- Once there lived in this district a man named Freyne the robber, he robbed from the rich people to give to the poor.
One day he was seen in the town by one of the police and a troop of them followed him but he hid in a bush in Doyle's Rock and he escaped before they reached it. They thought they saw him in the bush and they fired shots at it, one said if he was there he would be dead and he went to the bush but found nothing only the robbers coat.- Collector
