    The parish priest of Lixnaw, all his butter was carried with pishogues. He had twelve cows milking and whatever bit of butter he used to make he used to send it to the market in Cork. At that time he was only able to get sixth quality for it and this quality was titled "Bishop". He used to say "I have the privilege of being parish priest of Lixnaw and Bishop of Cork."
