you that am detective police-officer, and that
you are my prisoner"
Police! prisoner!" shouted the astounded
man as he leaped to his feet: "what are you
talking OFF,
~ will tell You. Your brother-in-law EN-
ployed you to discount the note now in my pos
session. You did so, pretending to be a Mr.
Brown, the agent of Mr.. Curtis but the vii.
lainous sequel of the transaction-the charging
young Mr.. Webster with having stolen the very
fftypound notes you gave him in the coffee
room of the Bay-tree tavern--I do not believe,
thanks to Master Hutton's success in suppress
ing the names in the police reports, you can be
aware Of"
The bewildered man shook as with ague in
every limb, and when I ceased speaking, pro-
tested earnestly that he had no evil design in
complying with his brotherin-law's wishes.
II am willing to think so,' / replied but,
at all events, you must 60 with me to London
quietly were BEST
To this he at last, though very reluctantly,
consented; and half an hour afterwards we
were in the train, and on our road to London.
The next morning. Mr.. Websters solicitors
applied to Mr.. Hutton for the immediate iqui-
dation of the bonds held by their client. This,
as we had calculated, rendered him furious;
and Edmund Webster was again arrested on the
former charge, and taken to the Marlborough
street police office, where his father, Captain
Bramston, and other friends, impatiently await
ed his appearance. Mr. Hutton this time ap-
peared as prosecutor, and deposed to the safe
custody of the notes on the morning of the rob-
berry; Gi = - .,v,.. !, ..,d n. wshs,e,,s .o,.;.
tor, "that you did not with your own hands
give the pretendedly stolen notes to Brown, and
to oh IN Mr. Nurtsoo NO mo
to young Mr.. Webster2''
Hutton, greatly startled, glanced keenly in
the questioner's face, and did not Immediately
answer. "No, did not" he at last replied in
low, shaking voice.
"Let me refresh your memory. Did you not
say to Brown, or rather Skinner, your brother
in-law"---
A slight scream escaped the quivering lips
Of the detected conspirator, and blaze Of fren-
zied anguish and alarm swept over his counte-
nance, leaving it as white as marble. No
further answer could be obtained from him,
and as soon as possible he left the Office, fol
lowed by the groans and Kisses of the excited
auditory.
Skinner was then brought forward !; he made
full and ample confession, and Edmund Web
ster was at once discharged, amidst the warm
fluctuations of the magistrate and the uproari-
Gus gratulations of his friends. 1t was intended
to indict Mr.. Hutton for perjury; but the un-
happy man chose to appear before higher tri-
bunal than that of the Old Bailey. He was
found dead in his bedroom early the next morn
ing. His affairs were found to be in a state Of
insolvency, though the deficit was not large;
los in the pound having been, i understood,
ultimately paid to the creditors. Miss Ellen
Bramston, must not, in conclusion, omit to
state, became Mrs. Edmund Webster shortly
after the triumphant vindication Of her lovers
character; and / believe Miss Webster was
made wife on the same day.
