J. PUNCHARD's
COMPLETE SYSTEM OF MEASURING THE

HEAD.
PERUKES in general give such an altered expression
to the countenance as to occasion dislike in the
minds of many, from the effect of makers paying little or
no regard to the model of the Head, which, being diffe-
ent in every individual, requires a corresponding difference
in the Peruke.
By my complete system of measuring the HEAD, I
am enabled to form accurately the same angle on the
Forehead as the growth of the Natural Hair. The fabric
from which the Hair springs in this perfect specimen of
Head Dress, is so soft-end imitative of the Skin of the
Head, as not only to baffle the scrutiny of the eye, but
also to deceive the touch of the most proficient Connois-
seur ; whilst from its extremely light and porus nature,
the wearer is entirely free from every inconvenience at-
tending the method generally adopted.
I respectfully call attention to my Skin-parting and
Crowns, the Hair being drawn singly through a prepara-
tion of Skins—the most perfect imitation of the human
Skin ever yet discovered. Finished Specimens may be
inspected at my Flair-cutting Eatablishment.

STEALING A COLT

John Stock, 25, was given in charge for having stolen a
colt, the property of Henry _Mercer, at Kirkby.
Hulton conducted the case for the prosecution. It
appeared front the evidence that on the night of the 7th of
November last, the colt was grazing in a field near Orms-
:iLirk, and that on the following morning it was missed.
On the same morning the prisoner offered the animal for
sale at St. Helen's, but having been unable to find a buyer
he left it at the Red Lion Inn, in that town, and wrote the
following singular letter to the prosecutor :
" Nov. 9, 1843.

•
" Dear Sir,—Your coltis at Ed ward Fiddler's, Red Lion,
St. Helen's. Please to send .1. Hollinsworth for it. He
can pay expenses with the money he owes me. It has
caught no harm. I hope you will forgive me, and I hope
every one else will do the same. I have now seen my
folly, and am very sorry for what I have done. I shall
be 300 miles off when you receive this, and I wish, as well
as you do, I had been as far off 12 months ago. Give my
respects to my wife, and tell her to make herself content.
She i-4s in no fault whatever, and she has enough to live on
comfortable ; and my parents will not see her want. You
must excuse me for not paying the post, for I have no mo-
ney than what will pay my expenses. Do give me time,
and I will pay you all. Please not to say anything about
it to G. Rushton. You shall hear more about this before
tong ; and I shall bid you farewell for the present, and
likewise bid farewell to drink.
" I am, yours truly,

JOHN STOCK.

"Mr. Henry Mercer, farmer,
(with speed)."
Mr. NVILKINs forbore from addressing the jury; but
.made a few remarks to the court, in the course of which
se said the only defence he had to make he grounded on
She subsequent contrition of the prisoner; as appeared
174:9zi his letter.

Business in Cotton drags along at a miserable rate; say 2,000

Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1844-03-26

was strictly equitable, and was adapted to every variety
of circumstance. The number of policies had increased
during the last five years from 4,308 to 6,001 ; the income
from prerniuns had increased from £70,591 to £90,500.
The average receipts for premiums for the five years
amounted to £85,125 per annum. The claims amounted
to £37,190 per annum, and the bonuses added to such
claims £1,450 per annum. The large number of assuran-
ces now existing afforded a security against such deviations
as might result from such a paucity of numbers. In con-
clusion, the Directors recommended the Society as one
which was as much entitled to public confidence for the
equity of its principles, as it was to preference for the
economy of its management and the liberality of its prac-
tice.

the Chairman said the remarkable clearness and accu-
racy of the report, rendered it unnecessary for him to
make any addition to its statements. li e could not, how-
ever, refrain from congratulating them on the state of
their affairs. It was certainly remarkable, that a society
started on the principle of low premiums rather than large
bonuses, should in the twentieth year of its existence, have
attained such prosperity, as to be able to disencumber it-
self of the weight arising from having shareholders, and
to give a handsome bonus to the parties whose interests
were concerned. The directors were determined to con-
tinue to watch over the interests of the society. Though
there might be societies which had larger connections, if
any one would show him an office which was conducted
on more honourable principles, he would not continue any
longer to occupy the chair. (Cheers.)
Thanks having been voted to the officers of the institu-
tion and to the chairman, the meeting separated highly
gratified with the day's proceedings.
