    the hand was never seen there again. There was another Leprechaun in Rosebery Ballymoe Co. Galway and every dark night he was seen bringing his horse from one side of the road to the other. One day a man saw him under a tree and he stole on him and caught him and brought him home and put one half down for his dinner and left the other in a press and the next day he could not get it but when he was a long time looking for it he got it in another press.
