    grave in search of treasure. As tradition gave the people of the neghbourhood to understand that this old man in the fanaticism of his old age, had given instruction to have a lot of money and other valuables placed inside his coffin to be placed in an outer covering known as a lead shell. But the authentic account of what the miscreants found was never known. It was definitely found out that they took away the leaden shell and perhaps sold it.
