    3. Daily Universal Register (London, Middlesex and England) 30th November 1786 About two years since he died at Birchington in the Isle of Thanet, Mr William GRIGGS, many years Master of a Windmill at that place, on his death bed he informed his son, who is now master of the said Mill, that he had buried a quantity of money in the house he lived in, at Birchington. The son, after his fathers decease, searched after the money, but could not discover where it was. The house was let to another person, who has lived in it ever since, till within a quarter of a year, when he quitted it. The house being now empty, the son of the said Miller, determined on a second search, when under the pavement in the kitchen he found a clock containing a bag with 735 guineas. The son has given half this sum to his sisters children, who are left without a father or mother, their parents being dead some time. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
