The Pitt Diamond,

While Pitt, the grandfather Of Lord
Chatham, was governor Of Fort St
George in 1908 he became acquainted
with u jewel merchant named JAM
chund, who brought a diamond Of
great size for SALE He asked 10000
for it in the rough. 1t should, Of
course, have been bought on behalf Of
the company, but Pitt, seeing money
in it, could not resist the temptation
Vt making Il private bargain. He be-
came the possessor Of the stone for
the sum of f20,4 400, and he was quite
satisfied that he had behaved honor
ably when he paid the man, who on
his part was also content. But the
diamond was known to be worth more
than Jamchund had received. and the
transaction gave rise to good deal
OF gossip. which in no way decreased
when later on Pitt had the stone cut
In England and sold it to the regent of
France for f135,O0O. Even that enor-
nous sum did not represent its true
value. The stone was set in the royal
crown of France. 1t weighed 40
carats in the rough, but the cutting re-
duced 1t to 1856 carats.-Mrs. Penney's
