she afterwards turned to good advantage. She accounted for their apparent want of means by stating that at present tbe only return of ber properties -was tbe interest of the 5,000?, being in tbe Court of Session regarding ber landed estates. Sbe further represented that sbe was in correspondence •with her Dundee agent, at the same time giving tbe name of a respectable solicitor, and that he expected the cases would be settled very shortly. On returning from a " consultation with her Dundee agent," she induced her landlady to advance her 11 to enable her to proceed to Edinburgh, as ber solicitor had informed her "that Lord Gifford only waited for a personal interview before signing his decision awarding her the contested estates. She disappeared the next morning and returner! at night, statins; that "Lord Gifford had now made all right, and that she would im mediately enter into possession of her pro perty," mentioning her intention of residing first on the Forfarshire estate. A slight out lay, however, must first be made, and tbe sum of £50 must be had, so that her Dundee agent might proceed to the Grange of Conn on and effect several alterations. The landlady, who appears to have fully believed herstrange story, at once advanced the necessary amount, perhaps, induced by the promise of a prompt return with interest, amounting to £300. A cheque was accordingly filled up, but .the b_r.nk.er, who suspected the character of the payee, refused payment before seeing the drawer. At last, however, Helen managed to get the cheque cashed, and proceeded to Dundee on Saturday last to "hand tbe money over to ber agents." The factor of the landlady's property, who bad all along been kept in ignorance ofthe goings-on, seems now to have got a hint of bow matters stood, and, knowing that Helen had been convicted at more than one police-court, re solved to checkmate her in her wily moves. He accordingly lost no time in interviewing the Dundee agent, and on having his sus picious confirmed, at once gave the case into the bands of tbe Broughty-ferry police. Ser jeant Davidson, on calling at her residence, found that the bird had flown, but siicceeded in apprehending her on Monday in Dock street, Dundee. When apprehended she had the sum of £48 in her possession. Wit ness having given the above evidence against lier, she was remitted by Provost Cunningham to the Fiscal. In order to get more credence to her story she adver tised in one of the Dundee papers for a "fac tor to take charge of estates in this country, and also to overlook another factor in New Zealand." She bad also at one time got a small 'sum advanced her by a respectable gentlemanin the Ferry.giving him inreturn a copy of a will of a very distant relative, who had property in the vicinity of Arbroath. On learning ber true character he applied some time ago for the return of his money, which claim was settled by the obliging land lady paying the amount, in return for tbe papers, who stated at the same time that she would give three times the sum for tbe same securities. The copy of the will and other papers are now also in the possession of the police authorities.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT) Serious Gun Accident.—Two Boys Shot. Inquest on the Body of Mrs Brown. Long Drive and All Nations Crushings. Rich Specimens from the Buffalo.

GRAHAMSTOWN.

This day. A serious gun accident occurred this morning. It appears that Willie Curtis, a son of Mr Curtis, of the Pacific Hotel, a boy fourteen years of age, obtained a gun and went on Grahamstown wharf to shoot gulls. He laid the gun down on a seat at full cock, and sat down beside it. By some: means the gun went oif and shot two boys named Thomas Keran and John Otto, who were fishing. The former was, severely wounded, principally on the left side. The shot scattered over his body from the calf of his leg to the chest, the pit of the stomach being seriously wounded. Otto re ceived the shot principally in his shoulder, but a few lodged in his head. The lads were a long distance off other wise the consequences would have been fatal. The wounds are not considered dangerous, but the boys have been re moved to the Hospital. The Long Drive cleaned up this morning after twenty-six days' crush ing with 10 head of stampers ; the result is 76 ounces of gold.

The All Nations are now retorting after a months' crushing with five head of stampers. They expect a good yield. The inquest on Mrs Brown and child, who were drowned in a well yesterday at Shortland, i» now pro ceeding, 3.55 p.m. Mr McKenzie, the manager of Lowe's tribute, in Tookey's, has just met with a serious accident. A large quantity of stuff fell on him. It is supposed that the skull is fractured, and collar-bone broken. The poor fellow complains of the latter. He is now being conveyed to the hospital.
