He told her that if she done it again, he would stick her to the ground. She never done it again, and the man got back his butter. This showed how much power the Catholic Priests had.

    A Ghost.
    Nolans had land in Kiltemplan. Kiltemplan is about two miles north of the school. There was a ghost in Nolan's one time, and the Priest put him out on the road. Whatever harm he was doing in the land 'twas worse when he was put out on the road, because he would let no one pass. Often 'twas up on the wall he used be, and more times on the road. At length the Priest put him into the Maigue, making sugans of the reeds. He was never seen again.
