    He came home so the next night he went to the lake to look for a donkey. There was a lot of men with horses and carts drawing stones to build a house. They were saying "That is another load for Barney". As he was returning home he was arrested by men dressed in police uniform and kept till daylight appeared.
    The following day he went to the fair of Bunlahy to buy another mare. He met the man to whom he sold the other one. He asked him how did he like her. The man asked him which of the eyes he saw him with. He told him so he left his finger over his eye and he never saw with that eye after.
