Cork Tithe Defaulters for 1831 - Killeagh Parish
Affidavit: Killeagh Parish
Memorialist processed several of those indebted to him for Tythes due for the
year 1831, and obtained decrees against them at the Sessions of the Peace held
at Mallow, 2nd April last, for East Riding County Cork - that on executing of
these Decrees his men were nearly destroyed by a Mob with stones and large Dogs,
and one cow being taken no purchasers could be found but the owner of the Cow
who gave a few shillings for her, that all the Cattle of the others decreed were
instantly removed, and could not since be found by Memorialist. That Memorialist
applied to his Parishioners frequently for payment of their dues, on the most
lenient Terms but the Intimidation and terror has been, and now is so great,
caused by the violent Resolutions entered into at the Various Mulcitudinous
meetings held in the neighbourhood of memorialist’s said Parish, and where his
parishioners were obliged to attend, that they have universally declared, they
would never under any Shape pay a farthing of arrears; and as a strong and
decisive proof of the above Statement, Rev. James Pratt, whose name will
be found in the annexed Schedule, has by his Steward, Refused to pay his Arrears
- Memorialist further states that not a Man in his Employment would execute a
Decree, or serve a Process of law for Recovery of Arrears for Tythes, he would
Risque his destruction - so that memorialist is left without any means of
obtaining his dues and the Parishioners openly, declare it is in vain to
distrain for no purchasers would dare to appear, and that they would hot even
pay Government, but would sooner fight than pay arrears for Tyth - and
Memorialist lastly declares, the excitement in his, Parish is so great at
present that his own Safety is somewhat endangered by the Application for Relief
he hereby makes, although he never had these thirty years any difference or
Dispute with any parishioner, but on the Contrary has lived, on the most
peacable and friendly Terms, with all classes in his said parish where he has
constantly resided.
