    136 Penal Times (Peter Smyth)
    James Chapman turned Protestant in the Penal times. Three Protestant people from Dublin came to him and said if he would not turn Protestant they would take his farm off him. He said he would.
    Before this they asked Johnny Keelan and James Hunter to turn Protestant and they would not. They lived beside Chapman's house. They put them out of their houses and lands and gave them to Chapman. Every night after that Hunter and Keelan would break Chapman's windows, and annoy him all night.
    After one month Chapman gave them back their lands.
