ABSTRACT
Connor Ville is situated about 14 miles from Bantry Bay, where a French fleet made its appearance on the 23d of December, 1796. A paper is produced by my son, by which it appeared, that he had called himself Brown, not wishing to give his own name at the pawnbroker’s. A Magistrate of this county having guaranteed the appearance of Mr. Arthur O’Connor, when called on, and his state of health permitting his removal with safety, he was suffered to remain for present at Fort Robert. In the warrants for the arrest of those gentlemen, Mr. Collis, of this city, whose activity as a peace-officer is well known to the Magistrates of head office, Dublin, was named, in conjuntion with Mr. Gilbert, as a special bailiff, and assisted in their execution.”
