lMPosToRs AT WoRK.--We are inform
ed that a man giving his name as James P.
Borroek, and q companion whose name is
not remembered by our informant, passed
through King and Queen county a few
weeks since, representing that they were
sent through the country to take lists of
the property lost by loyal men during the
war. They demanded a fee of $15 on each
claim. This fee was paid at least in one
case, and perhaps in many more. They
were without doubt impostors, and we
warm the public generally against such
swindlers.
