He left at one o'clock at night and when he came to the road at Tubrid, he saw a child crawling in the dyke. He looked around as he thought that there may be tinkers camped near but he saw nothing else. When he came in he told old John Gallivan who was a driver of Mrs Ló and he said it was no notice as that child was always seen there. The bones of a child were found there when they were building the side-walls and pillars of the gate.
