Additional notes
Source for notated version : - O'Neill remarked in Irish Folk Music: A Fascinating Hobby (1910, p. 98), "Through Edward Cronin's efforts we obtained from John Mulvihill, a native of Limerick, an unpublished jig named the "Stolen Purse", which in its quaint tonality indicates its evolution from some traditional lament." Cronin, a excellent fiddler, was a member of the Irish Music Club in Chicago at the beginning of the 20th century, and was himself born in Limerick in the 1840's.

Printed sources : - O'Neill (Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems), 1907; No. 344, p. 71.
