  1. A free mason was staying in Limerick one time he had his head out the window and saw another man crossing the street at a distance. He wanted to play a trick on him so he put a lake in front of him. The man in the street looked around and saw this man with his head out the window of the hotel and there and then he put a pair of horns on him. So the fellow on the top could not pull in his head and had to clear the way for the man on the street. It seems that the man on the street was a free mason too.
