The Statement of James Chancey
Late Servant Man to Dr Edward Heath of Rathvilly
The said James Chancey Having been fully and
duly cautioned Saith I was living in Rathvilly,
about 6 months ago, I went to the house of Patt Ward in
Rathvilly. I cannot tell the day but Bridget Dempsey
asked me to go with her one night to Mr Morton of
McLucas, she said she was going to her sisters who lives
at Mr Mortons for some milk, I went with her and when I
went near the house I said I would help these …..,
she came out, she prompted me to go forward, I did so
and I saw her go into the cow house and I heard her
milking the cow into the tin can, when she came out she
had about half the can full of milk, I returned with her
to Rathvilly, she wanted me to drink some of the milk, I
refused and went home. Not long after that, I was in
Lowry Fowleys house in Rathvilly when I heard him and
Margaret and Ellen Dempsey plotting to go to Mr Mortons
to heal or steal a lamb, I cannot tell if they went for
the lamb or not. After the milking of the cow I was
returning to Baltinglass for my share when I overtook,at
a late hour of the night, Bridget and Ellen Dempsey and
Lowry Foley towards the Mote of Rathvilly. Bridget
Dempsey saw me, she was going to her sisters at Mr
Mortons who sent for her, she did not tell me for what.
I accompanied them to a lane turning down to Mr Mortons,
they …….. with these until they came back. I ……. These
and when they came back which they did in about half an
hour, they had with them a large silver spoon and a
quantity of meal, either Barley or bone meal, cannot
tell, which appeared to be about a one case.
Page 2 continued
To Rathvilly, they hid some of
the meal, he did not return in company with them, they,
moving across the field, I went that road, they did not
bring all the meal to
Fowleys house all the meal I saw with them, which makes
me say they hid some of it, when they brought it with
Foley, they divided what they had. I heard them say they
broke open the door. I believe Lowry Fowley to be a night walker. I
have frequently seen him returning at late hours of the
night with potatoes I never heard what they did with the
silver spoon.
