Extract from Browne-Clayton Papers:

Kallender of Prisoners in Custody of Philip Newton, Esquire, High Sheriff of Carlow. 6th day of October 1796

Edward Byrne fined two marks and to give Security to be of the Peace for seven years.

John Rourke guilty of assault, fined one mark (13 shillings and 4 pence) and then discharged.

Thomas Deer found guilty of two assaults and to be imprisoned for a fortnight, fined six pence.' This also tells us Thomas was a blacksmith.

Following the 1798 rebellion men in the area made the statements such as the following made by Thomas Deer. (records found in UK by and held by Mick Purcell):

'Thomas Deer of Bridewell Lane, Dealer, Sworn by his brother John Deer of Cockpit lane, had a pike and gave to Mr. Nowland, the priest and requires a protection.'

Thomas's son James raised his own family on Pollerton Road. (Source: Kristian Markus)

Note:

I believe that the "Mr. Nowland the priest" mentioned was likely the Reverend Doctor Nicholas Nowland who was leasing a large piece of land from the Leckys in the Ballon area in 1787 and was also the Parish Priest of Ballon in the 1780s.
