"Opposite to Barton school-house is a field called Dodgey-Rays, whither Mr Wilson used always to send any of his boys who were imperfect in their tasks, in order to get them better. So common and well known was this punishment, that to send a person to Dodgey-Rays is become a proverbial expression in this county." |
