- James Quinn was a highwayman. One day he was stealing potatoes on the plains of Boyle. The police got on his track and followed him to Keadue. He jumped the Feoiris and when he was safe on the other side of the river he sat down. The police said "Wasn't that a great jump." He said "Oh! look at the run I had to it."
