He thinks everyone must be fond of me. 'Then I think he is a fool. 'Hearest thou? said Lurgan Sahib to the shaking shoulders. 'The Sahib's son thinks thou art a little fool.
In 1699 he brought over a brilliant young Irishman, James Logan from Lurgan, who for nearly half a century occupied a leading position in the Province and for some time was its governor.
