A TRUSTING CUSTOMER.—A week or two since a de-
cently-dressed elderly man called at the shop of our
townsman, Mr. Muirhead, jeweller and watchmaker,
Buchanan-street, and quietly asked if his wat ch was
ready', or, in other words, if it had been repaired.
As Mr. Muirhead had no remembrance at the moment
of having done business with the man, he asked in
turn when he had left the article. " Oh," said the
other, " didna leave it in this shop, for ye
were ower bye in Nelson-street when ye got it."
Mr. Muirhead, "That must have been a long time
a,,0 then for we left Nelson-street in 1838—that is 17
years since." "But I left it wi' ye for a' that," said the
other. He was theu asked for the name and number of
the watch, which he described to a nicety, and on open-
ing the repository it was found safe and sound. Exactly
22 years have passed away since Duncan handed it in
for repair, yet he called for it at the end of that Periol
as coolly as if he had only left it the preceding week.
Duncan's account is—" Ye see, I'm a sawyer to my
trade, and gaed ower to America that season to see
how things were looking, for I kent the watch would be
safe till I cane back, but I staid a wee thocht larger
than I intended."—Glasgow Chronicle.
INSOLVENCY AND BANKRUPTCY (ScomxNu).—A bill
to consolidate and amend the laws of Scotland regarding
bankruptcy and insolvency has been brought in by the
Lord-Advocate and Sir G. Grey. It contains 178

of the 54th of George 111., chap. 137 ; the 2d and 3d of
Victori', chap. 41 ; and the 16th and 17th of Victoria,
chap. 53, are repealed. It is proposed that the act shall
come into operation on the let of November, 1855.
