    There was a man named Carrol once went climbing the wall of the garden at St. Johnstown Castle (between Dranga + Fethard) to get some fruit. The owner - Jacob - was int he garden and he ordered Power the gardener to shoot him. After some persuasion he fired and the man (Carroll) fell back dead and lay in the fellustrums by the river for days.
    Power used to live in the house where Tom Mullet St. Johnstown now lives. One evening he was shot at his window by Martley.
