Ten of the Hundred

Concerns an account of an inn at Calverstown strangely named 'Ten of the Hundred' so called because out of every hundred who stayed there only ten escaped death or robbery. A man living a fair distance south of it had to travel to Dublin on business. Before leaving his home his dog went missing and while stopping off at the inn on his way to his amazement he saw his dog coming from under it. That night the dog would not allow his master to lie down to sleep. Suddenly the master noticed the bed and the floor sinking to the lower apartment. He escaped through the window. Next day a large quantity of human remains in various stages of composition were found under the inn in a subterranean apartment The culprits were convicted and the inn levelled.
