The two hares struck up against each other and were held fast by the wax. The shoemaker came on caught the two hares and did no bad days work for he recovered his ten shilling note and had his two hares in the bargain.
    The name of the shoemaker was William O' Connor nicknamed Bill Jacko from his father Jack O' Connor.
