   One day a servant girl from one of the houses, chanced to peep in through one of the woman's windows, and what did she see but the woman, and she having sugans tied form the top of the ceilings, and she getting milk from them. The girl told her story to a strange priest, who had come on holidays to the place. "One minute", says he, "and I'll let her know she is not to take the butter". He got the soc of a plough and reddened it in the fire, and left it there. The woman was at this time working the witchcraft, but the minute the soc was reddened, she began to roar, because something hot was coming from the sugans instead of butter. Her roar could be heard in Limerick City. She couldn't let the sugans go.
