London, August 30. 1732. On Friday, a foreign gentleman,
who took lodgings at the German Coffee House in St. James's
Street, died suddenly, being in good health at dinner. The
master of the coffee-house, was in concern how to bury him;
he being a stranger, and was about applying to that parish;
but telling a gentleman in the case, who was drinking the
night before with the deceased, the gentleman told the
landlord, he heard the deceased say that whenever he died
there was something in a spinnet that he us'd to play on,
that would bury him; upon which they took it to pieces and
found therein about 100 guineas, which afforded him a
handsome burial.
