to recover King John's treasure, supposed to have bean lost in the Wash 700 years ago, was settled Trecently.

Mr. Edward Gaspard Ponsonby Bued Mr. James R. Horbert Boone, a wealthy American, alleging wrongful dismissal and bronch of a service agreement.

Mr. Ponsonby's case was that Mr. Boone engaged him for a term of three years at £2,000 a year as his agent to carry out a scheme for the discovery and recovery of the treasure, which is believed to have been lost at a spot since reclaimed from the sen,

Mr. Boone pleaded justification for terminating the agreement.

After a

consultation between counsel and their clients, when the

Mr. сдве was resumed, Gavin Simonds, K.C... for Mr. Ponsonby, Bald ho had had an opportunity of discussing the mnt- ter with the plaintiff and in view of the course which the action had taken, Mr. Ponsonby realised that although he had acted as he be loved in the interests of Mr. Boone, he appreciated also that he was not justified in not carrying out the instructions of Mr. Boone whether he thought they were or were not in Mr. Boone's own in- terests. In the circumstances, on his instructions he (Mr. Simonds) would withdraw the action. It had been agreed that there should be no order as to costs.

Sir Patrick Hinatings, K.C., for Mr. Boone, said that he was quite willing that the nation should be withdrawn. Mr. Boone did not dosire to ask for his costa.

His Lordship assented to the settlement.
