   the horse put a price of fifteen pounds on him. This poor man gave him fourteen pounds but to carry him to his own house which was on the main road between the town of Dunmanway and the village of Drinagh. The man named O'Donovan went to his own house, but did not take the horse to the poor man's house. When the poor man returned to his home he asked the man where was the horse that he had bought from O'Donovan. So the man that was selling the horse kept him and the money and left the poor man without the horse.
