- Biddy Early was a woman who lived in Tulla, Co. Clare. She was famous for her cures. One time the parish Priest of Tulla opposed her and told her to give up her practices. A few days later the priest's horse got sick and was dying. He got all the vets to examine the horse but they had no cure for him. The Priest then went to Biddy.
