keeper in Trimley, during his absence, and, under pie-
tence of telling the fortune of bis daughter, about 16
years of age, succeeded in fishing out that she had seventy
sovereigns in her keeping, with which she was foolish
enough to cross the hands of the imposter, and to turn
her back while the money was deptsited in a tea. caddy,
after which she was assured of a happy marriage, and pro-
mised a surprise on the 20th, till which day sbe was not
to examine the tea-caddy. tier faith held out only, till
the following day, when she found that the place of the
sovereigns had been supplied by a few half-pence. Mr.
Warner being appriz,fl of the loss, pursued the gipseyis
in company with some constables. After some parleying;
the gipseys produced 6$ sovereigns, and gave a horse as
s•curity for the retna:tider. They were then b ufflred t()
