stroll into an auction-room, where a quantity of jewellery

amount, lie tendered the five bundr':u pound note in pay-
ttalent. This circumstance, coupled with his very boyish ap-
arance,
excited some suspicion, when it happened that a

lust read of the absconding of a person answer-
thB bls description, he contrived to obtain the number of
note, which corresponding with that in the placard, he
gave notice of the affair to the police, and the bankrupt

And you absconded with bank-notes and other property
to five times tbat amount. What could have induced you to
take so fooP.sh a step ?.—M7 assistant, Hughes, induced me
to do so. I was tired of the business, and he having as-
nured me that by going with him to Ireland he could enable

jet to sea, or to the East Indies, I 'readily yielded to his

could not change our large notes, we retraced our steps to
Wolverhampton, where he (Hughes) remained in charge
of the heavy leggage ; and I proceeded to Bristol, when I
Was taken as above described, and at once consented to give
property I had taken with me.
and r' Hook and Mr. Taylor corroborated this statement,
added that the bankrupt was the son of an officer in this East India Company's service, who, dying when the
