It is one of the proud privileges of the English, said the Evening Standard 40 refrain from over. much kicking of a man when he is down.

From all accounts, we are left by the commentators to conclude that this frun- dulent converter of trust moneys, who robbed his latest girls of vietinis of no less ja sum than £154,514 in ten months, should figure for us as a sort of gross between a person of genius, with kind heart, crusading spirit, and a fine taste in champagne, and a ruuning knave who trailed of the cre dulity of credulous people "the number of which sees to remain a constant quan. tity throughout the ages,"

A CHARMED LIFE

Perhaps this view of the characte and personality of "H. B." is roughly correct. No other charlatan, adventurer, or swiller in history, not even excluding the magnificent. Count Allessandro di Curiostio, can I said to have possessed more than" "an insignificant share of Bottomley's variegated gifts, none hava ever occupied such a glittering place in the pamic ere, none has appearel to lead such a

Somebody reminds us that in the past. quarter of a century we have had to deal' with the following more or less prinely offenders against the Larcency Act:

1893.-Jabez Balfour, 14 years. 1904-Whitaker Wright, 7 years. 1912.-E. T. Hooky, 12 months. 1991-Thomas Farrow, 4 years. 102.-E. T. Hooley, 3 years.

Before Horatio Bottomley all of these must how their crestel heads. They were all eminent" nad competent each in his line; they were all, magnificent saqpl. erers, dispensers, and appropriators of other people' money; they were all "clever financial jugglers, fairy go fathers, and artists in the confidence trick: they all lud their public" following" and their day of glory: but ne'er a one of them would have denied that Bottomley was easily his master and worthy to be looked up to and admired as such.

"INDIFFERENT HONEST."

"And the arresting and extraordinary fact about it is that, whereas Jalez Balfour, Whitaker Wright, and Thomas Farrow” at any rate got through the best part of their carcers in the guise of honest men and accomplished whatever of good and evil they may have accomplished on the strength of the public belief and faith in their bonesty, Horatio Bottomley has never~~ from his first appearance on the financial stage downwards-been taken in any other category than the "indifferent hopest."

For thirty years his closer friends have known him for an unblashing, unseru. pulous, plausible, and canting rogue. Since 1892, when he was acquitted of charges of fraud. in connection with the Hansard Union and two other companies with a joint capital of £1,600,000, all subsequently liquidated, the public have known him and winked about him for a shody and preternaturally slippery

financier "menning by. "financier with whom it might be well to be in

with."

In thirty years, or thereabouts, Horatio Bottomley floated companies with capitals totalling no less than £17,180,000. The altimmte entries against three of them is "liquidated": the entry against seven
