The master of the plantation noticed that his daughter, Eliza, was interested in Dearbhla's son, and the boy seemed to be interested in Eliza. The master of the plantation had men grab the boy at night and brand his chest with the same brand used on the plantation's horses. Then the overseer whipped him on the wound.
