- There was once a man named Despard who lived in Killaghy near Mullinahone. He had a great friend named Joe Lawrence. One day he said to Lawrence, will you travel with me dead or alive. Lawrence said he would. Despard died that night. He called to the window of Lawrence's house about two o'clock in the morning.
Lawrence got ready and rode away with Despard on a grey horse. When they came to the narrow passage Despard went in and the gates closed behind him. Lawrence came home and his horse was dead in the morning.
