    William Bartnett lived in Shean[?] One day there was a fair in Conna. He was said to jump from Twomeys Gate over the Bridge and into Roches Gardens at the other side. He also jumped out of his sick bed and threw a weight weighing a cwt up against a wall and no one ever since could put the weight as high. There also lived a woman named Joan Downing. She lived in Marstown. She used bring a pail of water on her head while knitting.
