TO THE Al AGISTItATE —CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—MT
Makitts, barrister, waited upon Mr Tyrwhitt this morning
to ask his advice under the following circumstances :
Mr Makins said that on th 3 30th of May last the widow
of a lieutenant-colent I expired at her residence in Gliqices-
tet -terrace, Hyde-park, and the announcement of her death
appeared in a newspaper. A few days after a letter war
received from Frankiort addressed to the deceased lady, ant.
was opened by her daughter. The letter was as follows .--

'• Madame—ln conformity with your order we beg leav
to hand you six shares in the New Austrian Loan, the
drawing of which taxes place on the 10th September. A-
you perceive by the enclosed prospectus the ew Loth.
offers more advantage than any other hitherto. Please remi
-the amount of £5 iu a Bank note or Po4-office order, pay•
able to J DAltrotT, I ondon, but sent direct to us at Frank-
fort on-the-Maine. You may rest assured that every atten-
tion will be pail to your interests as if you were present a,
the drawing, and an official list will be provided. Tkanktr4
you for your kiwi order and wishing you . very StleCeSS.—

daughter of the deceased, He then want to the' addre:s 0
the London agent, Nu. 12, Langhatn-street, Portland-place.
and asked for Mr Daltroff, but saw a foreigner who said Mt
ff was not there. He then asked the foreigner Whether
he knew anything about the shares, and he said he did not.
but asked his name and address and said he would corn
ruunicate with the firm at Frankfort. A fortnight after h.
(Mr NI akins) received tee following letter from Frankfort:—

" Fratiktort:un7thLiMaine, June 30,

" Sir,—l have heard through Mr Ch. Haheu, of London
that you called on we to tuqutre by what. means we receive('
un order for shares from Airs M. Our traveller, Mr H
Morgan, called on Mrs M. et the latter end of March, ant
trout her received the order for those six shares in the Newt
Austrian Loan, whiCh we sent on the 10th inst. Now w.
regret to hear that. Mrs M. is dead, and we leave entirely it
you to keep the shares or not, but in the latter case, bet.
you to return them as soon as poestble.—We remain. &c.
" G. DALTROFF "
He (Mr Makins) wished to state that at the very .i.ne it
was stated the travel!-r called on the deceased I.tiy she wai
seen by no other person than her doctor, having been bed
ridden for some time, and that she was then in a dyink,
mate Another remarkable feature was, that although it
was pretended the order for the shares was given in March.
it was not executed till atter the death of the lady was au
nouLaud in the paper.

Mr Tyrwhitt--Then, no five pounds were got out of any
one?

Mr Making said that no money was obtained, and the
shares were still in his possession. He wished to know
what be had better do with them. He thought if puolicit)
were given to the matter, it would act as a wet ning to others.
The parties seemed to have chosen a widow lady, thinkini.
they would succeed better.
Mr 'l'yrwhitt hoped publicity would bo given to Mt
Makins's statement. The press was never more useal+
than when exposing cases of the kind, The press couk.
always show ;such persons up advantageou'ly to the public
It was well known that at Franitt ort there was a regular
mint for such things and also for supplying counter ei
money. He believed the Post•office euthoriiies haa stoppeo
the anaoyancl to some extent. He would advise Mr Makin,.
to retain possession of all the papers he had received in cast
something might tutu up.
