    There is an old man who still calls at our house, his name is George Gallagher. Sometimes he gets a Jenny, and sometimes a piece of bread, and other times he gets tea.
    He lodges in the houses as he goes along. Sometimes he has food with him. He walks about the district.
    He is about fifteen years in the district
