AN AUDACIOUS SOLDIER.—On Monday, at the
Colchester Police-court, John M'Selly, a discharged soldier,
was charged with conspiring to defraud Adolphus Powell
and others of considerable sums of money. The prisoner, it
appeared, lately announced that by the termination of a
Chancery suit he had become possessed of a large fortune,
and on the strength of his statement, which is quite untrue,
he has been duping several unfortunate tradespeople, &c.
Mr. Powell advanced him money at different times to the
amount of £4OO, and the prisoner, wh,e gave a promissory
note for the amount, agreed to settle £l5O a year upon Mr.
Powell, with the understanding that lo gave up his busi-
ness and accompanied him on his travels. He purchased
gold rings and watches of tradesmen, and then absconded
to Ireland, where his fortune, which in England had been
returned at the comparatively moderabe sum of £B,OOO, rose
to £46,000. The place first visited by M'Selly was Bally-
bay, county Monaghan, where orders were given unspar-
ingly to the local tradespeople, and the Catholic priest was
promised a donation of £5OO for his chapel, &c. The same
game was next played out at Dundalk, but an application
to a gentleman for a loan of £5 rather dimmed his reputa-
tion, and ho found it advisable to pass on tolDrogheda, and
from thence to Dublin. Finally he turned up penniless at
Colchester, where he first succeeded in palming off his
audacious ruso. The particular charge gone into ou,Mon-
day was one of defrauding Mr. Powell in regard to a
pawnbroker's duplicate for a watch and chain, and after
hearing evidence the magistrates remanded the
