    out specially on old peoples land because they know they can fight them. They are not poor people. They never should get anything for begging. They have lots of money. The Cashes are Catholics. They go to Mass. They sell cups, saucers and other things. The Cashes have caravans for sleeping in. They steal hay and straw at night when the farmers are asleep. The Cashes are big people. We call them the tinkers. They camp on bye roads. The Cashes are always fighting. They often beat the Guards. They gave trouble at Castledermot recently.
