SUPPOSED NOTE ROBBERY.—On Wednesdaylast Fran-
cis Trapps, a young man of rather genteel exterior, was
brought up before John Holmes, Esq., the siting magis-
trate, (Mr. Rushton being absent from town) charged with
having in his possession stolen £lOO notes. Mr. Dowl-
ing stated that the prisoner had been offering a £lOO note
at Messrs. Joseph and Co.'s bazaar, Bold-street, under
circumstances of very strong suspicion; and there having
bee❑ lately some very extensive robberies of notes in
Liverpool, it was deemed ad%isable to apprehend him.
Mr. Joseph, jun. deposed that on Tuesday afternoon the
prisoner came to their shop and asked to look at some
watch-guards, which were immediately shown to him
when he asked the price, and was told £4 10s. After
making an objection to the charge, and some slight at-
tempt at bargaining, he agreed to take one, and offered
a £lOO note payment, telling them to take the £4 lOs out
of it, and give him the balance ; he also wished particu-
larly to know if Mr. Joseph had change in the house.
The note was then sent to Barned's bank, to ascertain if
they knew of such a note having been stolen, but no in-
formation being received calculated to criminate the pri-
soner, it was brought back ; and, during a conversation
which took place in the shop respecting it, the prisoner
snatched it out of Mr. J's hand, saying that if he would
go with him to his office, he should obtain payment for
the watch-guard. Mr. J. then went with him and on
arriving in Wood-st eet, the prisoner beckoned to a per-
son who was on the opposite side, and on his coming up
something was passed (supposed to be the £lOO note)
from one to the other ; the prisoner, who had previously
stated that he had no change in his possession, then drew
five sovereigns from his waistcoat pocket, and tendered it
for the guard chain. Mr. Joseph said he must know
something further about the £l2O note, and would not
leave him until he referred him to some respectable party
where they might inquire how it had been obtained. The
prisoner, however, said, with apparent self-possession,
that he would take him to Mr. Cornish, in this town,
where the matter would be explained in the most satisfac-
tory manner. They accordingly proceeded to Mr. Cor-
nish's office, at the tanning duck, but he was not there,
and after an unsatisfactory account from the clerk the
prisoner was given into custody. On searching him, a
new silver watch, wins the maker's name, " Litherland
and C 0.," and between £5O and £6O, was found on his
person. He was also disguised by a pair of whiskers.
Mr. Davies, of the firm of Litherland and Co., stated,
that he sold a watch to a person on the previous day, and
received a £lOO note in payment, but the man to whom he
sold it had no whiskers. Under all the circumstances
of the case it was deemed advisable to remand him, with
the view of discovering the owners of the notes. On
Thursday he was again brought up, when Mr. Dowling
stated tint he had discovered the parties from whom the
money had been stolen in Liverpool; but as it would be
necessary to trace the notes through various hands pre-
viously to producing evidence, he wished him to be fur-
ther remanded. The prisoner was then put down. On
Friday the prisoner Trapps was again brought before
the Police-court, when Mr. W.Kaye Brownson, cashier
in the district bank, was called, and he deposed to
receiving a £lOO note, which was produced on the
27th of May. The note was put amongst other notes,
and in the course of business wonld not have been
paid out of the bank before the day following. On
the 28th he discovered that three of the £lOO notes were
missing from his cash, and as 21 £lOO notes had been
paid away that day, it was necessary to have further time
to trace them. Mr. Davies of the firm of Litherland and
Davies, of Bold-street, stated that a person like the pri-
soner called at their shop on Wednesday, the 29th, and
purchased a watch, for which he paid the note produced,
and received in exchange £75 in notes and 17 sovereigns.
The watch was found on the prisoner, and a number of
£lO notes rrcduced. Eut Mr. Davies could not ifentify
any of them. Hr. Dowling then applied for a remand for
a week, to enable them to trace the notes, as at least
fifty payments had been made. This was objected to by
Mr. Ped der on behalf of the prisoner, but the bench de-
cided on granting the application, but the prisoner was
remanded to Thursday.

Emulation, in whatever pursuit, where general utility
is the object in view, is one of the immutable privileges of
genius ; but it requires no slight degree of perspicuous
attention to distinguish originality from imitation, and
the exercise of caution becomes of more than usual im-
portance, where the effect of a remedial application (both
as regards health and personal appearance) is the subject
of consideration : these observations are imperatively
called for from A. ROWLAND and SON, of London, whose
successful introduction of many articles of acknowledged
and standard excellence for the Toilet has given rise to
fertility of imitation, perfectly unprecedented : they
would have deemed observation unnecessary were
tempcn,ry deceptions unaccompanied by permanently in-
jurious effects—it is with reference to ROWLAND'S
KALYDOR for the Complexion, that the public are par-
ticularly interested in the present remarks. This prepa-
ration, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invigorating;
the result of scientific botanical research, and equally ce-
lebrated for safety in application, asifor unfailing efficacy
in removing all Impurities and iscolourations of the
Skin, has its " Spurious itations of the most
deleterious character, conta. ing mineral astringents
utterly ruinous to the Compl ion, and, by their repellant
action endangering be th ; bile, to render Deception
less palpable to the inc s, and to facilitate Substitu-
tions, the language in w ich ROWLAND and Sort are
accustomed to address the public is unhesitatingly copied :
they therefore respectfully and earnestly invite attention
to these remarks—the return of Spring, and with it the
well known prevalence of Cutaneous Defects, rendering
it the Season of an anticipated harvest to unprincipled and
speculative imposture. The genuine article has the words
" ROWLAND'S KALYDOR" on the wrapper. *** All
others are Fraudulent Counterfeits.
