Battles were fought at the collecting of tithes. There was a battle fought in Augharan in which three Catholics and four Protestants were killed. Once Eager sold a field for a year to a man. The man put potatoes in it. He bought the same field the next year. He dug the field for potatoes; so that the furrow the second year was where the ridge was the first year. When he had the field finished, he had a ridge less than the first year. He told this to Eager and said that some one must have moved in the ditch. Eager gave him a ridge in another field. Then the man dug the two brows against the ridge and he had a ridge more than he should have.
