  1. (continued from previous page)
    priest. the priest said mass in the house and while he was doing so the floor shook. Two days after they found out that bad people had been living in the house. They noticed a lose board in the floor. They found bad papers under it. They burned them and from that day they could sleep in comfort.
    There was an old man who lived at Lucan side of the Clay Steps he was a vary bad sinner. He spent three days in Shackleton's wood he was very hungry and prayed for something to eat. A dirty dish with dirty meat appeared before him. He could not eat it. An angel appeared to him and told him that that was an example of his soul in sin. then he got a clean plate and good meat on it.
