   There was once a bad Protestant living in the town of Tipperary and owned many acres of land. A man was buried in a grave yard very near the convent. The Protestant said that he owned it and that no Catholics should be buried there. Then he stamped the grave with his foot and said "SHe will have to be taken out of here." The following morning his foot was swelled and he died soon after.
