    the priest would depart but before ging it was the custom for him to divide a bottle of whiskey amongst the neighbours. This bottle (or perhaps bottles) was got specially for the occasion and and it was given to the priest to distribute. He took a glass and poured it out and gave it to the people who drank his health. After the priest's departure the neighbours would all gather in and sing, dance and make merry till morning.
