    whose name was Mr. Quigley after the hounds one time. The hounds were after a fox and followed him over a fence. When the huntsman followed over the fence he leaped out beside a leipreachán. The leipreachán was soleing a pair of boots. The hunter said that he never saw a pair of boots soled as well before. The leipreachán said that it was nothing to what was going on behind him. The hunter looked behind him and he saw nothing, and when he looked back again the leipreachán was gone.
