 In May 1815, the authorities re-established control of the Urris Hills when General Dalziel led a military force into the valley and brought this short period of self-rule to an end.Subsequently, this period was later known as the time of the "Poitin Republic of Urris".The term "Poitin Republic" appears to be a 20th-century invention, which was first used in the 1920s.
