“In a small house near Newel's Bridge lived a man named Bat Munstay...”
In a small house near Newels Bridge lived a man named Pat Munstay- a labourer- about 50 years ago. He made a poem about Boyd Rochfort as follows
"Mr. Boyd of truth you're void or any symathy
This forty years you caused floods of tears
And banished families
Death will appear with his long spear
In a doleful situation
You'll be sent pell-mell to a warm cell
Where you'll get compensation"
