152 Safe Coach.— Antiquities. 
labour of the horses will be lessened ; which should always be a 
matter of consideration with humane minds. The wheel horses 
are relieved, by this plan, from that unequal vibration which is oc- 
casioned by the weight being placed so high as to swing from 
side to side ; sometimes falling to the one horse and sometimes 
to the other, subjecting them to an equal pace with a jerking un- 
equal pull. The perch, the body and the boot are much nearer 
the horses, and more at their command, than in coaches of the 
common construction. 
The Patentee, we understand, means to hire out these vehicles 
to coach masters for the same price at which they now hire their . 
coaches, reserving for himself an additional halfpeuny per mile, 
which he proposes to charge on the front outside passengers, to 
prevent that uncomfortable mixture which is now much com- 
plained of—those who ride backward paying the old fare. This 
bonus he is, however, willing to farm out to the coach-master for 
a reasonable remuneration. The advantage to the coach-master 
will be, additional safety to the driver, less wear of cattle, and the 
carriage of 5 cubic feet more of luggage, which, calculating each 
foot at 24 pounds, will yield, say at one penny. per pound for a 
distance like that to Brighton, ten shillings. These coaches too 
may avail themselves of the act, which allows twelve passengers 
where there is no outside luggage, in place of ten where there is 
outside luggage. ‘These two extra passengers at 12s. yield 1/. 4s. 
more,—That is, if we calculate by the 100 miles, the extra pro- 
fit will be 32. Ss. on every 100 miles. 
Mr. Matthews has wisely resolved to employ the coach-builders 
which the coach-masters now employ : this will tend much to 
prevent that opposition to the introduction of this improvement, 
which would otherwise arise from interested individuals. 
) ANTIQUITIES. 
The following: particulars respecting some discoveries made 
upon the estate of Ebenezer Hollick Esq, of Whittlesford, at a 
place called Got Moor, between Whittlesford and’ Triplow, two 
miles from Newtoii, are copied from the Cambridge Chronicle : 
Mr. Hollick employed some labourers to level three ancient 
tumuli upon Got Moar, called The Chronicle Hills, vith a view 
to the improvement of his land, These ¢wmuli stood in a line 
nearly North and South, upon the North side of a brook sepa- 
rating the parishes of Triplow and Whittlesford. The old road 
from Cambridge to Triplow, through Shelford, crossed this 
brook ; it may have been a Roman way. Upon the left (i. e. east- 
ern) side of it were the dwmuli; and also other sepulchres of a 
very remarkable nature, as we shall presently show. 
The middlemost of The Chronicle Hills was 8 feet high, and
