  2. One time a beggar went to Lawrences of Carrigacrow and they thought he was a Protestant so they gave him a penny and he said "God Bless you." But when he came out there was a lad beside the ditch and he heard the beggar saying to himself "Thanks be to God and his Blessed Mother that I got a penny from him." The lad ran in and told Lawrence and they were after him and brought him back and took the penny from him. Then they made him do a hard day's work before they let him off.
