TREASURE TR0vE.
Tho Innocence of Ono Of tho Prisaasrs
Saved Him from Punish

In 1853 man named Thomas Butcher
alaborer in the employment OF = farmer
ut Mountfleld, in Sussex, was blowing
q field one fine day when his plowshare
threw up long piece Of metal like
brass, with trumpet ut each end and
doubled up like coil Of string. There
were several other similar pieces in the
same furrow, the whole weighing alto
gether II pounds. Butcher, who had
very little imagination, thought moth
ing Of the find and allowed the metal
to lie at the bottom of the field till
evening, when he carried 1t home,
thinking 1t to be the discarded orna-
ments Of some gentleman's hall or par
lor. Subsequently he mentioned the
matter casually to an acquaintance
named Thomas, who, after taking 0
look at the so-called brass, and con-
sulting with his brotber-in-law, VIII
lett, went to Butchers house with o
pair Of scales and great show OF hon.
esty and bought the metal at the rate
Of sixpence pound-fve-and-sixpence
for the lot.
The plowman heard nothing more of
the transaction until his acquaintances
began to annoy him by inquiring jest
ingly II he had found any more old
brass lately, and then 1t leaked out
that Thomas and Willett had sold the
"brass" to n firm of gold refiners In
Cheapside for $500 lbs. I'D. The crown
took the matter up, an inquest was
held by the coroner and Thomas and
Willett were ut once arrested. Butcher,
whose simplicity had saved him from
temptation, was an innocent finder;
but the prisoners, who, knowing how
the metal had been found, had bought
It us brass and sold it for their own
benefit as gold, were convicted on the
evidence and punished severely.-Cham-
bers' journal.
