The Constitution or Cork Morning Post, 4 September 1822 -- On Thursday a gentleman who had been to Donnybrook Fair, gave his horse to a boy named Dennis Kavanagh, for the purpose of leaving him at his residence near Dundrum.--When about midway between Windy Arbour and the latter place, the horse took fright, and the poor boy endeavoured to alight, in attempting which his foot got entangled in the stirrup leather, and he was dragged along the ground for near a quarter of a mile, the horse galloping at a furious rate, until stopped a short distance beyond Dundrum. When the boy was disentangled the face presented a horrible spectacle, and so disfigured that it could not be recognised by his agonised parents, whose feelings our sympathising readers may more easily conceive than we could attempt to describe. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
