THE CONFIDENCE TRICK.
A Chinese cook, living at No. 63, Bonham Strand has reported to the Police that on the 26th instant, while ke was on his way to pay some bills with $65.75 received from his master, he met two men who produced sa cavelope, saying it contained 8800 in haak-notes. and asking him to change it for them. The cool undertook to do so, whereupon the man asked him for a guarantee. He unwittingly Iuded then the $05,75, obtaining the envelope in exchange. When the men went away he opened the envelope and, to his consternation, found nothing but waste paper in it.
A married woman, living at Na 230, Shanghai Street, has reported that while Mrs Hooper and Mrs, Hale v. Mrass was proceeding to Yaumati on the Wood and Miss Rodger
