- Long ago in my district of Markree, Barony of Tirerril, Parish of Ballysodare, Co. Sligo there lived a man named Willie Jinks who worked as a labourer in Markree. His boss Mr and another gentleman were talking about the amount of ground a man could mow in an hour and Jink's boss said that one of his employees could mow a rood of ground in one hour, with the result that his boss and the other gentleman staked one pound as a challange. Jinks (with a man sharpening for him) was timed and he accomplishes the heat with the reward of the two pounds from the gentlemen.
