SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF TREASURE.—A few
days since a party of seven men were employed in grub-
bing up several decayed trees on the estate of Captain
Wheatley, at Erith, when they discovered a bar of metal
some feet below the surface, and completely embedded in
the roots of an old oak tree. The bar was taken to the
Running Horse Tavern, when it was discovered to be solid
silver, value about £125, and bearing date 1532. As it
appears that the lord of the manor declined to claim the
property the finders took it to a bullion dealer's in London,
who offered to purchase the bar provided that the consent
of the Treasury was first obtained. A statement of the
case was then forwarded to the Lords of the Treasury, from
which an answer was received to the effect that no claim
would be made on the part of the Crown, and the property
has, therefore, been sold, and the amount, shared amongst
the fortunate Auden of the treasure.
