- (continued from previous page)Seo scéal ar chúirt na talmhan i nDúngarbhán timpeall caogadh mbliain ó shoin ann.
Tionóntuidhe ó Pharóiste Chill Ghobnatan a bhí ag cur isteach ar locáiste ar chíos na feirme d'fháil. Ba ró-bheag an méid Béarla a bhí aige, ach mar sin féin, ba bhreá leis bheith á spalpadh leis. Sé an breitheamh á chistigh é nuair a bhí an cheist geall leis pléidhthe.
"De'n meas atá ort"? arsan breitheamh.
"Mhuise, yer honour, níl aon mheas orm ach amháin pé rud beag measa atá afam féin orn féin".
"I understand" arsan breitheamh "that you get 12 barrels of oats to the acre from your land".
"Bheul" arsa mo dhuine séimh "I vouldn't rawther than I vouldn't"
Bhain an breitheamh iarracht eile fé. "How about your potatoes?"
"Bhuel is mar seo a bhíonn. "Says you now, that's the ridge" ag cur a méire anso agus ansúd ar mhuincille a láimhe eile. "I put wan sciollán sa pholl so, wan other wan sa pholl so and the tríu wan sa pholl eile seo. Thin the préachán bán would walk in and away would go sciollán an chéad phuill. An fireán rua would wear into two and thin I'd have wan".
Is mar sin a bhí sé ag casadh an scéil gur chuir sé an dalla-phúicín ar an mbreitheamh agus d'éirigh sé as an gceistiúchán.
Fuair an tionóntuidhe an locáiste.- Collector
