FRAUD ON THE INLAND REVENUE.

---..4,w-

(THIS DAY.)

An elderly man named Monk was placed at the
bar of the Bow-street Police Court charged with
fraudulently transposing stamps with intent to de-
fraud the Commissioners of inland Revenue.
It will be remembered that a day or two ago two
men named Bennett and Shipley were placed at
the bar charged with having a quantity of fraudulent
stamps in their possession, which they said they had
received from a man named Monk. They were
remanded, and the report of their examination ap-
peared in the papers. Yesterday the prisoner at-
tempted to raise money on stamps of a similar
nature and fortunately failed.
The fraud was perpetrated by the oval Queen's
head being cut from a penny foreign bill stamp,
and appeared very neat and cleverly over the can-
celled Queen's head of a two-shilling bill stamp,
giving the cancelled stamp all the appearance of
never having been used.
The first witness was

Fredk. Evans, a retirel army offic.r, who said—
I was in the Boar's-head public-house, Fleet-street,
yesterday, when the prisoner came in and Flak)
" Your better dressed than I am. I've some foreign
stamps, and I want to get rid of them." I asked
him to let me see the stamps, and,he handed me
over the four packages of foreign stamps I now
produce, saying they were worth about 12s.
I asked him if they were genuine, and
he said, " Yes." As I had not the money
I took them over to Carter's, the pawnbroker, in
Shoe-lane, and asked £6. The assistant told me
to sit down and that ho would speak to his master.
After waiting some time in the shop I was invited
to go to Mr. Carter's private office, where I was
given into the custody of a policeman. I was
asked where I got the stamps, and I told
them from a man named Monk. I was then taken
to the police station, but on the representation that
I could find the prisoner I was conducted by the
police to the Boar's Head, where the prisoner was
found, who was taken with me back to the police
station, and on Monk being asked whether he gave
me the stamps, he replied that he had.
George Duncan Arthur, a person who was pre-
sent when the transaction spoken to by the last
witness at the Boar's Head public-house took place,
confirmed his evidence in every particular.
Mr. Richard P. Walker, chief examiner of spoilt
stamps at Somerset House, said he had looked at
the stamps produced. He found there were 14 at 25.,
20 at 35., 21 at 41., and 16 at 55., purporting to re-
present foreign adhesive bill stamps to flat amount.
All the stamps had been fraudulently transposed
from bills that had been used, and a " Queen's
head," carefully cut from some other foreign bill
stamp, pasted over each stamp. It is intended for
the future to have the value of the stamp engraved
around the " Queen's head."
The prisoner was remanded.

COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.

Business in general is quiet. In the sugar market a
better tone is perceptible, there being more disposition to
buy. With this exception the aspect of the market is un-
changed.
