   9. There is a treasure hidden in Garbally supposed to be hidden there in ancient times. A work-man in the court of Garbally about sixteen years ago, unearthed a stone slab with some writing on it explaining about a treasure being hidden upon it. The President of the College would not allow them to unearth it, so it is left there.

   Got from,
   Mrs. M. Grey,
   Harbour St,
   Ballinasloe.
