- Nick Dunne had the lend of a turnip barrow and double sower. Joe Smyth wanted the lend of it also. Smyth went to the field in which Dunne was preparing the ground to sow turnips and the barrow was on the headland. When Smyth got Dunne half way up the field he yoked his horse to the barrow and was going away when Dunne saw him. Dunne ran across the field and caught hold of the barrow and pulled and he beat the horse in the pull so Smyth had to go home without the barrow.
