The Stolen Purse

This jig is the 3rd tune in "Christy Barry's Set & The Connemara Jigs" on "Late... In The Night" by Christy Barry, Conor McCarthy, and Cyril O'Donoghue. Christy plays a bit different version from the one Bill posted though. It's followed by "The Old Lark in the Morning": http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1578
Not very sure if the two tunes are really Connemara tunes.
