This is a story which happened in Tulla where the O'Carrols were the owners of the place. They had a very big orchard which was enclosed by a stone wall about ten feet high. There was a door entering it and there were several windows in the wall. The fruit that this orchard produced was beautiful.It happened that about eight men who knew the place planned to make a raid on the orchard by night. They went, but when they went to pick the apples not one was to be seen. This gave them a great surprise for they knew that the trees were loaded with apples that day. They got afraid, but when they turned to go home they saw a big black dog coming running down the orchard, which hunted them out of it. The dog was not kept by the O'Carrols it was four brown dogs that were kept.
