    “There is a farm in Glenagannon which at present belongs to Charles Farren.”

    There is a farm in Glenagannon which at present belongs to Charles Farren. But at the time I am going to tell about it belonged to Gibbons. There was a house on the farm in which they lived. A few yards away from the house they dug a hole to make a cesspool. After they had done this they could not get sleeping at night with all the strange noises, singing and all kinds of music around the house. till at last they were obliged to fill up the hole again.
