What is recorded here

I picture a corn seller outside Athy Courthouse in Athy, rehearsing a fierce complaint about a neighbour's scales while trying to remember where he'd put his own. By the time he found them under his arm, his neighbour had bought him a bun and the argument had lost its appetite.
Freestanding seven-bay two-storey Tudor Revival former corn exchange now in use as court house, built 1858. Single-storey open arcades to east and west sides, lower single-bay single-storey former porch to north end, two-storey judiciary rooms to south. Public toilets and social services office also.
