ENGLISH COLD COINS ~sWEA TED.
swindlers Taking rs Much A. Fourteen
Grains From Some soveretsns.

SDecfdi Cdok Dsrpdeh 10 THE SuN.
LONDON. Dec 2.-Since tho beginning Of tho
year Il has been noted at the Bank OF England
that an unusually large number OF light gold
pieces arc in circulation. Finally. the mint
authorities instituted m Investigation. result
ing In the discovery that such coins are being
system aticaily "sweated" BY immersion In
acids. Those engaged In tho operations
are not common swindlerr, They
have capital and brains and are not
actuated by an overseeing greed. The Bank
OF England records show that the average
amount OF gold "sweated" has been six grains
from each sovereign. which would mean
profit OF about one shilling per coin. Appar-
emily. the mem bers OF the gang vary their
methods according TO the character OF the per-
sons to whom the 'sweated" coins are to DO
rendered. Some sovereiEns are barely grain
short In weight. while others are as much a.
fourteen grains. The coins appear fresh
min'ed. and It Ia impossible to detect the fraud
except BY weighing: but few person except
bankers keep scales delicate enough TO weigh
single coin. and q majority keep no scalss.
Up to the present the post ONCE has been
tho chief sufferer. and the matter has become
so serious that the Postmaster General has
issued q special warning to officers in his de-
partmsnt He warns the stan that all gold
coins received at post ofices should be
sent to tho Bank OF England for exam
ination, and that those found short
should be cut IN two and the deficiency made
up by tho officers who received them. But the
Postmaster General has failed TO assume
the resultant responsibility OF providing the
officers with coin-weIghinR scales and the
officers want 10 know how they are to detect
the coins which. apart from a few grains derc-
iency In weight. are genuine. A lively ngita-
ton is now a'cot. and II redress cannot be OBJ.
tanned earlier. the agRrieved officers will have
the matter brought before Parliament In Feb
ruary.
The headquarters OF the sweating gang are
believed to be In some provincial town. but all
efforts OF the mint and Bank OF England de-
tsctivss to locate the gang have 90 far failed.
