- (continued from previous page)The nuns did not know what to do, but at last decided to hold a conference at the graveside. The landowner was there, and the people pleaded with him, but in vain.
Among the crowd there was a man who dealt , the landowner a blow and said " The Devil will have you before the day is out."
When the man going he had a pain in his leg, and died. He could not be got into a coffin or anything, so in the dead of night, was taken to his grave in a cart, which was his punishment.
This is a true story and happened in a place called "Old Palace."
