CAUTION TO TEI PUB1:10.—I Peter Laurie, on entering
the justice room, said that he had just received a communi-
cation intended for the protection of the public against a
swindler, who had established himself for some time at Liver-
pool, and who, adopting the style of an old mercantile con-
cern, was ordering goods et London tradesmen with intent
to defraud them. The letter was business-lilts, and indeed
there was nothing in the appearance et the order to lead to
the least doubt of the high commercial standing of the firm,
there being no street or plane mentioned, but simply the
direction " Liverpool," ea if that was enough to find them ;
but it would be observed the goods were ordered not to
Liverpool, bat to some other ;due. The following was the
order he alluded to ;

" Liverpool, August 22, 1849.

lot of table cutlery, of which as merchants we are shippers,
and generally purchase at Sheffield ; but, as we want cheap

worth while to offer us, please enumerate them, aod, it
good 60 piece" balance long knives and kirks, 4-inch handles,
are below 405., you may at ono' send off per steamer all you
have, not exceeding 100 sets.
To Mr. C. C. Farrell, Dublin.

bill of lading, and a few days after report of safe arrival will
remit. " Tours respectfully,
