PURSUIT OF LEEDS SWINDLERS IN
CANADA AND THE STATES.

By the Africa, screw steamer, which arrived in
the Mersey on Sunday night, Detective-officer
James France, of Leeds, was a passenger, on his
return from Canada and the States, whither he
had been with the object of detecting James
Hubart Sadler, late of Leeds, agent to the But-
terley Iron Company ; and George Terry, also
reeently of Leeds, ironmonger, and who is said
to have defrauded certain Friendly and Loan So-
cieties to the extent of above £3,000. Sadler's
defalcations would not exceed £l,OOO.

France started from England on the 25th of
September, in the Indian, and arrived at Quebec
on the 11th October. From thence he proceeded
to Montreal, where he'had reason to suspect he
should find Sadler, who was an ardent cricketer,
and who, it was supposed, was accompanying the
All. England Eleven in their tour of the States.
At Montreal, France was upon the still warm
track of Sadler, but missed him by a few days'
start. Anticipating that be had gone over into
the States, France still thought that it might be
as well to take Hamilton in his route, where the
Eleven had to play a match. In that city he
communicated his errand to Mr. Carruthers, chief
constable, got his warrant endorsed, and watched,
the cricket ground and cricketers narrowly. But,
Sadler did. not present himself.. France next
ascertained that Sadler was in New York, and
there he followed him. Assisted by Detective-
officer Farley, he searched the city through and
through, but for some time without seeing any
traces of the swindler. All the drinking saloons
and public places frequented by. the English, in-
cluding such houses as Brooke's porter stores in
Broadway were also visited, Brooke's establish-,
went being watched day and night, in conse-
quence of some information received. France
next advertised in the New York papers that a
letter of importance was awaiting " James Hu-
bert Sadler, of Leeds, England," at the Broadway
way Post-office, but this ruse appeared to be too
transparent to hook the ci-devant turfite and
cricketer. The detective next fell in company
with a theatrical manager, who told him that a
person answering Sadler's description had lately
been lodging at the Patterson's Arms, near Jersey
Ferry. Hither France accordingly proceeded,
and there learnt that Joseph Paley, blacksmith, of
Leeds, (who was a great companion of Sadler's,
and who was formerly employed by Messrs. Den-
nison and Co., smiths and founders, George-street,
Leeds,) who accompanied Sadler to America, had
here left his companion, after first robbing him
of £57. France also learnt some information
which induced him to visit *the Bowery, "the
boys" of which. have achieved a notoriety far
beyond the precincts of New York. Here he
fairly ran his game down. At a groggery
or liquor shop of very indifferent pretensions, he
found Sadler, who was carrying on business under
the name of Box, a name of some cricketing cele-
brity. Sadler's cards were thus inscribed, " James
Box, cricketer, from England, ' The Swan,'
Bowery, New York. Free and Easy.' All
,de-
scriptions of liquors, spirits, &c." 'The New York
detective. Farley went into the spirit store, and
told " Box" that a man, who gave the name of
Paley, was drunk and in custody at the Broome-
street police-office, and that he confessed to having
robbed a man named Sadler, whom he described
to him (the police-officer). Sadler immediately
confessed his proper name, went with Farley to
the police-office, and was there introduced to---
_

France, the detective. He was dumb-foundered,
for he remembered France at once, having met
him in many a hard-fought field of cricketing.
Sadler next burst into tears, lamented his unfor-
tunate fate, and expressed himself so alarmed by
his position that he wished the officer to remain
with him in the cell all night. Vice and guilt had
worked a fearful change in the once gay and
debonnaire young man. His, good looks were
gone, premature care had written her hard lines
on his brow, and the adoption of the American
cut of beard and moustache had not improved his
appearance in the slightest degree. France re-
mained with him some little time, and to him the
abject victim confessed, that he would rather die
than return to England. France next proceeded
to search the drinking saloon which Sadler had
taken, but all the fellow had in the world, as shown
by his till, was only some eight dollars.. Sadler
said the woman who accompanied him had left
him a few days after they landed, at a place called
Cornwall, near Montreal, and he had not seen her
since. Next day Sadler attempted to dispose of
his spirit store for 3GO dollars which he proposed
to hand over to the officer, but no buyer could be
found. In the afternoon, a fellow named Swan,
of whom Sadler had purchased " the Swan," in
the Bowery, engaged Mr. Sedgwick, a solicitor,
to watch the case in -his behalf, and when the
matter came before the police-magistrate, Sedg-'
wick contended that the Ashburton Treaty did
not recognise the class of offences known as, em-
bezzlements, and that Sadler must consequently
be discharged. This being undoubtedly the law,
the prisoner was ordered to be discharged.
France's object was. either to secure some share
of the spoil, or to get Sairni-Ori board the Cunard
boat, but in both respects he was unfortunately
unsuccessful. As far .as regards money, Sadler
was evidently without any, and as to being en-
ticed on board the Africa, he was too old a sol-
dier thus to be caught. By way, hoWever; of
acknowledging France as an acquaintance, he
actually condescended to bear his company until
the 'Steamboat Wharf was neared, and,then he
took a gleeful farewell of his uncomfortable
I),rother Yorkshireman, who within a few minutes
,stood on the deck of the Africa,' on his way back
England.

Whilst at Hamilton, France lu
f Terry. This precious scoundaq

some news

known

to all the detectives in that part of the country
photographs of him being in the possession of
most of them. He took good care, however, to
keep away from dangerous ground. He is occa-
sionally heard of at Buffalo, Cincinnati, and
Chicago ; ,but the strong arm of the law is not
strong enough to reach him within the borders of
these States. France was in a drinking saloon
at Niagara Falls where Terry was lodging, at the
time Blondin was really performing his dangeiOus
exploits ; but the ex-Grand Master of the Odd-
fellows is not at present definitely to be heard of.
The detective-officer.sailed from New York on
the 26th of October, and arrived at Liverpool on
Sunday ; the
distance he has thus traversed in 40
days being Over
7,290 miles.
