- (continued from previous page)A heavy fine I am unfit to pay;
And for this reason I appeal to you
Because one word from you will do
And because I know your princely noble mind
Was and is to generous deeds inclined;
And take my word if I this time get free
My goat no longer on the road shall be;
I'll tie it to an English iron pin
Far from the path of crafty policemen."This case came up for hearing at Moynalty Petty Sessions Mr Farrell read out in Court the poetic appeal and the magistrates promptly dismissed the case. - Soft blows the mild sweet morning gale
Reviving and perfuming;
Fresh daisies deck the verdant vale
And every shade is blooming.
The lark through boundless field of air
Proclaims the agent moving
The village swain exempt from care
Exulting hears the warning.Oh, once those rural joys were mine(continues on next page)- Collector
