for Joseph.]

[Don't ask about this Information but
Mick thinks there is a "bit of skullduggery" afoot to stop the
authorities taking a cow for the non-payment of rent by Thomas
Date, a Stamp
[ a
form ] will be produced to the Magistrate stating that the rent
has been paid.]

The Information of John Byrne of [ ? ]

Evaneglists Saith that in the latter end of the month of July
last he was in a field on the lands of Knockindrain, Carlow when
Thomas Date of Knockindrain and Arthur Byrne of Balinree, Carlow
came up to him and told him that they had been summoned to
appear before a Magistrate about the distraining and canting of
the Cow belonging to Samuel Nowlan of Knockindrain, but that
they would fill up a blank Stamp (which Thomas Date then
produced) with an authority for Thomas Date and that they would
defy those who had summoned them.
John Byrne Saith that he advised Thomas
Date and Arthur Byrne not to risk their necks by doing such a
thing, but Thomas Date replied that it would be so done and that
no one could find them out and that John Nowlan would back them
on it.
John Byrne further Saith that Thomas
Date shewed the Stamp filled up and purporting to be signed by
John Nowlan and witnessed by Michael O'Neill to him on the
