It was not ! a silver watch worth $1"). but an ! old nickleeasc watch, which, if in iooil running order, would at the niot be worth $o or $. The boy lieing of very n speetabie li ireiils. and the wall It both dd and of a cht-H p kind, I had no suspicion whatever of ils being stolen at the time I bought it. It is true ih.V the price was very small, hut I would not have bought tin' watch under any circumstances and paid $1 for it, wliieh was the price aked by the hoy. as I am overstocked with old watches. Next morning I examined tin' wat 'h and found John Horshy's name in it, and that it was in running order and eonse ijueutlv worth more lhan what it w as ottered for. This made me suspicion; and I at once sent word to Mr. lloisley. He did no! fmd j his walch at my f(or, as was I stated, but I sent for him. j Yours Trulv, N. B. Uansk.n. |
