- (continued from previous page)And but for the speed of their horses we'd rock them to sleep.The Bennett mentioned was Bennett of Gleneffy near Galbally and Franks was the late Thomas Franks of Ballyscadane, father to Major Gen, Sir George McKenzie Franks. Both were J.P's and sat on the bench at Galbally, Hospital and Kilfinane Petty Sessions Courts.I was often told the above by the late Jim Coleman of Ballylanders who pursued Franks and shot down a branch over his head as he escaped in his own avenue at Ballyscadane near the Cross of the Tree, on the road to Knocklong.
