We heard recently about a trial held over the Christmas time of 1843 in the Halfway House just above Crosby. Was it for trespass on Ballaharry, or was it so that the owner, John Quine, could accuse his sister-in-law of causing the death of some of his animals by witchcraft? After the Mona's Herald reported on it, there was a lively debate in its pages about it during January of 1844. Jonathan Harker intends to set out for Castle Dracula, at the invitation of the Count. But there are those who think he should not accept the invitation - particularly if it means being there on a certain day.
