This thy has, we understand, been lately visited
by a person whose real name we are ignorant of,
but whose spe.cions address has tkceived several of
our respeCtable merchants, and induced them to ,
credit his representatioas of being the son of a Gen-
tleman of considerable property in the county of
Tipperary. Under this disguise, he has passed se.
veral bills, apparently accepted by opulent mer-
chants in Dublin, one of which h'as been lately re-
turned as a forg2ry, and the others are all suspected
to he of. similar fabrication. He first called, as we
intormcd, at the house of a very respeffahle
timber-merellat,t,an.i inquired:,4,ther hiaftt her's cars
nverr arri es!: tin being answered in the negative,
he mentioned that they were coming for timber, on
which he was pressed to wale in and take share of
a family dinner : he accepted the friendly invitation,
and his conversation was such as ell'effually imposed
on unsuspeding hospitality. He purchased several
pitinds worth of timber, and gave a pretended
Dublin acceptance of 501. in payment, receiving the
danence. lie then visited another timber-yard,
and haying made a. small purchate, accommodated
the firm with another 501 fictitious security, receiv-
ing in exchange for the balance an excellent draft on
Dublin, which, on being passed at another house.
induced a further VA netrotiati ,n. It is a pleasant •
circumstance for those Gentlemen who have thus
fallen viaims to their simplicity, that the sums for
which they have been respeaively Won it:, are so
very ii•deed, perhaps, such deceit silty ul-
timately prove beneficial, by inducing keener inves-
ligation into the charaeters of persons so very sic
c,anplishod in raising lise wind, as the anceessful
impostor we havaaadrl to, who,.we understand,
convetted the fruits of )iis impudence and ingenuity
into a bill on Bristol, 'and sailed with the first fair
wind that blew, after the transattions we have men-
tioned, having first etiimplimented an eminent linen
draper with his custom, and favoured him with a
spurious bill for 2.1 guineas in payment.
