There were no evictions in North or South Horsemount. There were no battles fought about the paying of the tighs in this district. It was Mrs Cotter that was the head-landlord before Mr Drin.
- There was a Hedge school in the townland of Baunreigh.
A man named Jerry Sullivan taught there. He was a native of Bantry. The scholars paid him 1s-6d per three mts. There were about forty pupils attending the school.
The scholars did their writing with goose quills. There was no blackboards in the school.
The scholars used to sit on stools around the house and when the days were fine the master used to arrange the boys in lines. One line used to be on the bank of the river near my own yard, and the other line on the other bank.
The Hedge school was about 12 yards away from where my house situated.
He had a house of his own and he used to teach in it during the bad weather.
