epo they specify ran up OH ei LcV W ntl
mine host at length pressed for bis money, it was
agreed thar check should be drawn upon Coutts's.
The cheek came bsck b. return of post, with an
oulinous note appended to il, se't;ag forth that
Messrs. Coutts lad no effects" belonging TO
either Of the drawers. Miss Ellen overfowed with
virtuous Indignation declared that there could Dot

shicb N. Ge Y. ard his friend. who could not read
E,o,;h tooh for tite.deeds, and il was ult-
mately settled tba, ibe friend, VI Adten T., should
90 to London with tie check, and receive the
money a. Coutts's bmself Luckily for VI. l., his
utter icrorance of England and every thing English
forced hun to hsve recourse to the kind assistance
OF N Brunier, the landlord of the PanIon ho'ei'
where he bad lodged with u. Chen. AccomPa-
MED by NJ. Brunicr, N. AdIien I. appeared al
M,ssrs. Coutts's counter with his check; but he
had no sooner presented il than the clerk, whose
countenance assumed a stern aspect, declared be
would lave him arrested immediately for attemPt'
ing 20 obtain money under false pretenses There
were DO effects" 10 the order Of the dfawer.
The explanations of N. Brunier saved him IRON
this: but, reanW he the Malvern andlord, not get'
tipg hi. fly pounds arrested the unfortunate
bridegroom and threw him into Worcester jail.
The next day he wrote 10 NJ. Brunier, informing
him of biz imprisonment, insisting that taere must
be some mistake; tha. his wife certainly bad
bundred thousand francs in Coutts's bank, for be
had seen an scknon edgement signed by them 10
tba, feet, and, moreover that he had at the rad
dington station luggage belonging 10 his WIFE, 10
the value Of fcTty 1--we thousand francs, for when
be held q receipt, snl be begged N. Brunler to
lepd him the fifty pounds so that he might get out
Of jail ard put things right. N. Brunier replied,
asking for the Paddneton receipt, assuring the
young man that his wife had no money at CoutSs,
letting him know that he had been grossly de-
ceived, and promising to do Whist was necessary
to release lin. Meanwhile, the following corre-
spo1ience passed between the imprisoned bride
groom and his bride who immediately on his arrest
had tsken TO her bed On March 2lst she wrote:

chanted:

After weeks imprisonment, be was released
by the good Offices of ~ Bruler, who acted -
ward him generous part, and whose invest'ga
tons al LedbJIy soon unrayeed the whole mystery.
1t is Deedless to say that the Paddngton receipt
was as WORTHLESS. as the dep0it at Coutts's bank.
Miss Ellen. il appeared, Was the daughter OF
email farmer, who had recently moved into tas
neigbborhood. Size had two sisters, one of whom
wss out at ~ ryice, and the otoer was bar maid
