Darby Brenann of Kilnew and Denis Kavanagh Killincooley "fell out" at this fair and both agreed to fight the matter out the succeeding Sunday evening. They were to meet at a little stream at Ballinalask the boundary of their respective parishes.

They met but behind each were the young bloods of his whole parish. The "Cuirim ort" was one to cross the stream into the other's territory. None crossed and so there was no fight. The Blackwater people tell me they overawed their enemies by their numbers and determination but I havn't heard the other side.
