    If one went to Navan to day she would not see the sights...

    (continued from previous page)
    An old "but" or a rotten tree was growing in the dead man's garden and as there was no fire for those who managed to get into the house by means of a little step ladder each side of the wall, some boys including the late Mr. Collins, who was then a school-teacher cut it, but before long they got papers commanding them to appear in court the next court day in Slane.
    This was the bad deed of the old man's enemy, and they were all fined 5/- each.
