The accusation of Mahowne Mc Gillowoile of Kalloraghis
taken before me: October ye 22th: 1636
Who saieth that about 20 years ago Danniell Annierie Mc Nemarra of
Drumquin did steal 2 horses from Mahon Mc Enerhiny of Ballekilltie; his
cause of knowledge is because one John Mc Moiler, and Teige Mc Donnell
Leagh and Teig O Tarmon came unto him, and told him that horses were
stolen, and the track left upon of his land, and unless he could put the track
of his land, he should be liable to pay for the horses, whereupon he following
the track with the rest, found the said Danniell Annierie with the said
horses in a bush, and being apprehended, and brought before a Justice of
peace confessed the fact, and was presently sent to prison: and saieth that at
the next Assizes himself gave evidence for his Ma ts against the said Danniell,
& after he went away heard that the said Danniell was condemned.
The accusation of Thomas Mc Redmund of Castletowne taken as aforesaid
Who saith that he hath heard as a general report both from the said Mahowne
Mc gillowoile and others that the said Danniell Annierie did steale 2 horses
from Mahon Mc Inernhiny: and as he heard he was arraigned and condemned
but who were judges [at] that assize, or shirriff that year, he remembeth not:
and further he saith that when Captain Norton was then seneschal for that
manor of Bunrattie under the late Earl of Thomond, the said Earle did give
Captain Norton a warrant to enter upon ye said Danniell Annierie’s lands of
the cartron of Drumquin, whereupon Captain Norton gave a warrant unto this
deponent and Walter Mc Tybott (then his Lord’s servants for the said manor) to
take possession for his Lords use, which they did and kept possession thereof
a month, and then gave it up unto Roarie mc Donnogh Mc Shidae upon conviction,
to redeliver it again, except the said Danniell Annierrie agreed with
the said Earle for the land. After this the said Danniell gave this Deponent a
pied ox to move his lordship that he should enjoy the land during his own life,
