Co and the Bank of England. and he ia 10 be SEN
fenced to-day. So ends a rather remarkable crimi-
nal career. In this country Cooper was well known
as an incorrigiblc iorger but he went To England
with some $4,000 ieloniously obtained. set mp a.
an honest man aud gentleman, lived IN excellent
stylc. and was beloved by his neighbours one o.
whom cred in court he identified CoOpcrs hand
writing at the same time declaring that " more
highly educated refined aud honorable man than
the prisoner he had never met" All the time this
handsome, highly respected, accomplished and
refined man was winning the affections of the best
p,oplc and giving freely TO the poor, he was en-
,,,acd in schemes of swndling, two of which he has
now acknowledged. Forgery seems to be peculiarly
tbe crime Of sham gentlemen. and Tor the simple
