A man named Con Donoghue lived at a place named Drom Ruadh near Newcastlewest. He was very sick and his people sent for a priest. Canon Lee was in New Castle at the time and went to visit him. When the Canon came he asked him if he would like to be cured. He said he would. The Canon said if you will some great loss will be taken instead of you. That evening his daughter who was a very beautiful girl came in from school and when she arrived at the table she dropped dead. Con Donoghue got up out of bed immediately perfectly cured.- Informant
