Messrs. Daniel Smith & Company, the assessors, of Tokenhouse-buildings, Lothbury, E.C., are offering a reward of £200 for information leading to the recovery of the jewels.
Mrs. Hill's case bore the initials "EH." It contained, among other things, a seven-star diamond tiara, a miniature set in diamonds with a baby on one side and a man on the other, two diamond bracelets, and emerald and diamond rings.
It is believed that an Underground railway passenger may have picked up the attache case and taken it home under the impression that it contained nothing more than a few pieces of worthless jewellery.
