- In the penal days a priest named O’Muhan lived at Manorhamilton. The English soldiers were in persuit of him. He hid in a furrow of a potatoe field, the name of the town land was lark-field. The soldiers passed through the field and one of them saw him and at that moment his heart was moved to pity and did not tell on him. A few days after the priest met the man and the man said to the priest that he has seen him. The priest said he could not have seen him as the man was a protestant . The priest went to the protestant man’s house and the protestant man’s nurse told the priest after a long time that when the protestant was a boy he was dying and the nurse had him brought to a catholic priest and had him baptised without the without the knowledge of his father or mother.
