V. - tatooed on loft forearm. Supposed to be making his way to Ireland; and that he travelled from Darlington to Liverpool by rail, in female attire, on 26th December, 1887. A reward, of which the amount will bo at the dis- cretion of the Commissioners of Prisons, but not exceeding £ 5 in the whole, will be paid to such person or persons as may apprehend and deliver up the prisoner. GEORGE GARDNER, Governor. ( 123 H. C.) SCOTCH POLICE. Wanted in this^ orough, on Warrant, charged with fraudulent bankruptcy, two men, whose descriptions are as follows :— 1 R. PIERCE, about 33 years ot age, 5 feet 5 or < 9 inches high, stout build, fresh complexion, no whiskers, slight dark moustache, clean smart appearance. 2 BRICE, about 28 or* 50 years of age, 5 feet 2. or 3 inches high, proportionate build, round face, sallow complexion, brown whiskers round face, but may be clean shaved; dresses respectably. The 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, Sheep- 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 carrying on the business of both firms, such as making or repairing cheap fuwiiture, & 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- de3cribed will be found trading together in other names. Their modus 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 ptincipal 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, fancy goods, flannel, table cloths, woollen goc ® s, & c., & c. Should any person or pqpsons, similar to description of above, be known to have opened recently in your ^ own, kindly communicate with me at once before Aberdeenshire. AMENDED POLICE INFORMATION.
