    "2nd November 1937.
    There are two forges in the parish of Pallasgreen.
    One of the forges is situated in Old Pallas, the other is situated in New Pallas.
    The smith in the forge in Old Pallas is Michael O'Brien and the smith in New Pallas is Martin McInerney.
    I know more about the forge in New Pallas than the forge in Old Pallas. Martin McInerney is the smith in the forge in New Pallas. His father his grandfather and his brother were smiths.
