- From Patrick Quill (50), Moulnahorna, Ballinagree, Macroom
Taken down by Kate Quill (12), Maulnahorna, Ballinagree
About 60 years ago there was a landlord named Massy, who lived near Macroom. Massy was a great tyrant. He kept some greyhounds for coursing in his property, but his tenants were not allowed to keep a dog or even a cat. If one of the gamekeepers told him that a tenant had a cat, that tenant would have to pay an extra half-year's rent. It appeared in the press that Massy would give a reward to anyone who would give the name of any person coursing on this property. A man named Noonan from Duhallow gave his name and address to Massy, and told him that he would course his property on such a date. Noonan was there on that day, and coursed the whole place from Mauma Cross to Massy's hall-door. He then demanded his reward, and had to get it.(Another account says that he did not get it)
