TREASURE TROVE AT HAMPSTEAD.—The other
day, while engaged in digging the foundations of the new
Homo for Sailors' Orphans between Church-row and
High-street, Hampstead, a working man came upon a
leaden coin, about two feet below the surface, in a bed of
loam and clay. It is about an inch and a half in diameter,
and on inspection it turns out to be a " bull" of Pope In-
nocent IV., one of the well known family of Fiesco,
who sat in the chair of St. Peter from A.D. 1243 to 1254.
The "bull" bears on the reverse the figures of St. Peter
and St. Paul, and is in a tolerable state of preservation,
and we understand that it is likely to be secured for the
British Museum.

" GOING TO POT."—This, like the kindred phrase
" getting into hot water," is a relic of the barbarous po-
licy of boiling to death, which was inflicted on poisoners
in the olden time.—Notes and Queries.
