“A man lived in Listowel once and he did not believe in the true religion.”
A man lived in Listowel once and he did not believe in the true religion. He had a servant in the house and he was a Catholic. One day the servant girl was going to Communion and the Protestant asked her what it was and she told him what it was. Then he said to her that if she brought the Communion home with her he would give her a thousand pounds. So she brought it home with her. Then she put it upon the table and the man pulled out his pocket knife and drove it through the Blessed Eucarist.

When the two saw this the man ran out and hanged himself and the girl went out of her mind.(no title)
