    An old hedge School
    A long time ago there was an old hedge School situated in Knockjames,Tulla,Co.Clare.There was a man by the name of Mr.quighley teaching there.One evening (it) was wet ,and he gave them all the shawls,and coats his sisters ,and brothers had in their pocession, and he gave them to the Scholars. On their way home it cleared,and they left the coats and shawls on wall,and the cows had them ate next morning.
