- Once a prisoners escaped and came to this district. He was re-captured and was again put into prison. The warden in charge said he wold set him free, if he would tell queer lies - so the man commenced straight away and said
"I saw a buck flea saving hay for the Lord of Tyrone, and Kilkenny town going down to visit Athlone, and Carrig Fergus drawing salt to Carrick Mac Cross.
I have seen he said the new Custom house thrown down by the wind of a bat
I saw a sparrow hawk in Dundalk, mendind shoes,
And a lark with spectacles reading the news and there it is all for you without a word of a lie.
And where is the man that saw as many wonders as I".
All these were good lies and the prisoner was released.- Collector
