The link above gives dates for Raheen Parish records.  They will hopefully be going free online from 8th July 2015.

Ireland Civil Registrations started in 1864 -   2nd link - also worth trying.

The place name that you found difficult to read is Scotchrath

Also, I think the year is 1863; and possibly the female witness was Catherine not Esther but the writing is quite difficult to read
