    About one hundred years ago there lived in Knockamany a man named Jack Warden.

    About a hundred years ago there lived in Knockamany a man named Jock Warden.
    He could use great power and did many wonderful deeds with it.
    One of these deeds is told that one day there were men making whisky in a field. In this field Jock Warden stood watching them.
    Suddenly the police came and the men were going to leave all and run. But Jock Warden told them to finish making the whisky and that he wouldn't let a man come over the fence.
    The police tried to climb the fence but their strength seemed to leave them.
    The police got tired of trying so they went away. The men finished making the whisky and they went home.
