    when Tom turned round again he was gone..
    Leipreachans are look upon as friendly biengs and anyone that ever caught one is supposed to have great luck about a house.
    A man named David Hickey saw a Leipreachan one day and he could not catch him.
    David Hickey set the dogs after him, and not long after, David HIckey was coming home from Boher and something made him black and blue, and he was knocked down on the road. It was the Leipreadchan did it. David Hickey is from Brittas. It is not lucky to touch a Leipreachan. It is said he is the guardian of the druid's money
