CAPTURE OF A KEN 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, in consequence of several com-
plamts 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, &c. 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 Shoe Campbell, from Strath Garloch, Ross-
shire. When asked if he had any money, he pro-
duced a few coppers, and exclaimed, " °rob, 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. Shop'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
contained copper. Attached to every part of the
linings on the breast of each was also a number of
bags, all containing penny and halfpenny pieces,
and when all were collected and put together, their
gross weight was about 20 lbs. When counted, the
sum amounted to 1/. ls. 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 egin-
ning of harvest, or as he says, when the cor bn
was
beginning to turn brown," and has; collected every
article found in his possession since he came from
the "ferry over west."
The following is a list of some of the articles
found in Mr. Campbell's travelling bag, viz. :—.B
blue bonnets, 2 cocked do., 17 shirts, 19 pairs of
stockings, 5 pairs of shoesz 11 pairs of trousers, 5
waistcoats, 3 coats, 16 pairs of braces (8 pairs of
them new), 12 razors, 214 tobacco pipes, different
sizes ; 33 snuff and tobacco boxes, all containing
snuff or tobacco, less or more ; one pound and a
half of tebacco, all in pieces of about an inch in
length ; 32 shoemakers' awls, the one-half of them
new, 28 darning needles, 400 buttons of different
shapes and sizes, 9 dressing combs for the hair, &c.
When Campbell was searched, and the money
weighed and counted, it was put into one of his
stockings, which it nearly I,=.lled to the head. He
then squatted down upon the .door, and seized hold
of the " moggan" (i.e., stocking), awl cried out,
" My G—, the moneys, the moggan,
him mogwganiti/
