The estate war conveyed to him, and it was then fur the first time suggested that the 32,0001. was improvised with the character of freehold estate, and the opinion of counsel having been taken upon the point, the estate was conveyed to the trustees of the will of Lord Harcourt so forming part of his real estate. William Bernard Harcourt then died, leaving three daugh ters and no sun. The first bill was filed by his three daughter, who claimed the estate as having been purchased with money which was personal e estate, estate, and had become the property of their father. The heirs of Lord Harcourt, who were defendants, claimed the estate as being part of his real property. Evidence was gone into to prove that Load Itarcoun lied e stat e, his cts elected to take the 31,0001. ms money or personaland the ball prayed that the tonnyaece from William Bernard Harcourt to the trus tees of lewd liareourt's will having been made by Oinks, might be cancelled , and that the plaintiffs might he de clared entitled to the estate so purchased with the money. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Law appeared for the trustees, and Mr. Bethell, Mr. Bolt, Mr. Melia% Mr. J. Parker, Mr. Calvert, Mr. Gliffanl, Mr. Meunier, and Mr. Leach for the other pewter. Lord Cranworth said the rule was, that where nioneywo directed to be laid out in the purchase of land, the character of freehold a state was impressed upon it unless any acts were done showing the intention of the party for whose benefit the property 11.41 settled to elect to take it as money. The quortion was, whether the acts of Lord Harcourt had been such as to show that he meant this money to be considered as personal property. His lordship then went through various facts to the care, and said it was perfectly manifest that Lon! Harcourt haul to take the 32,0001. as per sonal estate, he had invariably treated it as such, and a hat ever might have been the opinion of counsel upon the sub ject, it was dear that the facts now stated, and which had since been made known, were quite sufficient to settle the question. The decree must, therefore, he for the plaintiffs, and the conveyance of the estate to the trustees must be set aside. SETHI/CR r. 'V BROOX.—RaPITIIIeTION AGAINST lISCOMING A HOMAN CATHOLIC. The question in this suit was, whether a clause in the will of William Earl Harcourt, against the owner of part of his ratite becoming a catholic, Has valid. The clause was in the folios log words " l'rovideel always, and my will and mind is, that if the 12141 Charles Ameelee 112TCOUTI, and Sophia lies wife, or either of them or any of their children or r. moue issue who may be entitled to my said estate at , 14t.

Upon the death of William Bernard Harcourt, the person mentioned in the last suit, Charles Am. ete Harcourt became entitled to the estates as tenant for life, with remainder to his ROM successively in tail male. He was now residing abroad, and protract' the Roman catholic faith. Ili. eldest son was now eight yearn of age. It 4Tt.

The question of the validity of the clause having been argued, Mr. Bethel' suggested that the case might he di-posed of by adopting the following decree The father (Charles A. Harcourt) submitting, that as &awe en I 'lf and his suns the condition in the will as to professing the protestant religion, shall be considered as valid, and as having been broken by him, let it be declared that the estates deviacal by Lord Harcourt became, from and anus the expiration of twelve months from the death of William Bernanl Ilarcourt, and now are vested in the eldest son of Charles A.

Mr. Nicholson commented on these circumstances and Grath'e absence almost immediately after the bankruptcy. They certainly presented features of considerable suspicion. Tb, bankrupt explained the matters of the transaction in Bohemian glair, and the misstatement with respect to the sum of 2.101. in a manner that satisfied the court. The pay ments to creditors had been mainly made under the impna.. lion that he should be able to avoid bankruptcy, or were to meet the accommodation acceptances of a friend. There was a fictitious entry in his books to the extent of 331., but it wa,, not with a view to the money being put into his own pocket, but to enable him to protect the giver of an accom modation bill. The Lommismoner, on referring to entries in the bank rupt's boobs of payments to Wadi, remarked that they were uniformly at the bottom of a page, and, to say the least, were extremely suspicious. He could not, believer, consider that they supported the allegations against the bankrupt as to make the ease against him more than one of suspicion. He 'sight have sanctioned an unjust entry in order to arrive at a just remit. The wilaryof Grath ought certainly to have been paid.

Seetintare.—Tnn MIMING DAOCISS AT Inn 0111.11 T EXHIBITION. This was an action to recover V. 18s., balance of wages, under circumstances of much importance to foreign exhi bitors and their attendants. From the evidence taken, through the medium of interpreters, it appeared the de fendant, who is commissioner for the Kingdom of Wurtem barg. in the Zollverein department, engaged the plaintiff on the 4th of May as attendant, at • salary of 7s. per day. It turtle r appeared that • code of rules were made by the foreign eommiteioners and exhibitors, binding the foreign attendants to have Is. per day retained from their wages to provide a fund to carry them back to their o wn country, if they wishi.d it, at the termination of the Great Ezhibition, sad another • shilling per day was to be stopped as security for the goods entrusted to their care, and to pay fines levied for neglect or miscon duct. Amongst the articles which the plaintiff had in charge was a dagger of beautiful workmanship from Stutgard. This dagger was stolen, and M.

Mr. Columbine called upon the defendant to point out the clause by which hie client bound himself to such con ' ditions, even if he had stolen it.

Csown Stua.—Bzwoot LOU. OM. Juww. ROMMEILE AT THE WA LTIECII AMBIT GUNPOWDER FACTORY, . . John Cornish, 29, labourer, Charles Ere (who surren dered to take his trial), Jesse Griffiths, 24, and George Roice, az, were indicted—the two fint-mentioned prisoners for stealing Dank of England notes and gold to the amount of nearly 4001., the property of her Majesty ; Griffith% as an accessory before the fact to the commission of the felony ; and Rowe with having feloniously received the property, knowing it to have been stolen. In other counts of the indictment the offence was charged in a different fern, and the property was laid to belong to the principal officers of her 311%jesty's Ordnance. Mr. Claikson and Mr. Bodkin conducted the case for the crown; Mr. Ballantine defended Cornish, Mr. Parnell de fended Ese, and Mr. Ilawkins was counsel for the other two defenants. A great many witnesses were examined for the prosecu tion in this case, and the trial occupied the greater part of the day, hut the nature of the charge will be better understood by a narrative being given of the facts, than if the evidence of the witnesses were repeated in de tail. The robbery in question was committed at the go rnmint gunpowder manufactory at Waltham Abbey on the evening of the Bth of Aril, and it appears that two of the prisoners, Cornish and Eve, had been employed about the establishment, and were of course aware of the nature of the arrangements connected with it. It would seem that it was the custom at the end or the com mencement of every month,' for the principal store ' keeper, Mr. Henry Topping, to be in possession of a considerable win in cu', for the purpose of pitying the wages and expenses connected with the manufactory ; and on the Bth April he hail a sum of nearly 5001., com a posed of 20e. bank notes, sovereigns, half-sovereigns, and silver, which he placed iii an iron safe in his office, and locked it up, and went away about half-past seven o'clock in the evening. The next morning it was found that the office had been broken into, that the iron safe had been forced by means of gunpowder, and that the whole of the money had been abstracted, and the circumstances left no doubt whatever that the robbery had been planned and carried into effect by some persons connected with the establishment. Information was immediately given to the police authorities, and inspector Lund, one of the detective police, was sent down to investigate the matter, and the result was that all the pincers were taken into custody, and committed Ma trial ; but the case appeared so alight against Eve, that the magistrates allowed him to be at large =1 his own recognisance to appear and take his . The evidence against the other prisoners was et this character. It appeared that about a week after the robbery a man named Lane, who was also employed at the manufactory, went to the officer, and told him that he was at a public house at Waltham, called the Compasses, kept by the prisoner Rowe, shortly after the robbery, and that he saw Griffiths there, and he told him that Cornish and Evo had committed the robbery, and that he had given Cornish a chisel fur the purpose of assisting to break open the office where the money was kept. Lane also stated that after he had had this conversation with Griffiths, Rowe came up to him and asked what Griffith, and him had bceu talking about, and he then said that Cornish hail promised to let him have the notes, and that he was to go to London to get them changed, and that he should get 15/. for each of the 20!. notes. He asked Rowe subsequently whether he had got the notes, and he said he had not, and he thought that Cornish was afraid that if he got them he would "stick to them," but he promised Lane that if he did get them he should tease his share. The witness also 'tetra] that Cornish afterward. told lion that be (Cornish) had given him the notes, and that he had been to London and had changed two of them and had received 30/. for them, which he acid he intended to keep, and he should return the remainder of the notes to Cornish. Upon Cornish being apprehended he was asked whether he had received anything from Griffiths before the rob bery, and he said that Griffiths had given him a chisel, but when he heard of the rubbery he was fright ened, and threw it into the river, and upon • starch being made a tool of that description was found in the bell of the river. This was the principal confirms tarry part of the statement of Lane with regard to the prisoners Eve and Cornieli, and it appeared that the state meut was not made by Lane until after a reward of 501. had been offered. With regard to the prisoner Howe, it was proved that:npon the officer going to his house he found him in a loft over the stable, and he took him into custody and searched him, and found some notes and other securities is his pocket, but nothing referring to the present charge. The officer inquired whether he bad any mare money, and he said there was some in his bed room. He was then asked whether he had any money in the loft, to which he replied It was not likely." The officer was not satisfied with the answer, but proceeded to search the loft, and he discovered • tin canister, in which there was a bag containing a hvindred sovereigns and heiteoverrigns and upon his being asked how the mosey came there, he said that he platted it in the loft for safety, am an attempt had been made to rob his house a short time before. None of the notes were traced to the possession of either of the prisoner', but the whale et them had come into the Bank of England, and they ap peared to have been negotiated in k ranee, and to have passed through the bureaus of different money-changers. The case against the prisoners, who were charged as prin cipals, it will be seen rested almost entirely on the evidence of Lane. and he was, of course, subjected to a rigid cross examination, in the course of which he made many contra dictory statements, and it was admitted by the counsel for the prosecution that Lane stood almost in the position of an accomplice in the affair. At the close of the came for the prosecution the Chief Justice expressed his opinion that there was nothing to go to the jury against the prisoner Eve. Mr. Clarkson concurred in the opinion expressed by his lordship, and a verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly taken for that prisoner. The learned counsel for the other prisoners then severally addressed the jury, the chief point relied upon being, that Lane's evidence was not sufficiently confirmed by indepen dent testimony, and that his own story was unworthy of credit. Tar learned Judge then summed up the ease, and the jury, alter a short deliberation, found Griffiths and Cor aish Not Guilty and returned a verdict of Guilty against Howe. He was sentenced to be transported for ten peals. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.-CAMBILIDOE, JOLT 23. la►oas Mt. Rims atainrau. Tun LITZILIXOTON Idtll.Dalt. - .

The pudding was served up by the prisoner, and deceased ate a portion of it.

Sophia Widdop is a married woman, and she and her husband reside in Black Man-lane, Leeds. The prisoner is a gardener, and he lived within a few doors of them. On the day in question, between eleven and twelve o'clock in the morning, he entered the house. Mrs. Widdop was taking tea, and a person named Marshall was present. Some unimportant conversation took place between the prisoner and Marshall, at the conclusion of which the latter went away, when the prisoner put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a loaded pistol, which be instantly discharged at Mrs. Widdop. A surgeon was sent for, when it was found that she had one of her ribs broken. The pistol was charged with a bullet, which fortunately glanced off on coming in contact with Mrs. Widdop's stays, and thus prevented further injury. She recovered in a short time. A neighbour named Kaye came up immediately alter the pistol was fired; he heard another pistol fired, and on going into Mrs. \VW dop's house he observed the prisoner lying upon the fluor with two discharged pistols near to him.

The court having been formally opened, and a grand jury sworn, his lordship delivered his charge, con gratulating the grand jury on the lightness of the calendar, which only contained the names of two prisoners, one for stealing half a pound of soap, and the other fur stealing a scythe. These cases were immediately after disposed of. THE POLICE COURTS. CLERKENWELL The Mr. Wm. Neale, priest, and schoolmaster of an establishment connected with the Roman catholic church, Duncan-terrace, Islington, was charged with ill-treatment to John Farrell, aged 6, whose parents reside at No. 1, Elder-walk, in that parish. The poor little fellow having given satisfactory answers 23 to the nature of an oath, was sworn, and stated that at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after all the scholars, with the ex ception of three of the elder ones, had been sent home, the defendant seized him and flogged him with a gutta percha whip on his legs, thighs, and other parts of his person, for a considerable time. lie could not say how many blows were inflicted, but he could swear that there were more than twenty. lie had not been a naughty hey on that day. The " father" (defendant) told him that the punish • ment was through having absented himself from school on Sunday. The cries of witness brought Mr. Dinehley, greengrocer, of the Liverpool-road, and others, to the place, and they took care of him, and gave the prisoner into the custody of Sergeant Beckley, No. 12 N. Mr. Hinchley said he had very often heard groans, cries, and blows in defendant's school, where a discipline moat harsh and cruel was practised. The complainant was in a fainting state when he first saw him, and blood was stream ing from his person. The complainant's mother stood forward, and said she had no desire to have the defendant fined or otherwise inured. Mr. Combo hadthe poor child's person exposed. It was an awful and harrowing sight. He asked her if she sanc tioned a heating to that extent ? She replied—" I see he has been very much beat, but I don't want to punish the gentleman, because he had my authority." (Murmurs.) Mr. Combo.—Very motherly, certainly, to permit such barbarity. (To the dekadant.)—What have you to say ? He answered, that the boy was generally badly disposed, and on the day that he heat him, had stolen a paint brush and been guilty of lying. For these offences, and absenting himself from his catechism class on the Sabbath, he inflicted the punishment which, he regretted to say, was done when he was in a bad temper. Mr. Combo was aware that noblemen's sons, as well as others, were severely flogged in schools, but parents were not even allowed to flog their child to an excess, and there fore could not depute another to do so. No act which a child of so tender an age could have done would have jus tified the accused in such harsh treatment. Defendant observed that he deeply regretted the un happy occurrence, and must candidly admit that the pu nishment was too severe. _ Mr. Combc said the unfeeling mother thought little of the affair, and he should adjoisni the case for the attendant., of the child's father, the production of the instrument with which the complainant was tortured, and any witness the defendant thought proper to produce. In the course of a few hours the investigation was re sumed, when the worthy magistrate inquired if the lad's tither objected to such severity as that exhibited on his child's person ? Father—Au faith an sure I don't wish to hurt the good gentleman. (Groans and hisses.) Mr. Cembe—Then I can tell you and your wife that you are both brutes. (Handing him the whip—a very large one, with a brass ferrule in the middle.) How should you like a blow over the face with this ? Father—Oh, not at all, yer worship. Mr. Combo—l should think not. Yet you are inhuman enough to sanction it upon the body of your child. A donkey's hide is as hard nearly as that of any animal, still it would be cruel to beat one with such a weapon. (To the prisoner.) Do you wish to call any witnesses ? He said he did, and put into the box two youths who witnessed the flagellation. They said, in answer to him, that they did not consider the beating very severe, and that the boy was a very wicked one. On cross-examination, however, by Mr. Combs, they stated that upwards of 13 blows were given the complainant with the whip. They had seen other boys flogged with it by the defendant. Mr. Combs observed that it was altogether a most disre putable and disgraceful case, and the defendant had consi derably aggravated it by calling witnesses to try to delude the court. He was at a loss to adjudicate in such an affair, as the parents, who were devoid of all natural feeling, MOM that they gave the prisoner an authority to act as le had done, consequently it would be useless for him to send the case to the sessions as they would not prosecute it. Mr. Hinchley hoped the magistrate would hold the de fendant to bail, for he was determined the affair should not end there. He, with many others living in the vicinity of the school, were often painfully annoyed by the cries of defendant's pupils. Mr. Combs considered it a ease of that public importance which should be taken up by the parochial authorities. It would be too much for one disinterested and humane per son to take upon himself that responsibility. Mr. Hinchley said he would endeavour to prevail on the Islington guardians to take up the matter, And, wishing that such a proceeding will be adopted, M. Combs bell the defendant in his own recogniaanees to Alfred Smith, 15, errand-boy, was charged with stealing a letter, containing post-office orders to the amount of 11/. 12s. Id., and a quantity of books and stationery, of the value of M., the property of Messrs. Wickham and Co., booksellers, 163, Strand. Mr. John Barker, bookseller, of Exeter, stated that on the 14th instant be gent from that city two lettere, one con taining three poet-office orders to the amount of 111. 12.. Id. the other certifying the contents of the former, directed and made payable to Wickham and Co., 163, Strand. John Redman ' letter - carrier, stated that prosecutors' Douse is in his dis trict. On the 15th instant he delivered all the letters given him for that purpose, but does not re member teeing one directed to prosecutor. Mr. John A ickham stated that the prisoner bad been in his service about sixteen months, at the weekly salary of ten shillings. In consequence of the number of letters he had lately lost, and as defendant generally took them in, he directed Sergeant Thompson to visit his lodging, No. 34, East-street. Witness accompanied him, and on his bed, between a coat and a pair of trousers, he found the letter containing the missing post-office orders. Sergeant Thompson, detective, stated that on searching prisoner's rooms he found &number of King's College Maga eines, Colburn's novels, stationery, &c. Mr. Wickham identified them as his property. It was pri soner's duty to have delivered them at the houses of wit ness's customers, to whom they had been directed. He valued them at 51. In addition to these facts Mr. Wickham stated that be bad missed a 101. note which had been sent him from Nottingham ; also several sums of money, which ho had every reason to believe the defendant had appropriated, as when he visited his lodgings he found several pairs of new boots, suits of clothes, new carpete, fenders, fire-irons, &c., and in his cupboard were found varieties of sauces and oil, with other delicacies. About six weeks ago, when he must have been in possession of a great many luxuries, his mother died in extreme want. Prisoner, who had engaged Mr. Wontner, was then fully committed. THAMES. _ _ . . Philip Long, lighterman, of 4, Broadway, Southwark, was charged with stealing 220 bags, containing II tons of guano, value upwards of 2001., the property of the Peru vian government ; and Thomas Pieering, 30, described as a merchant, Union Wharf. Limehouse, was charged with receiving the same, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. George Drury, muter of the ship Albion, stated that on the 15th of May last he received an order from Meters. Gibbs and Co., guano importers, to receive the guano on board his vessel from the ship Livermore, lying in the West India Dock, and convey it to Mr. Robert Schofield, farmer, at Goole. His vessel was then lying at Cotton's Wharf, on the Surrey side of London-bridge, and he accordingly em ployed Long (being a lighterman) to fetch the guano in his barge from the Livermore in the West India Dock to his sloop. Ile gave Long the order between four and five on the morning of the 10th of May, and Long told him that his barge was lying in the dock ready to take it, and witness should have had it on the same afternoon. Ile did not receive it on that day (which was Frida)), nor on Saturday, or Sunday. He went twice to Long's house, but did not see him. The barge came alongside his vessel on Monday morning, at five o'clock, and he then asked Long the reason of the delay. His reply was that be did not get the guano till late on Saturday, and thinking that witness would not work on Sunday, and that the guano would be safe in the basin, he remained there till Monday. The barge was then unloaded into the Albion in witnew's presence. The bags were hoisted up by tackle, and witness observed to Long that they did not appear the same bulk as they ought to be, and that they were in different bags altogether. Long replied that he did not know there was any difference and witness observing that 221 bags were delivered on board instead of 220, as Ins order specified, asked Long the reason, on which he said, "they have given you one over this time." Wit ness observed they had never given ono over before, and paid the prisoner 14s. for the lighterage. Ile believed the name of the barge to be the Old Soul. Ihc bags were stowed away and witness did not leave the vessel till she arrived at Goole, where the bags were put into Mr. Schofield's warehouse, next to his private fame. Some was taken out into the fields directly it was discharged, and witness at once per ceived it was not the same guano that he was in the habit of receiving, and on comparing the bags with those that he had taken on previous occasions to Mr. Schofield they were found to he different altogether, those that he had delivered asi back lilts. l re brought vious me' l r C i the fti or n fd Tila g oretha h talet h ptr'isoo'n -h eerrsh b a ) d . delivered him to London, and took the bag he brought back to Messrs. Gibbs" office, where it was opened; and he took a sample of it to Prof. Wey, of the Royal Agricultural Insti tution, but he could not examine it that afternoon. John Parsons, a labourer employed by the prisoner Pick ering, was then called. lie said he had worked at Picker ing's Wharf several times, and was at work there on the Saturday afternoon before the Epsom races unloading barges. lie could not say whether one of the barges was the Old Soul, but he heard they come out of the West India Dock. There were two barges. Ile did not know whether they contained guano, because he did not know what it was. In 'answer to Mr. Yardley, witness admitted that he knew the smell and colour of it, and should say that it was guano. They cleared one of the barges and commenced the second that night. They went to work next day, Sunday, which was not uncommon for them. Atter the barges were unloaded he went to work in the warehouse, turning the guano over, some in heaps and some in bags. The witness here gave his evidence so very reluctantly that Mr. Yardley sharply reproved him Examination continued—We touted about eight ton of something in bags on board one of the barges, after having unloaded them. Mr. Yardley—Were they the same as you unloaded ? Witness-1 can't say, as it is sometime ago. We were paid 6d. an hour. Mr. Pickering was not present on Saturday night, but was on Sunday, and saw what was going on. Mr. Long was there on Saturday night, but I can't say whether he brought one of the barges. Mr. Pickering does employ him with his barges. It was Mr. Long set us to work saying that Joe (Mr. Pickering's foreman) desired us to'do so. Mr. Knowles examined—l am in the employ of the East and West India Dock, to take the weight of guano landed from the vessels. On the 16th of May we had a vessel called the Invermore in our docks, and I delivered from that vessel 14 tons 16 cwts. 1 qr. and 1 lb. of guano to the order of Messrs. Gibbs. I delivered it to the Old Soul on the 17th. I saw it put into the barge; Long was superin tending it, and a young man he called Pickering's brother was present. All the bags, 220 in number, were delivered before two o'clock. Long was anxious to start by the next tide, and gave the men orders not to go to dinner till the barge was loaded. The company take samples from every vessel. The bags were numbered consecutively from 6,102 to 6,321. In answer to the magistrate, Mr. Drury here said the bags he received on board the Albion were not numbered. Mr. Samuel Taylor, superintendent of the guano de partment of the West India Dock, here proved that the Old Soul had passed the dock half an hour after the cargo was delivered. Mr. Yardley—There is some slight evidence against Long. Mr. Ilobler—l will bring all the evidence necessary on a future day. Mr. Yardley—But I must have some evidence even to order these men to find bail, or take their own recog nizant:es. John Legg, in the employ of the Regent's Canal Com pany, was near Pieltering'a warehouse on Sunday, the 18th of May, and saw two barges there ; he could not tell their names, but discerned the letters " Gal " on one of them. (Laughter.) Mr. Yardley—That's some evidence. This is a serious charge. Only that the evidence is not very strong I would not admit them to bail at all. They must find sureties of 2001, each. Long I'm a poor man. Mr. Yardley—The case is stronger against you than the other man. Mr. Pelham—We call% find bail to-night. Mr. Yardley—Then when you do, you must give Mr. Hobler notice.—The ease was then remanded for a week. TOE SITREWSBCRY AND BIIIIIINOUAM RAILWAY. —ln consequence of a report which had become very cur rent that it was the intention of the London and North Western Company to run a train on this line from Wel lington to Wolverhampton on Monday last, and to take possession of the line in the same way as they did in the case of the South Lancashire ltailway, every precaution was taken by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Com pany to prevent such an intrusion on the part of the London and North Western Company. We learn that there was a strong body of " navvies stationed on the outside of the junction at Wellington, and two rails were removed at that point, which were only replaced tempo- rarily on the appreachi of a Shrewsbury and Birmingham train, so that any attempt to run a foreign engine over the line would have been quite impracticable. Considerable excitement, we believe, prevailed at the junction during the day, but if the London and North Western really contem plated taking possession of the line in the way reported they seem ultimately to have thought that it would not be pru dent to do so, as no attempt was made to pass a train along the line. We believe that the two rails above referred to continue to he removed and replaced on the departure and arrival of a Shrewsbury and Birmingham trail at the junction. The gates at the entrance to the offices of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, in this town, are also kept locked.-IVoleerharnpton Chronicle. CAUTION TO TRADESMEN.—lnformation has been received at the General Post Office of a series of robberies which have lately been practised upon respectable trades men, and which have been effected in the following man ner. The person engaged in this swindling transaction takes care to reside within the 16 mile circuit of the London district post. When located he obtains a money order to the amount of one shilling, which is made payable at one of the offices in the metropolis. Ile then orders goods, chiefly in woollen articles, to the amount of U. and up wards from some house in London, specifying at the same time that all his business is conducted on the principle of immediate payment in cash. In this manner he multiplies orders, altering the amount of Is. to 51., and from the neat way in which the erasure of the " ls." is effected, it is hardly possible to detect the fraud. It is almost needless to state that after the delivery of the goods, the tradesman, upon application to the Post Office, Ands that he has been swindled, no such amount as the 6/. or the 101. having been paid to his account there. It is to be hoped that this cau tion will set tradesmen on their guard, and lead to the de tection of this artful swindler i who no doubt is now making a circuit of the suburbs of London for the purpose of vie. limiting the metropolitan tradesmen.
