A person took a furore in II igh.street, Southwark, in a fictitious name, and open ed shop as a seller of roasted corn, by wholesale and retaiL lie made a great display, and his stock. which appeared to consist of between twenty and thirty sacks of the roasted vegetable, were in fact nothing more than sacks tilled with Us dust and shavings, having a little of the corn placed at the top. A shrewd ltel was put in the shop, who had been well trained to the part he had to per. form. The corn-master called upon the innkeepers, and ordered at each place two gallant of gin, and one of rum. and said the ma ney would be paid on delivery. When the liquor was sent, the lad in the shop said Ids master was just gone out, but would be back in a short time, and requested the party to leave the liquor and call again for the money. The spirits being left, they were carried away through the back door, and the publicists were laughed at on call ing again for the money. Application was made by the sufferers at ('talon Hall Police Office, but the Magistrates bad no power to grant them redress. An officer was despatched to the shop, and at that instant, six gallons of spirits were brought by two publicans, who were happy at receiving timely information of the fraudulent transaction, and carried their liquor back. The expose made to the police, induced the twindlers to close their shop on Friday, and to decamp.—Sienday l'aprr.
