  1. There was a hedge school in Michael Brady's land in the village of Rushill in the parish of Balla, Co. Mayo.
    This hedge school was held under a hedge.
    I do not know what the master's name was.
    They spoke English as well as they knew it.
    The master had no desire for the Irish. The children wrote on slates.
    They would be punished if they spoke a word of Irish.
