Mr Quinn of Shanakill was the landlord of of the townland of Monadiha, Co. Waterford long ago. He was about forty years in this place. He was not liked by the people because he was a bad landlord. He attempted to put the people out of their homes but he was not able to do so. He took cattle from Mr. Curry, Monadiha, Co. Waterford when he did not pay the rent. The Mansfields of Dublin had possession of the land first then they sold the property to Mr. Quinn, Shanakill, Co. Waterford. Then Mr. Quinn sold the land to the Government. The rent of the land is paid in the Bank of Ireland and if the people would not pay their rents in the bank the bailiffs would come to the houses and take the farmers' cattle or crops. The landlords had great control over the people and often they grudged them enough to eat. The landlords were very cruel to the people and they took very heavy rents off them. There were landlords by the name of Power living in Terry's castle Co. Waterford who used to cut the heads off the people on Cloc na cCeann a stone which is to be seen near the Barracks in Rathgormack, Co. Waterford. The bodies of the dead people

Waterford to Slieve Bloom.

known to the boy that he was the champion. So when morning came the boy was getting ready for the hurling as he was the champion Lord Waterford had chosen and he said to Sean "Are you going to the hurling" and Sean said "Yes" and the boy said "As you are a sportsman I will give you a lift to the field." Sean and himself got into the car and drove off to the test which was crowded with people, and there were the three Lords from Garryricken to see their team and Lord Waterford to see his won team. As they lined up Sean O'Cualah stood up before the County Waterford with his name engraved in letters of gold by the Ormonds on his hurley and belt. As the match went on after hard play Sean OCualah scored a goal and the other Co. Waterford boys scored two goals. That finished the first half hour. The second half hour the Waterford champion and Sean had hard tussery until Sean met the ball with a brilliant stroke and scored a goal. Both teams were even then until Seán struck the ball and drove it into a coach window of a carraige which was near by. It was occupied

"white boys" said "go maith mo lannah" L. Waterford heard this expression. Now in the neighbourhood there live a boy nicknamed "Mo Lannah". He lived with his mother in one of the houses in L. Waterford estate. Waterford sent for him next morning and hung him in the centre of the courtyard although the boy protested his innocence. In the evening as the boy was not returning his mother called on Waterford to see what was keeping her boy. On arrival in the courtyard the grim tragedy unfolded itself. She went on her knees in front of the corpse and cursed the Waterfords to the seventh generation. "the curse was that none of them would die a natural death." As I'm writing this old tradition I hear the seventh lord shot himself this morning Sept '34. The local people now say the curse is broken.

Fiddown Island is in the middle of the Suir. One time it was no man's land. Four Cork-man built a house there and the ruins are still there. They carried out basket-making. They planted sallies and cultivated them for their trade. The four men kept growing them for thirty years. The baskets were sold around the districts and as far as the town of Waterford. They intended making it a big trade and taking apprentices on but the industry was cut short in this way:-
It was in the year 1682 the reign of the first Earl of Bessborough who disputed his right of the Island with Lord Waterford and its ownership was made in this way:-
A barrel was cast out at Carrick bridge, and if the barrel passed the Fiddown side Lord Waterford would own it but the current at that time was at Waterford side. The barrel went at Co. Waterford side. So Lord Bessborough was made owner. As soon as he heard of the men making the baskets he put the Island. That finished the basket industry in Fiddown Island. The names of the men were:-
Téddy, Batt-Éady, Crámer and Conn.

Co. Waterford, got its name for it is long and narrow.
The Gáirdín, Camphire, Cappoquin, Co.Waterford got its name because there was trees planted in it.
Páirc na Sgioból, Camphire, Cappoquin, Co. Waterford, got its name from a barn that was there.
The Cúilín, Camphire, Cappoquin, Co. Waterford got its name for being a small, narrow field.

This bridge connects the counties of Waterford and Kilkenny at Fiddown. The Waterford end of the bridge is placed in the extreme eastern portion of the Parish of Carrickbeg at Brownswood. The bridge is remarkable on three accounts. First it is a wooden bridge, second it is a draw bridge, third it is a toll bridge. It was built in 1852 by the Waterford-Limerick Railway Company for the purpose of connecting Fiddown Station with Portlaw. In fact the station at Fiddown is still officially named Fiddown and Portlaw. The latter place is two miles distant from Fiddown on the Waterford side and was then of much more importance in industry than Fiddown as it contained Malcolmsons’ cotton factory which employed a large number of Workers. The factory paid its hands by leather tokens which were accepted by shopkeepers and bankers as legal tender. The construction of the bridge was economically carried out as the engineers made use of an island which stands in the centre of the river here. The centre of the bridge is a metalled roadway the two branches of the river being spanned by wooden archways. The draw bridge is on the Kilkenny side and allows steamers and ships to pass through on their way to

potatoes-cakes. They made oaten-meal themselves from oats. They had a little hand-mill called a quern and they used to grind the oats with that and then they made the bread with oaten meal and water. They made yellow-meal bread with a fist of flour and a lot of meal and sour-milk. They made potato-cakes with boiled potatoes and sour-milk. There was a woman named Mrs. Power, living at that time in Curraghkiely, Co. Waterford who always made potato-cakes. She is now living in Feddins, Co. Waterford.The people very seldom got meat. On Christmas morning they had a piece of fresh meat. On Easter Sunday they used to eat twelve and fourteen eggs and that custom of eating eggs on that day is still kept but the people do not eat as many eggs. There was a time when the people got no tea and instead of tea and instead of tea they got curds and whey and it was brought out in the field to them and a piece of potato-cake with it. They drank a lot of sour-milk. The tables they had were called hanging-tables and when they were not in use they were put up against the wall and fastened to it by means of an iron bar.

About seventy years ago there lived a man who won distinction for running races. He was known as Holly Hawk. he received his name being as hard as holly and as thin as a hawk. This man had no fixed address. He went from place to place and was a familiar figure in the counties of Waterford, and Kilkenny. He was a very weak-minded man and when ever he was asked to run a race he was ready to do so, no matter how long the distance was. He lived during the time of the Mail Coaches. One of these vehicles journeyed from Waterford to Kilkenny. He was asked to run a race with the coach, and he willingly did so arriving at his destination before the coach and nothing the worse of his long journey. On another occasion he made a bet with the Marquis of Waterford to run a race with him from the bridge of Waterford to Curraghmore. The Marquis sat in his carriage and drove his horses at a mighty speed.
On the journey Holly Hawk turned the small weels of the carriage remarking that it was not fair to have them doing as much as the two large ones. When they came near their destination, the Marquis drove his horses much quicker and Holly Hawk fearing he would be beaten jumped the style
