THE ABSCONDING OF A LIVERPOOL MERCHANT.—
All doubt is now set at rest as to the Liverpool merchant
whose sudden flight early in the week created so painful
an impression. According to the tenour of a police notice,
the person in question is Mr. W. J. Harris, the managing
partner of the firm of George Wright and Co., of
2, South John-street. The charge against Mr. Harris is
that of forging commercial documents to the extent of
81,00, but that amount is said to be a mere trifle as emu•
pared with the full liabilities, lie hold a good too al
poe#lon in the towns - •
