The Kinnears and their kin; a memorial volume of history, biography, and genealogy, with revolutionary and civil and Spanish war records; including manuscript of RevDavid Kinnear (1840) . His father was oneof the Chiefs of Irish Dalradia, while his mother belongedto the royal family of Leinster. Columba was, in fact, agreat great grandson of Niall of the Nine Hostages. Thecause of his exile was as follows: A dispute arose over acopy of the Book of Psalms which Columba made from amanuscript belonging to Saint Finnian, his teacher at Clon-ard and Molville. Finnian claimed the copy. Columbarefused to give it up. The dispute was referred to Diar-maid. The king followed the principles laid down in Bre-hon Laws: *To every cow belongs its calf, decided that toevery book belongs its copy, the earliest decision on copy-right recorded in our history. He therefore awarded thecopy to Finnian. Columba refused to accept the decisionand appealed for aid to his tribe. A fierce dispute aroseculminating in a great battle at Cooldrevin, near Drumcliffa few miles north of Sligo. This battle was fought in 561,and the partisans of Columba were completely victorious.
