    “Feet water is not to be thrown out far or violently from the doorstep.”

    Feet water is not to be thrown out far or violently from the doorstep. Instead the vessel containing it is to be turned upside down gently outside the threshold, and so that the water may be near the door. (Croom).

    “There was a highwayman in this district long ago and he had a lot of gold.”

    Here is a new version of a short tale given already in Cuid 1 or 11.
    "There was a highwayman in this district long ago and he had a lot of gold. He was caught over in England in the end and tried and sentenced to death. When he was going to be hanged he said "All the gold I ever got is in Upper Connello in Gratten Leenane and the wheel of the car is rolling over it and wearing down to it"
    (James Kennedy, Ballymacamore, Croom, 50)
    Gratten Leenane = Gort an Lionain, already given as an Lionan or as geata an lionain. (In Kilmacow, Croom)
