Note 191 — Chapter L · JAMES II. IN IRELAND, 1689
Reading edition
Exact Relation, ut sup. Orpen says eight families were detained by the Irish officers ‘as slaves to work for them at their iron-works, which none of the natives were skilful in.’ Fifteen hundred pounds worth of bar and pig iron was left behind. There is a picture of the ‘white house’ of Killowen in its present ruined state in Fitzmaurice’s Life of Petty.
