“The beggars of to-day are not as are not as plentiful as they were in the days of old...”
(continued from previous page)huts, generally situated at the backs of ditches. The names of some of them were James Ward, Tom Sheridan and Braced Beesy her right name is not known but she was called Braced Beesy because her face was all pock-marked. They used to beg for meal, flour, potatoes, soda, bread, milk and sometimes eggs. They used to have little tin cans for the milk and bags for all the other things.
