  3. There was a man named Buckey Hynes who lived below the town of Loughrea. He was a great thief and the penalty that was put on him was to let the hounds chase him. They started him from Knockbarren hill and he bested them in Athenry. He went into a yard called Blackhalls and he got out the other side on a step ladder.
