    Long ago, there was a man called Mr Bateson, he was a Landlord's agent. As he was coming home from business along the keady road about a half a mile from the town of Castleblayney. He was killed by two men called Niall Grant and Brian Quinn of Castleblayney. Who shot him. He lived in Corritanty Castleblayney Co. Monaghan. The men who did it were found out by the police who dressed up in old clothes. The people took no notice of them, when they were not in uniform. The police heard the women quarrelling about the money, they got for shooting Mr Bateson. They were hung by two police in Ireland.
