  1. There was a man there long ago and he was going to be evicted out of his farm. The day of the eviction he sent for his son who was a priest. When the bailiffs came they were carried to dinner. When they were finished they could not get up out of the chairs. They asked the farmer to send word to the landlord. When the landlord came he had to forgive them the years rent but to let them go. The priest read over them and they were able to leave their chairs
