Paul Dodd, Mayor of Galway 1656-57. Dodd was sworn into office in September 1656, having been a sheriff under the previous mayor, Humphrey Hurd. He seized a house belonging to John Bodkin, possibly the same man who was Mayor 1639-40, and leased other property he had confiscated from the townspeople. According to William Henry (historian), the new rulers of Galway were crude, lower-class English, who ''"After burning the costly timberwork in one house, they simply moved into the next house leaving them with a poisoning stench of excrement and filth, that it was almost impossible to enter."'' His descendants still live in the town. ==References== *''"History of Galway"'', James Hardiman, 1820 *''"Old Galway"'', Maureen Donovan O'Sullivan, 1942 *''The Tribes of Galway"'', Adrian J.
