This cargo of tabboca was buried in a bog. There was one innocent man in the place and he would not be trusted to have any thing to do with it and he was the one to prove against O Malley. The night before the law this man was put riding on a horse and he was fund eight miles outside Lousbourg. When the case was called there was no one to prove against O Malley and he got free. George O Malley was his name and he was a native of Barrishoole. He lived in the later part of the eighteenth century and it is said he is buried in Burrishoole Abbey.
