   in Bridgetown. They were playing "hurry the brogue" one night at a wake in Bannow and the game went so high that they hit the corpse in the bed with the brogue. It happened that the "corpse" was only in a trance and jumped up and got allright and lived for years afterwards. Another time there was a wake in Bannow, and the corpse was over the kitchen. It was a very old house ready to fall asunder. There was dancing and singing and [?] going on in the kitchen, and others were drinking tea, when down comes the loft and the corpse fell right on the table where they were drinking the tea.
