CAPTURE OP A KING OP THE BEGGARS.

( From the Banffshire Journal.)

On Saturday last, the 7th inst., Constable P.
Milne, Alves District of the Elginshire Constabu-
lary, apprehended a bare-headed and bare-footed
vagrant at Rhininver, about a mile west from the
village of Dallas, iu consequence of several com-
plaints lodged by several farmers through that
parish, complaining against him for forcibly invad-
ing their houses, and refusing to leave them with-
out being served with money, &o. Milne conveyed
him to Elgin, a distance of 13 miles, and; when
brought to the police-office and interrogated as to
his name and country, he stated his name was Joan
or Shon Campbell, from Strath Gariech; Ross-
shire. When asked if be had any money, he pro-
duced a few coppers, and exclaimed, " Oicb, oich,
oich ; no, no, no. She has no moneys but tat.
Gich, no. No moneys. Very poor." The offi-
cers, however, were not satisfied with Mr. -Shon's
statement, and proceeded to search him, which he
most determinedly resisted, and tried : every
dodge, and made every kind of excuse he could
invent, before he would submit. • However, all
was of no use, and search him they would. On doing
so they found that he had three waistcoats on. The
pockets were all sewed up, and every one of them
youtained copper. Attached to every part of the
linings ou the breast of each was also a number of
bags, all containing penny and halfpenny pietas,
and when all were collected and put together, their
gross weight was about 20 lbs. When counted, the
sum amounted to it. is. in penny pieces, and 17s.
lid. in halfpenny pieces, amounting in all. to 1/.
18s. lid., including the•three halfpence prOduced
by Mr. Campbell at the outset. Mr. Shon had a
four bushel bag on his back, which contained every
kind of wearing apparel, and many other articles,
which, when weighed after the search, were found
to be upwards of nine stone weight, nearly the
weight of a boll of meal, and had been carried by
Campbell from Rhininver to Elgin, a distance of
about 13 miles, in about four hours. Campbell
states that he left his native place about the:begin-
ning of harvest, or as he says, " when the corn was
beginning to turn brown," and has collected every
article found in his possession since he came from
the " ferry over west."
