One morning her neighbour was catching the horse and he got a spancel lost that she used have stealing the butter. He brought it home and put it under a barrel near the window. Next harvest when he was feeding the cows the rope broke and he sent his son to get the spancel and he could not lift the barrel. Then he told his wife and she could not. Himself tried it and when he lifted the barrel it was full of butter and the spancel was on the side of the butter. It happened in Kilmaley.
