He told the men at the breakfast that he had no hay for his horse. They told him that they would bring two back loads up to the Chapel the following Sunday. So William McKiernan of Derndriad and Pat Rawl of Killassity carried up two back loads and John Mollahan and Francis Harahan both of Legonomer carried the hay up to Druminbawn and when the hay was weighed there was over three cwt. weight in each load.
