JOHN RICHARD JONES, not arrested; Hue- and- cry, 23rd December, 1887. ( 116 H. C.) Northampton. Wanted in this borough, on Warrant, charged with faaudulent bankruptcy, two men, whose descriptions are as follows :— 1 R. PIERCE, about 33 years of age, 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, stout build, fresh complexion, no whiskers, slight dark moustache, plean smart appearance. 2 BRICE, about 28 or 30 years ofage, 5 feet 2 or 3 inches high, proportionate build, round face, sallow complexion, brown whiskers round face, but may be clean shaved ; dresses respectably. Tiie first man, Pierce, was living in St. Giles'- street, in this town, with his wife, a tall, good- looking woman, fresh complexion, and brown hair cut short, and a little boy about 4 years of age. Another man, said to be his brother, James Pierce, was living with him, and assisting in the business, which was styled " The Bon Marche;" the latter is about 24 years of age, 5 feet 3 or 4 inches high, clear dark complexion. The second man, Brice, was living with his wife at 61, Sj| eep- street, in this town ; Mrs. Brice is a stout woman, and taller than her husband. An old man and woman ( supposed parents of " Pierce.") lived in the Horsemarket in this town, and assisted in carryin^ bn the business of both firms, such as making or repairing cheap furniture, & c., making up, & c.; the old man was 60 years of age, very short, with gray hair, and generally wore a high hat, and carried a stick. It is supposed that the whole of the above- described will be foimd trading together in other names. Their % odus operandi is to open shops in names only slightly differing from some well- known firm in the town : for instance, Brice ( above- described) opened a shop in Sheep- street, in this town, as " Brice & Co.," whereas, in a piincipal thoroughfare, a large firm exists " Brice & Sons;" it is thus easy to obtain a quantity of goods without enquiries, which these people have been doing, and then sending the same to Auction Sales in the town, and after thus disposing of a considerable quantity they leave without notice, and are not heard of again. Letters of enquiry have been received from all parts where these people have sent for goods, including furniture, rugs, mats, bedding, # incy goods, flannel, table cloths, woollen goods, fec^& c. Should any person or persons, similar to description of above, be known to have opened recently in your town, kindly communicate with me at once before apprehending, and some one shall be sent who can identify them. Information to F. H. MARDLIN, Chief Constable. Chief Constable's Office, Borough Police Station. Northampton, January 30, 1888. P. S.- j When communicating with this Office, it is most desirable that delay should be prevented by letters, & c., being addressed: " Borough Police Office, Northampton." ( 133 H. C.) Yorkshire.

Samples of transfers are then left, and money obtained on the strength of the foregoing representations, which have been found to be false.
