EXTRAORDINARY SWINDLE,

An old man, named John Dolan, the keeper of a
provision shop in the village of Primatestowa,
county of Meath, has been made the victim of a
most extrordinary hoax, by which he has lost a sum
of £llO, all the cash he possessed in the world. A
man, who gave his name as Morgan, and who was
known in the rural districts as a watchmaker, had
for some eight, months past been carrying messages
between Dolan, who had the reputation of being
wealthy, and a young woman styling herself Miss
Reilly, who, Morgan stated, lived at Donore, where
she had eight or ten acres of land, which she was
about to sell, and reside with an aunt at Ardee, in
the county of Louth. About six weeks ago Morgan
informed the old man that Mies Reilly had sold the
farm, for which she had received £2OO, and had
already gone to Ardee, after depositing the money
in the bank; that she wanted a steady, staid man,
and having heard that he (Dolan) was a good
dealer, she believed they would act a wise part in
putting their money and themselves together, and
opening a shop in Ardee. On Tuesday week Mor-
gan again paid Dolan a visit, and brought him the
happy tidings that Miss Reilly had consented to
meet him next day at Drogheda, when all matters
connected with the marriage were to be arranged.
Miss Reilly had also requested that Dolan should
bring ell his money with him on the occasion.
On Wednesday morning the old man harnessed
the horse, and proceeded with Morgan on the car to
Drogheda, taking with him £llO and two days'
provender for the horse. At Drogheda they met
Miss Reilly, in company of a young man who was
understood to be a relative, and who on a previous
occasion bad paid a visit to Dolan at Primatestown.
The meeting appeared to be a very joyous one, at
least on the part of Dolan, as the female was a
bouncing and rather handsome girl of 20 years of
age. It would appear that several half pints of
whisky were consumed in the course of a few hours
conversation ; and, so fascinated had old Dolan be-
come with Miss Reilly's appearance and agreeable
conversation, that he took out all the cash, in notes
and gold, threw it into her lap, and desired her to
take care of it. Some time afterwards Dolan pro-
ceeded to prepare the horse and car for the journey
to Ardee; but when he returned he found that the
party had decamped except Morgan, who seemed
to commiserate Dalan's position very much, and
assisted him in making search for them about the
place. Giving up all hopes of tracing the young
the
Reilly
previously o r her aunt
told
couple, he returned to his home, and gave informa-
tion of the circumstances to the constabulary. No
