  1. There lived in Carrigeen a farmer by the name of John Murphy who went by the name of Seán Mhuppucú he owned a handsome farm. Now Buckley was very anxious to covet this farm. When time came for paying the rent, the agent refused in accepting it. Seán went on several occassions with the money in his pocket and it would not be taken. Seán got six days to clear out but he did not comply with this order. Finally the sheriff and his men came along and evicted Seán. Now Seán built a hut in Doran's farm and lived there for a short time. Seán was a very wicked man and used very severe threats to Buckley and his agents and to get rid of him Buckley gave him a small sum of money which took him to America.
