opened in it one of the fellOws went. Their plin was that
only one should call at the same shop. One of them called
at Miss Bourne's, a stationer, as early as half-past seven,
and requested to see her, but being indisposed she was not

up, anu ne was requested to come again, which he did in
about an hour, and seemed very urgent for an interview, but
after waiting a short time again left, promising to " look in
presently" and stating that his business was to offer her the
sole agency for the sale of a newly invented Marking Fluid,
which he called " Golden Marking Fluid." Shortly after-

Miss B. expressing her surprise that two persons should be
employed at the same time upon a similar business, he re-
plied that he was one of the proprietors of the " Marking
Fluid," and that the gentleman who had previously called
was another of the firm ; he himself was a traveller for the
house Then pointing to some bottles of Stephens's Writing
fluid if " I ;(11--

ready sell our Ink." Miss B. inquired whether he was one
of the proprietors of that Ink, and he replied in the affirma-
tive, adding it was Mr. Stephens who lately called on you,
and producing, at the same time, several advertisements at-
testing the merits and extensive sale of the Golden Marking
Fluid. He again repeated his offer of appointing her sole
agent, stating the profits allowed. He affected to be in great
haste for her decision, as business called him elsewhere. So
Miss B. consented to become the agent, and, at his request,
wrote her name in a small memorandum-book which he pro-
duced. He then left the shop promising to send a few dozen
bottles of the fluid. In less than five minutes he returned
with several brown paper parcels, which he said contrived a
gross of bottles, and presented a bill of XII Bs., of which he
demanded immediate payment. Astcfnished at this unex-
pected demand, and at the fellow's effrontery, Miss B. in-
sisted on withdrawing her consent to what she had been in-
duced to imagine was merely a commission agency, and not
a purchase to be made upon the spot, adding that she had
been entirely misled. He, however, persisted in his demand,
and became very insolent, reminding her that the insertion
of her name in his memorandum-book had placed her in his
power, and threatened to employ legal measures for enforcing
payment. Finding that he could not obtain the money, he
departed, refusing to take his parcels with him, and within a
few minutes a lawyer's letter from a neighbouring office was
delivered to Miss B. demanding immediate payment of the
sum—au instance of " sharp practice" which has rarely been
outdone since the times of the renowned Dodson and Fogg.
In the mean time the fellow contrived to get between one
and two pounds from Mr. Freeman, a druggist, for some
bottles of his preparation, delivered under the same pretence
of appointing him sole agent for the sale of it, but acting to-
wards him with rather more caution ; and he might have suc-
ceeded in imposing upon others; but for the prompt mea-
sures taken by some gentlemen to whom Miss B. related the
circumstances of the imposture, and who traced the fellows
to the inn, from whence they were about starting, trusting,
no doubt, to the intimidating effect of their legal notice. Just
after its delivery the other proprietor made his appearance at
the shop ; but, frightened by a gentlemen whom he mistook
for a solicitor, he was glad to decamp, taking with him hi§
parcels of marking fluid, or whatever else they might con-
tain, and followed his accomplice, from whom Mr. Freeman
had, in the interim, obtained back half of the sum which he
had been induced to pay him under false pretences. They
then left the town as speedily as possible, and now are, no
doubt, trying to victimize elsewhere. Both are smartly-
dressed men, Jewish in appearance, and one of them evi-
dently a low-bred, illiterate man.—Welshman.
