  1. Once Joe Daly was going down to the bottoms to look at the horses, and he fell between the stucks of turf and he got up but could not find his coat and he kept searching till he got tired.
    He started for home and lost his way and he thought he crossed the foot stich and he said,
    "I will get out on the road and go into Nugents. When he got out on the road and went into Nugents and when he went into the house he was at Mc.Donalds in Ballyconnell, four miles from the bottoms.
