A system has prevailed within the last few years of rob-
bery and plunder, attended with the crime of forgery, that
has caused great alarm in the conainerri of world. In the
coarse of the last fortnight two installers have occurred,
both individuals previously holding a respectable rank in
society as tradesmen ; LOU guineas hare been offered for
the apprehension of the first, and lOU/. for the last ; their
cases are 'buil sr, each having drawn and accepted bills
with forged indorsements. The plan adopted by them was,
to to It, a bill broker with 7001. or SOOl. of bills out of date,
and request the loan of 56 11. upon them until they come
within the two months. The apparent respectability of the
person asking the favour, with the known character and
respectability of the supposed acceptor and ie4orsers, was
quite sufficient for the broker ; the money was always ad
vancesl, anti just before the bilk became due, they were re-
gularly called for by the party that had received the money
and taken up. It has since been ascertained that a fresh
manultrture of forgrd bills were prepared in time to cover
the others, and at length broke.' and private individuals,
when the detection took place, bad bills belonging to one
of these men, amounting to upwards of 1•2.0:NII. Ths
principlil sneer: re by this fraud arc those resident in and
about-Watling Street. It is said th• other person who has
absconded had ob:ained nearly half I plant. We under-
stand that both par.irs had regularly organised their plea
previous to escape ; their plire was melted into cash, all.
disposable furniturrsold, and every friend and acquaint-
ance. they could borrow ten peon& front were duped. A
week before their eight, they used to call soon after six in
the evening, heg the loan of a few pounds as their bankers
were shut, and they stood in need of a temporary sum at
their country residences.
