   Coadys were a tough crowd. I worked for them for a couple of weeks. You could work away for 'em but the devil ever you'd get paid from them.
   Any animal that would die there he'd be ate except the ass or the horse. Lambs used often die there of the "wool ball", and they'd be all devoured.
   Jos. Bishop was working there wan time and wan morning he came in to his breakfast: "What bedamned is this?" says he.
   "You have there," says Coady, "What no other farmer in the country has - mutton for his breakfast"
   Bishop was telling me that the lamb was after dying of the "wool ball" and he was thrown up in the straw for two or three days before that. 'Twas the same with pigs if they died they were et the same way.
