The Doctor lived where James Jos Kiernan Killaheir now lives.Miss Fannie Parnell came to address a meeting in Carrigallen and a large waggon or "Breac" as it was called was procured as a platform. When returning from Dr. Donohoe's house, the horses were removed and several young men undertook to draw the "break" down to Corrigallen. When coming down the Priest's Brae the men were unable to keep back the waggon with the result that it tumbled across the fence into the field called "The Lawn" in front of the ruins of the Priest's house. No one was killed but several were seriously injured.(Continued on opposite page)(continues on next page)- Informant
