London, . . . August 8. On Friday last a foreign gentleman
who took lodgings at the German Coffee House in S. James's
Street, died suddenly, being in good health at dinner: The
master of the coffee house was in a concern how to bury him,
he being a stranger, and was about applying to the parish;
but telling a gentleman the case who was drinking the night
before with the diseased, the gentleman told the landlord,
he heard the deceased say, that whenever he died, there was
something in a spinnet that he used to play on, that would
bury him, upon which they took it to pieces, and found
therein about 100 guineas.
