THE THIMBLE-RIGGING NUISA.NCE.---NOtWith•
standing all the warnings and casatioue that have appeared
in our columns, and in those of our contemporaries, the game
of thimble-rigging is carried on with as much success sar ever by the gang of swindlers who freciatent the Queen's-
park. They dare not ply their nefarious calling within the
boundaries of the city, as by a clause in the Police Act they
could at once be apprehended and punished. Bevontl th.
boundaries of the city, however, they can pursue iheir qt.!: tern of imposition with impunity, because the law of
land, as it at present stands, cannot reach them. Accordingl
