PARE RELIC FOR 2d. An unusual-looking chain, 4in long, with a locket at its end, was found by a workman employed by the Edmonton Urban District Council, while digging a trench during road-making operations. Thinking it was only a child’s trinket he sold it for 2d to a companion, who in his turn passed it ,to a ganger for 2-Jd. The ganger has now received an offer of £2O for it, and it is to be submitted to exports for examination. The locket is revealed to be a double' coffin, containing two miniature human skeletons, exquisitely ’engraved At the othei end of the chain is a medallion engraved with a Roman crest. Near the spot where it was found a cement Roman coffin, weighing a ton, was discovered a few months ago.
