Undoubtedly if ever sold It will go to add to tbe great crown Jewels of England ns the English ginrrrnment would exert sufficient pressure In prevent the Carew ruby from leaving soil. The rnhy Is hundreds of years old and must have passed through ninny bloody scenes during the middle age while It was owned hy the emperors of Indln and Persia.
