Walkers Hibernian Magazine
Carlow July 12, 1785.
This day the volunteers of this County, with
some corps from the Queen's County, and county
of Kildare, were reviewed on the field of
Pollarton; at twelve o'clock, Sir Charles
Burton, the reviewing general, came to the
field, attended by Lieutenant Colonel Doyne,
Majors Bunbury and Dillon. There were present
most of the principal gentlemen of the county;
the troops went through their evolutions and
firings to the perfect satisfaction of the
general, and the numerous spectators. The day
was remarkably fine; the review ended at half
past three o'clock; several of the distant corps
were hospitably entertained by the general, in
tents pitched in his lawn.
