- A man named Jack Connell living in Kells used to sell buttermilk. The Connell family were accused in the selling of the milk "of stretching it for the creatures."
One day, one of the Connell's customers was seen going to the pump for water and shortly after was heard to call out, "Come out quick, there's a pratie in the throat of Jack Connell's cow" (The potato was in the spout of the pump).
