calls the story of what happened once in
the coin-room of the British museum,
where during visit Of a number of gem
tlemen and ladies, it was observed that
a very valuable and almost unique ST.
Gillian coin had disappeared. All thu
gentlemen present in the room at the
time had to be searched and no one OBJ
jected, except one. He protested his in
nocence, but declared that nothing
would induce him to allow his pockets to
be searched. All the other visitors We're
allowed to go home, but he was detained
while the coin-room was swept and ev-
cry corner searched once more. At last
the missing coin was found in a chink in
the floor.
Every apology was made to the sus-
pected person, but he was asked why he
had so strongly objected to being
searched He then produced from his
pocket another specimen Of the very
