His name was Mr. Teague. At that time the turlough used to overflow and flood the road. When the man was returning, the water was on the road as he came out of the cart. Then the horse reared and fell into the mearing drain between Cullane and Crimlin. The man was saved. The cows and calves went to drink next morning. They got drunk.
