CAUTION TO GOLD SEEKERS.—A female of the name
of Fox, who supported an infant in her army, was
charged with attempting to pawn a spurious gold ring at
the shop of Mr. F. Howe, Catheriae•etreet, Litnehouse.
The complainant stated that the prisoner came to his
shop and offered a ring for pledge on which she said she
required 4s. His assistant took the ring, but when on
applying aquafortis to it he found that it was not gold.
He told her so, upon which he gave her into custody.
The Magistrate observed that there was always a
difficulty in these cases, and he asked the complainantif
he could prove that she knew it was a counterfeit when
he replied in the negative.
The ring was produced with alio a genu:na gold ring
and on sack of them was the Hall mark.
The complainant here remarked that they were so
exactly alike that he was deceived, and that if his as-
sistant had not applied the aquafortis to the spurious
ring it was likely that the ring would have been taken in.
The mother of the prisoner said that she had two
more in her possession when her daughter was at Mr.
Howe's shop, with whom she went. She brought four
rings at a wholesale house in the City, and gave 10s.
for them. She thought they were good rings.
Mr. Howe brought forward a witness, who said that
the rings were a good imitation of gold. There was not
a portion of gold in them—they were Loads of brass,
and not worth 2d. each.
The prisoner, who was in tears during the whole
examination, and the mother was told ;hat it she could
not get the money back for the rings she purchased, to
make a complaint before the Lord Mayor.
