THE COMMISSION GANG.
(From Bell's Life)

Ma. EDITOR,—Cam you, or any of your numerous
readers, inform me whether Mr. W. Davies, the " Le-
viathan," ever advertises in any newspaper ? I am
anxious to ascertain the fact, in consequence of a person
advertising in the York, 'brad in his name, with an ad-
dress, 31, Duke-Btreet, Bloomsbury-square, and who, I
think right to inform the public, is a swindler. In the
same paper of last week auo ther notice appears, caution-
ing the public not to send any money except to Berke-
ley-terrace, Fleming-road. I fear they are one and the
same party, for I perceive th•sy give a fresh address after

In givint: publicity to the above letter (says the editor
of Bell's Life), the writer of which encloses his name and
addrs, we beg to repeat, for the thousandth time, that
Mr. Davies, the "Leviathan," siever advertises. It is
to be hoped that this expose will have the offict of check-
ing the career of the set of impostors referred to, against
whose advertisements in the Yurk papars--7as Mr. Davis,
Mr. Mather, Mr. T. Hughes, and other well-known re-
spectable bookmakers—we have on frequent occasions
cautioned the publ'c, without, we regret to notice, being
seconded in our tff ;as to put down such a swindling
system by the sporting portion of the provincial press.
