    Another night Leary was going to a fair in Macroom. He left the house at two o'clock in the night. He was driving cattle out before him. As he was going east from Rathmore village he looked behind him and he saw two women after him. They kept the same distance behind him all the time. They followed him on until he reached Macroom.
