Firemen raking over debris in a mixed store at Leichhardt, which was to-day gutted by fire, discovered a huge quantity of gold, silver and copper coins and partly burned banknotes, representing the 35 years’ savings of James Hunt, who carried on business there. The police also discovered a large quantity of valuable jewellery, which like the coins had been secreted in the seats of chairs and other hiding places. The wealth was conveyed by the police to a bank in buckets. The police recovered 340 sovereigns, which are now worth about £6BO.
