    Leap Castle. The driver of the carriage was a Catholic and his master said "I bet you would not go the wrong side of the bush and the driver said he would not. His master got into the driver's seat beside the driver. When he was just past the bush the horses bolted. The Catholic was landed in the ditch and he was not hurt. His master and the party were all scratched and torn. The horses broke the harness but they were not hurt. The master was in bed for weeks after.
