-"-.IIIIIPO-

FROM • KOLNING PAPSIL. ,
A considerable part of Mr. Colton's debiomera con-
tracted very recently, prior to his being deelaredibank-
trupt. The goods which he purchased of Mr. Hawley,
jeweller, in the Strand, amounted to nearly 1,0001. and
he gave bills for the same, with a reference.to his then
bankers, Messrs. kloares, Fleet-street. Mr. Hawley's
bankers made the neccs:ary inquiries, and the answer
given war very favourable, viz. that Mr, Colton con-
stantly I:ept cash to a considerable amount in the bank,
,and invariably paid his bills. Mr. Hawley was satis-,
fled, and would, with little hesitation, have given him
credit for sh,uble the amount. It also appears that Mr.
Colton kept a considerable sum of money is the hands
of Chapman and Fry, bankers.
A few days before he left trims for Epsom Races, he
drew $OOOl. from Ransom's bank, to which house be
had removed his property previously deposited at Hoare
and Co.'s. and he also drew out above 10001. from
Chapman and'Fry's. This property, it is believed, he
bad in his possession when he was at a gaming-house
in Bury-street, St.James's (which he occasioually visited),
an the night before the first day of Epsom Races.
this house he lost a trifling sum at play on that Rig)
'and to pay it was obliged to change one of a large ••
of 1.100 notes, which he then had in his pm_
and displayed to the company present. The followingi
morning, before he started for the Races, he changed'
another hundred pound Bank of England note -
pawnbroker's, near to his lodgings, in Princes-street,
Soho-square. He was observed with a number of the
,James's black le,, at the Races, and the Thurtells,
well as Weare, it is stated, were in his compan7
the Course. It has been ascertained, that when he
appeared, he had at least 40001. about his person ;
although rumours have been spread abroad that he
kin seen about town, and at Paris, • slate the Epsom
Races, upon inquiry these reports prove unfounded,
at least they have been traced to no.satisfactory source.
In consequence- of Mr. Hawley, one of Mr. Colton's
prinsipal creditors, receiving information, after the Com-
mission of Bankrupt was issued, that Mr. Colton waft
Paris, and nightly frequented the gansing-hooses at
IP4)ojs Royale, that Gentleman instantly set off for Peril
vie Calais, which direction 'he understood had beep
ken by Mr. Colton; but all inquiries tespecting him
an the way, by giving a dekripOcto of his person, proved
ineffectual. On Mr. Hawley arriving at Paris !lel
quented all the gaming-houses fora fortnight, but
Mr.'Colton was tube heard of. Mr. .I-Imlay made
quiries of the Police, and was told by one oftbentuthat
he could find Mr. Colton is two dap, as he bad.diseo-
vered the lodgings which be had recently 4uitted.”—
