AN OLD TRICK.—The following trick is
played off once a week, and yet fresh gulls are as
found :—On Thursday Mr. Rosa, a wealthy farmer, 1""ia
the eastern part of Kent, after transacting some businetj:
the Hop-market, in the Borough, was taking .a quiet °i:j
to look at the new London-bridge, and had nearly, reach I
the spot, when he saw three well-dressed, men 041fisf
before him, and in a moment or two observed one, to
them stoop and pick up something, which appeared.
;
Mr. Rosa like a pocket-book. The three men ot°Prt;
and the farmer stopped, and he overheard them say 0/I_,° ht
another, " Here's a bit of luck; who would have thout
of meeting with such a prize as this—my eye, but thi° red
lucky go." The farmer's curiosity was by this time v.OO
powerfully excited, and he could not resist the.teloPti,tdri
which he felt to ascertain what they had found, an,c1..,54 a
ping closer to them he said, " Yon seem to have ton,it
prize; pray, gentlemen, may I be so bold as to ask 0",/,
it is?' " Why, Sir," said one of them, " I don't 'lt
that it's any thing to you exactly ; but, however, you rd-it
to be a gentleman, and we can have no objection to TO
you." They then showed him a pocket-book in 0" le

jewellery, and with it was a receipt purporting, to
that it had been purchased that day at an eminent rule' esik.
in Regentistreet, and that the sum paid wa5:209411.
" Bless me," said Mr. Rosa, looking with eyes Of,ad°l
Lion upon the costly display, " this is a prize iodeed;oke
wish you joy, gentlemen." One of them hereuPnoye

before us, receipt and all, and what end could Warier/6'04
drop this? Besides, if there was any trick in itore to
have had some of the gang about us before now." ij,
further conversation took place, and' one of the partY •
" Well, I don't know what we shall do with these tilif4jy
I wish we could sell them ; I wonder what they are far
worth." They then offered to sell them to Mr.,Ros' fie 1

offered 501., which they consented to take ; but he hle
pened to have no more. than 401. about' him, whiP",i't

As soon as a few of his Borough friends had asseT.s7,ol
