A number of young fellows at Hull replied to
this advertisement, and the bait was taken in
Manchester. The advertiser represented him-
!elf to be a Prussian by birth, carrying on
enbiness as a commission agent, &c., in this
city The Hull young lady was represented
being a Miss Wallis, having £1,500 in cash, two
houses, yielding an annual rental of £lB each, and
with great expectations from a relation, some 84
Years of age, upon whose death she would receive an
additional £7OO. A must tender and lively corre-
tbPondence took place, and the wife-seeking Prussian
1,11" ET in raptures with the lady's position. Ulti-
mately an interview was arranged to come off at
6,111'1. The gentleman wished at first that the
the should meet him at Goole, but this
to declined to do, and, therefore, he consented.
,go to Hull. The Hull wags accord-
tial-13' engaged the services of a young lady to
leießet The confiding fellow arrived from
da-,nellester by the seven o'clock train on Thurs-
hi: evening, He was most respectably dressed, and
in leanner appeared to be that of a person moving
dr good sph ere of society. The yoking lady was
eeessed in deep mourning, having a veil which con-
til
ed her featuros, and she carried in her hand a
;111411 white handP:erchief by which she was to be
4ieegnised. He so on espied the fair lady parading
hen Platform, and he went up to her and accosted
rin evidently the most polite terms. The lady
ven tered into conversation with him, and they walked
iel.l Platform together for some minutes, during
la 01 they were objects of considerable interest to a
nd of young fellows who were congregated about.
ito .ue stranger, however, seemed to pay no attention
he antics of these wags, being too much occupied
..'kith the young lady, upon whom he appeared to
stow a touching amount of attention. Presently, a
413 Was hailed, and the interesting couple seated
i,etnselves in it, and were driven to a house, where
"e3T both alighted. It was not until the gentleman
`was fairly seated in the front room that he dis-
Covered he had been victimised. He was here met
137 about 20 " cousins" or " near relations" of the
kind' Till as is generally the case in matters of this
was
unmercifully assailed with jeers and
Indifferent joks. After a time it was suggested that
the matter might be " made up" if he would stand
'lt dinner and some wine for his tormentors. This
'le refused most resolutely to do, and said it was
all a mistake ; he had come to Hull on business,
and he had never advertised for a wife. This
!tatement availed him little, and his ruthless
kaiersecutors determined that an "unpleasant ex-
anould be made of him." He was seized,
hi hat hat was smashed in, his stick was taken from
$t m, and he was then thrust ignominiously into the
20r. Here he was received by a :roved of about
I,o_ "nen and boys who had assembled, and were in
I%,!3eilsion of the secret. He was knocked about
ti2lte a dog in a fair," the people keeping up a con-
thunal chorus of " How's your wife," " What about
gLC twn hous=es," "Have you got the £1,500 yet,"
ci , He was pursued through several of the prin-
t'at streets in the town, about two or three thou-
bed People "chaffing" him on his way. At last
twoas conducted back to the railway station by
ttiPolice constables, where he was kept in safe
kasteclY until the departure of the night train for
Nt7,ll,ehester. An immense concourse of people
th-,„"ed to viitness his departure—the mob speeding
Parting guest with a farewell groan.
