sale of fancy articles and agemelmaiiwho said he resided at hoxton called with a fewpaintingbrash- es used in a certain department of the act and said he shoald leave them for experimental sale as he dealt largely in the article the lord mayor a very good beginning 1 daresay die did notsk for any money at that time complainant not at sit it was an article for which there is but little call i told him to leave them but i gave him no encouragement the lord mayor no he didnt want any he knew how to do his business without any tiling of he kind a langh complainant some days passed when another gentleman came into the shop and askedtor some painting brushes and the moment he described the oct he wanted thinks i can just mach you and dowo 1 pulls the brushes which the hoxton gentle- wan had left with me the lord mayor aye they were just the thing he wished to deal in complainant certainly my lord they were one would think that your lordship had heard the whole business before well he at once said these are tba very articles and i shall want 15 worth of 4hem s soon as possible i told hira i should see what i tfould do and as the hoxton gentleman men tioned that he should look in as he passed by in a few days i looked out anxiously for him the lord mayor and ill engage you were not disappointed complainant no my lord for he happened to pass by that very evening as i stood at the door oh says lie apparently in a hurry 4t was just go ing to no 17 anything in my way so 1 asked him in and told him 1 should want a quantity of the sample and next day he brought me x10 worh hich he

been done neither of them ever called since and 1 have more paintingbrushes than i shall be able to sell in 20 years i have just been inquiring in tokeohouse tard for the gentleman who ordered the bi writes but although i knocked at every door i couldnt hud any such person the lord mayor why didnt you inquire for hira before you bought the brushes shopkeepers are constantly taken in by the want of common caution but 1 wonder that you have not been a suf ferer before this for you ran with your eyes open into the snare cnmptainaut i really believe that the two fellows acted in concert the lord

robbing the grounds of fruit and lowers- cannon accosted him and not being satislied at the answers given he at tempted to take the man into custody in doing which a contest of the most determined ami sanguinary description took place the robber who is a man of prodigious stature and strength drew a knife and inflicted several deep and extensive wounds on the head and face of cannon who continued tu grapple with his formidable opponent notwithstand ing he was faint from exhaustion and loss of hluud- at length the villain extricated himself from the hold ofthe policeman and ran olf cannon

common food the meal should be thoroughly cooked with the potatoes instead of being merely stirred iu after the potatoes are boiled as is yfteu practised if suffered to become sour before using it
