- (continued from previous page)Dr Bird after his death. At 12 a.m every night a loud knock was heard at the hall-door of Beach House. There was never anyone at the door. The two cross watch-dogs (setters) in the hall never noticed the knock.Tim Cadogan was a farmer's son, his lawful debts he paid,
Of landlords nor of bailiffs he never was afraid.
No bird nor crow nor magpie his spirit proud could tame
That rough and rugged son of toil, from the Kerry Hills he came
One day he went to Bantry, twas Saturday afternoon
As he had often done before in wintertime & June
A bird was winged that morning , a minion of the crown
He was no loss to Bantry or any other town
The peelers in pursuit of him, no evidence could find
Through treachery they did conspire to gain this hero's mind,
Cadogan in his prison cell no danger did he fear
He knew that he was innocent, this gallant mountaineer.
The jury thought the same of him and twice decreed it so
