The priest looked at it, and at once replied, "It is goin' to Bryan M'Mahon, of Ahadarra, the traitor, and it comes from Major Vanston, the enemy to his liberty and religion, that his infamous vote put into Parliament, to rivet our chains, and continue our degradation. So there, girl, you have now the bigot from whom it comes, and the apostate to whom it goes. Who gave it to you?"
Hycy Burke that gave the Hogans the money to make the Still, set it up and to Teddy Phats to buy barley; and although he didn't tell them it was to ruin Bryan M'Mahon he did it, sure they all knew it was 'spishly when he made them change from Glendearg above, where they were far safer, down to Ahadarra."
"You certainly did not mention them exactly; but, do you think I did not know at once both the place and the party you allude to? My word and honor, I saw them at a glance." "Very well, go on with your word and honor; you are right, I did mean M'Mahon and Ahadarra proceed, most accomplished, and most moral " "Be quiet, Harry.
The Still was on the fire half filled with water, the Head was on the Still, and the Worm was attached to the Head precisely as if they were in the process of distillation. "Ay," said Clinton, on seeing how matters stood, "I think I understand this affair. It's a disappointment in one sense but a sure enough card in another. The fine is certain, and Ahadarra is most undoubtedly in for it."

For many a long year has our names been but no matther the time is come at last, and the M'Mahon's of Carriglass and Ahadarra will be known there no more.
He went to his office or study, and, after some search, returned and handed the other a written promise of the leases of Ahadarra and Carriglass, respectively, to Thomas M'Mahon and his son Bryan, at a certain reasonable rent offered by each for their separate holdings.
In addition, however, to all we have already detailed, as affecting the neighborhood of Ahadarra, we have to inform our readers that the tenantry upon the surrounding property were soon about to enjoy the luxury of a contested election. Chevydale had been the sitting member during two sessions of Parliament.
"So, uncle, now that you have been promoted to the Supervisorship, you abandon the farm; you abandon Ahadarra?" "Why, won't I be out of the district, you blockhead? and you persist in refusing it besides." "Most positively; but I always suspected that Fethertonge was a scoundrel, as his conduct in that very business with you was a proo hem, ahem."
"I scarcely know," replied Bryan, who now began to feel nothing but kindness towards Hycy, in consequence of the interest which that young fellow evidently took in his misfortune, for such, in serious truth, it must be called. "I am the only proprietor of Ahadarra," he proceeded, "and, as a matter of course, the whole fine falls on my shoulders."
On the second morning after the night described in the last chapter, Bryan M'Mahon had just returned to his father's house from his farm in Ahadarra, for the purpose of accompanying him to an Emigration auction in the neighborhood. The two farms of Carriglass and Ahadarra had been in the family of the M'Mahon's for generations, and were the property of the same landlord.
