I must tell of one such complaint and inquiry, because in its result I think it was emblematic of many. A gentleman in county Cavan had complained most bitterly of the injury done to him by some arrangement of the Post Office.
Two small pieces of artillery and several horses fell into the hands of the conquerors.

He was elected member for the borough of Cavan in the summer of 1709; and in the journals of two sessions his name frequently occurs. Some of the entries appear to indicate that he so far overcame his timidity as to make speeches.
The eye of the inspired orator, pleading the cause of all the souls that hereafter, till the end of time, might inhabit the land, could discern within the spring-day horizon, the course of the Blackwater and the Boyne before they blend into one; the hills of Cavan to the far north; with the royal hill of Tailtean in the foreground; the wooded heights of Slane and Skreen, and the four ancient roads, which led away towards the four subject Provinces, like the reins of empire laid loosely on their necks.
