    there was so many Tinnock people over there. There were three men working near Campile. Their provisions for the day was a bit of yellow meal stirabout made the night before. a stocking full of meal could be got at Walsh's of Coole. The mens names were Aspels. There was one of them a trimmer. His pay was sixpence per day. This was supposed to be very good. Afterwards he was always called the Trimmer Aspel.
