A perscon of the name ofCtemnentsosi, whio had prevanasly offered 601. for the horse, bint wa,t refused, called at Captain Grev-ille's house, aind said thaut as he had taken a fancy, to the htorse, he would give the 60 guinieas with- out furthier trouble; and representing himself as a gentlenian of for-. tune, dtrew a check for the amouint Upon Coutts'si Bank, which he gave Captain (ireville, and thie horse wa!: delivered to himi.

The next day a letter vars received by, Captain Gireville, from Clement- son, stating, that there was soniic mistatke with respect to the check lie hiad drawn, and enclosing his own note for the aimount, request- ing at the same time that the check miight be retuirned.

In cross. ing a street a short distatice from Mr. Crousha's house, he perceived Wildman, whem lie well knew as a very desperate fellow, with his hat pulled over his face.
