Carlow Volunteers

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.
