  1. Penal Days Story

    Share Share Post
    It was alleged that one of the resident landlords condemned a priest, and in his condemnation passed some unsavoury remarks about the Catholic clergy and the fox.
    An old standing tradition says that the judge, soon after, grew a tail, and being one of the hunting gentry, carried his tail in a silken purse, when hunting.
