SW INDLING.
CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

A fellow Is ntiWlioingaboutlondOtTaUirsen:iro-s, swindling
the public, by stating to the " lady of the house" that he was,
some time since, on most intimate terms with her husband, and
that he is now most dreadfully distressed, his wife having been just
confined, &c. ; which plausible tale generally works upon the kind
and benevohnt feelings of the Indy, and the swindler, nine times
in ten, gets rewarded with a present. A fellow of this description
called yesterday morning at the house of a gentleman, residing at
la, Baker-street, Wilmington-square, and by the above tale of
woe, heightened by a relation of various other miseries which he
stated he was at present experiencing, prevailed on Mn.
in the absence of her husband, to make him a handsome present.
He sated that he was nephew to a highly-respectable tradesman,
residing on Holborn-bridge, which, upon inquiry, was found to
be correct, as far as regarded dr " rephewahip ;" but with respect
to his character, it turned out lo be worthless in the extreme, and
only deserving to be reprobated by every individual possessing a
single spark of COIIIIIOII honesty. He is a young man, about 30
years of age, dres•ed in a Hack coat and b'ue trowsers. and altoge.
thee hiss the appearance of being what is tennel s shabby genteeL"
We trust that this public sticement will be the means of guarding
the public against being further imposed on, and at the same time
of causing this swindling knave to be apprehenthd and brought to
justice.

lighted with their treat. A second division will visit these Exhibi-
