   Andrew Sheehan one of the Gearaltaigh[?] known as the "Russian" was going home from Knocknagree fair when he was met his enemies the "[Davies?]" who beat him badly. A song was composed about this incident. I The "Russian" can remember the 23rd September, When he was made surrender by the Davie boys alone, The Russian was not able to go to the Kerry Stable, So they laid him in Daly's table. With a plaster to his nose. II There is a character and she lives down the lane, sir, Mary Gogan is her name and she came from Bantry bay, sir. She was bribed by those FitzGeralds to give false information And she is clatted[?] by that vagabond They call him Owen the "Ra'per[?]"
