- (continued from previous page)Denis Browne used hang the blacksmiths for making pikes. There was a man called Bane who was a blacksmith and he used to make pikes. At last he was caught and brought to prison and when he was asked who he made the pikes for he would not tell them so they thought of his son who was at home. Browne said that the son would tell rather than be hanged. When the son heard that Browne was going to arrest him he went to the Blakes that night and knocked at the door. When Blake heard the knock he said "It's Bane from Dunmacreena or the devil from hell." When the Blake opened the door and Bane told him that Browne was going to hang him and his father, Blake ordered his carriage and he went to Claremorris. When he knocked at the barrick door Browne was not in and Blake got an axe and let out all that were inside. Browne was hiding upstairs because he knew that Blake would kill him.(continues on next page)
