A party of Protestants from the Billis and Ballintemple went to fight and on their way home from Longford they drove all the cattle they saw before them and when they came to an old house between the townlands of Shannon and Bruskey they divided the cattle. There is an old tree that is still called the Jury tree.
    Some of the yeomen went to there homes in Ballintemple and the others went to the Billis. On their way by this part of the country they took all the food they could get and the farmers used to take out the oatmeal and hide it outside until the Protestants passed by.

    There is a cross at Corduff crossroads in the parish of Ballintemple.
    Why this cross is there, a woman was coming from the town a long time ago and she was drunk and as she was coming down a hill the wheel of the cart went up on the ditch and the cart turned over, and she was found drowned the next morning, and the cross was put there on account of the accident.
    People have seen an old woman dressed something similary as this woman was, at the bottom of the hill where the cross is about midnight. A young man named Frank McGovern told my father last year that he saw her when coming from a dance late at night.
    There are tombstones erected in memory of the dead in Ballintemple graveyard and in every graveyard.

The people feared him and it is said that somebody cursed him on account of his cruelties. The curse must have taken effect because the gamekeeper's right leg and right hand and the right side of his face withered away and he died a very miserable death
