  1. One time I lived in William Wood's house Church St, Cootehill; which is now rented to Jimmy Mc Glearin[?]. One night when my father & mother were gone to bed they heard a strange noise in the kitchen. It was the noise of a dresser falling My father & mother said the delph was broken. When my mother got up next morning to light the fire not a thing was stirred in the kitchen & there was no delph broken.
