We read that Owen O'Conor, an apostate, was advanced by letters patent to Killala in 1591; that Maurice O'Brien of Ara was, in 1570, by the same authority, elevated to the See of Killaloe, which he resigned in 1612; that Miler Magrath, in early life a Franciscan friar, was promoted by the Queen to the Sees of Clogher, Killala, Anchory and Lismore successively.
"Good-morning, gentlemen," he said, as he rode up in front of them. "Not to you, Tom Ruger," spoke a tall Ten Miler the only one, by-the-way, who had come out of the previous day's trial unscathed. "Not to you, Tom Ruger! Where's Borlan?" "He's gone down the coast on business," said Ruger, "and may not be back for several months." "We'll not wait for him" was the miner's reply.
