    3. The Carlow Sentinel. 16th July 1849. FORTUNATE DISCOVERY. A few weeks since Mr George W. Anderson, of this town, lost a sum of £700, which it was generally believed was dropped on the Railway. Large rewards had been offered, but without effect. On yesterday however, a servant, while brushing an outside coat felt something like a small parcel at the bottom of the coat, protected only by the lining. On further examination, the above sum was found ; the parcel, it appears, having fallen through the pocket, and was carefully deposited on the seam between the cloth and the lining. It is unnecessary to add, that we feel peculiar pleasure in detailing the particulars of this fortunate discovery.
