- Adolphus Cooke lived at Cooksboro House Mullingar. He once sent a man on a message one day, and Cooke gave him a shilling to get a drink for himself on the way. The man drank all day until he got drunk. He was going home and he met a man who told him Cooke was coming to look for him. The man got across the ditch and began to moan and groan. Cooke hearing the noise stepped across the ditch and saw the man. He said he had a very bad pain in his stomach.
