Hello Katie,

These were the bad old days in Ireland and elsewhere where personal property 
seems to have been more highly valued than the lives of the desperate poor. 
Yes, tough times.

Hmm. This is an interesting one. If I read it correctly, a death sentence is 
given if you steal a horse…but if you kill your child, no. I guess infants were 
deemed expendable, horses not. It reminds me uncomfortably of the debate 
worldwide about the worth of immigrant lives.
