Numerous complaints have been received by the Metropolitan Police, for many years past, of frauds committed in the province 3 throughout the United Kingdom, by the sale of the following articles:— " The Stramonium Cigarette," " The Bronchial Cigarette," " The Herbal Cigarette," " The Jubilee Marking Ink," " The Whitby Jet Marking Ink," " The Cosmopolitan or Crown Cement." The method of carrying out the fraud is as follows :— The tradesman selected as a victim is generally tempted by a promise to be made district agent, to be supplied with an automatic machine or a show- case, to have his name, as the local agent, printed on paper bags, and advertised in a local newspaper, etc. In this way, the pretended traveller, producing a bill or memorandum form with a printed address, purporting to be that of the company or firm ( generally in the East End of London), manages to effect a sale, allowing as a discount the first quarter's salary as a district agent. Sometimes an agreement is made that the cigarettes, etc., are not to be sold till the arrival of the machine, and that if not gold within six weeks the money will be returned. The cigarettes, etc., are found to be unsaleable, and nothing more is heard from the traveller or firm. Enquiries made in London indicate that the pre- tended travellers, of whom there are several, occupy a rocm for a short time, their letters being for warded to them by arrangement at provincial post offices. The unoccupied room is given as the address of the firm or company. Amongst the names most frequently given by the pretended travellers were " H. Perry," " C. J. Rose," " S. Wilson," " A. Smith," " W. R. Snell," " B. W. Myers," " D. Myers," " J. de Costa," " Jonas Ellis," " W. Collings," " M. Morris," " J. Hunter, V'D. Stephens," " J. Henry," alias " Hunnett, " J. W. Graham," and " E. P. Corder." Of the names of firms given, the following do not exist:—" E. Ware & Co.," 38, Beaumont- street; " Rose Isaacs," G, Beaumont- street; " Collins & Sons," East Dnlwich; " Stramonium Co.," 3A, Shandy- street; " M. Adams," 3A, Shandy- street. Asher Ellis, of 56, St. Peter's- road, which is identical with 56, Cephas- street, is a maker of Stramonium Cigarettes, and he denies that he has any travellers in his employ. The following cases in the " Police Gazette," refer to this method of committing fraud:— Casj No. 15, 15th August, 1884; Case No. 94, 17th Octo- ber, 1884; Case No. 108, 14th November, 1884; Case No. 51, 4th June, 1886; Case No. 5, 7th July, 1889.
