Hi,

The line in Lanigans ball -

"and cried 'Meelia Murther'"

What does it mean ?

Boys were all merry and the girls they were hearty And danced all around in couples and groups, 'Til an accident happened, young Terrance McCarthy Put his right leg through miss Finnerty's hoops. Poor creature fainted and cried, ``Meelia murther,'' Called for her brothers and gathered them all. Carmody swore that he'd go no further 'Til he had satisfaction at Lanigan's Ball.

Cheers

Sean
