    Further to the "Pattern of Croom." song, on page 99 :
    There was one from Askeaton, another from Foynes,
    Another from Tarbert my young heart beguiled,
    As she was from the mountains her stockings were white
    *Agus fágaimís suid mar athá sé.
    (Mce. Devaney and Tim Hedermann)
    * Alternative to last line: And they all advised me to marry.

    Among other subjects which used to be discussed round our fireside I remember that the hanging of Fr. Sheehy supplied much talking material. All I can now recall is that everyone of the jurymen got his "blessing." Ponsonby who lived at Kilcooly near us, was locally known as Ponsonby-Barker because some one of his progenitors, having as juryman hanged Fr. Sheehy, "died barking like a dog." Another, Maude of Dundrum, "grew a tail", another still, whose name I forget, "ate his boots for tripe" and a Kavanagh lost his arms and legs and was known by the nickname of "Stumpy". Despite his want of legs and arms I used hear it "that he rode to the hunt in a chair" and that he had also mechanism to enable him to shoot.
