- Near Clones there lives an old cattledealer by the name of James Mohan. One night he was coming home from town, and he had taken a few glasses too much so he fell into a boghole. A Protestant neighbour named Jemmie Howe heard him groaning and went down and pulled him out. When he was out he says. "Is that you, Jemmie Howe", "It is," says Jemmie, "Oh", says James, "throw me in again, I would rather be drowned than saved by an Orangeman."
