    3. In Moore six miles out side of Ballinasloe. There was a very big house and there was very rich people living in it. They buried gold out in a field on their own land and the English people got to hear about it. They went looking for it, but they never found it.

    4. There were men making a rockery up in Garbally and when they dug down a little bit they saw marked stones. They said it was a treasure and they wanted to dig down further to see what it was. The President would not allow them.
