When Crown Was in Pawn.
Li former centuries the crown used
t<? be the fa fori te way of raising
money, anu the royal Jeweis used
to be in pawn most cf tU ume.
At the time of the coronctlon of
George IV the crown was In pswn, and
was hired out for the occasion at s
cost of $35 000. The king wanted to
buy It, but Lord Liverpool thought
It an unnecessary extravagance. Fi
nally they browbeat the poor pawn
broker down to $36,000, although the
crown was then vslued at $750,000.
and In celebration George IV had to
march through the streets for miles
wearing a 5^ pound weight on his
bead. -? v
