   discontinued, because the jobbers gave up coming there, they found the journey too long, and too far from the Railway station.
   In Newmarket, the fair is held in the fair-field. In Abbeyfeale and Newcastle, the fairs are held in the streets. Toll is paid at these fairs, but only on the cattle sold. Sixpence must be paid on each cow or heifer sold. In Newmarket, the toll was in olden times paid to George Smith and afterwards and up to the present, to the O' Shea family. In Abbeyfeale, the toll is paid to William P. Broderick.
   Luck-money is always given when an animal is sold. It is called the Luck penny. They give sixpence for each bonham and calf. A florin or half-crown for a heifer or cow. When the bargain is made, the parties strike the open palms of their hands and usually adjourn to the public-house, where the seller stands a drink.
   When a cow or heifer is sold, the buyer marks her. Some jobbers put a line of red or blue paint on the animal's back, others cut off a patch of hair on the flank. If there is a rope on the cow, it is given away with her, but the horse's halter is never given away.
