| "FAIR DAY," NEW ROSS, CO. WEXFORD.- The grandfathers of the sturdy country people shown in the sketch, attending to the onerous duties imposed on seller and buyer on "Fair Day" in nearly all Irish towns of any importance, made a very different use of horned cattle in the streets of New Ross a hundred years ago. It is stated by some historians of the great rebellion that the insurgents drove before them, at the points of their pikes, a herd of bullocks (steers) and, thereby, threw into confusion the English artillery that defended Three Bullet Gate. |
