    (continued from previous page)
    There is a story of a poor woman, who went to Midleton, and deliberately broke a pane of glass in a shop window, so that she would be put in prison, her hunger was so great.
    Another man, driven, during the Famine Period, by hunger to accept the hospitality of the "Soupers", had to pass the Catholic Church on his way there. He turned back, took off his "caubeen", and said, "Goodbye, Almighty God, till the praties grow".
    CARRIGANE, a townland in this parish, was said to have 100 families before Famine period. Now only 9 houses are inhabited.
    Soup was given out in the house in which Mrs Manning live sin the Village. Indian Meal was sold there also to the poor for porridge.
