- A song in one of our readers calls to mind, the time King Malachi wore a collar of gold. It does not, however, tell what the collar of Gold was like. Was it anything like what one see's in Mrs. Noone's windows, here in Milltown. By all accounts it was not because we have pictures in some books, that give us an idea of what Malachi's collar was like.

The finders who are now dead, thought nothing of this twisted and bent piece of metal. However the late Mr. David Flannery of Milltown hearing of the find secured it and had it sold, I suppose in Dublin.
