Messrs. Caparn, Harikey & Co., for <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> enlarging<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir premises, had purchased <strong>and</strong> were taking down<br />

a portion <strong>of</strong> what once had been <strong>the</strong> old gaol at Newark,<br />

<strong>and</strong> it was in that part <strong>and</strong> perhaps six feet from <strong>the</strong> sur-<br />

face where <strong>the</strong>y <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> jar were discovered. I under-<br />

st<strong>and</strong> originally <strong>the</strong>re were in all twenty-eight pennies,<br />

eleven halfpennies, <strong>and</strong> some broken pieces <strong>of</strong> coins.<br />

Several <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> coins were given by <strong>the</strong> firm to friends, but<br />

<strong>the</strong>se which I have had <strong>the</strong> pleasure <strong>of</strong> examining <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

jar are still in <strong>the</strong>ir possession.<br />
