1799.

The examination of Sarah Doyle of Ballyb ? [Ballybreen -?]  saith that on 16th December 1799 she was at the house of James Clowry of Ballyb ? on her lawful business when she heard a Great Noise out side the House, being curious to know what occasioned the noise she went out of the House she saw Simon Mitchell running out of Thomas Clowry's House and Thomas Clowry's wife Catherine Clowry chasing Mitchell with a stick in her hand as soon as she overtook Mitchell she struck him several blows of the stick on the head and shoulders.

Thomas Clowry ran up to assist his wife Catherine Clowry to beat and Abuse Mitchell and dragged him about the Barn then Mitchell cryed out your Strikeing me and Chokeing me.~  with that Sarah Doyle Roared out "Murder - won't somebody save the boy" with that Thomas Clowry turned about and ran at her and struck her in the nose and nocked a part of the skin off and Caused her Blood to gush forward and Sarah Doyle further Saith that if it had not been for the interference of James Clowry that prevented the said Thomas Clowry  from Strikeing her Several times after - Sarah Doyle Verily Believes that Thomas Clowry would have used most inhumanly.
