ABOUT a Cortnight after the summer assizes held at Dungannon, A.D. 1614. this deponent. with one Dermot McRedmond Moyle in his company, came to the house oC Art Oge McDonnei O'Neil chanceably at a time when those therein were at maee. They Cound the door shut, and two men keeping it, called Hugh Moyna McGillpatrick and Hugh Moyna MacArt, who know. this deponent and his companion, and let iliem into the house, where they found the friar O'Mnllarky saying m..... who was la:eIy come thither out oC Tyrccnnell. The hearers were Brian Crossagh O'Neil, Art Oge O'Neil McDonnel, and his two broth... ; Owen McPhelimy. 8heelr ity Hosye, wife to the said Art. ' Ould' Donnel O'Neil, rather to the said Art, and the priest MacMurphew. Emmt. only stayed within while he said his pray.... and came out oC the house within a litUe while. and Cormac MacRedmond Moyle followed him BOon after. At this emmt.·. going out oC the house the priest MacMurphew called after him, saying, • Dermot. y"" are maki7I!J great halte oot of the hoose.' To which this examt. answered him that he had some busin8BB without, and that he could stay no longer in the company. The priest then said to this examt-, 'II is flO matter whethBr we ."er , .. any of ytnJr malter', ...... or fIOl,' meaning the king'•• as this deponent expounded it. Then said Brian Crossagh to ilie priest. which words this deponent overheard. 'H. .hall a ......... for this anolhBr day.' • MSS. .T.e.D. FoI. 3, 16. YOL, D, B t. \ 258 TilE ImSII MASSACRES OF H141. Then this examt. went on his way with Cormac McRedmond Moyle towards the house of Brian Crossagh, and on the way met Owen McFerdoragh Ony Maguire, who, after holding some short communication with them, they telling him what they were doing at Art Oge's house, went &long with them to Brian Crossagh's house, but before they got there Brian himself overtook them, and said to this examt. that • tMy did ill to flu from God'. .e7"l1ic6; to which this examt. answered, that· they did not flee from God', service, but from the troubles of this wewld, which he Juul lae.ly ttuted enough of.' And this the examt. said further to Brian, • If thou wilt gwe me a I>wieng I to be thy friend, I will gwe thee a I>wieng to be my J"r'Wnd.' Then Brian Crossagh answered, he would take no buieng of this examt., but then presently after gave him hi. sword, bidding this examt. say, if he were asked how he came by it, that he got it at play: whereupon this examt., taking the sword, said he would refuse nothing that came to him in God's name. And so taking his leave this examt., with Cormac McRedmond Moy.le and Owen McFerdoragh Boy, went to the house of one Brian Maguire, which was not far off, where they had not stayed long when Brian Crossagh O'Neil sent for them to come back again, and on their w.. y back this examt. said to his companion, • I am afraid Brian will take back the swewd from me, and therefewe I will hide it; and so this examt.
