    (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.
