    In the morning when the people rose they found the man in the public house. They sent for the police. The said he would be hanged for house breaking.
    When they were going to hang him to the tree, the Queen of the fairies whispered in his ear. He gave a wrench and pulled the tree with him and alighted back at his own house.
