Anniversary Address. 221 



The Rev. Robert Paul shewed the old hand-bell of Lennel, 

 which had been rung for funerals and other purposes, and 

 which was afterwards used in Coldstream, it is inscribed — 

 " This is Lendon Hand Bel." 

 He also exhibited several coins, the most valuable being a 

 gold noble, in fine preservation, of Edward III., and a gold

 culty in getting accommodation in the neighbourhood, and
