INGENUITY or FRAUD.


We find the following story in Francis
"HistOry Of the Bank of England: :"
In 1870 a gentleman Of eninence in the
mercantile world was gricved by the contents
OF q lettor which he received from q CORE
spondent ut Hamburg, the post-mark Of
which it bore. From the statement it con
tanned, 1t appeared that person, most min
ntely described, had defrauded the writer,
under extraordinary circumstances, Of $1,000.
The letter continued to say Information had
been obtained that the defrauder the dress
and person OF whom 1t described was occa-
sionally to be seen at the Dutch Walk of The
Royal Exchange. The object Of the writer
was to inform his correspondent TO invite the
party to dinner; and by any moral force
which could bs used, compel him to return
the money; adding, that If he should befound
amenable to reason, and evince any signs OF
repentance. he might be dismissed with n
friendly caution and G5Oo, as no was near
relative OF the writer. As the gentleman
whose name It bore was profitable CORE
spondent, the London merchant kept keen
watch on the Dutch Walk. and was mt last
to tho cheat.
The invitation to dine was accepted, and the
host, having previously given notice to his
family to quit the table soon after dinner, ac-
quainted the visitor with his knowledge of the
fraud. Alarm and horror were depicted in
the cOuntenance OF the young man, who, with
tones apparently tremulous with emotion,
begged his Disgrace might not be made public.
To this the merchant consented, provided the
$4,000 were returned. The visitor sighed deep
ly; but said that to return all was impossible,
as he had unfortunately spent part OF the
amount. The remainder. however he pro
posed to yield instantly, and the notes were
handed to the merchant, who, after, dlating
on the goodness Of the man he had robbed.
concluded his moral lesson by handing n check
for $500 as proof Of his benefcence. The
following morning the gentleman went to tho
banker to deposit the money he had received,
when, to his great surprise, he was told that
the notes were counterfeit. His next inquiries
were concerning the check, but that had been
cashed shortly after the opening OF the bank.
He immediately sent an express TO his Ham
burg correspondent, who replied that tho let
ter was a forgery, and that no fraud had been
committed upon him Tho whole affair had
been plotted by gang. some Of whom are on
the Continent and some in England
