Jewels and religious articles valued at about £75,000 were lately stolen from the museum attached to the cathedral at New Goa, Portugal, in which the sarcophagus of St. Francis Xavier is kept. It is the custom of pilgrims to the sarcophagus to deposit articles of value there, and these are afterwards placed in the museum. It is some of these articles that have been stolen.
