    Father O'Loughlan P.P. Caherline Co. Limerick, used get Indian meal boiled in his house, for the poor. One morning when the meal was ready the priest told his servant boy to open the gate and let in the people. The boy named Leonard called out "hurrish, hurrish" to the poor people, as if they were pigs. The priest beat the boy and let in the people himself.
