    (continued from previous page)
    priests during the penal days used say mass in the disstrict of Kilsheelan. When the penal laws were in Clonmel the priests used live in a tunnel under Mr Bagnell's house on the banks of the river Suir. They used also hide in the tombs of graveyards around Clonmel. There is a big cliff at the back of the Comeragh mountains and there the priests used say mass. If a catholic had a horse a Protestant could make him sell it for half the price. There was a sum of money for everyone who brought in a priest or a Bishop.
