Best Answer

More first throws the cup into the Thames River, but after it is fished out by the boatman, he later gives it to Richard Rich. It is evident he wants to get rid of the cup because it was intended as a bribe and More, a person of inflexible integrity, doesn't take bribes. Giving the cup to Rich also gives More a chance to lecture the unprincipled Rich on The Temptations of public office, tempations he thinks Rich cannot resist. As the plot unfolds, More's dim view of Rich is confirmed a number of times.
