Major Paisley to keep the road with eighty hone in four ranks at the .side of the hill which

 pursued in disorder till they perceived the rest of the horse in eleven battalions which 



untered them fiercely ; bnl - S| H> Irish musqueteera coming up by the side of a ditch 

 had like to ruin all if i laptain Paisley with my own troop had not leaped over the ditch 

 and defeated them with the hundred men on the spot. However, the Irish 



fought so well that one troop ran away to Castlemartyr with the news that all was lost, 

 but the rest st.».d to it >.. well tliat w( gained a noble victory, and if we had but 500 foot 

 we might defeat their whole army, and bad done it as it was but for an Irish sergeant 

 with forry musqueteen, who, being posted in the wood, tired so often as though tluir 

 whole foot were there. We did not lose one officer, and had only a few wounded. My 

 horse was shi t in the neck. The men had been twelve hours either marching, drawing, 

 or fighting. R though drunk, killed nine that day with his own hand; his 



drunkenness was due to two tumblers of Itigley ale which he had from an Irish Sutler."
