How To Live IN LONDON.—A tradesman, having a
SOL bill to pay, and but a 201. note to pay it with, re-
sorted to the following stratagem :—He cut the note in

how awkwardly he was situated, in having that morn-

G,►tsa or Boacit.Aas.—The four men apprehended
at Truro under suspicious circumstances, as stated in
our, last publication, have undergone several exami•
nations before Captain Devonshire; but though per.-
sons from Swansea and Greenock have come down,
and two officers of the London police—Forrester, of the
City, and Bishop, of Bow-street—have attended, they
weie unable to identify any of the parties as connected
with the' robberies of the Bank at either of these places.
The officers are, however, well acquainted with the
patties, of whose profession there is no doubt. The
per,.ons calling themselves Jenkins, Ellis, and Jones,
have been committed to the house of Correction at,
&drool for three months as rogues and vagabonds,
lot having in their possession skeleton keys and other
instruments used in house-bre.king, without being
able to account satisfactorily for the way in which
they carte by them. The fellow who calls himself
Thomas Broad is considered to be the leader of the
gang. He has also gone by the names of Robinson and
Thornly, and appears to be an adept in his line.
. He admits having been concerned in the robbery of
the FAmouth bank, in 1811, by which he netted a
considerable sum, paid for the recovery of that part of
the plunder which could ■ot be safely got rid of other•
wise; he was also tried and convicted of stealing
plate, belonging to Sir E. Pellew, at Plymouth, se-
veral years since, and suffered two years imprisonment.

the utmost indifference ; said they could prove nothing
against him, anti finally handed the officer a 501. Wink
of England note, which he had rolled up to the size of
a large pea, and which he kept amongst tobacco, in a
br,x he carried in his pocket, desiring that it might be
taken care of for him. This fellow is still kept in cus-
tody here, in the expectation that a clew may be obtained
for connecting him with some of the numerous bank
robberies that have' occasioned so great a sensation
throughout the country.—West Briton.
