IN OLD WARDROBE
When an old wardrobe was being taken to a Newcastle sale-room recently a boy who was assisting thought he heard coins rattling in one of the drawers.
He made a thorough search and found some 1 hags of coins which he thought to be farthings, as he had never seen a gold coin.
They were found to be sovereigns and half-sovereigns to the amount of £2BO, and were returned to the person to whom the wardrobe belonged.
