    he ran away. The fairies overtook him and they were going to kill him but he begged for mercy. They picked him up and threw him across three fields and he landed in a manure heap near his own house. (11 January 1938).

    One night Phil Reilly (now living at The Rock, Walterstown) was crossing over to Harford's to cut Big Barney's Hair. Big Barney (R.I.P.) was a herd who lived at The White House gate-house. When Phil was going home that night, he saw a little man with a black hard hat stting on a wall at the back of Butterly's (like Paddy Butterly but smaller). Phil turned back and went home by the road. Next day he asked Paddy if he were out that night and Paddy said that he was not. (10 January 1938).
