CAUGHT AT LAST.

At the Bow-street Police Court, London, on Saturday,
an elderly man, wiih grey hair, remarkably neat attire,
and of sedate and sactimonious aspect, who gave the name
of Thomas Clark, was charged with obtaining a charitable
contribution from Sir Walter Trevelyan, by false pre-
tences. Sir Walter Trevelyan, Bart., deposed : I was at
the Athenaeum this morning, when one of the servants
brought be a note, and said that Dr. Ashton wes waiting
outside to see me. I went out and saw the prisoner, who
addressed me, representing himself as Dr. Ashton. He
told me a very specious story about the person he repre-
sented himself to apply for. He said he came from Mrs.
Emery, the daughter of Mr. Clark, of the Castle Hotel,
Taunton. I knew the name of Clark from stopping
at the hotel. He said she had married a person named
Emery, formerly a wine merchant at Bath, who, however,
had been obliged to give up his business, on account of
ill health. He said he had been attending Mr. Emery for
a white swelling for six months, and had given his profes-
sional services gratuitously as a friend. Amputation had
become necessary, and for that purpose
.Mr. Emery was
going into St. Bartholomew's Hospital• He said he was
sent by Mrs. Emery, who formerly knew me at the hotel,
to ask for some assistance. I believed his story, and was
induced to give him half a sovereign for Mrs. Emery. Sir
Walter produced the letter, which was signed " Elizabeth
Emery, late Clark," and contained the same statements.
J. W. Horsford, one of the officers of the Mendicity
Society, said that a little before 10 o'clock this morning,
he saw the prisoner in Victoria-street, having his boots
cleaned. As his appearance agreed with the description
witness had received of a man who had obtained numerous
contributions by false pretences, he determined to watch
him. He went first to a public-house and then to the
residence of several gentlemen. At last he called at Mar-
shal Thompson's hotel, Cavendish-square, and asked for
Sir W. Trevelyan. He was told Sir Walter was at the
Athenaeum, whither he next proceaded. Witness en-
tered after him, sat down in the hall as if waiting
for some one, and overheard the prisoner's conver
cation with Sir Walter. Prisoner said he lived in
Union-street, Borough. As he was leaving witness
apprehended him, and found on him a number of letters,
similar to that produced by Sir Walter. Each of these
was accompanied by a slip of paper, containing memo-
randa of the names and alleged circumstances. Such a
memorandam was also found on him relating to this case.
Captain Wood, the manager of the Mendicity Society,
said the prisoner was the most successful begging-letter
impostor in London The society's officers had been on
the :look out for him for four years, but he had till now
evaded them. He made a point of never calling twice at
one place. If once unsuccessful, he gave it up. The
prisoner declined to give any account of himself, and Mr.
Henry sentenced him to three months' imprisonment.

WHAT Do You WANT ?—I require a good Pen and
splendid Ink. Then go to E. T. Hall's, South John street,
where you will get the best quality at the cheapest rate.
" THE NEW SAYETY INKSTAND.—We could scarcely
believe that we had to contend with E 0 many minor
grievances in writing until this admirable invention was
brought to our notice. It exempts your ink from mildew,
evaporation, dust, and oxidation, and at the same time
prevents the pen from becoming overcharged."—The
Wisbech Advertiser.—Price is Bd, 2s 6J, 3s, and 386 d each.
—Advt.
IMPROVED WRITING INR.—What a delicious treat it is
to be blest with free, flowing writing ink. We have often
been disposed to quarrel with our very finger ends when
compelled to use some of those abominable quasi-fluids
called ink. Mr. E. T. Hall, of South John street, has pro-
duced an ink, which we have tried, and we do not hesitate
to pronounce it one of the best kind we ever used. It flows
freely from the pen, and is amongst other things distinguised
by its affinity and intensity of colour.—Northern .Daily
Times, 24th October, 1853.—501 d in Bottles, 61, Is, and 2s

PRUDENCE.—HOW much regret, pain, and evil may be
avoided by timely forethought ! If it be desirable to
economise time and money, is it not still of greater impor-
tance to look to your health ? During this inclement
season we strongly advise the use of the Aromatic Spice
Plasters on the chest. Coughs, colds, asthmas, shortness
of breath, pain or tightness of the chest, affections of the
lungs, &c., are effectually relieved, and in many cases
entirely prevented, by the timely application of these
invaluable plasters to the chest, which are far superior to the
common warm plasters, and in many cases entirely supersede
the use of internal remedies. No person during the winter
ought to be without one ; persons about to travel by rail-
road, &c., in particular. 6J, is, and is 63 each. To be had
only from F. G. Jones, Chemist, 5, Paradise street, and 94,
London road, one door from Seymour street; where also
may be bad the horehound and Squills, so celebrated for
coughs, &c., in bottles, is I Id, 23 9d, and 4s 6d. Mr.
Jones can show any party interested a number of testimo-
nials of the great benefit derived from the Aromatic Spice
Plasters and the Horehound and Squills, in affectons of the
hest.—Advt.
CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—No sooner is a medicine wel
established in public favour than a host of imitation spring
up. The Essence of Horehound and Squills, Pectoral
Lozenges, and Aromatic Spice Plasters, are sold only at 5,
Paradise street, and 94, London road, and one agent in
most towns in the kingdom.—Advt.
IMPURE WATER.—During a series of lectures at the
Polytechnic Institution, in London, by Mr. Pepper, on
this all-important subject (whose lectures have afforded
so much interest and instruction), he particularly urged
the absolute necessity of the adoption of some stringent
measures in order to;insure, as far as possible, a wholesome
supply to the public, and particularly cautioned persons
predisposed to cholera infection against the use of water
in its naturally sophisticated state, because all water,
from whatever source received, cannot be free from other
substances, such as clay, flinty matter, chalk, sulphate of
lime, nitre, common salt, sulphate of potash, animalculm,
&c., and urged, in conjunction with Professor Faraday,
the absolute necessity of filtration, in order to remove
such mechanical impurities. There can be no doubt,
however, that when the Liverpool water is properly
filtered, it will be found to be among the best descriptions
of water supplied to the public. It is much to be lamented
that fraudulent venders of feeble and ineffective imitations
of valuable inventions are numerous in large towns and
cities ; we would recommend our friends, therefore, to
inspect the warehouses of 'Messrs. Saunders and Co.,
Parker-street, Church-street. It is but justice to their
inventive genius to:lpronounce their filters far superior to
anything of the kind ever offered to the public, being
unique in structure, judicious in development of power
and action, and reduced to a price with the reach of all
classes.
