ECHOES OF 1858

Epidemic of Robbery and

Kidnapping

Daily Press, June 16, 1858. A gentleman was attacked and rubbed yesterday morning between and o'clock by three Chinese whilst on his way from Aberdeen from the new road which leads to Spring Gardens. He was rified of everything and severely though not "dangerously injured by a fall...

The impudence of the attack ex- creds belief. The gentleman had a revolver, saw his assailants some. time previously and was fully pre: pared. The caps were damped and would not go off, the villains stun- ned their victim by blows on the hend and completely rifled his per son.

SUEZ CANAL SCRIP

PARIS, July 10, Particulars about the enormous swindle in forged Suez Canal shares, which was discovered last week by the French police, have just been made public. Each piece of scrip at the present market quotation is worth 20,000 French francs (about £250 sterling) Su many of these false securities found way on to the market that for the moment the market was overloaded and dealing had to be stupped to prevent a panic.

Then several leading banks and several stock-brokers discovered that the shares were forgories.. One share turned up, bearing a number withdrawn from circulation 30, years previously.
