Four schoolboys, while spending the Whitsuntide holidays in Mulhuddert. a village outside Dublin, ratting with a terrier, discovered a hoard of more than 400 In sovereigns (normally $2,000) In a rat hole. The news quickly quick-ly spread, and a local postman claimed the money as his. He says about 400 was left to him by his father, a blnck-smith, blnck-smith, who had inherited It from his father, and to keep it safely in these troublous times the postman buried it in a field where it would still have remained re-mained but for the inquisitive terrier. The postman's claim was admitted unanimously and the parents of the boys returned him sums amounting to about 150. Local volunteers are making Inquiries with a view to having hav-ing the balance of the money restored. Edinburgh Scotsman. |
