- There were two men coming from a fair in Aughagower a long time ago and they fell out on the way home. They beat each other with the result that one of them died.
Another man happened to be coming on from the fair and he saw the two men fighting and he was brought to court as a witness to see who was at fault. The evidence he gave was.
"If him struck him where him struck him, him would kill him as well as him". The case was dismissed, and the accused was let off.
