  1. It was November's night about six years ago. Two men were coming from Clifden in a cart, the two men were drunk. On their way from Clifden they went into a house for a drink of water. When the lads saw the two men going into the house they took the horse and cart to the garage and they made two holes in the door. They then put the horse into the garage and put the two shafts into the two holes. One of them went into the garage and tied the horse to the cart. Off with them them then. In half an hour the two men came out, and when they saw the cart without the horse they were boiling with temper.
