A GOLDEN MYSTERY.
Prom information received, a party (in* eluding a well known detective) proceeded eastward yeeterday morning in search of gold, and in a epot not one hundred yards from St. John’s Church, Latimer square, they started digging, and a little below the surface rnearthed an old boot containing two hundred and five sovereigns. At present no further official information is forthcoming, but in a few days more will be heard of the matter. In connection with the foregoing, however, ■we may mention what wo have received from private sources, which may possibly have a bearing on the mystery. A certain Bank official, some years since, lost the sum of £SOO, Bank money, which he had to refund to the Bank. A short time after one of the clerks left the Bank employ, and after various wanderings, found himself one of the Armed Constabulary. This individual, it appears, was the delinquent, and not being a born burglar, hie crime weighed heavily on his conscience. The other day he interviewed the Bank official, and told him where certain of the money was bid. Hence, possibly, the find of the £205.
