Her husband had given her a very valuable ring which was buried with her in a vault in St Peter's Churchyard. A man-servant thought it a pity that such a valuable ring should be buried & went to take it in the dead of night. He could not get it off her finger so he tried to cut her finger off with a knife. As soon as the blood began to flow she came to life again. The man screamed & ran away & was never heard of again. The woman walked home. Her husband knew her knock & let her in. They had a baby 7 or 8 months after.
