- (continued from previous page)and for Minister Braden who lived in Beachmount. The tithes were collected in kind, The tithe proctor proceeded from Rathdowney to Bawnaughra to collect the tithes. From every house in which he didn't get money or kind he took a bundle of clothes. He had so much clothes on himself and the horse that he was like a cock of hay.
The first house that he went to in Bawnaughra was Martin Dalton's. He demanded the tithes money or value. Martin had a sire horse which he let loose.
