A COOL IMPOSTOR,

About three weeks ago a dashing young fellow,
with a smatter of the cockney tongue, sporting a
dark moustache and a large amount of bombast and
jewellery, made his appearance at West Hartlepool,
and took up his locale at a refreshment house in
Church-street. He represented himself as E. H.
Howard, of Transept Villa, Norwood, London
offices at 90, Cannon-street, and chemical works in
Hackney-road. From his address and appearance
credence was given to his statements, and he was
entertained id the most sumptuous style. He said
the ebjact of his visit to this part of the country
was to erect chemical works, the steam communica-
tion to the continent being a desideratum, which
would prove highly lucrative, and a great induce-
ment for such erection. The "works" had to be
erected in January, and as he would require the
assistance of several clerks a young man named
Nelson entered into an agreement—which is now in
the hands of the police—to occupy the position of
general clerk, commencing with a salary of £75 a
year, to increase £25 a year for six years. He had
gained several friends among the frequenters of the
coffee-rooms at the principal hotels, and on a few
occasions, having accidentally come out without his
purse, was welcomely supplied with anything he
might desire, but he never would take more than
a sovereign. The niece of the party whom he
had honoured as a lodger lost her heart under the
influence of his amorous importunities; and as
time advanced he became more loving, and was
determined to make the fair one his wife. He ob-
tained the consent of the aunt, and was so desirous
of manifesting his wish for the welfare of the bride
expectant, that before the consummation of marriage
he purposed to make a marriage settlement of £2OO
a year on her, as a guard against the uncertainties
of large monetary speculations. The household of
the restaurant were all highly elated at the " great
catch" the young lady of the establishment had
made, and the happy day was looked forward to as
an event of no small moment in the annals of this
prosperous town. The dashing manufacturer was
sensible of his own position, and expressed his
eagerness that the day on which they should be
united should be kept in a truly aristocratic style.
Groat preparations had to be made, and all were
alive and in happy expectation, when, to the utter
dismay of the loving niece and the astonishment of
all the household, the gay young man decamped.

The aunt then began to consider the great expense
she had incurred in regaling this vile deceiver, and,
summing up his expentes, she went to the police to
seek redress. It has been ascertained that the fel-
- to Ferryhill, and he is supposed to have
gone north. Information has bten received that he
lids been playing the same game at Leeds and Mid-
dlesborough ; and, in order to stop his "little
game," Superintendent Dixon, of West Hartlepool,
hes communicated with the police of Newcastle,
Sunderland, and other northern sontown, ho will
more than probably "put the stopper "—New.
