A singular discovery was lately made
by firm of Belfast contractors. who
had undertaken TO restore the leaning
spire of an ancient church at Newman
ket- County Cork On attempting to
take down the spire il was found that
the stones of which il was built were
Theoretically bound to one another
with combination of molten lead
and sand. which rendered IL absolutely
impossible to separate one stone from
another, the whole spire being. as il
were. one solid block The whole build

mortar except the mixture Of lead and
sand As the spire could not be taken
down. II was ingeniously moved entire
