    "and I'll have a pardon for the two of you in 48 hours" "What guarantee have I" said Mick Ryan "that you'll keep your word" "I pledge my word, Ryan." "Your word!" said Ryan. Ryan looked at him. "All right I'll take a chance." But if you fail I'll meet you yet!" And Ryan let him go. "Where will I send the pardon?" said Needham. "To Tom Devereux" replied Ryan. Needham rode away. Within 48 hours police called to Tom Devereux with the pardon and the Ryans returned home.

  2. The following poem was composed by a resident of the district, Ned Groke. He now lives in Alaska.
    One evening late as I chanced to stray
    Round dear old Hacketts Hill
    Twas from there I spied a maid
    Beneath the Church of Kill
    She was modest fair and handsome
    As any could behold
    Twas on her dress I do confess
    Was many a robe of gold.
    I vouch I'd win this beauteous love
    Mid every up and down
    To cheer my old declining years
    In the Lonely House of Bown
