CAUTION 'lO MANUFACTURERS.--A rather novel
system of fraud was brought to light at the Southern District
Police Court, on Monday last. A woman named Jean Pol-
lock, who, along with others, receive 1* lbs. of am each day
from their employers, Messrs. Gourley and Co., was found
guilty of fraudulently retaining at least *lb. each day in her
possession. Beiifg obliged to return the 'Articular weight
received she effected both purposes by boiling the pirns, and
they being composed of soft wood, absorbed the water, thus
making. the w...i:ht .quit to that received. A woman named
