The head in pieces flew
The inside was inferior
While the outside seemed quite new

He broke the head of the hammer with the first stroke and he sent into Granard for a new head. - In the townland of Bawn 2 miles from Drumlish (Co. Longford) there is a "Holy Well" in Tom Quinns field. This well is not simular to the other "Holy Wells". It is situated on a hill-side. The well consists of a stone 12" in diameter with a hole (1" in diameter) in the centre. It is covered with an oval shaped stone somewhat bigger than a swan's egg. It never goes dry.(continues on next page)
