Local Happenings (continued)
“The greatest happening I have heard of is the burning of the woman in Ballyvadlea cottage. Her name was Mrs Cleary.”
(continued from previous page)queen of the fairies bring me back my wife Bridged Cleary. But it was soon found out that she was done away with.
There were thirteen of them arrested and every two tied together and brought to Cloneen barracks, and then sent to Mountjoy jail."The night was cold in the month of March
And they were in an awful state
They took her to the kitchen fire
And laid her on the grate"
