TRAVILLEIei Tmoce.—During the assizes,
a " bagman" es John Bull would term him, but
a " commercial gentleman," as he probably
styles himself, arrived at York, and took up
his quarters at the Tavern. He gave out that
he was the nephew of Mr. Justice Bayley ;
and by virtue of such relationship, he found
way always made for him in the courts, let
them be ever so crowded ; and when no one else
could be accommodated, he was shown to the
right hand of the Judge, with whom he talked
as familiarly as if he had been indeed his relative;
He procured, as Judge Bayley's nephew, in-
vitations to several of the families in York—
and also to the Lady Mayoress's ball ; and he
carried on the farce so adroitly that no one
ever suspected that he was not what he gave
himself out to be, till the venerable judge
being questioned about his nephew, said he had
no nephew in York. And being reminded of a
young man who had sat upon the bench and cone:
versed with him—he said, " he took him for some
impudent clerk of the under sheriff's ; but lie was
no nephew of his." Shorn of his borrowed ho-
nours, the gentleman left York in his own cha-
racter ; his borrowed one having probably an
severed the purpose for which he assumed it.—
York Chronicle.
