- The story is told that a poor woman named Kate went round from house to house begging for a handful of Indian meal, (which meal had been supplied by the Government and houses in the locality had to distribute same among the people. One of these house was - Maxwell's Canningstown). When the woman got her little store she went home and made porridge and poured in on a plate to cool. But when her back was turned a big sheep dog came in; and ate her porridge, at which she was heard to exclaim "Sam Eakin's big woollen dog ate my porridge".
