DOUBLE DEALING.
Commercial morality is an unaccountable kind of thing. In the report of a recent trial for the robbery of a watch, it is stated that
"Mr. Beauchamp identified the watch. He was sure that it was not sold; he knew that circumstance from his books; and also because he had the watch for four years, not being able to recommend it; he would not have shown it to a lady, but he would have been glad to have sold it to a gentleman. There was a private mark put on it which meant nine guineas."
There is honour, it is said, among thieves. Is there gallantry in imposition?
