  1. A man in the parish of Glin, had a cow which had no milk after calving. He was very surprised, and stayed up at night, to see what was milking the cow.
    When he went out, he saw a hare milking her. He fired at the hare. The hare ran into a fort nearby. The man followed, and saw to his surprise, a bleeding woman crying bitterly. The cow died soon afterwards.
