   Mickey Mulvany of Navan.
   My father knew an old man from Navan named Mickey Mulvany. He was a very old man when he died and in his young days papers were not to be had like nowadays. It was the usual habit to pay a penny or twopence for the load of a paper. Mickey had a paper stall and one day a man got the loan of a paper and forgot to give it back. Micky walked to Drogheda after his man + got back his paper.
