 Castle Morres, Newmarket, &c., drawing Kiltorcan, 

 Sir John's gorse, and Lower Killeen, as well as 

 Wynne's gorse, Carricktriss, &c. Wynne's gorse 

 received its name from the fact that an officer named 

 Wynne, of the 68th Light Infantry, quartered in Kil- 

 kenny, and who hunted much with the Kilkennies 

 and took a great interest in the sport, selected the

 bog," the name of the townland on which it is 

 planted. Both Sir John Power and Lord Waterford
