BOW-STREET,—Mr. Elliman, manager to gesl,
W. H. Smith and Sons, the well-known newsvenderailo

make a statement with a view to warn the public ega', of
system of fraud which was being carried on by the
the name of that firm. It seemed that some person 14,

from Messrs. Smith. In each case he claimed paYraell-a
a small sum of money, the amount being marked on the °
side. His appearance being respectable no suspleiolloslo
raised, and the money was in each case handed t°
without hesitation. On the pgrcel being opened its CC;

of St. Marylebone for refusing to admit his servant'
