variety of valuable household and 'other property,
belonging to the Baron Noleken;was to be sold
by auction Yesterday morning, at his house, No.
12, Bulstrode-street. The Baron stated Alta( the
advertisement was intended as a gross imposition
upon the public to answer some fraudulent pur-
pose, as the property advertised to be sr/Melia not
belong to him, nor did he ever live in the house ;
be therefore wished that all the parties who might
be discovered to be concerned in the transaction
should be rosecated.
The Magistrate informed the Baron the trans-
action was not of a criminal nature, or sufficient
fcr him to grant warrants, or to authorise per-
sons to be taken into custody ; but he was ready

Mason, three 'constables, to attend the Bat-on to
the house of sale. -They proceeded to Hoist:ode.
street, where they found preparations fur the sale,
with carpets hanging ow,. and catalogues of
them. The catalogues did not correspond with
the advertisement in the N!.wspnpers, Baron
Nolckeu's name not being mentioned. They
merely stated that the household furniture was to
be sold by Messrs. liogarth and Co. without re.

to be viewed, and catalogues had at. the place of

female acting as a servant, who said her name
was Margaret. Baker-, but site either did not or
would not know who employed her. or wil." the
house and property belonged to ;, in fact nn sa-
tisfactory account could be obtained from her.
