A Supposed Swindler.—lt will be recollected that a few days ago attention was drawn to a circular issued by a per jon in Dunedin who signed himself "EL. E. Stirling," and who claimed that he could supply a means whereby willing and energetic applicants could earn from £2 to £5 per week. Each applicant was to forward the sum of 8s to cover the cost of material. A telegram from Dunedin, published a couple of days ago, stated that several persons who had sent their eight shillings had become uneasy at not havine had the promised material sent, but inquiries at Mr Stirling's office elicited nothing satisfactory. Stirling appears to have quietly left Dunedin, and he was arrested on board the s.s. Mararoa at Lyttelton yesterday by Detective O'Connor on information from Dunedin. The charge against Stirling, who, it may be mentioned, was booked through to Auckland in the name of Weiss, is that he was without visible means of support. On searching him at the lock-UD it was found, however, that he had the sum of £59 17s 3d in his trousers pockets. Stirling possesses a considerable amount of clothing, and there was evidence among his belongings which showed that he had been in the Australian Colonies and in various parts of America. He will be brought before the court this morning, and it is stated that other charges will be brought against him.
