    (continued from previous page)
    set out next day and reached the place about ten o'clock in the morning, and worked hard until late in the evening.
    Then he began to feel a pain in his ear, it grew worse and worse and by the time he had the tree dug up he was hardly able to stand. However he got home and went to bed. The doctor came but he did no good, and the man died soon after. It is not right to till a rath, or dig up a tree or bush in one.
