    Tramps come to my house very often. There names are as followers. Butt McHugh comes very often, he comes from Quin. All the people give him money, he drinks stout and he talks very loud when he is drunk. He is very good to speak Irish. When he was young he learned a lot of Irish.

    Mick Barret.
    Mick Barret comes on a donkey and car. He would take potatoes, and turnips. Bottles and rabbits - skins and everything he would get and bring them to the city to make make money.
