- During the time of the tithe trouble three men who had collected tithes were bring gold from Cork to Dublin via the old mail coach road through Nine mile House. In front of Hanrahans of nine-mile House under two trees which stood until recently they buried the gold, then proceeded on their journey to Dublin and on arrival said that they had been robbed on the way. It was proved by the authorities that they had not been robbed and the three were shot at the spot where they had hidden the go,d. On the anniversary of their death three dogs were supposed to appear outside Hanrahans of Nine mile House.
