taming • parchment record end • number of coils, wee depo-
sited under it, is anal on such occasions. It was thought
juat possible that the aims, mall In amount en they were,
might still form a sufficient temptation to emu of the thieves
in the neighbourhood; end a watch was kept upon the stone
each night, until Friday night, when the stows, having been
built upon and embedded In masonry, was thought serum
and the espial was not renewed. It would appear that the
thieves also hat kept a watch, for on the very list night the
stone am left unguarded they availed themselves of the op-
portunity. The workmen on going to labour on Saturday
morning, found that some one had been before them; the
stone had been undermined, end the smaller stoseedtelodged,
so as to expose the cavity in which the bottle had beenplusel

coins and parchment had disappeared The former,
of course, banished the motive of the robbery, only ranged
