- 7) Once it happened than the mill now owned by Elliot of Ahascragh stopped. All sorts of men were sent for to set it going again but none of them succeeded. The man who owned mill always worked on a Sunday & often kept the workmen from going to mass. The priest heard about it and he cursed the mill and that is why it stopped. While some learned men were at the mill this day and a workman suggested that should send for the priest. They did and as soon as the priest entered the four wall of the house the mill started. The owned of the mill never worked on Sunday after that.
