An incident recalled by Jane Nagle of Killavullen shows how mean he was and how his employees dreaded him. One morning one of his dairy men accidentally spilled a churn of milk. Being an honest man he approached his employer to tell him of the occurrence.
"I spilled a churn of milk, sir," said the workman in a shy manner. "I don't know what you are saying," answered Mylie. "I spilled a churn of milk,sir" said the workman a little louder. "I don't know what you are saying," again answered Mylie. "I spilled a churn of milk and I'll pay for it."
