    Peter Chakey is an old man that goes about in this district. He lives around Bally-james-duff. It was in the past few years he started com-ing. He never shows up any-thing for sale.
    Brian Dunn is another old man that goes about in this district. He has certain houses to call to. Bottels and potatoes he usually brings. He is very religious. It is said that he was going on for the Church, but in a game of football accidently killed a man, and ever since it went on his mind. He has a little house over in Killenkere.
