CURIOUS RELIC FOUND IN THE CITY.—A slab or tablet,
most curiously inscribed, , was recently found in Christ
Church-passage, Newgate-street, by some men in the
employ of Messrs. Crook and Son, the City sewer con-
tractors. It consists of a slab or tablet of Purbeck
stone, about a foot square, and exhibits the following
inscription rudely cut upon it :
" Et les mains ourdiraient
les entrailles du pretre
A (Want de corde pour
etrangler les roil."—NAHum.
The translation of this singular inscription is, literally,
as follows :
