iel Benech being apprehended, had his nose slit, his ears cut off,
and was then divided into quarters, each quarter being hung upon a
tree, and Mary Monino, had her jaw bones broke and was then left to
languish till she was famished.

Mary Pelanchion, a handsome widow, belonging to the town of Villaro, was
seized by a party of the Irish brigades, who having beat her cruelly,
and ravished her, dragged her to a high bridge which crossed the river,
and stripped her naked in a most indecent manner, hung her by the legs

Mary Nigrino, and her daughter who was an idiot, were cut to pieces in
the woods, and their bodies left to be devoured by wild beasts: Susanna

Paul Armand was hacked to pieces; a child named Daniel Bertino was
burnt; Daniel Michialino had his tongue plucked out, and was left to
perish in that condition; and Andreo Bertino, a very old man, who was
