- There is a fort in Mr. Mac Enroes' field with one bush in it, now half-decayed. About twenty eight years ago a butcher named Joseph Quinn came out to fence, and even though a neighbour had told him not to touch the bush he being a wonderfully strong man said he could cut it now as he did and when old Tom Galligan the game keeper was on his rounds he came across the butcher ____ and he in great agony beside the bush and he having it half cut.
