- A man went to steal a dead body out of a grave in Meelnagh graveyard (Meelnagh, Oulart, Gorey)
Doctors could not find out what the cause of death. In that time a doctor would give in or about five pounds for a dead body.The man that went to steal the corpse did not know who to carry the body. He put a rope round the dead man's neck and tied the other end to his own neck and as he was getting over a stile he slipped and the dead man fell at one side of the stile and the man that went to steal him at the other. The weight of the dead man's body tied to the neck of the other choked him.- Collector
