where the money came from. Arlan would say to
Ctruzawria, The bank broke lut night, and we
want more money and then CtILYZItwaLL would
supply it." But tailor and money lender did not e:.
bast the list of Mr. Cinvanwitu.'s profewdosal
employments. He was also regularly engaged as
"bonnet" to the Berkeley.

We hope that some at least of our readers may be
in happy ignorance of what the word " bonnet." as
a term of art, precisely mesas. Here is Mr. DAviza's
definition. According to this great authority, "it is
a byeword for a person who pretends to play when
any stranger comes in, but always wine." ARM
TOTLE could not have done the thing in fewer
words. Mr. Danes, indeed, had that aid to
genii. which is supplied by perfect knowledge,
for, as he admits, he had employed (.7utesawam.
many times at his own table in the capacity which
he hes so well defined. But it was not merely
by the instrumentality of gentlemen who only
played to win, that Mr. Stnanorrom's 26,0001. was
_ . _ .

extracted from his pockets. Besides all his other
points of knowledge, Mr. DAVIES confesses also to
some acquaintance with loaded dice. He knows, too,
something about another sort of die., called "des-
patches." As my Lord CAMPBELL, who knows
• thing or two, confessed that he had never
heard of "despatokes" before, the reader need
not be ashamed to avow equal ignorance, and Mr.
DAVIES shall define again. "The dupla disc
(says this Aristotelian tapeter) have doable Ins mei
double sixes. They are in favour of the tab I
should say fifty to one —in fact, all th. world
agamst one.' Mr. Dame shall also tell us
how they are used. "They are changed for
other dice In the coarse of play—sometimes by
the bonnet' and sometimes by the room porter—
'rung in,' as it is termed." Have our readers
had enough of it? Have they the shadow of a
doubt

how Mr. Stulsarrom lost his 26,0001.?
It they have, they are slower in coming to a
coaelusion than the jury, who stopped the further
progress of the cue by an indignant verdict opium
the " bonnet" who had the audacity to claim at the
bowls of the law a share of the plunder made by its
levant and infamous violation. Need we add any
• seal to this reading on the principles and practice
of gambling P It would be worse than idle to do so
the clearest exposure of villany has never, we fear,
tended to arrest the downward coarse of dupes.
There may be, however, some who are halting on the
threshold; and upon them the experience of Mr.
BIDEBOTION, and the revelations of Mr. DAMES,
may not be thrown away.
