  1. (continued from previous page)
    come down to John Damers and take a piece of gold and take it home to her nest and one day Jackie Hanrahans great great grandfather and old Mick Dwyers grandfather was cutting the tree that the jack daw had all the gold and they got it all.
    Mack Carthy of Lattin found when digging the garden and big long piece of gold. John Damer hid it there. And he lost it again around the place and he couldn't find it so some prime boy came along and picked it up. John Damer hid all his gold around Shronell and now is our chance to find a bit of gold around the fields but sure when we dont we must do with out it the decent people of this parish are to lazy to dig for gold and sliver.
    There is a black dog seen over at Roesboro and he carries a chain with him and a candle in his paw and he ran after Michael Hayes over as far as John Hayes and followed Davie Brophy to and he tore his britches. Michael Hayes told me that the other night if this is lies or truth I don't know.
