See of Ossory).From that period up to 1843—that is, for six hundredand fifty-three years, the Irishtown maintained its autonomy,protecting its own government and ancient bye • laws,•with a jealous power and protection down to the presentage,HightoWn.—We have now to return to the Hightown,and recall the days of William Earl Marshal. The firstcharter, by which the Hightown, or the modern Kilkenny,Was incorporated as a town, is that which was granted byWilliam Marshal; Having married " Isabella," daughterpf Strongbow, and granddaughter of Diarmid MacMurrough,

mm*^>EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE, 105by the right of inheritance which he assumed through hiswife, as King of Leinster, he granted the charter.At different periods charters were also granted extendingthe powers and privileges of the burgesses; but, in 1609,James I. granted a charter rising Kilkenny to the position ofa city, and " County of the City." It was under this charterthe city was governed from 1609 to 1843, if we omit theshort period during which a special charter of James II.was in' operation, which was cancelled soon after by WilliamIII., in a letter written from his camp at Bennett's Bridge.In 1843 the present Municipal Act was passed, by which,on the 23rd October, 1843, the "old" Corporation wentout of office, the " new " Corporation coming in on the 25thNovember, 1843, coeval with the era of Catholic Emancipation.The election took place before Messrs.

The Governor of the Englishtown was inthe earlier periods called "Suvereign." The Corporationitself was called the Sovereign, Bitrgesses, and Commons, upto the time of James I., 1609 ; but from that till theMunicipal Act—1843—the title was " The Mayor andCitizens." Since 1843 to the present time, the Corporationlias had for its title " The Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses."The Corporate Property.—The property of theCorporation is derived principally from the property of theabbeys and monasteries, the dissolution of which took placein the reign of Henry VIII., and subsequently in the reign

SOAK'S KILKENNY QUIDS, 101of Oharles I. The total annual amount received by theCorporation, from rents and rentcharges alone, is £2,100, asum which, in a few years more, will be considerably increased;The preservation of this property, and the judicious disbursementof it upon civic improvements, is a subject of vastmoment to the citizens ; while it affords splendid security forthe borrowing of Government Funds, thereby placing theutmost facilities within the reach of the Corporation forthe projecting of such public works, as would well raiseKilkenny to the position of first inland city, in Ireland.Ancient Muniments.—The muniments of the KilkennyCorporation may be said to be invaluable, manyquestions of local history being only rendered intelligible bywhatever vague recoi'ds are to be found in them. As amedium of reference in cases of doubt or contingencyrespecting the corporate property, these records are of muchintrinsic value. They may be divided into two classes, theavailable and the missing records.The books of record belonging to the old Corporation arenine in number :—1, The Liber Primus : a vellum book, beginning in theyear 1230, ending 1538.: 2. Liber 2 : a thin paper book, beginning 1540, ending1572.3. The " White Booh," beginning 1656, ending 1687.4. The " Clasped Booh," beginning in the reign ofWilliam III., terminating 1717.There are five other books, which take up the proceedingsin 1717, and continue them to 1843;Some of the most valuable records are lost, owing, wesuppose, to the. laxity of the Corporation in allowing themto be lent out, and neglecting to see them returned.si

UGEGAN'S KIT-KENNT GUIDE.Amongst the missing records are the " Down Survey " of theliberties of the city, the " Black Bool;" " Cornell's Book,"which was a translation of all the charters, together withthe names of all the mayors, sheriffs, and other officers ;also the great " Bed Book,"It will he seen from the above dates that one of the mostvaluable records is missing—viz., that between 1572 and 1050—which must be l'egarded as the most historic period. The" Bed Book," if ever discovered, it is thought, will supplythe history of this eventful time. .The preservation of the records of the Corporation shouldbe one ^f the most cherished objects of that body, Nodoubt, a good deal has been done by the erection of the" safe " in the Tholsel, which contains the most valuable ofthe muniments ; but provision has yet to be made for thesafe keeping of numerous documents, some of great historicinterest, still in the possession of the Town Clerk ; as well asthe increasing records in the possession of the Treasurer.The Sword and Mace.—Here are two objects thepublic are pretty familiar with. Whenever the Corporationturn out in procession, or on any public occasion, they arepreceded by the sword and mace. These insignia, borneusually by two stalworth individuals, in official costnnie,look most imposing ; in fact, at the opening of the DublinExhibition of '82, whan all the corporate bodies were "onview;" the Kilkenny " turn out' : was hailed by the populaceas one of the most attractive.In the year 1072 a number of proposals were made bythe Common Council for the improvements of the markets,etc., etc. Amonjjst them is one—" That a city mace beprovided." The inscription on the mace recites that thisemblem of ofuci: was presented to the Corporation by the

BSAN'S KiLfcfiMW GMbfci:HiDuke of Ormonde, in 1677. It is of excellent workmanship,and the silver of which it is composed shows it as beingoriginally gilt.But the city sword is no mere ornamental article,the texture of the blade being evidently intendedfor use when required. The handle is, however, of silver,and the tracery shows it to be about the time of James I.—1609—when the great charter was granted to Kilkenny.The Chain.—This emblem, with its medallion, bearsout the truth of the familiar phrase, " All is not gold thatglitters," it being veritable brass, adorned with a wash ofthe superior metal. There is a prevailing opinion that the. chain was at one time gold, but owing to some unaccountablemetamorphises, passed into brass. This is not the.case. The article, just as it is, was presented by Mr.Joseph Greene, in 1824, the vear of his mayoralty, and, wemay add, it is the first official chain ever worn by theMayors of Kilkenny, as far as record will enlighten us OILthe subject.MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF KILKENNY1884.; John l'\ Sniithwick, J.P., M.P., Mayor.ST.

114 tfoAJt's KtUCHNXY UOtlM'lTHE PUBLIC PAIRS AND MARKETS.The Pair Green.—Before the opening of the Faii-Green, from the most remote periods, the fairs were held inthe streets of Kilkenny. In 1K.">9 the present Fair Greenwas established—Matthew Rowan, Mayor--upon whichmonthly fairs, as well as some of the old fairs, are nowheld.The monthly fairs take place on the second Wednesdayof each month, the pig fair being the Tuesday previous.The old fairs are held on the 28th March, 1st May, and 2'JthSeptember.Those fairs are now becoming the most important in theSouth of Ireland. The easy access for buyers to Kilkennyby rail, together with its central position, makes it one ofthe best markets for sale in the kingdom ; while the likecauses are calculated to facilitate the import of cattle, andfurnish large supplies to meet the requirements of buyers.The horse fairs of Kilkenny are growing each monthboth in the number and quality of the animals sent in; so that >ere long, by a little attention, the Kilkenny horse fair mustbe looked forward to as a matter of great public advantage aswell as convenience. In the question of keeping horses ofthe superior class, there is now a better taste prevailing thanhitherto; and, should this be still more cultivated, a newsource of income of considerable importance will be openedto both county and city.Corn and Butter Markets.—The com and buttermarkets were opened in 1862-3—Alexander Colles, Mayor—at an expenditure of £5,000, It has transpired this yearthat merchants who many years ago took Kilkenny butter,and long since ceased to buy it, have again returned topurchase it, owing to its b6ing so valuable a commodity inforeign markets, The Kilkenny butter—iirsts—eaiutot bu

—^^~KGAN'S .KILKENNY GUIDE. 115excelled for quality and flavour. The market is carried onunder a superintendent " taster;" but as producers may selltheir butter without submitting it to the qualifier, themarket is, in the broadest sense, strictly open. Anumber of the Waterford buyers and others attend themarkets; also a local buyer, Mr. M. J. Murphy, Newstreet.The corn markets are most extensive; and in theneighbourhood the local brewers are lar»e consumers.CITY IMPROVEMENTS.Since the election of the new Corporation very manypublic improvements in the city have been affected.In 1844—Edmund Smithwick, Mayor—the splendidgateway leading to the Canal Walk was by him presentedto the citizens.In 1845—"Dr. Robert Cane, as Mayor, presented the castellateddwelling at the entrance of the Canal to the citizens.In 1S48—Thomas Hart, Mayor—John-street, oppositeJohn's Church, was widened.In 1861—Thomas Power, Mayor—Bull Alley waswidened, which effected a much needed alteration in thatpart of the city, as before the change, two men could almostshake hands across the passage known as Bull Alley.During Mr. Power's Mayoralty the Canal Walk wasalso improved at the narrow point leading towards OrmondeMills.In 1864—Edmund Smithwick, Mayor—Watergate, atMr. Hughes', was widened.In 1883—John Hogan, Mayor—High-street was widenedat the Shambles.During the past forty years many notable worksof public benefit have been promoted by the Corporation,

Perhaps no other city in the kingdom affordssuch facilities for home trade as Kilkenny, its rapid riversweeping ever witli all the-velocity and volume which motivepower requires, winding through a fruitful district withineasy rail accommodation for transit to the neighbouringports, Numerous establishments in Kilkenny and. its

EGAN'S KILKENNY UU1DK 141vicinity still denote that the genius of industry has not yetaltogether departed from amongst us. We take them inthe alphabetical order of the manufactures and the proprietors,dealing principally with linns which turn out thelioine-tnauufactured article.THE BACON TRADE.This trade was about twenty years ago in a mostnourishing state in Kilkenny, and unlike some other sourcesof industry which have been lost to us, it still continues tobe well represented here in the enterprising firm ofP. O'Shea & Sons. Several thousands of pigs areslaughtered in the season, the killing, drying, and curingof which give large employment. The Kilkenny baconnow finds a ready London and foreign market in conijjetitionwith any other, and a growing trade for it may be readilyanticipated.THE BOTTLING STORES.In the .Bottling Stores, New-street (1). Smithwick ifc Co.),the porters and ales are bottled upon so large a scale asseldom may be seen in a town the size of Kilkenny. Thefirst idea strikes the visitor is the great number of boys—amounting sometimes to 1 .'JO all astir—all busy with thework before them, and all of whom come under the eye inthe long range of buildings, extending for 300 feet withouta break to obstruct the view. A small railway facilitatesthe transit of goods through the entire; length, and seemsquite in accordance with the speed and systematic bearingwith which the whole establishment'is worked..Four boys, by placing bottles upon siphons and pressingthem to force the water, wasli at the rate of 1^0 bottles perminute. The corking, etc., is similarly expeditious, as fourboys can fill, cork, and label four dozen per minute.

142 EGAN'S KILKENHY GUIDE.At the other end of the building is the mineral watermanufactory. The water is pumped into a slate cistern fromwhich it filters, and the gas generated is sent on to a pair ofsoda water machines of considerable capacity, where itunites with the filtered and prepared water.The Bottling Stores are heated by steam pipes, whichalways keep the ale in excellent condition, and the steamnot so utilized is made to do duty by boiling water forwashing and other purposes.The extent of the trade is ascertained by the fact thatfifty horses are continually on the road engaged in carrying.The trade has developed all over Leinster and Munster, andthe employment given must be a great boon to the poorhouseholds which have here scarcely any other means ofprocuring remunerative employment for children, who thusadd their own increment to the support of the family.T H E B R E W E R I E S .ST. FRANCIS' ABBEY BREWERY.The tourist who stands in admiring gaze before the ruinsof the quaint old Abbey of St. Francis, after being fullysatisfied with his visit of exploration, cannot do better todiversify his time than by calling in at St. Francis' AbbeyBrewery (E. Smithwick & Sons). One of the entrancesis close to the Abbey, and, as the visitor enters, thewhirring of the saw mills strikes on the ear. What astrange transition 1 The ground for many acres lias beenthe property of the Abbey, but our modern progress liasstepped in, and made inroads with the thunder and roll ofits ponderous machinery, upon the once all but silent precinctsof the edifice.Leaving the saw mills, where cooperage for the breweryis carried on extensively, the visitor will be shown to the

v'. .'.

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 143large and elegantly appointed offices, and thence to theseveral departments where, step by step, the brewing processis conducted.Four large malt houses in which the malting is carriedon, catch the eye, away from the more busy scenes of themanufacture. Those plain structures are of much importanceto the city, as the purchase of barley, for malting,opens up a local market for the farmer. The source ofmotive power is well catered to by a water wheel, twelvehorsepower ; and two steam-engines, fifty and thirty-horsepower.The different stages of the manufacture are most interesting.Two great keives holding 400 barrels of malt, fedby a giant of a hot-water tank, containing 600 barrelscommence operations ; and as they work, an attendant/ inthe form of a large archimedian screw, turns out the grainsFour copper vessels of a huge capacity, holding about 1,000barrels, receive the saccharine matter produced in the keivefrom a powerful force pump ; soon after which the liquidflows to the two patent refrigerators, where it coolsat the rate of one barrel per minute or sixty perhour.A large home and export trade is carried on, and the employmentgiven is most extensive. The ales are of superiorquality, and are considered equal to the best foreign articleproduced, the water upon which they are made being thesame crystal fount which supplies the famed and ancient wellof St. Francis. As, amongst the many other kindnesses whichthe visitor experiences, that of giving an opinion of them, bytesting, is sure not to be too far down upon the list ofattentions, we will leave the tourist to judge forhimself.

• •1-14 - b'UAN's KILKENNY UUIDK.JAMES'S-STREET BREWERY.As the tourist passes to see the new Cathedral of St.Mary's, en route, the James's-street Brewery lies in his way(James Sullivan, proprietor). It is unnecessary to predict acordial and hearty reception, as this will be very soon experienced.The brewery is double, there being really twobreweries, one on each side of the street, and a date offounding is claimed for it anterior to that of any otherbrewery in Ireland—viz., 1702. Both manufactories beingsomething of equal extent, we describe the division lyingsouth.The great keive, holding 150 barrels of malt, suppliestwo huge wort coppers, the cost of which, together withthose at the other side of the street, must be several hundredpounds. From those the liquor passes to the refrigerator,cooling at the rate of thirty barrels per hour. The capacityof the water tanks is so great as to require an experiencedperson to comprehend, there beeing 200 barrels in both.Three pumps, each performing different operations, workclose to the spring well, the motive power being taken fromtwo steam-engines—one 36-, the other 6-horse power—corresponding engines being at the north side. The ales andporters made are of excellent quality, and are well knownall over the south of Ireland.Perhaps the most interesting portion of the work is themineral water factory, where all the most modern appliancesare in operation, the slate filter, soda machine, etc., beingquite new, and of the best designs. Some good views of thecity may be obtained from the brewery at the northern side,and if the aid of a telescope be a desideratum it will bereadily supplied to the visitor.

Up to the year 1730, the marble quarries, by thetenure under which they were held, exemplified that formof tenancy, enacted by unwritten statute, in the book ofnature. The quarries were common property. Every manwho wanted a block helped himself to it as best he could,caring little how his neighbour who came after himsucceeded.' About the above date, the marble quarries came into thepossession of the Colles family, and have, for upwards of acentury and a-half, been worked by them with such abilityand energy as bring 'infinite credit to their character ascapitalists and employers.The quarries are situated about half a mile south of thecity, by the banks of the Nore. The marble is beautifully

KGAN'.S KILKENNY GUIDE. 149spotted, the impressions of the half moon, bivalve shells,and madrepore showing with artistic contrast through therich black sheen which the polishing produces.Upon the opposite bank of the river, about two milesdistant from the city, the marble mills are worked by greatwater power, and the process of roughing, sawing, polishing,along with the work of the sculptor, afford large andconstant employment. The finished work of the KilkennyMarble Mills (Richard Colics) has a ready market at home,and an increasing sale in other countries.MACHINE CONSTRUCTION AND IMPLE­MENT MANUFACTORY.Without a factory of this kind a district would feelitself heavily handicapped in carrying on manufacturingoperations of any kind. Should a machine get out of gear,a cog break, or a shaft snap, an end comes to the industryof several days if the means of repairing be not at hand.Were we compelled to wait till the injured article be returnedfrom Dublin, or some other centre, the business onhands might be seriously cooled in the interval.In extremities of this kind "Kilkenny is well provided forby the firm of Power ifc Son, High-street. Did the machinerysetting the breweries in motion need a helping hand, thelooms and mules of the woollen factories require repair ; didthe crane which lifts the marble from the quarry, or the wheelwhich sends the corn mill in its journey, run riot or fromany cause stop in their evolutions, an application to theabove firm is sure to bring speedy relief.The very machine which sends out the printed matter wewrite with sufficient expedition could only do so by havingthe chapter of accidents minimized, in the security to rectifybreaks and stoppages which is at hand.Q

150 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.The works, High Street, are large and extensive, andcomprise several departments, including the drawing andsketching offices ; the machine department, worked by largesteam-engines : the smithy department, the fitting department,the pattern loft, and the agricultural implementdepartment.All the most improved forms of sanitation are preparedand erected by the firm, whether belonging to a household,or the larger requirements of an institution or city ; and weare correct in saying that large contracts in counties outsideKilkenny have been taken in competition by Power & Son,such as the erection of a system of warming apparatus,dairying apparatus, cooking apparatus, and the laying downworks for the permanent supply of water at long distances,etc., etc.MILLING-CORN AND FLOUR.In the year 184-8 and subsequently, the corn and millingtrade of this country suffered much, owing to the introductionof free trade and foreign competition. In latter daysthere seems to be a considerable revival, and any new millsopened appear to be prospering. There are still manyof-theold corn and Hour mills on the Nore not in operation, thougha considerable number \ ursue an unbroken and a lucrativetrade.Kinchela, George, Green Vale.Loughry, John, Green's Bridge.Meredith, J., Lacken.O'Connell, Lane, Green's Bridge.Shearman, John, Green's Bridge.PRINTING.The printing trade has developed to a state of perfectionin Kilkenny not known in many cities of its size. Duringthe past few years all the latest improvements in machinery

ESAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.lolhave been introduced, so that printing in all its branchescan be done as well and cheaply as in the metropolis, thefacilities being exactly similar, while the expenses must belighter. There are about forty hands engaged altogether inthe printing trade of this city, the newspapers, of course,employing by far the greater portion.Printing was first introduced into Kilkenny, about twohundred and fifty years ago, by Flan MaoEgan, who previouslyresided in Tipperary. He was selected by the ConfederateAssembly to print their transactions, and is described as themost eminent scholar in Minister. The printing for the Confederationwas carried on in the house now occupied byMr. David Walsh, Cloth Hall.The journeymen printers of Kilkenny are all associatedwith the object of protecting their trade, the following beingthe; offices connected with the Typographical Association :—Egan, P. M., High IStreet.Lalor, M. \V\, Kilkenny Moderalvi;Maxwell, The Misses, Kilkenny ./oiiriui./.SADDLERY.Three firms turn out elegant workmanship in saddleryand give a fair amount of employment.Breiman, Brothers, Rose Inn-street.Jack, J., Patrick-street.Power & 8on, High-street.THE TANNERIES.J11 this department congratulation to the city is impossible,A time there was when four large tanneries were worked inthe city. The green sward now covers some of them ; othershave been modified into cattle sheds, etc., so that the tannerybusiness may well-nigh said to be almost obliterated.

152 fcGAN's KILkKSNV UtTlDH.The only remaining tannery in the city is that kept by-Alderman P. Murphy, the present High Sheriff, whoseextensive trade in corn, wool, etc., is so well and favourablyknown to the Kilkenny public. As belonging to one of ourleading capitalists, we trust the Thomas-street tannery willlong continue to represent the surviving vestige of oneof the principal trades formerly of so much importance toKilkenny.THE WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES.In the years '81, '82, and '83, the woollen trade ofIreland received a strong impetus, owing to the agitationgot up for the revival of home trade, promoted through theDublin and Cork Exhibitions.There are several woollen mills in Kilkenny makingdurable honest frieze. 1 , flannels, and tweeds, as well asspinning yarn.The Ormonde Woollen Factory (Mr. James tteade)affords a good example of what may be done by Kilkennyfirms in this way, The site of the Ormonde Factory asmills is a very old one indeed. The " castle" mills musthave stood there nearly seven hundred years ago ; for, inthe charter of William Marshall, granting the endowmentto John's Priory, about the year 1211, he says :—" I havealso granted . . . . the tithes of my mills, fisheries,orchards, and dove-cots in Kilkenny." This tithe amountsto 9*. 8M. per year, and is still payable by the representativeof Kenny Scott to the Corporation.About the year 1660, the manufacture of frieze was prettywell maintained in this factory, but a rival milj having beenestablished in Carrick injured it. Soon, however, the manufactureof blankets was substituted, which continued toilourish for many years.About the year 1750 there were seven hundred and

•jBGAN's K1LKENNV GUWK. 153eighty persons employed by the blanket manufacture aloneFour regular frieze fairs were held in Kilkenny during theyear, and the cloth came in from Carrick, from the Walshmountains, and from Cax-low.At that time " teasles " were grown outside the town wallfor cleaning the wool, the growers of which would be rathersurprised to see a modern factory worked without their aid.. A walk through the Ormonde Factory will repay thevisitor, the site being most appropriate, clasped betweenMother Nore and one of its branches.The factory is driven by four water wheels. Afterbeing washed, the wool is thrown into the heckler,where the impurities which it brings with it in growth arebeaten out. It is then oiled and passed through the teaserused for breaking it up, and soon it finds its way to thescribbler, when it is made into a woollen rope, which isdeposited neatly and exactly for the finishing carder. Thespinning is performed either by self-acting mules or handmules. Two persons work the self-acting mule, running -J00spindles; and three persons work each of the hand mules;running GOO spindles. The economy in the number ofhands required to work by these machines is so great as tobe almost incredible. Nineteen looms convert the threadinto cloth—either frieze, flannels, or tweeds—which is wellfinished and finds a ready buyer, though a great portion ofthe trade consists in elaborate spinning, by which most ofthe weavers of the south of Ireland are supplied.The following proprietors now represent the woollentrade, all of whom produce goods at moderate i'ates and ofthe most durable description :—Archbold, Stephen, Green's Bridge.Bibby, John, Green's Bridge.Comerford, Charles, Green's Bridge.Kealy, Miss, Irishtown.Reade, James, Ormonde Mills.

The success which has attended the noble objects ofthe originators has been of quite an unexpected growth,and the attractions which have been thereby, thrown roundthe subject of archaeology, have made that study one ofsurpassing interest for the citizens of Kilkenny.It may be said that the. Society was nursed by the VeryRev. James Graves and the late Mr. J. G. A. Prim. Sinceits formation numerous valuable relics of antiquity havefound their way to the museum, and appreciable as theymay appeal - , the information elicited respecting them is yetof infinitely greater value.Amongst the most remarkable of the antiquities we maymention an ancient crozier head ; church bells of an earlydate ; strange collection found in the raths of Dunbell : thebanner of green silk found in Rothe's house,' Wolfe's-arch ;bronze and stone weapons; ' ancient urns ; breech-loadingcannon, 2-10 years old, found at Talbot's Castle, near thetown wall; rubbings from English monumental brasses;remains of a lacustrian dwelling, found in one of the lakesof Fermanagh ; domestic articles, coins, rings, spear-heads,stone chalices, articles in bronze, skeletons of the Irishelk, etc., etc.The arrangement of this treasure-trove in a publicmuseum, open to tourists, should lie an object kept beforeall Kilkenny men.COUNTYINFIRMARY.Established 1780, by private subscriptions from thecounty of Kilkenny, the object of the institution being toaid the humbler classes in cases of disease requiring surgical

THE FIRST TOUR.ST. CANICE'S CATHEDRAL.HE tourist arriving in the " City of the Confederation,"anxious to take a hasty glance overthe treasures of antiquity, nestled here and thereso modestly, yet spread so lavishly, will do best by commencingat the northern end, the source of civil life, bythe banks of the Eoir or Nore. Seven centuries ago, St.Canice's Church and the immediate neighbourhood constitutedthe strength and centre of the ancient " GillGainneach." In 1172 the district had grown into importance.How long anterior to this time it was the seatof religion no one can exactly tell, history being ignorantof the fact, yet giving well-founded if scant mementoes ofthe great antiquity of the spot on which the cathedralstands.First Impressions.—The eminence upon which the cathedralrises imparts an air of dignity to the solemn grandeur ofthe edifice upon its first appearance. There is an air ofsombre greatness, of solemnity, and repose, which at oncetakes hold of the senses, and awakes to sublimity all thehitherto unsettled fancies, which soon tend to gravitatetowards the still and peaceful magnitude of the beautiesbefore them. The stretch of the cathedral's graceful lengthfrom east to west, the chaste unity of style which pervadesits architecture, the varied lines of structure, consisting ofits several chapels, transepts, and arched doorways, combinedwith the mysterious influence by which they are shadowedfrom the ancient and lofty pillar tower, all serve to create

209an awe and to inspire a reverence for triumphs of architecturewhich have so well outlived the corroding influenceof ages.The exterior view of the building prepares the mind forthe contemplation of the modest splendour which awaitsthe visitor in the interior, where the beauty of art appearsthroughout a design of surpassing greatness. The symmetryin its graceful columns, in its dimensions, height, and spaciousconfiguration, combined with the view of the several chapels,aisles, and transepts, present almost at a glance a picturewhich fills the mind with profound admiration, impartingan idea of sacred splendour which truly captivatesthe beholder. The scene is, no doubt, heightenedby the dizzy lights which come through the high, narrowwindows, as if fearful of intrusion, and seeming to revealwith hesitation the sacred treasures of the temple, whilelending their aid to give lustre to the luxuriance of reposewhich abounds within it.Passing from one monument to another, let us wanderabout and think. There seems a world of thoughtbefore us, as if a panoramic view of the gloomyages was about being entered upon, and Old Timehimself had, for once, become liberal in unveiling somemystic lore. Here is the tomb of a Norman baron. Hisdescendants and retainers thought, after the manner of theirtime, that no description could suffice to represent his braveryand his virtues; hence they hit upon the simple yet amplemethod of perpetuating his memory, by giving us a life-likefigure of the man himself in black marble. An effectivestyle of fulfilling the object it certainly was. He wears hiscoat of mail or hauberk, his sword and buckler, with helmet;'his feet rests on a lion, thus strangely bringing the emblemsof war and strife to the portals of peace and eternity. Soon

210 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.we come to the effigial tomb of a bishop. The crozier inhis hand indicates the extent of his sway, the mitre androbes his sacred mission.Passing on:-—In an age when the feudal lords thought fitto commemorate the cruel strategies by which they retainedtheir possessions, it is a wholesome exception to find carvedon a tradesman's tomb the emblems of his trade, as in thecase of Richard Clonan, the shoemaker. What a pity thatthis honest man should be falsely referred to as themurderer of Bishop Walshe.Here in the south aisle, near the transept, is a plain altartomb (Bishop Nicholas Walsh), around which the lovers oftragedy are wont to dwell. Tradition accounts for his deathby telling us that the Bishop cited James Dullard, a broguemaker,into his court for crime. Dullard pursued him tohis house and stabbed him, after which he fled to Troy'sWood to seek refuge anions a band of- robbers. Thebanditti, on hearing of the crime, tried Dullard by summarycourt-martial, found him guilty, twisted a gad, and hunghim from a tree in the wood.Another class of monument may be seen in the northtransept, where the " colours" borne in battle hang ingloomy pageantry over the white marble which relates thedeeds of the glorified dust deposited beneath.Wandering listlessly about in the dreary quietness of theaisles, what strange monument is this we meet. It is trulyone of mystery. No inscription tells the person whowanted so costly a memento, nor gives a clue to the memoryof the dear one to whom this effigial tomb was erected.We see, however, the coy maiden of the sixteenth centuryis hereby honoured, her position in life being represented bythe supertunic confined round the waist with a plain girdle,and by her hooded mantle. What a singular yet complete

ECAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 211eccentricity fate and time have here adopted, to representthis modest maiden, by erecting a tomb to her memory andleaving no word or token to tell us the story of her virtues ;yea, not even her name is to be rescued from centuries ofshadow and oblivion.In the south choir aisle, alone and secluded, whatmonument is this at which we raise our heads, so as to looktowards its highest pinnacle, and which bears the figures ofSt. Kieran and St. Canice? That of a bishop. Who is he ?The great bishop, David Rothe, he who first organized theConfederation of Kilkenny, and met the Papal NuncioEinuccini when he arrived to bring succour to the confederateCatholics, amidst the cheers of a warlike multitude,and an armed soldiery.And what elaborate mural monument of marbleis this in the south aisle next the porch, which is sointimately associated with Bishop Rothe's. The cenotaphor empty tomb of the Viscount Mountgarret (RichardButler), President of the Supreme Council of the ConfederateCatholics, and General of their forces. Thenobleman erected the monument with the intention ofhaving the date of his death and burial filled in the blankspace so designed, but fortune arranged it differently ; hisbones lie in Galway, where he died bearing the flag ofreligious freedom. And, so, two hundred years have passedaway leaving the inscription still, and mayhap for ever, anunfinished record.Bishop Rothe, it is averred, though in the citywhen the Crowellian soldiery broke in, escaped theirfury, but the place and exact date of his death are alikeuncertain. Here is a unity of incident both in the biographyand ultimate destiny of two of the leading personages whosehistories are identified with the Cathedral, which seems

212 fiGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.striking and remarkable. The monuments were erected toboth during their lives ; the bones of neither found a restingplace in the chapel or aisle where they ambitioned for alltime to repose. Yes—a different disposition was their lot.A mocking soldiery, profane and plunderous, the barbarousfollowers of Cromwell, having defiled and obliteratedalmost all that was sacred or elegant which they laid handsupon, succeeded for a time in frustrating all the gloriousobjects of freedom which the Irish Catholics had then sowarmly espoused.But all is now wrapped in the silent conciliation ofeternal decay. The pall of peaceful oblivion is drawn overan era of surging passions and gross misdeeds. Here atleast in those shadowy aisles severed from social strifecommuning between the limits of the past and futureworlds, we have a cessation of history - making indicatedall around, an unbroken repose spreads over manygreat personages, some oE whom mayhap have beenpitted as the direst foes, now all absorded in the commonforgetfulness of the never-ending sleep of the tomb.The Architecture.—It is not alone in grey walls that timehas here left the attractive marks of his visitation. Thedifferent styles of architecture, where they remainas originally placed, or again modified or mixed,seem brought together' as if by the hand of chance, yetspecially intended by some unseen agency to indicate thedifferent periods of their construction, so as to enable us tocount time by the particular style to which each belongs. Atone point wehave the Anglo-Norman style, the characteristicsof which are round-headed windows, not pointed, with finebroad masonry between the lights of the windows; atanother, the windows appear as if the arches of oneperiod were put over jambs a century earlier in style, and so

EGAtf's KILKENNY GUIDE. 213on. Thus, not only is distant antiquity apparent, but thedifferent epochs which the building stormed through arewell marked, so as to

214 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.made in latter days. In fact, some of the stones of previouschurches are used in the lower portion of the present church,one notably which the visitor will find near the RoundTower, a little to the west, just peeping over the ground.This is a stone having a human countenance sculpturedupon it, but, strange to say, the masons when building it inthe wall, inverted the countenance.Owing to civil distractions, Bishop Felix O'Dullany -(Delany) transferred the See from ifghaboe to Kilkennysometime before 1192, and since this date Kilkenny has beenthe seat of the Cathedral of the diocese. •Founders.—In 1192 Bishop Felix O'Dullany founded theCathedral. True it is thatno direct documentary evidence canbeadducedastothe exact date, but historical corftemporaniousfacts attest the founder and the probable date almost to acertainty. At that period the custom in architectureappears to have been, that while the founders planned thecomplete structure, they usually contented themselves withbuilding a portion, leaving time and prosperity to work outtheir design. So it was with St. Canice's.Bishop O'Dullany built the chancel, transepts, and centraltower; a facsimile of the western end, thus formed, beingfound on a seal of the old Corporation, regarded as the most ,ancient corporate seal of the city, and which was probablystruck upon the granting of a charter to Irishtown byBishop Felix. The architecture of the cathedral markswith exactness the different styles of architecture prevalentduring the period of its building.Thus the Norman style, which prevailed from 1066 to1190, in which narrow windows and semi-circular archedheads were the style, may be seen in the six windows, threenorth and three south of the chancel, proving thereby theantiquity of this portion of the building.

EGAN'S KILKENNY GOIDE. 215In 1260 Bishop St. Le.er succeeded to the see, ard tohim the credit of completing the cathedral must be accorded,he having built the nave, aisles, and porch; hence he is calledthe second founder. The windows in this portion bear theevidence of being a century later than those in the choir,as they belong to the Early English style, indicated by theirpointed arches, which style prevailed from 1190 to 1272.In 1332 the central tower fell, '• breaking down the sidechapels, and involving the roofing and the bells in the ruin,so that it was a horrid and pitiful spectacle to thebeholders." This catastrophe explains fully why thewindows of the transepts, originally built by O'Dullany, inthe Norman or semi-circular style, are now in the EarlyEnglish or pointed, the windows having been restored byBishop de Ledrede, after the falling of the tower, in 1332.This bishop »vas the only Franciscan among the bishops ofthe see, and the tomb in the choir, bearing the effigy of abishop, having no. name inscribed upon it, is proved to be hismonument.The visitor will observe his order by the sandalscovering the naked feet, and the Cord of St. Franciscoming from under the alb. It was he who erected thebeautiful and historical eastern window, which the Pope'sNuncio, Rinuccini, so prized on his visit to the city, duringthe confederate wars, that he offered £700 for it to thethen bishop, David Rothe. This window had depicted uponit all the leading events recorded in the Gospel, and was soprized by Bishop Rothe that gold, offered even.by so distinguisheda personage, could not tempt him to part with itHow soon after it was to be made dust of by the Cromwelliansthey little anticipated. Cromwell's troopers are saidto have stabled their horses in the church, and BishopWilliams relates that " they left it roofless, took away fivez

He employed JohnO'Phelan to arrange the monuments, which had been pilednp in the north choir aisle, and to copy their inscriptions,wlii :!i were afterwards published by Dr. Peter Shee. Themonuments were re-arranged, in 1869, by the Rev*. JamesGraves and the late John G-. A. Prim, inscriptions of whichwe give for the tourist. Thus, briefly reviewing the historyof St. Canice's, it may be observed we omitted any mentionof its round tower.The only fact worthy of recording as to the later discoverieson this subject refers to the interesting excavationsmade in 18-17, when human skeletons were found below thefoundation of tlie tower, thus proving that, when or bywhom the tower may have been built, a cemetery existedthere before that time; and, from the position of theremains, having the feet turned to the east, it was concludedthey were those of Christians, proving the tower to havebeen built within Christian periods. The date of its erectionis generally assigned as occurring between the sixthand the ninth centuries. To desca'nt upon the old subjectof the probable origin of our round towers would be hereonly adding pedantry to mystery. It would appear that themibts of pre-historic ages must for ever envelope those strangesun-dials, which graduate time neither by the fall of kings,nor the overthrow of empires, but by the lapse of unbrokencenturies through which they have become an interestingenigma.We now renew the pi-incipal objects in the interior of theCathedral, which are marked onour sketch of theground plan.

Looking down,what wall is this which bounds it, colossal in its demensions,both as to height and steepness 1 This is the " Wall " ofthe Irishtown, referred to in our sketch of the " TownWall."The Vicar's Choral.—The visitor may now turn to theeastern end of the churchyard, and glancing over the boundarywall here, some old mullioned windows appear underneathat the other side of the road. This is said to beoriginajly the Episcopal Palace, but afterwards became the

The " Vicar's Choral" consistedof a number of clergymen attached to the cathedral,somewhat as supernumeraries, who filled the office of the higherdignitaries when they were unavoidably absent. This eccle"siastical body afterwards lived -in the splendid mansion inVicar-street, which stands opposite the Common Hall, andis now modernised into a grocery and provision store.Cornice's Steps.—The twenty-seven steps which the visitorascended form part of the interesting addenda of the cathedral!The inscription in the archway at the head of thesteps assert that they were built in 1614. In the year 1883the feat of driving a horse and side car clown the steps wasaccomplished, the driver sitting in his place all the time. Thestrangest feature of the event was, that the man was unconsciousin his safety, and had wandered with his car from thedirection of the Butts Cross. Under such circumstances itwill be, of course, exjDected that he got off safely, and we areglad to record his happy-go-lucky success.The Precentor'a Manse.—As the visitor ascends the stepsthe gable of a house on the left hand becomes conspicuousThese small effigies inserted in it were probably panels oftombs, which were lately found in the restoration and builtin, but the tablet bearing the inscription is of the time ofEdward VI. (15-17), the words being " Edward, by the Craceof God, King of England, France, and Ireland." This oldbuilding'is described by some of the antiquarians as havingbeen " ruined in the wars," but it now bears a very commo_dious appearance, it being fitted up for the person who keepsthe keys of the Cathedral. Originally it was a plan of greatimportance, it being the house of the Precentor, who wasone of the ecclesiastical dignitaries of the Cathedral next inposition to the Dean, and who sat next the Dean in the

230 KGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.t choir of the church during religious ceremonies. At thattime the rites of the Cathedral were carried out with befittingsplendour, and a number of dignitaries lived on thegrounds of the Cathedral ready at any moment to officiate.The Archdeacon's Manse.—The house to the right at thetop of the steps as the visitor ascends is that formerly occupiedby the Archdeacon, who kept the register and seal.The Palace.—Walking round towards the large buildingnorth of the Cathedral, we come to the Palace, in which theLord Bishop resides. The visitor will remember the effigialtomb of a bishop in the'chancel of the church within; knownas that of Bishop de Ledrede, the Fransiscan Bishop, by therobe and sandals. It was Bishop de Ledrede who foundedthe Palace in 1360, as is now this day attested by the beautifulgroined arches of the basement story, the style of oldmansions in that period. Legend says, the Bishop havingtaken down three ancient churches, which were no doubtthen in ruins, lie built the episcopal residence from the materials,and dedicated it to the three saints under whosepatronage the old churches were founded. It was then andsince styled " Nova Curia," or New Court.The Colonnade.—Passing from the Palace to the Library,we tread along the passage commonly called the Colonade.It is so named from a covered passage erected in 1760 byBishop Pococke, which w.u supported on Doric columns.It reached from the north door of the Cathedral to thePalace.The Library.—This building saw many modificationsOriginally the town wall, which the visitor saw in thechurchyard, ran to this corner, and a castle stood to defendit called the Black Castle. It was then, or in some timeafter the original building was erected, occupied by a prebendaryof the Cathedral, there being ten such dignitaries,

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 231who assisted in officiating, but who really belonged to semeparishes in the neighbourhood. The building was afterwardsused as a school; finally, in 16'J3, Bishop Otway built thepresent Library, but. part of the old castle may yet be seenembodied within it.BULL INN.After again descending Canice's Steps, turning to the leftacross Canice's Place, a delapidated old ruin appears almosthid in the corner. This was the Bull Inn. Here many away-worn traveller was regaled by such beverage as thehostess could provide in her day. Many a night of revelryechoed by the silent wayside. Mayhap, as the silver bellsof St. Canice sprinkled the air with soft music, that firstwarning of the dawn awaked the hostelry to prepare forthose deeds of speedy travelling which brought so muchfame, and in that age led up to much more gossip, than asix-and-a-half days' Atlantic "swim" would at present. Thei' Bull" gave the name of Bull Alley to the connecting streetwhish name it retained till the year, 1883, and the " Bull"born the insignia of its own name sculptured in relief in thebovine figure which still appears on its mural signboard.THE BUTTS GREEN.Two minutes' walk covers the distance through Church,lane from Canice's Library to the " Butts Green." This opensquare, eight hundred years ago was the middle of " CillCainneach," and the surest way we can give an idea of itsearly importance is to give a quotation from the " Annals ofthe Four Masters," in which this spot is undoubtedlyallu led to :—" Gillaphadraig(Fitzpatrick), the grandson of Donnchadh(Dunphy) Lord of Osraighe, was killed by the O'Braeniansin the middle of Cill Cainnigh, 1146."

232 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.This plateau was called the Butts, from the practice inarchery which was carried on here when butts of timberwere stuck in the ground to be fired at.We now perceive the original Cill Cainneachmentioned in the Synod of Bathbreasil, held in 1110which has been referred to in the " Annals of the FourMasters," and which plateau we may contemplateas one of the earliest scenes where Christianity wasfirst expounded to our pagan forefathers.KENNY'S WELL.What a halo of importance must have hung round thisever-flowing spring seven centuries ago. The clangour ofpump-handle was then unheard, the bubling of the silverspring being the music soft which told of crystal' aquatictreasures. Kilkenny had so many holy wells that one mightwell say of it with Addison in his praise of the fountains of" Albana"—'' Not Lacedoemon charms me moreThan high Albana's airy walls,Resounding with her waterfalls."Should the visitor have sufficient time, three minutes' walkfrom the Butts Green brings him to this interesting fountainat the bottom of Croker's Hill, to view which, in the13th century, vast numbers of pilgrims visited this spot,hallowed because dedicated to that famous preacher of theGospel in the district, St. Canice. An old charter existswhich grants to the Black Abbey " A conduit of water fromour fountain, St. Canice's, so that their canal shall be of thecircumference of our ring." This grant of the conduit or pipefrom the well was considered so important a gift to theBlack Abbey, that it was granted under charter by BishopGeoffrey de Turville, Bishop of Ossory ; but, at an after date,the whole field in which the spring rises was granted by thethen owner, Adam de Leye, to the order of preachers theDominicans, or to the Black Abbey.

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 233THE BLACK ABBEY.Most of the places around this district are named afterthe Black Abbey, as Black Mill, also Black Mill-streetwhich we pass up on our way to the Black Abbey, and whichbuilding itself, we need not say, takes its name from theblack habit worn by the Dominicans. Like all similarbuildings, the Abbey was ori finally very extensive, andreached from thegrounds upon which stands the present ButtsChapel on the north, to St. Mary's Cathedral on the south.It was founded for the Dominican Order of Preachers in1225, by William Earl Mareschal, junior, son to the noblemanwho founded Kilkenny Castle and St. John's Priory.In the years 1281, 1302, 130G, and 1346, the Dominicansheld General Chapters here, which gives some indication ofits importance in those ages.But the day of desecration came, and in the generaldestruction of religious houses the Abbey becameportion of the spoil. An unpublished roll in theCustom House says that " under a commission bearingdate 3rd February, 1539 (Henry VIII.) the gold and silverplate, jewels, ornaments, lead, bells, etc., of various abbeyswere sold for the benefit of the king, and those of the Dominicansof Kilkenny brought a sum of £57 17s. 5d." It seemshighly probable that but for the use made afterwards ofthe Abbey as a County Courthouse, and sometimes as aTown Hall, the porlion of the old ruin left would be considerablysmaller than we now see it. It appears by theLiber Primus of the Kilkenny Corporation that the Sovereign(Mayor) of the city was usually sworn in at the BlackAbbey before its confiscation took place. The lands of theAbbey having, passed in the reign of Henry VIII. to the- sovereign ,and burgesses of Kilkenny, it went by lease to the•1 M

234 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.Tynte family, Dunlavin, Co. Wicklow, to whom rent is stillpaid.Resturatiun*.— The first clergyman who attempted to restoreit for religious purposes was a Dominican from Cork,the Rev. John Meade, he having got possession in 1775, ata rent of £4 per annum, from Mr. John Daly, who held bylease from the Tynte family. At this time the choir orchancel was still standing, and occupied the ground uponwhich the present dwelling house of the Abbey is situated.It extended a few yards out into the street beyond the gateway,now the entrance to the dwellinghouse, and theeastern window is said to have been very large, though noti|uite equal in beauty and magnificence to the splendid windowwhich still occupies the gable of the south transept.The south transept, that portion from the tower southwardto the great window, was then in a fair state of preservation,except the roof, which have fallen in. The north transept wascompletely demolished, but both towers, and the pillars andarches of the nave have escaped the ravages of destruction.Father Meade in 1776 threw down the ruins of the choirwhere the high altar stood, and built the present Abbey,house. Father Shaw, who succeeded him in 1779, roofed inthe south transept, which has been the only portion availableas a Chapel up to 1865. Father Shaw also took downa portion of the small tower and built with the materials theaisle of the transept. But though the transept had beenthus roofed in, by a strange fatality it remained so for thirty,four years—the new roof on, the old roof covering the floorwith its debris—till Father Prendergast set about completingwhat we may call the first restoration, and succeeded inre-opening the church for divine service in 1813.It was not till 1804 the second restoration was accomplished,under the energetic labours of the late Father

EGAS'S KlLKENKIr GUfDE. 235Connolly, who restored the nave now used as the principalpart of the church.The Present Building.—We may here notice that thesecond restoration would be sadly defective had the chief ornamentof the church, the high altar, not been so generouslyand appropriately bequeathed. An entablature within thesanctuary meetly relates the names of the beneficient donors,John Hudson, of this city, and Anastatia his wife, who, wemay add, have thus nobly aided in resuscitating the oldensplendours of this beauteous edifice.The original building, it will be observed, was cruciform,and the choir chancel, as has been said, occupied the site ofpresent dwellinghouse. There now remains the south transeptwith its gracefully pointed windows in elaborate traceryan ornament of the prevailing architecture of the EarlyEnglish style ; the nave, the latest part restored, still retainiug the arches under which many a lengthened procession ofthe large Dominican community, often numbering livehundred, chaunted the Adette ; the central tower, still in goodpreservation, with its grey graduated parapet and aspiringturrets ; all uniting to express the early piety of one age, theruthless destructiveness of another, and' the resurgent lifeby which the religious fervour of a third has sprung'from thedebris of decay a church so splendid in its secluded beauty.The following inscriptiqn, on the base of one of the pillars inthe Convent sacristy, attest the date of the building of thetower as well as the munificence of the donors:—" Pray for the good estate of James Sliortall, Lord of Ballylarkiiiand Ballykeeffe, and his wife Johanna White, who paid for theauilding of this tower, from the date of its founding to its eoinplehoii."The tombs of both may be seen in St. Canice's Cathedral.Its Surroundings.—The visitor entering the grounds willobserve the row of tombs to the left. These have a curious

236 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.history.There are altogether fourteen. In the first restoration,'five stone coffins were met beneath the floor, but onlyone was removed outside, the water rushing so fast upon theworkmen that they had to abandon the'search.In the year1851 four of the most important were found beneath thefloors of the houses running along the west side of Friar'sstreet,a hole having been accidentally made in the floor ofone of the houses.The others have from time to time beenraised from the neighbouring ruins. The following are thoseseen in the enclosure of the yard :—. (1.) A large coffin-shaped slab bearing an incised foliated cross,over which is sculptured the head of a knight in high relief. Thistomb was discovered about the year 1837, by a man digging in thegarden of the Abbey. No inscription.(2.) A stone^offin.(3.) Floriated cross in relief. No inscription.(4.) A stone coffin.(5.) Floriated cross, bearing an inscription in Norman-French, andin the Lombardic character, as follows—" Master Robert de Sardalouelies here. God have mercy on his soul."He was one of the Canons of the Cathedral of St. Canico.(b\) Stone coffin.(7.) Floriated cross in relief, having the following inscription—" David the Merchant lies here. God have mercy on his soul.Amen."This tomb was found in the year 1864 at the west end ofthe Abbey, when removing the yard wall of a small house..(8.) Stone coffin, adorned by Gothic niches and quarterfoils,This was the coffin which was taken from the interior of theChurch at the first restoration, in 1813.(9.) Incised cross, bearing an inscription in Lombardic characters :"Here lies Walter Clnag."This tomb was discovered in the famine year, 1846, bylabourers, when running a sewer through Friar's-street, andonly a few yards distant from where the four tombs wereraised from beneath the floors of the houses.

Effigial tomb of a female.(14.) Cross in relief.There are three other tombs spoken of, but now morethrough tradition than otherwise. The effigial tomb of thefounder, William Earl Marshal, jun., is said to lie underthe floor of the parlour at present occupied by the Domini,can Fathers, and the founder is said to have been buriedthere in 1231. There is a tradition also extant, whichspeaks of " the tomb of the Knight killed on the Curragh,"thereby pointing to that of Richard, brother of WilliamEarl Marshal, who was slain on the Curragh, and who, itis said, lies beside,his brother. Hannier, in his Chronicle,relates " that there remains in the Abbey no monumentsave, one wherein the Cantwel's amies are inscribed." Thismonument upon which he says " the picture of a Knight wasportraied" cannot now be discovered, and is very probablyburied somewhere ivithin the precints of the Abbey.The small figure of alabaster which occupies the high nichein the transept, is usually pointed out as one of the curiositiesof the place. The Church being dedicated to the HolyTrinity, this figure is a most expressive emblem of theAbbey's early history. It bears date 12G4, and is emblamaticof the Holy Trinity by the unity of the large figure, thefigure of the Crucifixion, and that of the Dove in one body.The smaller tower which the visitor enters is not withoutinterest Tt was built two centuries later than the originalbuilding, and in the stone stairways numerous portions of

238 KGAN's KILKENNY (i\jU>&.tombs may be seen. On the top there is an enclosed spacewhich was formerly covered by a roof, and was known asCromwell's Bed. Why the Abbey was by law, said to be inthe County, and used as the County Court, may be easily explainedto the visitor by standing at the gateway and lookingdown Lee's-lane. The old town wall is there propped bybuttments, and about twenty yards distant from the gatethe turret which formed the end of the town wall may b'jseen, thus leaving the Abbjy without the city.Relics of the Abbey Library are still pointed out in abeautifully cable-moulded mullioned window over theBregach, now lighting one of Mr. James Sullivan's stables,and further up to Dean-street may be soon the great stonechimney of the kitchen belonging to the Abbey.One of the strangest items in the history of the Abbey isconnected with its bells. At present a bell which formerlybelonged to the Convent rings the hours in thamarkethouse of Dunlavin, Co. Wicklow. It bears the inscription" Eat Cunoentus S. Dominici, Kilkenice. Anno. 1647.'This must have gone there through the Tynte family whogot possession of. the Abbey, and who had property in Wicklow.. Another piece of vandalism is said to have been perpetratedwith reference to the windows of the Choir, themullions, and frame work of the most beautiful one beingcarriedto Wicklow aid s">t up in a church there.1'raclitivns.—Of the traditions concerning the Abbey, theyare numerous. Usually associated with a place of the kindthe imaginative portion of the community are wont to ponderover untold treasures hid away in cavernous passages,where jealous spectres, of course, stand on guard to protectthem.A man named Price, havin•; heard from his infancy ofthese cases, became one of the aspirants for exploration.

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 239He dreamt of golden store, and having been so happy, he, ofcourse, easily found the coveted doorway to the vaults. ] i edescended into semi-darkness, at last came to a gate, behindwhich the gleaming wealth was visible. A man with a canein his hand advanced, and quietly asked Price his errand,whereupon the latter asked for a small portion of the goldwhich he saw. The spectre, if so he might be called, touchedPrice on the shoulder with a cane, saying •' you have goldenough for a month," so leaving, Price made his exit, butdied within the appointed month predicted. This story,absurd as it appears, is told as fact.There is a very old tradition of much more interest whichis not now repeated so frequently as in olden days, thoughit has always been received as an undoubted truth. Duringthe days of persecution a number of ecclesiastics of distinctiontook refuge in the secret chambers of the Friary. A -woman named Thornton daily supplied them with milk, butbetrayed the secret to the Oromwellian soldiery, by spillingthe milk on the flags which led to their concealment. It is,however, averred that the clergy were concealed in the cavesat Thornback, where there was a Dominican novitiate, andnot at the Black Abbey.Before partingwith this attractive subject, we would fainrefer to the great scope still existing in this venerable pilefor the wise and beneficient consideration of those who, withm.'ans at their disposal, make the restoration of our churchesthe object of their munificeuce. The adornment of the southwindow of the Black Abbey with stained glass will be awork calculated to send through all time the name of thedonor in honoured remembrance. This work of ornamentationhas been well begun by Mr. Michael Brophy,T.C., of this city.

240 - EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.^ LEE'S LANE.Oil our way to. Francis Abbey, pissing down L^e's-laue,we may observe the old town wall, propp3d with the buttresses,and we see the arch where a tower formerly stood, indefence of the angle here made by the wall, which towerspanned the laue, the wall being continued across thegardens to the river Bregach. Should the ' visitor enter thegardens of the houses to the left, the walls of both Irishand English town present a strange and interesting ap.pearance at this point, as they come down at either side ofthe river to the water's brink, both skirting the banks tothe Watergate, the rapid Bregach strengthening the fortificationsby its rugged torrent.• WATERGATE.This is the division between the two towns, where a gateformerly stood, and here the mutual jealousies between therival corporations may be said to culminate, no official ordignitary being allowed to exercise his prerogatives outsidehis own town beyond this limit. The point where the gatestood may be easily seen, and the continuation of the wallon its way to the river Nore is quite visible, for a peep intoa nailor's shop shows him plying his trade actually on an ex"cavation which he has made in the wall, upon- which fortificationhe deftly hammers, troubling himself little about theobjects for which the walls were built four centuries ago.ST. FRANCIS' ABBEY.This Abbey was founded by Richard Marshal, Earl ofPembroke, son of William Marshal, A.D. 1234. Aboutthis period numerous Fransciscan Monasteries were founded

242 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.elaborate, yet strange to say, none remain, as if the bed ofthe river was doomed to be their last resting place. Onemural slab may alone be seen. It is built into one of thewalls of the brewery buildings, and is neatly lettered.In 1558 the Abbey and grounds were wrested from theFriars, and vested in the Corporation and Burgesses ofKilkenny.The Fransoisoans again returned to Kilkenny in 1612,but the Abbey had so much fallen into ruin that it couldnot be again availed of.Friar Glynn.—Amongst the Franciscan community ofKilkenny the name of one of the friars comes clown to uswith honourable mention as an annalist. This is FriarJohn Clynn, who lived on the spot which we are now describing,and during a period most eventful in the history ofour city ; so that if our knowledge of Francis' Abbey itselfis more meagre than we would desire, yet, by a coincidenceit has, through one of its friars, given us otherwise mostvaluable historical information.We may imagine our annalist walking in the extensivegrounds of the abbey at the back of King-street. He tipshis brother friar by his side, and bids him look at yonderdwelling close by. He then raises a finger of admonitionand warning, and becomes pale as he refers to the inmateswithin. This is Kyteler's Inn (King-street), which hestands aghast before, for the famous trial of the Kilkennywitch, Dame Alice Kyteler, was in full blaze in his time.And turning home, we may feci assured that his eyes restedon the round tower of St. Canice's, and were raised inprayer for the victorious consummation of the trial onbehalf his brother, Franciscan Bishop, Bishop de Ledrede,who had instituted the proceedings against the abominablepractices of the witch and her associates. We may follow

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 243our' annalist in imagination on the morning of St. Lucy,1335, when he wended his way m the solemn and imposingprocession which passed from the Cathedral to the spotnear the present Tholsel, where the Market Cross waserected. Or, again, how often we may contemplate did hevisit the holy shrine on the hill of St. Canice and view withdelight and admiration the renowned artistic stained-glasswindows which De Ledrede had introduced there. Indeedhe himself tells us singular facts of his time, which he musthave witnessed. In 1338 the Nore was playing one ofthose wild tricks which was so often its wont in early ages,and John Clynn writes of the flood—" Such as was not seenfor forty years before. Of the whole monastery of FriarsMinovs only the. high altar and the steps of the altar remaineduncovered and untouched by the flood."The lot of describing the cause of bis own death fell toFriar Clynn, as, at the time of his death in 1318, a terribleand destructive plague fell upon Ireland, which raged withvirulence at Kilkenny. As an example of the terror whichit created here, eight of the friars in the Black Abbey wereswept away by it in a few months. Clynn also fell a victimto that rapacious visitor, and he leaves us a record of hisdeath as well as of his ambition as an annalist in the followinglines :—" Lestjtlie writing should perish with the writer, and the [work' fail with^the workman, I leave behind me parchment for continuingit, if any man should have the good fortune to survive this calamity,or any one of the race of Adam should escape this pestilence, tocontinue what I have begun."Some spots in the locality of St. Francis Abbey, areamong the most interesting of the many similar ones in ourcity,and may be easily reached by applying to the pioprietorof the grounds, Mr. J. Morrissey, Irishtown. Here wehave a piece of the town wall, in good repair, which is one of

2iiEGAN's KILKENNY GUlDti.the most historic portions of the old fortifications. Aboutone hundred yards north of the Abbey lies the spot whereOliver Cromwell made the breach, and at which he was sogallantly repulsed by the party of horse which alighted andwere led by Sir Walter Butler. The town wall here skirtsthe junction of the Bregach with the Nore, and at the anglewhere they unite stands the tower for defending theapproach of an enemy from the river. About twenty yardswest from the tower the wall has been rebuilt, and themasonery indicates the repairs evidently made since thebreach was effected.It would be quite impossible that such an antiquated_ tower as this, called Evans's Turret, could riseover the limpid wave of the Nore for 400 years, and remainstill surrounded only by the haze which spreads overits small nautical history, and its now inglorious decay. Ofcourse there is a story about it. A member of the family of•Evans is said to have lived here as a recleuse, there being awrit against his body for debt. The fitness of the oldfortification for a dwelling under the trying circumstances,seems at once a happy feature of the story. Evans, however,died in the turret, and to avo.d the unbending rigours of thelaw, his body was carried in a boat across the river andburied in St. John's Abbey.THE BUTTS CHAPEL.Of the modern churches in Kilkenny, the parochial buildingof St. Oanice ranks among the first. The doorway showselaborate mouldings, and the high altar of different colouredmarbles, erected by the Very Rev. Dean M'Donald, P.P., D.D.,is a splendid work of art. It is on the, route between Kenny'sWell and the Black Abbey, or within a few minutes walkof St. Francis' Abbey.

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 245THE OLD MANSIONS IN THE STREETS.Rothe's.—Coming up from St. Francis' Abbey through theBrewery avenue, right .opposite as we enter High-street, astrange memento of old domestic architecture exist. This oldmansion is the house of the Rothe family, their .arms beingprominent on the front, with the following inscription :—1594—" The arms of John Rothe, son of John FitzPiers."This house was occupied by Edward Rothe, brother tothe Roman Catholic Bishop, the Most Rev. David Rothe,who ruled the see during the Confederation. The angulargables and stone chimneys of the building is a perfectspecimen of the street architecture from 1550 to 1600, manyexamples of which we possess in Kilkenny. In the interiorthe first court-yard is immediately entered through one ofthe arched ways, where a quaint style ofpedimented roof fora well is still in fair preservation. It bears an inscription,which recites that John Rothe, and Rose Archer, his wife,built the well-roof, 1604. The second court-yard is enteredthrough a smaller arch, but possesses no objects of interest.Though built in 1594 the oak floors and partitions are in aperfect state of preservation to the present day. In 1849a beautiful religious banner of green silk was found behindthe oak pannelling, which in all probability was carried inthe grand procession before the Papal Nuncio, Rinuccini.The banner may be seen at the Archaeological SocietyRooms.Langtons.—The next house of this class which we meet aswe pass up High-street is that portion of Mr. Wall's nearestthe Tholsel. This was the Langton house, before which the" Cross of Kilkenny" was erected in the market-place. Thearchway passing down to King-street foimecl [ crtion of thehouse, and indeed it has been proved that a very convenient

246 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.arrangement was adopted by the great merchants of Kilkennythree centuries ago by having a regular arcade orcovered way on the ground floor entered by several arches.The Rotlie house in Parliament-street also possessed thosearcades. In the back of Mr. Wall's the stone bearing thename and date is built in. The inscription runs thus :—" The insignia of Nicholas Langton, Alderman of the City ofKilkenny, who built this house 1609.""Archer's.—The Archer House is the next in a direct line,and is now occupied by Mrs. Shearman. It bears, like othersimilar buildings, the name, and arms of the founder, whobuilt it in 1582.Shee's.—Perhaps the neatest specimen of this architectureis the large house opposite Walkin-street, now occupied byMr. John Meany. This was the Shee mansion, as denoted bythe inscription on the armorial-plate in the front wall."Henry Shee, of Kilkeni, Gentleman, and Frances Crisp,his wife's amies."Of this house we give a lithographic representation, whichdoes not show the late improvements made by Mr. Meany,and for this reason shows better the original design. At theperiod the drawing was made (1849) one of the large ornamentalchimneys had been taken down, but much of theoriginal wainscoting remained. It was the head of theShee family, Sir Richard, who founded and endowed thehospital which still stands in Rose-inn-street.This hospital, which has one gable facing Rose-inn-street,and the other Mary's Lane, retains the arms of the founderon both gables. The inscription on the front relates Sir .Richard Shee to be the, founder ; that on the rere runs asfollows:—Insignia of Richard. Shee, Kilkenny, and- Margaret Sherlock,Uit wife, who Jounded the house 1:582.

EGAN'S KILKENNY OUIDE. 247In the latter part of the sixteenth century Kilkenny mustpresent a picturesque appearance, sufficient to entitle it tothe cognomen of the/aire citie, from the size and elegance ofits principal mansions, rendered still more picturesque fromtheir isolated position, and the numerous orchards for whichKilkenny was remarkable, by which they were surrounded.Kyteler's. —The oldest house in the city is Kyteler's Inn, thatnext the market in King-street, outside the door of which isthe flight of stone steps. This is a house said to be as old asthe episcopal palace, built in the early part of the. fourteenthcentury, and is known as the building in which therenowned Kilkenny witch, Dame Alice Kyteler, lived,whose history we have briefly noticed in our opening chapters.Descending into the arched cellar s of the house, itspeculiar antique character renders it to the mind's eye afitting abode for the practices of witchcraft then practised.At the back of this building is St. Kieran's well, mentionedin the charter of Bishop de Rous six hundred yearsago, and beside the well may yet be seen the window of St.Kieran's chapel, now built up with masonry. The bubblingspring comes through an aperture in an old font supposed tobe used as a baptismal font in Kieran's Church. Aroundthis area of humble memorials of antiquity, without oughtof surpassing magnitude to invite the tastes of the beholder,the passing tourist may not feel disposed to lend his admirationwith readiness to the scenery ; but the association ofthe place, 'were it only in name, with the great founder ofthe see of Ossory, St. Ciaran, ought surely procure for thespot a place in the memory of every lover of antiquity.HIGH-STREET AND PARLIAMENT-STREET.At the entrance to James's-street the visitor will observeby a slab in the wall that the street at this point has been

248 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.lately widened. The necessity for here opening Highstreetwas caused by the original founders of the cityclosing up this end, with the design of having a fortifiedgate to protect the entrance. It appears singular that thestreet should be narrowed he^e for defensive purposes, andalso that Parliament-street should be similarly constructedso as to narrow towards Watergate. But this is explainable.In the time of Bishop Hugh de Rous (1202) liegranted the land from Cottrell's Bridge, which may be seenat the rere of Bull Inn, to Sb. Kieran's Wall, at the rere ofKyteler's Inn, for which the Earl was to pay four ouncesof gold annually. Thus Parliament-street was built afterHigh-street had been founded, and the same design of protectionfrom the enemy carried out in both.Parliament-street has been also widened at the Watergateend, it being even still narrower there before the improvement,than High-street had been at the Shambles.ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL.In the New Cathedral of Osssory the tourist to Kilkennywill find one of the most elegant and highly-finished piecesof Gothic architecture which it may be his lot to look uponin any country. The magnitude and splendour of theinterior design, as shown in the lofty arches supporting thetower, and the artistic execution by which they arewrought, is calculated, even at the first appearance, toinspire the beholder with a sublime awe and reverence in adegree at once absorbing and transcendant. And theinterior of ' the building, with its great tower, massivechancel, and elaborately-moulded doorways presents anarchitectural picture of such vastness in its entirety, andextensive manipulation in details, that to walk round it

KGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDK 249and examine its splendid proportions becomes a pleasureboth inspiriting and intellectual.The site of the cathedral is the most commanding: in thecity, as is proved by the stately prominence in which itappears when viewed from any of the suburban eminencesIt was founded on Sunday, the 20th August. 1843, bythe Most Rev. Dr. Kinsella, and was consecrated by theMost Rev. Dr. Walsh on Sunday, the 4th October, 1857the work being completed at a cost of £30,000, raised byvoluntary subscription.The great bell, dedicated to St. Ciaran, and hence calledSt. Oiaran's Bell, was first placed in a wooden structure onthe 18th December, 1869, but was on Thursday, 21stNovember, 1872, placed in its present position in the tower.It weighs 32 cwt., its deep sonorous tone is highly tunefuland pleasing, and from its full diapson there swells a mightyand pervading music that spreads over all the neighbouringscenes sacred to St. Ciaran and St. Kenny. Within thechapel the great organ is one of the objects which will interestthe visitor, and the statue of the Virgin, with jcherdonations to the church are worthy of attention as votiveofferings which set such commendable examples.The shrine, St. Joseph's Altai', contains the relics of St.Victoria, one of the early Roman Christian martyrs, whoshed her blood for those virtues consecrated through timeand eternity.THE THOLSEL.Very many cities have " Tholsels." few, perhaps, so prettya building as Kilkenny. The word is derived from theAnglo-Saxon Thole, meaning to wait awhile, and sell, to givefor a price, that is the place where people wait or staywhile selling.2D

250 KGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.I he Tholsel was formerly used as a markethouse, and thesquare now opposite the Post Office formed an auxiliary toit. Now-a-days people wait or stay in the Tholsel forother objects than for selling goods. It is now frequentlyconverted into a political arena, in which i|Uestious rangingfrom the settlement of affairs in Cochiu China to Peru, arefreely debated.The first or " Old Tholsel" of Kilkenny occupied the siteof the present Victoria Hotel. An hospital stood on thespace now occupied by the present Ormonde House (Mr.Hogan's) called the Ormonde Poor House, and the Gaolran from thence to the corner of the lane at Mr. HenryDunphy's. The New Tholsel was founded about the year1575, and occupied portion of the site upon which the presentTholsel is built, but it was in the year 1761 the structurewhich we now see so prominent in High-street was erectedOriginally the Mayor held his court in the place at presentoccupied as a police office. In 1829 the portion of thebuilding occupied by the caretaker was built during themayoralty of Nathaniel Alcock, as is denoted by a slabin the wall in Mary's lane, but at present the Mayor holdshis court iu the smaller room on the upper floor.A visit to the large room of the Tholsel will be of interestto the tourist. Here is a beautifully executed marble bustof John Banim, author of ''Tales by the O'Hara Family."It is a work of art by the celebrated sculptor, John Hogan.An oil painting of his brother, Michael Banim, who mayla)' just claim to much of the merit due to their literarylabours, hangs in the room, and is considered a good likeness.The two pendant lustres were presented by Dr. Cane,in 1815, and it was he who also presented to the citizensthe castellated gatehouse at the entrance to the Canal Walk.AjD, old chair in the Tholsel bears an inscription showing it

MARY'S CHURCH.Adjacent to Hi^h-street, this Church, by its small andslender spire, is a conspicuous object. It is of a veryancient date, and next to St. Canice's is probably the mostancient in the city. The present structure affords scantidea of the old church existing here, which has beenthoroughly changed and modernised. The exact date of itsfounding is not known, but it must have been in existenceas a church in 1202. William Earl Mareschal came toKilkenny in 1191, Hugh de Rous was the first EnglishBishop (1202), and in the " Deeds of Exchange" of propertybetween them, St. Mary's Church is mentioned. Themonuments in the yard and Church are of considerableinterest.Entering the churchyard in front of the building let ustake a hasty glance through the tombs, noticing the mostprominent of them.1.

KIERAN'S COLLEGE.It is sometimes considered a grievance among the loversof the beautiful in architecture that our diocesan collegeshould be bounded by a high wall, which grimly shuts oft'from the view, the splendid designs and classic proportionsof St. Kieran's. The visitor, however, may gain easyaccess to the building, which affords a sumptuous example ofGothic architecture, the taste and symmetry of which it isnot-an exaggeration to say exhibit a scenic feast to thetourist. Perhaps the most appropriate history which maybe written of this seat of learning, which many eminentmen, even in our own time, claim as their Alma Mater, isthe history of the early educational establishments of ourcity, which, owing to the limits prescribed by this littlebook, we review briefly.

BGAN's KlLKESUV GUIDE. 253Like others of our public institutions, it is almost impossibleto trace the earliest foundation of a college in Kilkenny,though it is an authenticated fact that in the middleof the sixteenth century a college of considerable importanceexisted here, the founding of which is attributed to PierceEarl of Ormonde. This building was situated at the westend of St. Canice's Cathedral, and the celebrated historian)Stanihurst, has graphically pourtrayed the ability withwhich it was conducted by one of its first masters, FatherPeter White. Many of the leading public men and men oflearning of the period sprung from this institution, asPeter Lombard, Archbishop of Armagh; Richard Stanihurst,Luke Wadding, the well-known Franciscan annalist; FatherArcher, the famous Jesuit, and the arand old Bishop of theConfederation, the illustrious David Rothe. Of the collegein the penal times, of course we have no record, though acollege privately existed. This vacuity in the chain of facts,brings us, however, rather pleasantly to the epoch offreedom, when we feel it a happy pastime to trace in outlinethe history of an institution, the name of which is so familiar,viz., Burrell's Hall.Burrell's Hall.—It is quite a. frequent occurrence to hearelderly gentlemen of the present day, when indulging in a"little biographical dialogue about their fellows at school,say-=-" I 'id I know him 1 To be sure I did ; he was educatedat Burrell's Hall with me." Burrell's Hall was oneof the most ancient seminaries in this country, and datesits establishment so far back as 1782, by Dr. Troy, Bishopof Ossory. When the penal laws became somewhat relaxeda religious toleration dawned, partly through the iniluenceof the declaration of American independence, and the actionof the Volunteers of '82, connected with the agitation ofthe time.

254 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE." Burrell's Hall was situated where the present RomanCatholic Cathedral stauds at the top of J ames's-street. Itwas so called because it was first built as a residence by afamily named Burrell, who settled here in the seventeenthcentury; but the portion used as a school was originallybuilt as a wine-store, and as an addition to the residence byBurrell Rutledge. In 1783 Rev. John Dunne and Rev.James Lanigan were con-rectors of Burrell's Hall, and bothwere afterwards Bishops of Ossory. In 1789, when Dr.Lanigan became bishop, Burrell's Hall ceased to hold tinpositionof the diocesan college, though from the time ofof its first establishment till its final demolition, it continuedwith few intermissions to be used as a lay school preparatoryto the Diocesan, St. Kierau's College. In 1839 the laystudents were transferred to St. Kierau's College, and in1843 the days of Burrell's Hall were numbered. The oldhall where most of the Catholic families of Kilkenny sawthe light of liberty dawn upon their youthful countenances,was levelled to clear the ground, and the new cathedralwas founded on the spot so hallowed by pleasant memoriesThe Old Academy, tit. Ganice's—Dr. Lanigan opened theSt. Cauice's Academy, first as a day school, in 1789, and in1793 it was elevated to the rank of Diocesan EcclesiasticalCollege, owing to the breaking up of the Irish EcclesiasticalColleges on the Continent, which was one of the results ofthe French Revolution. The academy was established onthe site of the present Ljretto Convent, and may boast ofturning out some remarkable pupils, amongst them beingFather Matthew.Maudlin-st i-eel, or Birch field. Academy. —-In 1811 DrMarum founded a serniniary in Maudlin-strest, upon thesite of the present old ruins, situated at the left hand cornerof the entrance from Maudlin-street to St. John's Chapeb

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 25,5which was foimarly occupied as a reside;.ce by the clergy of\ .t. John's. This academy became such a success, thatlodgings had to be chartered throughout the city for thestudents who came from all part.-; of the country. Owing tothe inconvenience ai ising from the lodging of students1 hrough the town, Birchfield House farm was bought forthe ecclesiastical students, who were sent there in 1814. Forthis reason the Maudlin-street Seminary has been frequentlydesignated Birchfield College, up to the year 1830.iSV. Kieran's College.—St. Kieran's was founded in 1830,by Father Shearman, in the absence of Dr. Kinsella. Theeccle-iiastical students were brought in from Birchfield toSt. Kieran's in 1838, and the lay students in 1839 ; theRight Rev. Dr. Kinsella being the first President. Thefollowing are the Presidents since his time, with the date oftheir appointment:—Very Rev. Edward Nolan 183!).Right Rev. Dr. Kinsella (second Professor) 1S43.Very Rev. Daniel Brennan ... ... 1847.Very Rev. E. M'Donald 1S58.Very Rev. N. Murphy 1873.Very Rev. P. Murphy.The new wing of the College was founded by theMost Rev. Dr. Moran, in 1874. Thus by the shifting of theseminaries from Bunnell's Hall to the old St. Canice'sAcademy, from thence to Maudlin-street and to Birchfield,and finally to St. Kieran's, may lie traced the growth anddevelopment of Educational pro: ress in Kilkenny.In 1874, the present Archbishop of Sydney, his Gracethe Most Rev. Dr. Moran, founded the EcclesiasticalArchaeological Society of Ossory, and in connection withthis society may be seen many valuable and interestingobjects of antiquity in the College.Glorious as has been the past history of St. Kieran's we

256 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.may, with confidence, anticipate, that the institution is yetonly in the infancy of its triumph, and that through it thefoundation of a sound high-class education has been laid forthe sons of the ancient See of Ossory.KILKENNY CASTLE.A city without a castle is generally regarded by the tourittas a place of chimney pots and smoke, or of houses assuminga name to which it has no " title." The'antiquarian fromone point of view, and the lover of the tragic from another,each expects when visiting a city, a treat, either in thecastle's varied architecture, posed on some scenic eminence,or in the hobgoblin mystery of valiant or historic deedswith which it is enveloped. There are few castles in thekingdom more beautifully situated than Kilkenny CastleThe site seems a regal one, as it has been in reality, forbefore Strongbow's invasion of Ossory, or before the " Fleetof the Fleming's'' landed, the Kings of Ossory ruled hereover Ossory's plains from their old castellum.The Castle rises upon an eminence at a considerable altitude,one hundred feet above the Nore, and from John'sBridge presents one of the most picturesque and nobleobjects of varied yet antiquated architecture, embellished byrural attractions, which it may be the lot of the tourist tobehold. Its ivied round towers of ancient structure,possessing the outline of a Norman fortress, the breastworkat the east side lowering over the winding footway u nderneath and below the dimpled Nore, softly meandering,constitute a subject worthy the pencil of a royal artist.When the moon sheds the light of'her mellowed rays acrossthis spot, and the busy bat wings the thick shadows of theCastle, the view from the bridge is one which enchains thespectator, as he views the gilded wave in which the dark

. \ ~KGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 257towers of the Castle are reflected, or surveys the southernsky cut by the bastions and gallery.In the year 1169 the " Fleet of th-rFlemiu ;'.s came fromEngland in the army of MacMurro^h," as stated in the" Annals of the Four Masters.'' The inference is that theyoccupied the old fortress of the Kings of Ossory.Upon the an-ival of Strongbow the Flemings garrisonedthe fortress for him ; but after the defeat of the Normans atthe battle of Thurles in 1174, the Flemings fled to Waterford.This victory was gained by Roderic O'Connor ofConnaught, and Donald O'Brian of Limerick, and the latterknowing that Kilkenny was made one of the strongholds ofthe enemy, advanced in 1175, stormed and burned the cityand completely levelled the fortress. The Normans, however,soon returned. As we have stated in another pageEva, daughter of Dermid M'Murrogh, was married toStrongbow on his arrival in Waterford. Isabella, Strongbow'sdaughter, was married- in 1189 to William EarlMareshal, an English nobleman who came to Kilkenny twoyears after in 1191, and in 1192 founded the present KilkennyCastle. It was he who also founded and endowedJohn's Abbey for the relief of the poor, and granted it tothe monks of St. John, the charter of which recites—" Mywill is is that the aforesaid brethern shall serve in my Castleof Kilkenny" William Earl Marshal had five sons who alldied, leaving no descendant in the male line, consequentlythe Castle passed as a marriage portion with one of hisdaughters to Gilbert de Clare, sixth Earl of < lare, and alsoEarl ofGloucester and Herford. In 1334: the castle againpassed as a marriage portion with Eleanor de Clare, sisterof Gilbert, sixth Earl de Clare, to her husband, Hugh Lede Spencer,In 1391 the castle of Kilkenny and its dependencies were2 E

258 ROAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.bought from Hugh Le de Spencer by James, third Earl ofOrmonde, in whose descendants the property has remainedvested to the present day. The Duke of Ormonde beingViceroy at the time, King Richard spent a fortnight at theCastle, from whence he departed to suppress the disturbancesin England, which led to his imprisonment and death.But after this revolution the castle ceased to be a fortress,and was completely remodelled in the castellated stylethen prevailing in France and Holland, where the Duke ofOrmonde went into exile with Charles II., and cultivated ataste for the new style of architecture. The building remainedso till 1826, when Mr. William Robertson, a Kilkennyarchitect, altered it to its present design. Thearchitecture may be said to beloni; to the castellated Tudorstyle, and presents, even with its varying features, ahighly dignified and princely aspect. The small tower inthe north-west angle is said to have been the oldest, and tobe the portion built by Strongbow, the only proof being theinferiority of the masonry ; but it is very questionablewhether Donald O'Brian, who burned the city after Strongbow,left any traces of the towers remaining.Tourists will find the picture-gallery, which is almost atall times easily accessible, a rare treat, the numerous portraits,from many of the great masters, which decorate itswalls, ranking among the foremost works of art. Thegallery is'o'ie hundred and twenty feet long and thirty feetwide, and includes a series of portraits, which in themselvesillustrate most of the stirring events of the seventeenth andeighteenth century.The tapestry, which is supposed to have been been broughtfrom the Continent by the second Duke of Ormonde, isworthy of Observation, the subject being an allegorical representationof the four elements, and some groups typi-

{MAN'S KILKESSY Guibis. 259;•fying the most striking passages in the story of Decius, theKoman General.Perhaps the rarest treasures of antiquity in the castle areare the muniments in the evidence chamber, which includenumerous priceless MSS., and historical references. Someidea of the quantity of the MSS. may be formed from thefact that Mr. Garter, who wrote the history of the firstDuke of Ormonde, had to employ three cars iu removingto Dublin such us he wanted.This view from the castle grounds comprehends manyscenes varied by all the living attributes which nature sendsto make up a vivid landscape. The distant hills, the verdantplains extending to them, the wooded slopes, the castled moatin the distance, the ancient city, the hedges, mills, and mill-, wiers, the silver river wending ribbon-like through them, allcombine to make up a picture which those splendid worlisof art in the picture-gallery fail even to rival, in the life,and change, and natural elements of beauty which arerealized around them.ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE.The best view of this building is to be had from theGanal walk under the Castle. The spacious lawn in frontwith a plentiful supply of tine trees, imparts an air of healthfulnessof site and beauty of construction to the spaciousbuilding, which shows well across the river through thefoliage in the foreground. St. John's College was originallyfounded as a Grammar School, but owing to its growingimportance for many years, it is now usually called St.John's College.It was founded in lf!84- by the I >uke of Ormonde, whogranted it an extensive range of buildings in St. John'stown, and otherwise munificently endowed it. Ledwich

260 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.«says—" The Duke of Ormonde granted a new charter to thecollege in Kilkeny of a certain house in John-street, withthe adjacent part for a schoolhouse." What this certainhouse was, or who was the occupant, he does not say. Atpresent, by observing the wall at each side of the passageinto the college from John-street, the stone caps of thearchways seem as belonging to one of the old houses of thecity which evidently stood here, and in breaking the gatewaythrough, those remained at both sides. During the reignof James II., when the penal laws had been temporarily relaxed,the college was opened underthepatronageof Dr. JamesPhelan, the Roman Catholic Bishop, who became its President.The change was, however, but of short duration, asupon the dethronement of King James the building revertedto its former patrons.The original terms of the founding gave to the Duke ofOrmonde the privilege of nominating the master, but in 1715this right reverted to Trinity College.The present buildin

EGAN's KILKENNY UUIDK. 261connected with its founding, throws many a ray of light uponthe ^loom in which the early history of our city is enveloped.To begin at the beginning—The first Priory of St. John,for foreign monks was founded by Bishop Felix O'Dullany,and the portion of the building in existence at his deathconsisted in some dwellinghouses for the monks near St-Maul's Church. The date of the founding is not known,but in all probability must have occurred before WilliamEarl Marshal came to Kilkenny. The Priory or Abbey, o ras it is also called Hospital of St. John, was founded byWilliam Earl Marshal in 1211, and the charter of endowmentis one of the earliest and most valuable documents•which we possess in illustration of the topography of our. city. The lands granted for the site of the Abbey extendedon the east, from the small turret in Maudlin-street to the. lane running between Michael's-lane and the little river, thewestern boundary being the little river.The Abbey had two gates called St. John's Gates, one atthe entrance near the little river, the other crossing thestreet between Maudlin-street and Michael's-lane, which wasthe outer John's Gate. There was also St. Michael's Gateleading into Michael's-lane. These gates gave their names tothe streets as presently known. Upper John-street was notthen in existence, and the triangle from the Hospitalnearly to St. John's School, bounded bythe Dublin - road on one side and Michael'slaneand Maudlin-street on the other, also belongedto the Priory, as well as other properties mentionedin the Charter. This space included the " Barns" of WilliamMarshal attached to the Castle. An old chapel called theMagdalen Chapel must have existed near the site of thepresent St. John's Chapel, which gave its name to the gateat the corner of the old castle in j\!amllin-stre( t, ihc spotbeing called " Magdallen's Gate,"

2G2EGAN's KIlKfiNNlT GUIfofl.The style of architecture of St. John's Abbey was peculiar,so much so, that only one other building in these countri'Shas been compared to it, viz. the Abbey Church of Bath calledthe " Lantern of England." For like reasons our St. John'swas called the " Lantern of Ireland," owing to the exquisitelightness and airiness of the design. For a space of fifty-fourfeet on the south side of the Lady's Chapel, the buildingconsisted of a series of tall, slender mullioned windowsreplicated in quick succession, so that when viewed at ashort distance they showed as one great continuous window.The eastern window at present standing, and seen fromMichael's-lane, affords a fair idea of what the architecture ofthe Abbey must have been, and proves that it was mouldedhi extensive proportions, calculat(d to withstand the rustand mutations of decay.On the 19th March, 1539, being the 31st of Henry VILT. ;Reubon Cantwell beiii'j; the last Prior, the Church propertywas confiscated and granted to the Corporation of Kilkenny.The grant consisted of one hundred and two acres of landand forty gardens ; a' water mill in Magdallen-street, a woodcalled Channons grove, and two hundred acres of land adjoining; with ten messuages (hotlses), and two hundredacres in Drakeland to hold the same for ever in mortmain.The present building, used as a church, was built by Mr.Robertson, architect, Kilkenny, in 1800, and occupies thesite of the Lady Chapel of the Priory.The ancient monuments are scant, the only one ofimportance being the tomb of the Purcells, bearing theeffigy of a husband and wife, the former showing a coat ofmail.The Purcells were Normans who came with Strougbow,one of them, the first lieutenant, being killed by theWaterfordians. There were five families in the County

Did you take a walk down the Canal, to-day 1" This isthe query usually put to tourists by Kilkenny folk, whendilating upon the beauties of their city. They are quiteconfident that having exerted all your faculties in art for theadmiration of their antiquities, still as a finisher, the Canalis a sine qua non. We are inclined to think with them. TheKilkenny Canal is one of the first walks in the kingdom-Within two minutes' step from the leading thoroughfarethe tourist has simply to turn in to regale his scenic tastesupon picturesque beauties free and natural, as they are unboundand unencumbered by artificial frivolities. The veryopening scene on the Canal bears a unity of objects which goto make a pleasing aspect. The Castle Keep rising aloft, thelimpid river rolling at its base ; beyond it, green pastures,spreading their velvet verdure before the peeping mansionlikebuilding, St. John's College ;the weir falls, arresting theattention by their soft croon and silver ripple, the mysticspan of the bridge above, the whirr of the gray mill below,all lending their varied aids to make up a picture which, inthe twilight, imparts an air of loveliness and repose.Further down a vista upon a grassy plain lies before youshaded by mantelling elms, arched with seeming intent toleave nothing wanted in the picture. The Nore sends abrook with scolding voice over a small waterfall to enliventhe effect ; to the east is the Nore itself, skirted by thewoods of Lacken; to the west the castle demesne. Thus ascene is p resented, which, standing at the bend made hereby the river, spreads an encircling boundary of wood andwater, which gives a higher tone to the taste as well as impartsa healthier vigour to the senses.

'264 MAN'S KILKENNY GUIBK.The diversity of beauty in the Kilkenny Oanal raises itabove any other walk in the vicinity of any city in this King,dom. And the Kilkenny folk, no doubt, appreciate it. " Awalk down the canal" seems here the never-failing remedyfor spirits depressed, a doubtful appetite, or a weakly con.stitutiou, as well as for all the other ills accompanying citylife. Here the merchant takes his family to vary themonotony of his counting-house existence ; the soldier fromthe wa;s repairs hither to enjoy on the scenes of his earlylife the requite which he has earned in foreign service; themechanic breathes the cool breeze on the Sabbath morn ashe hearkens to the chapel bells, sprinkling the air withmellow music ; here the local poet steals cautiously in thesgloaming to drink the cup of inspiration; and here the loverfinds an indispensible creation to mewl his fitful anecdote incharitable as well as accomodating seclusion. For milesthese scenic attractions are prolonged, even increasing asthe tourist proceeds by Kilfera to Bennett's, bridge. Thetourist will do best by leaving the Canal the last object ofvisit, for if made the first, we fear time would run so shortthat the other objects in the city would receive littleattention.THE COUNTY OF KILKENNY.On the map it seems small enough in the company ofstates and empires, yet " holding its own" when we come tothe comity of counties and baronies. Covering over anextent of about 500,000 statute acres, we see in its nicelyproportionedlength and breadth a distance of forty-sixEnglish miles from the Slievemargy hills on the north tothe river Suir in the south : the greatest span in the breadthbeing about twenty-four miles This area we find dividedinto ten baronies, viz., Fassadinan, Cranagh, and Galmoy

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 265in the north ; Gowran, Shillelogher, Kells, and Callan in themiddle ; Ida, Knoektopher, and Iverk in the south. Whatstrange landmarks speck the features of the county, denotingthe rise and fall of dynasties, communities, and families;the transition from barbarism to Christianity, the widechange from the primitive luxurance of the soil to themodern-cultivated surface, all bespeaking ages rolled over,scarcely noted. Ancient woods Ion,' since cleared awayreveal the raths and duns, the scenes of early life, besidewhich the stately household, the picturesque farmyard havearisen, while the railway here and there obtrudes itself tocomplete the modern landscape.The plan which nature struck for the drainage of thecounty seems well desigived, as she gave a fall of about 50(1*feet from its northern to its southern slopes, and sentmother ISTore with its silver wing to perform the duty, givingher a descent of 13 feet in a mile so that the work couldbe in no way laborious. As to how mother Nore got hername it is usually theorised that she assumed it as mostother housewifes do, from the name of her lord or master.The old form of the word was Eoire, which came from thename of KingEremhon, the founder of the Milesian dynasty,who 500 years before the Christian era, erected upon the fairwide plain oner the Eoir his Castle of Rathbeath, as describedin an ancient poem. And of course the birth of our riverhas also its share of whatever traditions are going. Onceupon a time a grand old king named Bladhma becameespoused to a lovelier old queen of the namn of Rheusa,from which matrimonial compact came three daughters,whose beauties have been chanted by Spencer in his poem" The Fairy Queen," written three centuries ago. Thechildren were the Nore, Suir, and Barrow, and the grand oldparent was King Bladhma, or the Slieve Bloom Mountains.2 *'

266 KGAN'S KILKENNY GDIDE.'" The first the gentle Shure that making wayBy sweet Clonmel, adorns rich Waterford ;The next the stubborn Newre, whose waters grayBy fair Kilkenny and Rosse-ponte board ;The third the goodly Barrow which doth hoardGreat heaps of salmon in his deep bosom ;All which long sundred, do at last accordTo join in one, ere to the sea they come,So flowing all from one, all one at last become."'Coming from the shingly beds which encrust thatmountain ; wending from haunts of freedom to the plains,where it becomes clasped by its banks, the Nore soon findsmany friendly streams to unite with it on its journey. Fora distance of thirty-six miles, the Nore rushes from theneighbourhood of Durrow, Queen's County, to the Barrow.After receiving the small rivulet called the Erkin fromDurrow, as well as a brook from Freshford, the first greataugmentation comes in at Three Castles by the junction ofthe Dinan.A very disagreeable state of partnership is often theresult of this union, for sister Dinan is very wicked, bringinga lot of minor tumbling torrents from the hills ofFassadineen in its course to join the Nore at Three Castles,about four miles north of the city, the point of junctionbeing well known as the Rook of Mount Eajile. The Norehas had many poets to sing the praises of its " water without. mud." There is nothing like difference of opinion ; so wegive some lines on the Nore when it is flooded :—THE NORE IN FLOOD. 'Sweet Nore, that oft in summer's joyous dayPellucid shone, and smoothily cours'd thy way,How ehan ged thy aspect, all thy brightness goneAn angry surge you wildly roll along.

EGAN'S KILKENNY GCIDBl. 267No gay canoe upon thy bosom borne ;Thy verdant banks of all their beauties shorn,Delight no more, or scent the morning air,The golden primrose or the daisy fair.No more, sweet Nore, from thy pure crystal bedThe silv'ry trout protrudes its speckled head,And captive takes the inoffensive Hies,Or in the sun's meridian lustre lies.Thy weirs no longer sparkling cascades show,Thy limpid essence in their purling How ;One broad dark wave rolls o'er them now so fleet,Like the rough billows that it hies to meet.After winding by the beauteous Kilkenny Canal and thewood of Kilfera, which is a mile further on, the Nore.receives the next important tributary a mile below Eennettsbridge,called the King's River, which brings fromCallan the Munster River and some small streams in companywith it; and, our river having made alliance withits courtly neighbour, it flows a kingly course through thegrand demesne of Mount Juliet to the sea.Glancing over the mouatain ridges and brown bespangledhills which break the surface of our county they seem peacefulvigils of the prospect. But these same hills in oldentimes marked the boundaries of kingdoms, and witnessedupon their slopes the struggle in many a sanguinaryconflict.The geological map of our county presents three distinctdivisions, the northern and southern, both hilly districts, andthe central plain. Across the middle of the countyembraced between the Counties of Carlow and Tipperarylies the level or central district, including the baronies of• Gowran, Shillilogher, and Kells, and upon this plain theprincipal towns in the county have stood, running ina circle around the base of the hills, enclosing it at the

268 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.north and south, viz., Gowran, Thomastown, Knocktopher,Kells, Callan, Kilkenny. At Gowran was thecelebrated pass, Slieve Margy (Jolmswell), on the north, andthe Ooppsna^h Hills on the south, which pass was calledBealach Gabbran, that is the valley or road of MountGabbran. This was the pass which was watched jealouslyby the Kinsjs of Minuter and Ossory, either in peace or war,it being the road through whicli invading forces marched inwarlike panoply.The line of hills which border the southern hilly district,commencing with the Ooppenagh, and ending in a semicirclewith the Killiny Hills, formed the boundary of SouthernOssory, and are broken into by the Nore on its way to thesea, also by the ancient pass or roadway called Bealach Kile(Ballyhale). As a historical evidence of the importance ofthese ancient passways, the " Four Masters " thus record acelebrated battle at the pass of Bealach Elle :—" A.I). 730The battle of Bealach Elle was fought between Oathal, sonof Finguin, King of Minister, and the Leinsterlnen, whenmany of the Leinstermen were slain. There fell by theMuustermen here, Caellach (Kelly) son of Felchair, thechief of Osraigh, and the two sons of Cormac. son of Rossa,chief of the Deisi, with three thousand along with them."The word Osraigh meant the kingdom or country betweenthe rivers, that is the rivers Nore and Barrjw, as derivedfrom the words Uiaqtte water, and Rioyhachd kingdom, andthat kingdom is proved to have been as old as the firstc-.mtury.The soils of the different baronies vary considerably,though their general character is that belonging to a limc-Btone sub-soil. In the nerth of Fassadinan, we have a mooryturf, a few inches in depth, passing along the eastern borderwe find a light soil in the hilly districi, subsiding into rich

KGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 269loams on the plains, making a splendid wheat country. Thesouth of the county along the west bank of tlie Nore uivesa light soil, being shallow on a limestone bed, but provingexcellent land for sheep walks. Tracing the course of theNore northwards, some splendid meadow is found, whichhas been partly a deposit from inundations, such as' thevalley of Freshford, the old name of which Achadh-ur or fieldof water, would ^o far to prove its immersion. In the northwest of the county the barony ef Galmoy exhibits traces of aferruginous nature, the iron of which we find in a morepalatable state when we taste the waters of Johnstown Spa.Lower down in the barony of Oranagh we arrive at a hillydistrict, slaty in its nature but softening into the broad andfertile plain around Oallan and Kells, watered by the King'sriver, which will give the heaviest crops of wheat in ourcounty. 'But as well as by its soil, the social advancement, thewealth and importance of a community, depends upon themineral treasures which it affords.' In minerals, Kilkennycannot boast to be head of the catalogue of earthly treasures..Silver or gold we have none, yet a fair proportion of nature'sgifts were alloted us in the universal dispensation. Thesame subterranean convulsion which burst into a chain ofmountains across Wicklow and Garlow, gave a share in theirterminus at Mount Leinster, Blackstairs, and Brandon, tothis county, and thus we have the granite beds of the Roarthe parish of Graigue, with parts of Ullard, while somesplendid beds are found in Mount Loftus. Tlie Barrowitself flows over a specklecLbed of granite in the neighbourhoodof Mount Brandon and Graigue, and the buildings inthe neighbourhood show the stone to be varied in shades ofgray, red, and yellow, with a fine grain ; looking quite compactafter the chisel.

THE SECOND TOUR.GRAN GE .OURrN(i is either a reality or a sham. If real,i.ySL?S) anc^ ^ a resolve is made hy an author to bring th ;(3fe%ay tourist with him", he must mark out some plan bywhich the greatest possible interest, and the most knowledgeattainable may be reached in the easiest possible manner.Hence for the first time our splendid county is arranged ina series of tours, the following of which will bring withinthe limits of the tourist almost all the loading objects, antiquarianand scenic, which are dotted over the county ofKilkenny.Tour the second takes us across the western part of thegreat central plain of our county. It can with the utmostease be well accomplished in a day, and for variety of scene,for a fresh carpety verdure, under a sumptuous spreadingof wood, for varied ruins, embracing all the leading classesof antiquity in which our connty abounds, seldom withinso short a distance can such splendid prospects to soothethe eye and elevate the mind be alighted on. Relievingthis, we start with a good " roadster" at ten o'clock of aJune morning, along the road well known as the Callaalload from Kilkenny.The village of Grange is reached after a drive of aboutthree miles, and a pleasant stretch of road it is, welllined by a changeful aspect of the numerous countryresidences in the neighbourhood of the city, whichMr. Jarvey delights to describe ; his reminiscences evidentlybeing coloured here and there by the shades of sundry halfcrowns tipped by the proprietors. The fitful hue of foliage

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 273through the grounds of the many residences is well aidedby the wealth of haw-thorn which skirts the roadways—infact, clothes the whole country between Kilkenny andCallan ; one of the omens by which the luxuriance of thesoil is often judged by. The neighbouring hills of Goldenfields,and the fox-covert of Ballykeeffe, keep company withyou on the road to Grange, and for some miles after _Grange—the meaning of the word being " grain farm"—isa small village consisting of about a dozen houses, amongstthem being the national school, the post-office, the publichtrase, and the police barrack. The " church that topsthe neighbouring hill" with its little towerets is handsome,and beside it there appears a rath.Stopping at a farm-yard ive asked the " man of thehouse"—"What do you call that rath 1"Proprietor (looking amazed)—" What's this they call it 1 ?Biddy, what's the name of that oul ' ra' on the hill 1"Biddy—" The only name I ever hear > on it is ChurchillRath."Proprietor—" Are ye takin' down all the 'ras' now?"Driver—" We are."Proprietor—" Sorrow bit but ye'll have a sight of em."The word Grange must be a comparatively modern term.This townland evidently belonged to the feudal lords ofBallybur, who settled here so early as 1355, their namebeing lie Valle, modernized Wall; and the district forsome centuries back appears under the names of Ballybur,or Grange ; the former, no doubt being the original nameof the townland. But we often hear of it by the term" Grange, the Lime Tree," from a large lime tree whichformerly shaded the principal square of the village. The" Pattern" or " Patron-day" of Grange was a celebrated2G

One is an altar-tomb broken ;the other is the base of a cross built intD th.i mo lernchurch, and bearing an inscription of " Richard Comefford,"Lord of Ballybur, and Mary Purcell, his wife."BALLYBUR CASTLE.This grand old fortress is seen from the village of GrangeA detour of about a mile brings us into the farmyard whichsurrounds it. It is still occupied as a dweliinghouse, and aswe enter the low arched doorway, a kindly welcome bringsus to the interior. A strange old mansion it looks. Thelower floor is entered by a second stone arched door, and anicely mullioned stone window shows a dim light withinHere was the wine cellar, the store of the establishment, andwell protected it was by strong walls of ample thickness-The second floor which we reach by the stone stair-casebrings us to the dormitories. Rather awkward for sleepingpurposes it appears, but yet quite different was the fact.These spacious arched recesses in the walls were the bedchambers, which if we imagine' them curtained off from thelarger square, present a well ventilated and convenientarrangement for the family. Upon the third floor we havethe state room, furnished with chimneys and stone mantlrpiec^

But other personages may have partakenof its hospitality, and who figure for all time. And so theyhave. To come upon this fact it is necessary to say thatthe Oastle of BalJybur was built by the Comerfprds probablyabout the year 1588. They were in possession of it downto 1650, so that they occupied the castle and this floorduring the Confederation of 1641. If the tourist will callto .mind the entrance into Kilkenny of the Papal Nuncio,Rinuccini, how he stopped on his way from Limerick toKilkenny, about three miles outside the city, in a familymansion, to give time for his reception, we at once see beforeus the very apartment in which we stand, lighted up byall the aid then at disposal, filled with important personageswho either came to do him honour, or accompany him, andthus the Castle of Ballybur becomes an historic object, wellrepaying the trouble of our tour both in an historical andantiquarian sense, it being linked with one of the most importantcrisis in the history of Kilkenny, we might say ofIreland.BURNOHUROH OASTLE.A short drive for a mile through a fertile country bringsus to the Castle of Burnchurch. It appears as two buildings)the round castle and the square one, from being cut in twoby the road leading to Farmley demesne. The castle'shistory is enveloped in much obscurity. It was ancientlyknown as " Branchirche," and belonged to the Fitzgeraldsconnected with the House of Desmond.But on the other side of the road on the site of the oldgraveyard there is more interest concentrated in the low and

276 SCAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.rudely-built mausoleum over the remains of the oncecelebrated Harry Flood, one of the lights of the Irish Parliament,whose oratorical effort in his celebrated Philippicagainst Mr. Grattan, is regarded as one of the mostbrilliant, if satirical passages, in the pages of literature.During his life the passion for duelling was rampant, andthe continued war waged between the families of Agar andFlood about their respective claims upon the representationof Callan, municipal and otherwise, were noted facts of localgossip, a century ago. A duel fought between the occupantof this tomb and one of the Agars, proved fatal to the latter.The dispute arose about-the possesion of pistols, but iureality began in the quarrels concerning the Callan election.The duel was fought in the Triangle-road, Kilkenny, andAgar being killed, a trial was instituted against HarryFlood, at the Kilkenny Assizes, 1770, and 1 at which he wasacquitted.CALLAN.The town of Callan lies before us, towards which we arehastening, and having once reached the hill of Tullamaine itsbuildings rise on the plain backed on the horizon by theblue-crowned Slievenamon. A short run brings us to Commons'Hill, just over the town. Here we pulled up toobtain a distant view of the thriving town. A strollingcharacter, who evidently belonged to Callan or Kilkenny, asextremities directed, stood by the car and thought he wouldalso have a look," Callan is a nice town, sir," said he." So it seems," was our short reply."Yes, and its as fine a town as Kilkenny," he echoed,giving a jump, and taking to his heels. Th m whirling his

But the antiquity ofthe district reaches much further back into primitive history.In the ancient poem of O'Heerin he mentions this countrythus:-—" 0 Gloiarin the fruitful branch has gotA cantred of a sweet countryThe smooth land along the beauteous Callan,A land without a particle of blemish."The river which washes the town was anciently called theCallann ; and to the present day a small river which emptiesitself into the Callann near Killinny mills is called the Gloryriver, from the ancient tribe of that name which occupied itsborders. But the Callann is modernly better known as theKing's river, and how it received that title is explained by.tradition-King Niall Caille, monarch of Ireland, in 841 A,D., attemptedto place one of the O'Faelains on the throne ofLeinster. Marching along an old pass way from Kells -grange to Rathduff' attempting to cross the river with hisforce, the stream being swollen he ordered one of hisattendants to sec if it were fordable, and the soldier being

278 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.drowned, the King leaped after him to save him, but only toshare a similar fate.On Cromwell's first visit to Kilkenny he returned from itand laid seige to (Jallau, with the hope that easy work lay beforehim, in whicii he was rather disappointed. At that timeSir Robert Talbot was chief in command, and it was believedhe had arranged a surrender. Not so, however, with Mac-Geo^hegan, an Irish officer, who held the castle till hebecame overwhelmed by numbers. The castle which thisbrave soldier protected is stil standing in West-street, knownas Skerries Castle, and tradition says the defenders Sverescalded to death, though Cromwell's despatch to the Parliament,dated Feb. 15, 1G50, relates as follows—"The enemyhad possessed three castles, one belonging to Butler veryconsiderable, the other two had about 120 men, who refusingconditions were all put to the sword."As a further proof of the battle in this spot Dr. Butler,of Callan, in 1856 found an immense quantity of humanbones in the garden to the rere of the castle.It is a considerable loss to the history of KilKenny county,and of Ossory, that the early muniments of the Callan Corporationare not locally available. In a suit agaiust CharlesMood in 1774 they were brought to the King's Bench, and,strange to say, have not since, been returned. The TownsImprovement Act, as at present constituted, was passed in1-855, and Callan adopted it at that date.The neighbourhood of Callan has been remarkable for thenumerous battles fought between the ancient dynasties ofOssory and Munster. In fact, the plain anciently called"Magh Roighna,'' or the plain of the .Queen, so frequentlymentioned in the annals of the country, almost coincidedwith the present barony of Kells surrounding Callan, andthis plain was nearly identical with Lower Ossory, upon the

EfiAN'8 KILKENNY GOIDE. 279borders of which stretched the territory of the Kings ofL ashel or Munster, the battles between both having madethis locality so historic. All historians agree that a greatbattle was fought here two hundred years before theChristian era, in which Enna Airgterch, MoKftf«h of Ireland,was slain; and the fact is authenticated in the " Annals ofthe Four Masters."'In the first century ^Engus of Ossory marched intoMunster, took possession of the plains of Cashel, and,strange to say, for four centuries afterwards the Ossory menheld possession of the district and annexed it to Ossory.ISut in the fifth century the Munster men at last resolved toshake off the yoke of Ossory, the result of which was thatafter a terrific battle the Ossorians were routed. This engagementtook place between Callan and Mullinahone, at aplace called Carabine bridge ; and about thirty years ago alarge quantity of rusty blades and other warlike implementswere turned up in a neighbouring field with the plough.It is interesting to note that this battle, and the line ofof retreat made by the Ossorians, has given names to mostof the localities through which they passed. The defeatedarmy, pursued by the Munster men, came along the volleyof the stream called the Kilbride river, and were forced tocross the Callann, near the present Newtown bridge. Hencethe pt.i ish name Earlstown, which is another^ form ofBallyerly or Baille-Urliudhe, which Irish word means thetown of the irresistible blows of valiant men.In 1261, the native sept, M'Carthy, attacked the Fitzgeralds,slew the leader, John Fitzgerald, and in 140f>O'Carroll, Prince of Ossory, aided by the Burkeens fromTipperaiy, attacked the then Lord-Deputy, James Earl ofOrmonde, in which engagement near the town of CnllanO'Carroll was slain.

280 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.Entering Callan, as the Visitor .passes the splendidconvent, three objects appear most prominently above thetown. Two of them are in ruins; the other is the presentFriary. Much confusion arises jn the description of thetwo churches in ruins, in consequence of both having belongedto the Augustinian order. But there is a significantdistinction. The old ruin in Green-street is that of theAugustinian Regulars, and was formerly the parish chapel.The old ruin in the field is that of the AugustiniatnHermits, and was the old Friary of Callan.The Augustinian Church.-*— So early as 1120 a church issaid to have been in Callan, and in 1251 Bishop Hugh deMapleton founded a house for canons regular. It is, however,in 1460 that the old ruin in Green-street was foundedor rebuilt by James Butler, father of Peter, eighth Ear] ofOrmonde.This church is still.in good preservation, and, as a monumentof antiquity, its richly-mullioned windows and gracefultower presents a pleasing accompaniment, with the improvingwell-built and healthful streets which surround it. Thischurch contains some curious monuments. One to AdamLe Blund, is historic, since he was the second husband ofthe witch, Dame Alice Kyteler, who lived in King-streetKilkenny. There is a monument to Thomas, seventh Earlof Ormonde, and one to Edmond, son of Theobald Butler,while the Comerfords have three monuments, one of whichis the mural entablature outside the church. Part of theedifice is at present restored for service in the Irish Church.Tradition says this church was built by the three Shaughrauns,that is by three ladies, members of the Comerfordfamily, who gave their fortune to build the nave and twoaisles of the edifice.The Augustinian Friary.—Thisruin in the meadows, the

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 281old Priory of Oallan, was founded by James FitzEdmundButler in 1471, where he is said to have been buried in1478, though no trace of the founders name by any monument,now exists there. Standing in peaceful isolation onthe green meadow, its rnullioned windows and grey towerlink Oallan with the period of devastating change inthe history of these countries, and relieve in scenic effect themodern improvements of the city by lending the venerationof antiquity to the prospect.In 1557, at the dissolution of the monasteries, thisbuilding and its appurtenances passed to Thomas Earl ofOrmonde, called the Black Earl, who is said to have beenthe first Protestant Earl of Ormonde, and to whom the lastPrior, William O'Pogarty, surrendered the Abbey. Fromthat time to the year 1810 Callan could not boas; of anyhouse worthy of the sacred objects of the Order.In the town, a lane will be pointed out to the tourist as" Clotheen Lane.'' Here a small house stood which wasmade to serve for the IOIIJJ; interregnum after 1557 as aFriary. This building will be best described by Mr. P.Cody, the respected chairman of the Town Commissioners,who has given its history to us. Father Grace was sayingMass when the whole congregation became frightened bythe falling in of the roof. The good priest never moved,the congregation stood u]3, and with uplifted arms supportedthe roof till the conclusion of the divine service. After thisa resolve to build the new friary was immediately formed.The Present Friary.—In 1819 the Rev. John Rice, brotherof Ignatius Rice, the founder of the Christian schools inIreland, founded the new friary of Callan. It is a buildingworthy of the piety of the Callan people, ample in size andelegant both in interior as well as exterior design, its Gothicceilings and windows lighted with stained glass, together

282 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.with its high and graceful proportions, render it one of themost desirable houses of worship which could be found inand town of the size of Callan. After the completion ofthis chapel in 1821 Mr. Strang ways sold his interest in theAbbey field to Mr. Patrick Rice, of Westcourt. The lattergentleman sold it to the Rev. John Rice, Prior of theConvent; so t hat after a lapse of two hundred and fiftyyears the building in the Abbey field returned once more toits original owners. A neat bridge across the King's Riverfrom one abbey to the other is a sufficient indication of theunity of the old friary, and the new, after an interval of somany years between the dates of their founding.The Parish Chapel.—The building at the head of Greenstreetoccupies the site of an old stone house, the originalchapel. In 1816 Father Forristil, P.P., procured a leasefrom Lord Clifden of the grounds tor ihe site. After tindeathof Father Forristal, Father Henneberry carried on thework in a spirited manner, which he bi ought to a completion.A stone over the water-font represents a sculpturedfigure emblematic of the Holy Trinity, and is said to havebelonged to the old church.Education.—Education is well cared for in Callan by theeonvent for girls, and by the Christian Brothers Schoolsfor boys. The latter was founded upon the grounds whichwere bequeathed by Brother Ignatius Rice, the founder ofthe order of Christian Brothers. In both institutions aneducation suited to the wants of the people is liberally imparted.Tanning Manufactory.—It is a strange sign of thevagaries of trade that the raw material goes from Kilkennyto be manufactured in Callan. Such is the case. Manyof the hides leave Kilkenny, and are sold in Callan at thetanning manufactory of Mr. P. Cody. It has afforded us

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 283much pleasure to walk over the works, see the number ofmen employed, find the most modern and improved steamenginesgiving the motive power to the factory, and observethe finished article clearing out to foreign markets fast asit comes from the hand of the finisher. Why tanning candevelop to considerable proportions in Callan, and whyalmost all the tanyards of Kilkenny are closed, and convertedto other purposes, is one of those enigmas whichsometimes fall amongst the impossible to solve.Sculpture.—A good man rising in his native city, throughsheer force of genius, is not an every day example atibrdedin a town. Oallan may boast of such. Mr. Edward O'Sheahas won his spurs not by a royal road, but by labour andability. The winner of a gold medal at the Dublin Exhibitionof '82, and at the Cork Exhibition of '83, need nottrouble his head in doubting the consequences of his enterprise. But what will we say when we find the secludedyoung man in Callan taking his sculptured Irish cross overthe ocean to the land of great deeds, to the Boston Exhibition,and bearing home a gold medal to his native town, atrophy of the sculptors worth, and of the zeal which geniusenkindles. The stone used by Mr. O'Shea in his stone andmarble works is procured from a neighbouring quarry,Ballydoimell, and is quite tine and hard under the chiselgiving out a pretty and a durable colour.Hotels.—-The tourist will find the hotels of Callan moderate:in charges, and giving accomodation in every way satisfactory.Mr. Walsh's the " Adelphi," has baths attached, andgardens adjoining the hotel, which are a further attraction.Mr. Molloy (the Commercial and Family Hotel) can alsosatisfy all the wants of the tourist, while a posting departnieut is kept well appointed.

284 KGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.NEWTOWN .CASTLE.Starting about three o'clock on our way to Newtow-Cistle, we are relieved by the reflection that if the visit donot reveal anything extraordinary, it brings us nearer toKells. After crossing Newtown Bridge, we ascend a hill,and while doing so two massive towers of ivy show besidethe road, as if two great ivy trees. They simply cover thecastle from head to foot, which itself is a square Normanbuilding o"f no pretensions above the average. But NewtownCastle is remarkable for the extensive view which maybe had from its summit. " The smooth land of O'Gloiranalong the beauteous Callann," as O'Heerin ancientlydescribed it, lies beneath ; but beyond that is the great andextensive plain of the ancient " Magh Hhaigne," embracingsouthern Ossory to the confines of the plains of Cashel onthe one side, and as far as the eye can reach to the horizonon the other ; the round tower of Kilree being here a prominentobject on the landscape. The tourist should hereuse the telescope for a treat while embracing distance.THE SEVEN CASTLES OF KELLS.Oft' to Kells. The tourist while earnest in doing real intellectualwork, never dawdles by the way. Having arrived,v u inuso find some boy or local guide to bring us across thefield to the castles. Here a singular spectacle awaits us.Beside the purling King's river, a city of defence has beenset up, not an isolated fortress or castle, but a series ofbuildings furnished by all the leading elements which makeup the nucleus of a city. The rivulet which turned themill, the mill itself, the castellated dwellings, the farmyard,

EG&N'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 285the church, all fulfilling the wants of a community in the" good old times" when people recognised" The good old rule, the simple planThat they should take, who have the power,And they should keep who eau."Before commencing to examine the topography of theplace, or think about its history, the solidity of the buildingsat once strikes the visitor. See the great arched stoneswhich form the arches, the precision with which they havebeen chisled, the breadth of the walls which the archessupport, and the general configuration by which it was intsndedto erect a peaceful habitation, at the same time animpregnable defence, designed as if to last through all timeand change, under whatever laws or government.The buildings before the tourist formed part of an ancientPriory. Before you a broad and spacious rectangle spreads,containing about three-fourths of an acre, and around thisnow verdant spot, the fortifications stretch, consisting offour Norman castles, and the mill, which was also built asa fortresss. The space inside this rectangle was really thefarmyard of the Priory, into which the cattle were diiven atnight lest marauders might prey upon them before themorning. This bawn or great yard is called the Burgher's,and by some the " Burgess," either of which terms it isdifficult to see the application of.The mill is now broken and partly demolished, yet thewatercourse though dry is to be, seen, and the spot where thewheel turned to grind the corn for the community is visibleenough. We have thus only enumerated only five castles.But to understand the original plan of the fortificationswe have to imagine another rectangle the same size as theone just described,' built parallel with it, and containing

286' EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.the church, the cloisters, the domestic buildings, etc.,with the foundations of two other castles now in ruins,hence the expression the Seven Castles of Kells. This court,which was the northern, is to-day a heap of ruins, which isthe more to be regretted, as one of its castles was that inwhich I'lulij) nu Moid Bauim's " Peter of the Castle" lived.Standing in the Burghers or southern court, a flood ofbewildering ideas break in upon the mind. The iron-casedenclosure prepared for the fihud and struggle of war, theruins of the religious edifices bringing so strange a contrast;the mill ivied and shottered—a dismantled emblem cf industry; all bring us back to a state of society so differentfrom our own, that an effort of continued thought is requiredto realize the time when'' Along the streams and the meiidows by,Sweetly and softly swells,Bome on the breeze, the vesper chimes,From the Priory Church of Kells."The manor of Kells was granted by Strongbow to Geoffreyde Maurisco, who founded Kells Priory in 1193, and broughtfour Augustian monks from Cornwall to take possession. Atthe perLd of the suppression of monasteries a plea wasmade for the preservation of Kells (" Kenlys," as it was thencalled) ; but to no avail. Kenlys or Kells was surrenderedby Philip Howligan, the last Prior, and the plate, jewels,etc., brought £198 Is. 8d., a large sum in those days. Thepossessions were granted to James 9th Earl of Ormonde, byHenry VIII., and the history of Kells since that time isuneventful.Kells is not now a very flourishing village, and the quiet ofits streets is only a corresponding attribute of the forgottenwalls of the priory. But remember—" Kells was," accord-

ROAN'S KILKENNY GTJIDK. 287ing to the proverbial phrase, and so it has its claims forveneration. Kells was a walled town ; Kells boasted of thesplendid priory which is now the most magnificent ruin inour county ; Kells had a castle, the lordly residence of aSeneschal of Leinster ; Kells had a college, and it had itsNorman knights and sturdy burghers. Besides its glisteningstreams the portly dame in dainty kirtle met the knightwith the coat of mail or the flowing majit'.e ; but all are nowforgotten, and the present population of Kells talk of thedullness of trade since the late failure of the Killinnymills, just as if monk and knight and kirtled dame neverenjoyed the twilight upon the slopes which are hissed by theOallan river.THE ROUND TOWER OP KILREE.It is not a long drive, and though evening may be droopingswiftly with a dim mantle, yet the tower of Kilree willnot look the less lovely. A splendid buildiug the tower is,and in excellent preservation. We drive up, and beforeentering the old churchyard see what life surrounds thevicinity. Opposite the style'at the door of a small house astalwart inhabitant answers a question—" Is this the steeple of Kilree V"It is, sir."" Do you know of any monument erected here to a king?""0, yes: there's an ould stone cross in the meadow belonging to him, 'and off we go.Searching for an old stone cross in the dim twilight is notalways as agreeable as romantic folk may imagine. Wewandered in and out through the old church, around thesteeple, gray and stately, but could find no cross, until atlast, fear of making too bold upon the sacred precincts of thedead caused us to give up the search.*

288 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.Just at the moment our friend came up. " I thought youcould'nt find it, sir," and he steered across an open meadowin the centre of which, sure enough and lar^e enough, is thestone cross of the King. No name records the demise ofhis majesty ; no date tells the period of his reyn. Thus thestone cross of Kilree becomes more interesting because of itsmysterious history. It is most extraordinary that menof any a»e could be found to involve themselves in so muchlabour and expense to perpetuate some memory, yet fail toenlighten by word or emblem the object which herebyactuated them, leaving tradition to be responsible for theiractions. The round tower of Kilree (A7/, a church, a rif/h, aking, and its old cross are well worthy of a visit from thetourist. King Nial in crossing the Oallan, as alreadystated, directed his servant to discover if it were fordable.The servant plunged in through obedience, and his Majestyseeing him drowning, jumped in to save him, but shared thesame fate. Thus the event gave the name " Kilree" to thechurch, and " King's River'' to the stream which flowsalong the valley between Kells and Oallan.«

THE THIRD TOUR.BENNETTSJJRIDGE.E are now going down south, to travel the lineof country described at one time to be the connectinglink between Kilkenny and the sea, bythe canal. Tout- Three is the most picturesque in this county.The first four miles is uninteresting by the road. At Bennettsbridgesome historic recollections come to mind. Thehill to the right as we enter the village on the west side isthat upon which William III. encamped when lie wrotethe celebrated epistle overturning the Charter of James II,for Kilkenny, and restoring the charter of James I. bywhich the city was incorporated in 1609. This hill, risingover the village, is to the present day known as " CannonHill," and swords, cannon balls, etc., have from time totime been found there.The origin of the name of the village is not known.Legend talks of a man named Bennett having a dreamwhich told him to build the bridge, hence the name. Thevillage has been so called, as far back as 1393. We haveendeavoured to trace the-Irish name by which it was known,but have not succeeded.Two bridges may be traced in the bed of the river, bytheir battlements remaining, and an arch of an old castlestill remains, which castle defended the important bridgeand pass across the county from Gowran. We have beeninformed by two ii telligtiiE men in the neighbourhoodthat they remember the castle to be in existence there fortyyears ago.

EGAN'S KILKKNNV GUIBE. 291The trade of Bennettsbridge consists in the mills of Mr.Mosse, which give large employment; also in the fishing,which in the season is a considerable source of revenue tothe village.WOLLENGRANGEOn the way to Thoinastown this rath and place of sepultureis one of the curiosities which, though of great momentto the antiquariun, is little known or thought of.A number of raths are spread over an area which ifexplored and excavated might reveal some valuablecuriosities.THOMASTOWN.When the tourist arrives in Thomastown he finds himselfin the neighbourhood of a country so charming andpicturesque, abounding in such rich scenery, dotted by manyinteresting remains of antiquity, that a week might be spenthere with profit and pleasure.Thomastown was a walled city, sent two members toParliament, had twice its present population, and was theleading point for commerce! on the Nore before the benignintervention of railways.Thomastown received its name from Thomas Fitz AnthonyWalsh (Seneschal), Prince of Leinster, who granted a charterto it about the middle of the thirteenth century. It wasfrom his successors who built eighteen castles in the southof the county, that the Walsh mountains have been socalled. One of the seals of the Corporation is still in thepossession of Lord Olifden, as well as a minute book of theCorporation commencing in 1693. It would be a mistaketo think that Thomastown was then governed by a corporationjust as our modern cities are. The custom was then

An ancient cross still exists there. The presentparish chapel on the hill is a plain substantial building, andthough not presenting a very attractive exterior, is adornedin the interior most lavishly and with the best of taste.The scenery around Mr. Nugent's is an example of thatrural prospect which always delights, having the hillsbounding the undulating plains before the residence ; andthe walk from Thoniastown by the river banks to the" viaduct"—a great railway bridge spanning the Nore, is aa summer treat to be remembered.The milling interest of Thomastown is well represented inthe large flour-mills of the Messrs. Pilsworth. In thetannery department, Thomastown has just as many tanneriesas the city of Kilkenny. The tannery of Mr. John Ryanis extensive and flourishing, and deserves all the localsupport which might possibly be called forth to sustainnative enterprise.• "JERRIPOINT."The deniesue of Mount Juliet lies about two miles westof Thomastown, and will be an object of interest which

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 203must prove a pleasant detour from Thomastown. Weallude to those several spots of scenic beauty in the district,because a run from Kilkenny by an early train gives oftensufficient time to meander amongst those wooded glades.The visitor will easily have pointed out to him fromthese slopes of Mount J uliet the site of the old town of" Jerripoint," now marked only by a few piles of stones andbroken walls. Here was a corporate town, having itsdevious streets, lanes, and alleys, now all obliterated,blotted out into the region of dusty parchments and crazychroniclers. All is gone—asleep, with the " pride of formerdays;" the ca*v of the rook being the only voice to supply thewhistle of the street gamin. This is all undeniable fact.Our county had five borough towns, which returned membersto the Irish Parliament down to the Union, viz.,Thomastown, Gowran, Oallan Knocktopher, and Kells.The two towns of Jerpoint and Rosbercon also receivedcharters, but their municipal records are lost.The town of " Jerripoint," now represented by peacefulmeadows, elm trees, and honey-suckles, was once the sceneof a great battle between the young Geraldine and LordJames Butler, in which Stanihurst relates that the Butlerforces were routed and fled to bunmore. It is not necessaryto say, " Peace be with poor Jerpoint," for it enjoysthat privilege, to quite an unenviable serenity.JERPOINT ABBEY.This magnificent ruin is within ten minutes' drive ofThomastown. It is considered the most important of themonastic ruins which we possess in the county, and, indeed,in extent, wealth and grandeur, was considered the fourthin the kingdom. At the suppression in 1540, the demesneand lands covered 6,500 acres.

"' "";. "'-::294 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.Archdall says that Jerpoint was founded by DonoughFitzpatrick, Priuce of Ossory, in 1180, and of course everyone else says the same. There is, however, much greaterreason to think that this abbey was founded by FelixO'Dullany, who became bishop in 1178, introduced theCistercian order of monks, and who was buried at Jerpointin 1202, his monument being at the north side of the highaltar. The tombs of Prince Donough and his wife ar•:• alsoto be seen in the male aud female figure on a tomb. Thearchitecture of Jerpoint is peculiar. The masive piers ofthe Norman style, and the pointed arches of the earlyEnglish style, are united; thus showing the church tobelong to the "transition" style when both were blended.-Jerpoint is now a silent momento of the busy hum oflife which once echoed within its walls, spread over severalacres, and well fulfills the ideas expressed in the mournfulstanza :'' 1 gaze where Jerpoint's venerable pile,Majestic in its ruins o'er me lowers,The worm now crawls through each untrodden aisle,And tlie bat hides within its time.worn towers."INISTIOGE.This is no ordinary village. Every house in it seemscomfortable, neat, and commodious. To the stranger thisvillage seems so unusual at its first appearance that thethought at once arises, Whence all this good cheer 1 Thereply is to be found in the liberality displayed by tlie Tighefamily in keeping the place in a good state of preservation.Inistioge was a walled town, in the barony of Gowran.Though the original Abbey was founded here in 80.0, it wasin 1220 that Thomas Fitz Anthony founded the last Abbey ;and the first Prior, whose name was Alured, tame from

EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 295Kells. It was this prior who granted the charter to Inistioge,just as Bishop O'Dullany granted it to Irishtown. In1550 Henry VIII. granted all the possesions of the Abbeyto Sir Richard Butler for 21 years at £64 per annum.The principal battle ev er fought in Inistioge was that betweenthe Irish and the Danes, in which the latter were defeated,707 being slain on the spot.Inistioge as a borough is famous in the annals of theIrish Parliament, for its history would go far to show, thatthe proper location of the spot noted as the battleground ofthe " Kilkenny Cats" should be fixed near Woodstock.A royal row was kept up for ages between two familiesand their successors, about the patronage of the borough.Cromwell left 1,716 acres of the lands here to Major JosephDeane, so that the Deane family "had it all their own way"for a considerable period. When Captain Stephen Sweetbought Woodstock from the Duke of Ormonde, he and hissuccessors the Fownes family went in for the patronage ofthe borough, so as to represent it in Parliament, and theyfinally succeeded in " ousting" the Deanes.In 1727 a singular occurrence arose by having fourrepresentatives returned for the borough, two by thePortrieve, and two by the Recorder, so that it became amatter for Parliament to decide.But the ieal battle did not come on till the Deanesresolved to make o. Inst tiiand struggle. The clan musteredin full strength and marched, colours flying, to take Inistiogeby stojm. Sir William Fownes as generalisimo of theforces within, was equal to the occasion. No ionic-columnedbridge then spanned the Nore, people crossed in a bridgeof boats. These Sir William drew off, leaving the beseigersin much chagrin on the opposite bank of the river, theweapons being—stones, yes, stones were the weapons of

i. /296 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.these trojans. The " Fire" was also well maintained by thegarrison of the town, and their being possibly no flankmovement, the Deane forces were drawn away, having thusexhausted their last effort to recover the borough.'The bridge of Inistioge consists of ten arches, thesouthern side being ornamented by Ionic pillars.The hotels of Inistioge are equal to any in the kingdomfor general aconimodation, and as to a good dinner, the bestof judges who have travelled to Woodstock agree thatnothin g can excel the freshness and quality of the viands.WOODSTOCK.This is the crowning pearl in the diadem of Tour Three.Kilkenny people will often ask you " Were you ever inWoodstock 1 " And if you had not been there then you hadbetter say little upon the beauties of the county till you haveseen it. One fair maiden will tell you " Oh, we had a grandpic -nic there last summer," calling up visions of some loverstilting ; another, a gray-headed seer will relate how hedanced at the Red House when he was a young boy, and soon. To do justice to Woodstock we would require half abook, so we cannot do much in a page or two to the courtlyresidence of Mr. Tighe.A largess of ideas come so thick that in starting 'tis hardto select. Nature and art, science and taste, have all unitedto make the scenes in Woodstock a success- Rare shrubsfrom foreign lands have come to add their rarity to the greatold oaks of the forest, which have held sway here for centuries; wildernesses of underwood everywhere save theslightest baldness from exhibiting itself ; colonnades of giantelms make living arcades miles in length; frowning rocksallow many and many a crystal brook to dash over them on

EGANS KILKENNY GUIDE. 297to the river with music soft and gay, these and numerousother objects equally absorbing meet the view.We will go to the Red House, a small building near thebrink of the river, of great convenience to tourists who visitWoodstock, but possessing in itself no single point of beauty.Our way from Inistioge to this spot must be slow, especiallyif we have a flighty horse, for remember, the car runs alonga ledge of rocks having from sixty to one hundred feet of aprecipice for a fall, displaying forests of brush and foliage toswallow up the vehicle and its occupants. It is verysingular how some scribblers about Woodstock will tell youhow many slates are on the Red House, and the height anddimensions of its chimneys, instead of describing the gloriousscenes which surround it.The Castle of Cluanas seen from the Red House shows anoble and exquisite picture, backed by the closing hills andwith the superb winding which the river here makes. Fromthe Red House a glen richly ornamented by nature's giftsruns,'watered by. a brook which whimples its trebly musictill it gushes sprawling over a waterfall made famous inBanim's tale of the " Fetches." High above this spot overmany a rocky eminence is the rustic cottage, and here thenovelist makes " Tresham" imagine Anna to be the ghost of•the veritable girl, after which he takes her by the hand andleaps with tragic and fatal bound into the abyss of Brushwoodwater beneath. These novelists are queer people. Theylink love with all that seems felicitous on earth,, and thenext moment make the most horrid deeds look beautifulthrough the hazy madness which it developes.The gardens, hothouses, etc., are so extensive that theyin themselves would take a whole day from a person skilledin botany to examine them closely. The demesne, soprofuse in ferns, over which two hundred deer roam without2K

Greattrees risin,' aloft in majestic splendour, spreading profuselytheir rich fol iage to the ground, decorate the front of thelandscape ; while the horizon is furnished by the purpletoppedBrandon Hill, and the Nore which is swiftly makingfor the Wexford hills has found the spot" Where from a certain point its winding flood,Seems at the distance like a crescent moon."The original lords of the estate before the invasion worethe Fitzgf raids of Cluan, but after the rout of K ing James'sarmy at Aughrim, where Fitzgerald was slain, CaptainStephen Sweet, an ofiicjr i 1 King William's forces, boughtthe property, which had been confiscated. From this familythe property passed by marriage to Mr. William Tighe, ofRosana, County Wicklow.The beauties of Woodstock are not alone associated withthe [classic in scenery. They also rec ill classic associationsof a high literary order when recalling the beautiful p jem ofMrs. Mary Tighe, the authoress of " Psyche or the legendof love." In the ancient Abbey of Inistioge is a beautifulaltar tomb to her memory, bearing a recumbent figure inrepose, which has been immortalised in song by Mrs.Hemns.>-

KGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE, 301early founder of the family in this country being Hugh deOanteville, one of the followers of Strongbow.The Cantwells inhabited the marches of " Ballygowran"(Gowran). The wars in that district between them and theM'Murghsand the O'Kowlans are facts of local history, andthe castle called Oantwell's Court is yet a fortification fairlypreserved, three miles from the city. During the Confedei-ationThomas Cantwell, of Oantwell's Court (now Sandford'sCourt) was appointed Marshal of the Supreme Council of theConfederation. Cromwell sent a party to storm Cantwell'sCourt, and two monks were taken from there and hangedin the market-place in Kilkenny. It was at this time theCantwells were driven from their estates, some of them intoexile. A portion of the family lived at Kilfane. Thedemesne of Sir E,. Power, Kilfane, will be worthy the visitof the tourist. The rich, dark verdure of the country, andthe soft pastoral stretches surrounding and diversifying thewoods, are truly a treat in the line of sylvan scenery. Awell, possesing an ancient cross lies to the south of KilfaneHouse.GRAIG-NA-MANAGH.What mountain is this rising so nobly, yet sometimesclothed so heavily in mist above the streets of this nice littlejtown upon our eastern border. Driving into Graigue,Brandon Hill, as this mountain is called looks huge in itsvicinity, and appears to the stranger unacustomed to see it,so close that you begin to long for a walk to the top. Aftertrying the encounter of four miles of a gradual ascent, theardour of the tourist becomes, however, rather mitigated.Brandon receives its name from St. Brendan.The entrance to Graigue from the Kilkenny side showsat once in the street the old Abbey of Duiske, such

302 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.being its ancient name, from the confluence here of theriver Duiske, or Blackwater, with the Barrow. The firstmonastery was founded here in 1171, by Dermod O'Ryan,Prince of Idrone, but the Abbey of which we see the ruinswas founded by William Marshal, of Kilkenny, in 1212, forCistercian monks.The Abbey of Graigue is remarkable for the imposinggrandeur of its high Gothic windows, which rank among themost beautiful specimens of that style of architecture.' Graigue Abbey contains one of. those singular monumentsof which we have no example in St. Oanice's, viz.. across-legged effigy, which is now built into the wall of thechurch. As we have said with reference to the tomb ofOantwell at Kilfane, this style is supposed to represent thedeceased as a crusader, tho ugh some consider it merely as aChristian emblem.The town of Graigue has numerous memories in connectionwith its history, some even of the the secondary onesbeing interesting. Having reached there, the tourist willfeel more immediate interest in the scenery surrounding.Brandon Hill presents a varied foliage of changing greenand purple from its base to its summit, and seems to accompanythe traveller whereever he may stroll along the invitingpleasaunces which make Graigue so attractive. Wood andwater show in abundant, proximity, and the numerous boatswhich ply to and fro on the river enliven the placid quietness which the mountain and the river depict so forcibly.Graigue is a thriving town, trade is not retrograding asin many other inland towns ; a fine corn disti'ict surroundsit, and the general population are comparatively affluent.The starch manufactory of Lieutenant J. Kelly, MountBrandon, has a celebrity worthy of belonging to the metropolisof the kingdom. Not like most of our factories, which

KGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. " 303have gone down before foreign competition, the Burrowstarch manufactory has survived and lived to compete victoriouslywith any foreign rival. Brain, we believe to behere the great secret of success, as the patent by which thearticle is manufactured Las been such as renders imitationalmost impossible. For clearness of colour and finenessof texture this starch excels most of the spuriousarticles imported.GOWRAN.The town of Gowran has lost most of its former opulenceas a corporate town, for such it was, and at an early date.Singularly enough several of the documents belonging tothe ancient Corporation of Gowran are in possession of thepresent town clerk of Kilkenny. How they came or wereleft there no one can tell.Gowran takes its name from a celebrated pass in themountaii s called Bealach Gabhran, which literally meantthe pass of the White Horse.The p iss of Gabhran was a celebrated highway leadingthrough the mountains in the east of our county, and closeto this ancient road one of the kings of Ossory erected hispalace or " balie;' hence the name Ballygabhran, modernizedGowran.This district was first granted after the Anglo-Normaninvasion to Theobald Fitzwalter in 1177, who was theancestor of the Ormonde family. A charter of incorporationwas granted by the owner in 1206 ; so that Gowranhas just as ancient a history as Kilkenny when consideredas a corporate town. In 1391 James the third Earl ofOrmonde, built the old castle, which was the first residenceof the Clifden family. The Castle of Ballyshawnmore is inthe demesne, and is said to have been the residence of theOrmonde family originally.

304 EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.The continued battles between the Irish septs, viz., theO'Nowlans, Kavanaghs, O'ltians, and the Anglo-Normansresulted in the burning of the town in 1414. But it wasno doubt, also burned at a much earlier period, for EdwardBruce attacked it in 131G and sacked Gowran and thevicinity. In 1608 James I. gave the most important charterto Gowran, under wliich it held its position as a corporatetown to the time of the Uuion.Gowran is a remarkably neat and well-kept town, chietiyowing to the repair in which it-is keptby the Clifden family.The town now boasts of a copious supply of fresh waterfrom Water Works lately erected by the firm of Power andSon, Kilkenny.The Abbey of Gowran is still in excellent preservation,some fine windows show their ivy-clad mullions from thestreets, thus keeping up its historical interest similar toother towns in the county.The new parish chapel of Gowran has been raised by theparishioners in a style worthy of larger towns, and presentsa neat and commodious interior, adorned with altars andStations of the Cross, which display considerable taste.The building cost upwards of £1,500, and is a lastingmemento of the people's faith and devotion.

THE FIFTH TOUR.JENKINSTOWN.MT will be desirable for the tourist while visiting the •several antiquities of our county to take advantagew*> en route of seeing the numerous splendid countryresidences, so as to render his tour varied and attractive.Jenkinstown Park, about four miles from Kilkenny,the residence of George L. Bryan, Esq., is one ofthose mansions amidst sylvan shades and wooded slopeswhich may be easily passed through on the line to Castlecomer.Jenkinstown House contains a fine painting of theillustrious bishop of the Confederation, David Rothe, andduring the reign of persecution it was made the repositoryfor sacred vessels through the fact of the connection betweenthe Bryan family with Bishop Rothe.After passing through the demesne from the west side, thenatural grotto of our county is just at hand, when you oxitat the east.THE OAVE OF DUNMORE.We have our ancient Irish crosses, our numerous abbeys,our castles, and round towers, and to be short of nothing wehave our cave. The entrance to the Cave of Dunmore isnot visible at any distance, it being in the centre of a fieldshowing no wonderful depression or elevation. It oftenoccurs that when some young men go out from Kilkenny toexplore the Cave, the first preparation for entering, is totake off throe o«>4tj and turn them inside out, that is if theyhad not been previously prepared with some overcoat as aprotection from the dripping and slime of the cave. A large

EGAN'S K1LKENKY UtlUK. 307quantity of lights are also indispensib e, candles being oflittle use by themselves, unless the party has some largeballs of tow, etc., steeped in turpentine or parafin oil tolight up the great vaults and caverns of the interior. A partyof four or five descending the inclined plane of the cavewith torches lighting present quite a funereal aspect.No sooner entered than the " Guide" tells you the nameof the first entrance cavern, and calls it the " fairies' floor."He is bound to explain to you how any quantity of loosestones thrown on that floor, are swept away during thenight, the fairies requiring a comfortable bed.The cave is at first divided into two passages, one on theright hand, which is short, and a continuation of the fairiesfloor. But the real caves are in the passage to the leftwhich branch oft' into two distinct caves, in the shape of theletter Y. Keeping in the Cave to the riyht you will experiencea rather large amonnt of up-hill and down-hill work,the slippery and polished surface of the rocks requiring asure foot to hold its place upon them.We remember a visit once paid to the cave by some boysfrom Kilkenny, when the battle of the " Kilkenny Oats"was near being re-enacted in a dispute about the derivationof the two words Stalactite the calcareous cones from theroof, and Stalagmite the matter rising on the floor. Thiswhite deposit which appears in giant candles from the roof,translucent, faintly yellow ,or opaque, is simply the carbonateof lime which the rain water brings down with itthrough the earth. Proceeding along the passage to theright by gradual ascent, you at last come over the FairyFloor.Retracing your steps to the root of the letter Y, anotherstarting point for the cave to the left, or the north-eastern isr ached. Before proceeding far, when meeting with the

308 EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE.great vaults, a brilliant torch should be struck t oreveal themysteries of the place. These consist of some stalagmitepillars, which rise from the floor to the roof, and are met byothers from the roof to the floor, thus forming figures likethe ghosts of a gigantic creation, which came here to abideindark seclusion. A precipitous ascent about midway willbe necessary, after which the visitor makes his track to thf"well of bones." Since everyone takes away a bone withhim, it is astonishing how any remain. Dipping your handinto the clear cold stream, you feel a little timorous aboutlifting out part of the skull of a deceased " relative," whomay have lived in pagan times. For all that, the bonemay be the jaw of a fox. Yet, no doubt, many remains ofhuman bones lie about, testifying that either a great numberof people must have been put to death there, or perish fromhunger while retreating from danger.Still further on is the rabbit-burrow, so called from thequantity of sand on the floor ; but from all accounts therabbits know too much about the barrenness of the cave totrouble it with many visits.OASTLECOMER.Leaving the Cave, we start on our way to Comer, andthe route passes through the ancient territory'of Idough,the patrimony of the Irish ancient sept, the O'Brenans*The importance of this tribeland is fitly described byO'Heerin :—" Idough of Ossory, of the fertile land,The fair wide plain of the Nore,Throughout this plain rules most activeIts rightful chief, O'Brenan."The O'Brenans, like most of our Irish forefathers, were

BGAN', KILKNNEV GUIDE. 309famous in war, and the battle fought between them and theO'Moores near Timahoe on the " Bloody Road" was mostsanguinary.From the date of the Anglo-Norman invasion the territoryof the O'Brenans became beautifully less, till finally,in 1635; it was decreed by an inquisition that they heldtheir territory only by the strong hand, and were disposessed.In 1640 the property came into the possession ofthe Wandesfordes, Sir Christopher Wandesforde grantingtwenty-one years' purchase to the O'Brenans for the remainderof their territoiy. The legacy having fallen inarrear, the O'Brenans brought on a lawsuit in the reignof Charles II., 1689, and obtained a decree for £170,000sterling.Continued lawsuits under various forms at lastended in diverting the property from the ancient sept of theO'Brenans. Castlecomer is so called from the word" Comber," meaning a town built at the confluence ofrivers. It is a healthy town, the streets very wide, theprincipal houses well kept, and altogether is a pleasant sitefor a town of medium proportions. The drainage is mosteffective, after the newest design, and the water, which flowsin an ever constant fountain in the centre of the town andat the head of the large square, is filtered by the most improvedprocess, after being brought some miles according toa plan laid down by Mr. Walker. Thus Castlecomer hasi.s water - works, which, towns with five times . thepopulation are sadly deficient of. The demesne is wellworth seeing, and a hill near the house of the Wandesfordefamily is pointed out as the ancient fortress or Bailie of theoriginal sept.As to the hospitality of the Comer people, it is heartyand sincere, and requires experioncc of it to be fully realized

3l0KGAN's KILKENNY UUIDK.THECOLLIERIES.It is to Castleconier we owe our fame of having " Fire withoutsmoke." I like other great discoveries, that of finding thecoalfields of Kilkenny occurred by accident. In 1776, Mr.Christopher Wandesford having instituted a search for iron,a coal bed was accidentally found, and thus the principalmineral of which we can boast of is only working about *century and a half.The Kilkenny coal is most useful for malting "purposes,for the forge, for potteries, and for almost all manufacturingoperations. There are numerous fields of the mineral yetuntouched, but when " tapped" by a line of light railway toKilkenny, the developement of the coal traffic to Comer issure to be much larger than through the present medium.When the light railway is run it will certainly have ampleworkfor some time in the removal of the mountains of culmwhich now lie at the pit, while its transport would fulfil thedouble purpose of clearing the surface for mining operations,as well as aid the agriculturist in lime-burning whichis now so much neglected owing to the expense of procuringthe culm.Mr. Joseph Dobbs ownes the Jarrow mine, the coal fromwhich is so much prized. There is also the Clough mineworked by Robson, Grace, and Co. ; the Skahana, by Mr.Robert Hall, and the Moonteen by Messrs. Hall and Dobbs.A run from Comer to Clough, taking in th'e principal coalfields, and seeini; the mining operations, will form an agreeablevariety to the tour.BALLYRAGGET.- Coming home we of course drive to Ballyragget. This is

*EGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE. 311the town which has received, though we admit wrongfully,the epithet of" Cursed Ballyragget that uever gave man relief."Notwithstanding this harsh verdict of the Chronicler, thetourist will receive just as much kind treatment as in anyother part of the world. To understand how this quietlittle town has been so cruelly treated by the application ofsuch an adjective, we must recall something of its history.Ballyragget is so called from Bally meaning a pass,and Ragget a man's name, that is the pass or ford of Ragget.Ragget was an Anglo-Norman who, tradition says, fought abattle with the old Irish across the small river running here,in which Ragijet was worsted ; and a large stone is stillpointed out where Ragget was beheaded. Hence the nameof the town.Ballyragget became the property of

312 KGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.FOULKSRATH OASTLE.This old building is one of the few fortresses still wellkept, and habitable. It lies on the way home, and anevening peep at its ivied tower will not be amiss. It wasformerly the property of the Purcells, a tomb of one of thefamilies being that which we have referred to in our historyof St. John's Abbey.

THE SIXTH TOUR.MOUNT EAGLE.On our way to Freshford we pass by the scenic sp6t, theRock of Mount Eagle, where the rapid howling RiverDinan, rushes to the Nore. The rock- is a steep cliff, fullyone hundred feet high, and seems placed here at this wickedjunction of the waters, to arrest the ravages which mightbe made on softer material. The view over the waste ofwater* is agreeable, with the wools of Dunmore and Jen-'kinstown in the distance, while the breezes which usuallyblow here, are fresh and bracing to the traveller.THREE CASTLES.A stop here will t-i'c•'• a little exploring i ldmtry, lookingover the site of three ancient cxstles, the remains of whichstill exist. In Hood time Three Castles and the vicinitypresent the appearance of a widespread lake.FRESHFORD.The wags formerly looked on Freshford as a " one-horsetown," that is a town having no upstairs. 80 noted wasFreshford for houses having no upper story, that " to be upstairsin Freshford " grew into a proverb, such a phenomenonbeing as rare as to reach the top of St. Paul's in London.Freshford of to-day, has however, well thrown oft'the humbleguise which would give any apology for so vilifying it, asthere are several large houses of good accommodation.An abbey was founded here so far back as 622, by St Lactan,who was the first Abbot. Portion of this building is stillembodied in the old church, having a curious doorway of theRomanesque style. The inscription on the lower band reads :" A prayer for Niam, daughter of Core, and for Mathghamaiu0 Chiarmeic, by whom was made this church."On the upper band the inscription reads :—" A prayer for Gilla Mocholmoc O Cenpucain, who made it,"

EGAN'S KILKENNY GUIDE. 315The word " Chiarmic is evidently the old form of Kerwick,and the lettering belongs to the eleventh century.. The foundations of a cross in the square of the villagemay yet be seen, which was erected by Ellen, daughter ofViscount Mountgarret, and wife to Sir Lucas Shee of UpperCourt, who died in 1622, to whose memory the monumentwas erected.Upper Court is an historical mansion or castle, as it wasoriginally built by Hugh Mapleton, Bishop of Ossory, in1251, Freshford being then attached to St. Canice's as a prebend.Bishop de Ledrede wrote many of his letters, whileprosecuting Alice Kytler, the witch, from his palace at" Athur," this being the name by which Freshford was thenknown.The modern building of Upper Court is a spacious mansion of splendid architecture, built by ilr. Eyre not manyyears ago, and the walks and grounds attached are in keepingwith the picturesqueness of the village.The north west of our county has hud some fine castlesbuilt there, the object being to protect the estates of theNorman settlers from incursions from the borders. Thetwo fortresses, Balleen Castle and Glashare Castle will comewithin the route of the tourist on the way to Ballyspellan.FERTAGH ROUND TOWER.An ancient church was here founded by St. Kieran. In1150 O'Loughlan, Sovereign of Ireland, marched intoLeinster to subdue the native princes, and his route layalong by Durrow, Cullohill, Coolcashon, and Fertagh.Coming to the above steeple he burst the door and sot thebuilding on lire, which split the steeple, as it may now beseen from the top to the foundation,

31GEGAN's KILKENNY GUIDE.BALLYSPELLAN.Coming to the end of our tours, it is well after the severalrather lengthy trips of pleasure that we have had, at lastto arrive upon a spot where we can recruit our health, and,as we are told, "refine our blood."v" All you that would refine your bloodAs pure as famed Llewellyn,By waters clear, come every yearTo drink at Ballyspellin." Though drops}' fills you to the gills,From chin to toe though swelling,Pour in, pour out, you cannot doubtA cure at Ballyspellin."The iron spa of Johnstown, or Ballyspellan, was longsince famous for the curative properties of its mineralwaters. These springs at first collect in the limestone hillsof Clomanto, and after filtering through their upper beds,pass into the ferruginous slate, where they take up the ironby the aid of the carbonic acid gas which ti:i y bring from thelimestone. These waters have been pronounced by eminentmedical opinion as curative in some of the most troublesomediseases, including dropsy. The Johnstown hotel willbe found giving ample accommodation, and the stay at theSpa must prove one of happy reminiscences to the visitor.TULLAROAN.Returning via Tullaroan we may pass tire castles ofClomanto. Tubrid, and Ealief.Tullaroan is the ancient country of the Graces, who wereBarons of Tullaroan and Courtstown., This territory wasanciently the property of Diarmid M'Murrough, King ofLeinster. It then passed to Strongbow by marriage, andlie bestowed it on Raymond Le Gros, one of his followers.In 1701 the Grace's forfeited lands and castle by their ad-* hesion to the cause, of James II. The castle of Courtstownno longer exists, but is said to have been founded coevalwith the Court-house, Kilkenny, in 12ul, a date which isnot authenticated.

It invigorates and promotes perspiration, and is a warm stomachicbeverage, as sparkling and clear as champagne; has a most agreeable odour, is perfectlyfree from any intoxicating quality, besides being pleasant to the taste, and pnssessing adelicious "bouquet." It has an advantage overall other drinks of the same kind, inasmuchas it does nor deteriorate by being decanted into glass or other jugs, thus permitting theuncorking to be performed away from the table or ball-room without the beverage becomingilat or losing its effervescence—in fact, mary consumers say it is vastly improved after it hasbeen opened some hours; this innate freshness is the result of a process of manufacture, bywhich the Carbonic acid gas becomes thoroughly incorporated with the liquid, and does notimmediately escape on the removal of the cork.
