SWINDLING.

Some days ago a man called at the house of Mr. Tyrrell, looking.
glass manufacturer, Greek-street, Soho, and delivered an order, of
which the following is a copy :
" Sir--We require for a friend of ours, who is going abroad, the
completion of the following order • viz. one set of handsome ivory
chess-men from Si. to 61. one set baekgammon-men, and handsome,
but not very expensive, board, on account of the rough usage gene-
rally experienced at sea, and epare chess-board ; and, u we are not
ourselves competent judges of the above, we trust to the respectabi.
lity of your establishment to execute the same in such a manner as
will induce us to hand you any further similar order in your way
which we may have the honour of being intrusted with. We beg to
add, that we are limited in price, not to exceed 121. or guineas' for
the a hole, and to be delivered after 'Change, say six o'clock to.
morrow. " We are your obedient servants,
" 70, Mark-lane City. " MAGNUS, KLEIN & Co."
The person Who left this order was a shabby-looking porter-
, like man. The goods were got ready, and sent off by Mr.
Tyrrell, who desited his messenger not on any account to
leave them without payment. The messenger called at No. 70,
and saw a clerk, who said that Mr. Klein was not at home,
but the goods might be left, and the man might call again.
" No," said the messenger, " I have orders to be paid first,"
and he departed, notwithstanding the urgent manner In which
he was addressed. Mr. Tyrrell, who suspected from the man-
' neat in which the letter to him was couched, that some trick
was intended, called himself next day at the counting-house of
Messrs. Klein anti Co. with the box containing tke order, and asked
for the principal. The clerk replied, according to custom, that Mr.
Klein was not at home,—that he was at the Docks, or the Custom-
house, or acme other place of public business. Mr. Tyrrell men-
tioned that he had sonic pods for the firm, and he was politely re.
quested to leave them, and call again. lie made some excuse,
which induced the clerk to suppose that he was capable of being
done, and was then told that Mr. Klein would be back in a few mi-
nutes. After sonic delay, the principal came into the counting.
house ; but what .was Mr. Tyrrell's surprise at seeing the very per.
son who had called upon him as the messenger of the firm, appear-
ing as the master of the concern 1 Mr. Klein was, however, dressed
in clothes very different from those in which he had delivered the
letter from himself. He assumed the air of a man of consequent*,
without being at all embarrastied, and desired that the box should
be left, and said that Mr. Tyrrell should have the amount, which
was 101. in a few hours. " Why; said Mr. Tyrrell, " you don't
seem to remember me, Mr. Klein." " No," said the principal;
" I never saw you before." Mr. Tyrrell then seised him by the
throat, and accused him of an attempt to coqimit a robbery; but,
considering that he had no charge likely to be recognised by a ma-
gistrate, he gave him a violent kick behind, and left the counting-
hue, after having afforded much entertainment to some of the
neighbours who were aware of the character of the concern.
