  1. There was a man who lived in Sixmilebridge. He had a pony and car, and he had only a half an acre of ground to feed the pony.
    In the night time he used put the pony into his neighbors field, in the day-time he took him out of the field and put him into the house and gave him hay.
    This man used steal hay from Mount Ivers. One night this man went for the hay.
    He gathered the hay, but , when he had it filled he made an effort to put it on his back but was unable.When he was unable to take the hay he waited until three or four in the morning.
    While he was waiting a man came walking around the place.
