THE QUEEN OF OUDE REMA RKABLE

HOAX AT BIRMINGHAM.

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY.
About ten days since, late i❑ the evening, two persons,
male and female, in exterior a lady and gentleman, drove
up to the Clarendon Hotel at Birmingham. They had
with them a large quantity of luggage, and after they
had remained for some time, intimation was given to Mr.
Herrison, the landlord, that the lady's son and brother
would soon arrive and take up their abode. Pesently
afterwards two gentlemen made their appearance, one of
whom represented himself as Mr. Wyndham, a member
of the firm of Vivian and Company, Great Bennett-
place, Fenchurchoitreet, and agents of the Queen of
Oude. Immediately upon the arrival of the last pair,
the first two made arrangements to depart, first calling
for their bill ; but on doing this, Mr. Wyndham said,
" Oh, never mind the bill ; it can be included in my ac-
count." Falling in with this suggestion, the lady and
gentleman departed. The next day paragraphs appeared
in the papers, announcing that the Queen of Oude and
suite were about to visit Birmingham, and that Mr.
Wyndham, their representative, had arrived to make
arrangements. Communicatio❑s were opened with the
Mayor, and his worship, anxious to do suitable honour to
his s.ugust visitors, postponed a pre-arranged visit to Paris
in order that he might be present to receive his guests—
sable, but feminine and royal—next Monday. A. mag-
nificent suite of apartments was engaged at the Queen's
Hotel, and at some of the principal manufactories inti-
mation was given, through the agency of the indefatigable
Wyndham, that a visit from the illustrious Asiatics
might be expected. Yesterday it was discovered that
the Mayor, the chief of the police, and a lot of other
clever people, had been very prettily sold. Mr. George
Richmond Collis, the proprietor of large electroplating
works, applied to Mr. Kynnersley, the stipendiary magi-
strate, for a warrant against Wyndham, who has made
a somewhat abrupt departure from his hotel, after run-
ning up a bill amounting to more than 151., which he
forgot to pay, leaving only a couple of shirts and some
luggage even less valuable behind him. Mr. Collis
stated that he had relied upon the information he had
received from Mr. Stephens, the chief of police, as to
Mr. Wyndham being really what he pretended to be ;
he invited the latter to dinner, who took with him a
couple of friends, and in the course of the cAlversation
thereafter Mr. Wyndham suggested what he (Mr.
Collie) should do to make the Queen of Oude's visit
agreeable. Amongst other things he mentioned that a
medal should be struck in commemoration of the occa-
sion. Subsequently Mr. Collis introduced Mr. Wynd-
ham to Mr. Soholefield, M.P., and other highly respect.
able persons. On Monday money matters came to be
talked of. Mr. Wyndham asked Mr. Collis if he would
cash a cheque for 201. on his London banker., for he
said, " I have been living rather freely lately, or I should
not trouble you. It is rather impudent in me to prefer
such a request, but perhaps you will excuse the liberty,
and do me the favour." Mr. Collis had, however, been
caught far enough, anything but cash the cheque ; he,
however, consented to lend 51. A misgiving as to the
character of his visitor at the same moment rushing into
his mind, he communicated with his London agents, and
soon ascertained by telegraph that no one had any
authority to make arrangements for the reception of
her Oudean Majesty in Birmingham. Further, that she
had no intention of travelling, and that Mr. Wynd•
ham was no representative of hers. This was from the
immediate attendants upon the Queen.
Having received this piece of information, Mr. Collis
had nothing more to do than to procure the assistance
of the police, who are generally very c'ever—(in Bir-
mingham, at least)—when a plot is all unravelled. The
arrest of Mr. Wyndham was sought, but he was too
acute for policemen ; he had quitted the Clarendon
Hotel abruptly, and search having been fi uitless so far
a warrant for his apprehension was applied for; the
charge being obtaining money under false pretences.
The magistrate said that the necessary steps would be
taken to comply with Mr. Collis's application ; but Mr.
Wyndham's whereabouts has not yet been ascertained.
