- (continued from previous page)a poor man who took the pig home, and killed it. A few days after the minister was standing at his own gate when he saw the man's son go past. He heard the boy saying. "My father stole the minister's saw, and we'll have some pies and puddings now". The minister said to the boy that he would give him a new suit and a shilling if he would say that in Court.
When court day came, the boy went up on the witness box and said, "As I was passing the minister gate" "I saw the minister kissing his maid" "He gave me a shilling not to tell" "And a suit of clothes which fits me well".
One night a man was returning home from the fair, and heard a person walking after him, and as he was walking the person was getting up to him. At last he looked back, and what was behind him, but a donkey. And he said, "the curse of Moll Kelly upon you".
