    There's a story tould about goold hid in Mr. Cadogan's avenue outside the churchyard gate.

    (continued from previous page)
    tied bags on the axle an spilled tar an' lamp oil on them.
    The men that were workin' thought they were down on the goold begob, an' they were delighted. Begor, the next thing they saw was the wheels comin' down the field in a blaze. The men didn't know what to do would the fright an' they went home through fields an' bogs, an' they never went to dig for goold again.
