through the Patent Office is one Of the most
popular: and it is a curious fact that the craze
attacks the most apparently sober and prosalc
individuals. Next to patenting their own III
ventions, people take delight IN the idea Of
earning gold by helping on the discoveries Ct
others; and il was in this way that Wells
secured his stock of read y-lAade d1pes. From
Miss Phillimore he began by soliciting. With
artistic moderation, the paitry SUN OF hve
pounds. which developed as lltne Went on
into a total If close upon nineteen Thousand
asked for and obtained from hat unfortunate
victim Of his wiles. Mr.. French was swindled
in the same way out of about ten thouson1
pounds. 1t was a fueI-economising apparatus
TO be applied to marine engines which proved
the fatal fascination in these cases: and 1t does
not seem that either MrFrench or Miss Phllll-
more would have known a marine engine had
they seen one. AS a begglng-letter writer
Wells greatly distinguished himself, although
it is astonishing that his victims were not
warned WHEN. time after time, his promises Of
immediate cheques for huge sums turned out
to be delusive. AS long, however, rs he
could find persons ready to keep him IN luxury
his promises were always forthcoming il was
when he found that no more sums were to he
extorted that he had recourse TO threats. His
attempts to intimidate his despoiled victims by
pretending that they were liable for all the
debts contracted by IA bogus company which
they were supposed to have joined. undoubt.
eddy constitutes one of the worst features of
the fraud. By means of the large oontribu-
tions forwarded to him this adrolt swlndler
was enabled to fit up yacht with Oriental
magni6ceuce, and to vary the pastime' Of
breaking his pledges in England with that OF
breaking the bank at Monte Carlo. His
exploit in this latter line is matter of gamb-
ling history, but the forty thousand pounds
which he won in a few days al the Casino did
not do him any permanent good. From the
luxury Of the PalaiS Royal yacht he has de-
scended to a felon's cell, and his business
address in future will be Portland, without
the street. Even the glory Of being enshrin-
cd in a musichall song can hardly compensate
foe such a complete reversal of fortune as this.
Melancholy indeed, but thoroughly we'll

very heartless and shameful fraud has
met With an appropriate reward in the SEN
tence of eight years penal servltnde passed
upon Charles Wells, the Monte Carlo gambler
and ~patentes Of marine engines and musical
skipping. ropes. The trial Of this bold and
u~neorupulous impostOr has lasted a consider
able time, and the really important facts have
besn overlaid with such a mass Of details as
seriously to smbarrass the progress of the case.
There were no fewer han twsnty-three
serarat~ changes in the indictment, supported
BY q quantity of ill-assortsd documentary
evidence, which Mr.. Justice Hawkins esti-
mated to. weigh at least a hundredwelght.
Fortunately. the proceedings were presided
over BY a strong Judge, accustomed to crimi-
nal p~raotice. In the end, thanks to a lucid
.summlng.up. the jury were enabled to return
their verdict OF guilty without any protracted
,dslihsratioq. There have been few swindles

GOVERNOR G~ORMANSTON.
Demerara Argosy 25sh MGrch.

The regime Of Governor Gormanston that
began on January Is 1880. and ended ON
Thursday last when he sailed for England en-
route to his new appointment In tasmania,
has been described in public as uneventfnl,
but the term is about the last that could with
Justice be applied to a period OF the colony
history more pregnant with local his ORIG ~
cidents than almost any precedlnglu strum.
The termination Of the old tlme-honoured
constitution Of the colony, with ITS electoral
college and other archaic surroundings, ana
the adoption of a new and reformed one, wonld
alone render Lord Gormanston'S Government
memorable; but when to this Is added the
Portuguese riots in Georgetown IN 1889, the
estabIi shment Of the North west district, the
connection Of Barica with Georgetown by
telegraph. the sudden developement OF me
Gold industry, the restoration or rather the
reorganization Of the Militia, and the 'auto-
nomic legislation conferred upon Tire villages,
We have a succession Of by ordinary events.
not one of which could escape the notice OF
the future historian. When he arrived here
FIVE years ago from the Leewsrd Islands, Lord
Gorlnanston found a people ready to take h'n
on trust and deal with him according to ms
merits, but by no means preJudlced IN MS
favour. an occasional echo from Antigua nav
ing led to the belief that he was autocratlc.
