- (continued from previous page)the mill stopped.
- One night Tom Cleary and another man were looking for rabbits in Fagans field. They had the nets staked in the ground they heard a crowd of horses coming galloping and they ran to the nets to take them up out of the way for fear the horses would break them.
When the horses passed they set the nets again as soon as they had them set they heard them coming again but could not see them taking up the nets the horses passed by but they could not see them. They left the nets by the ditch. They started off after them around the field but could not see them when they came near. Then they stood outside a gate and the horses came again and jumped the gate. - Informant
