The Colonial Herald of May 9th, 1840 contains an article . from Donald Beaton narrating his actions and offering a ■■ reward of ?20 as may lead to his capture. ' The* article reads "Whereas a person styling himself Doctor Wilson, accompanied by a youth whom he re¬ presented, as his apprentice,-came to East Point , about . the beginning of last December, and took a house from John Macdonald ,. Retland, with the declared intention of practicing in a medical capacity; but after a residence oX something more than three months at the East Point during which time he successfully played Off several acts of swindling upon the unsuspecting inhabitants ot that quarter? he suddenly disappeared from amongst them and has now since been heard of by any of the individuals who in some degree have been made .the victims of his — knavish deceptions: This Is to give notice that the sub¬ scriber will give twenty dollars, as a reward to any per¬ son who shall give such information to him as may lead • to the making amenable to. justice of the said self-styled, ' Doctor Wilson ; and is also further intended to prevent others from suffering from the impositions which" no doubt he'will continue or attempt to practise in other quarters.- In accordance with these views, the following personal description- and brief statement of the trick¬ ery at East Point of the said Imposter are subjoined:- ' Doctor Wilson is a young man, apparently about 25. years of age, in height about 5 feet 9 inches, smooth and full faced, fair complexion, and in body stout. His swindling he practised upon almost every dealer at East Point . Mr. M 'Vane, miller, he swindled out of a quan- ' tity of flour, and the subscriber he cheated out of goods . to the value of L 3 5s. >_His success at East Point , in all, seems, to be to the amount of about L 20 or 251. His last attempt upon the subscriber was by'a forged Order in the name of James Manley . He, besides, sue- -.: ceeded" in bon-owing two or three watches, which he carried off. .When he left East Point , it was i &der the pretence of going- to Charlottetown for his. Medicine - Chest. He was taken to Town by one Donald Kennedy , . whom, with his horse and sleigh, he had engaged for' that purpose. When he reached Charlottetown , .he. suddenly forsook the poor man, Kennedy found .it convenient "to remember to forget* to pay him, and has not since been heard'of. He said he was from St. John New Brunswick . His pretended apprentice appears to be a worthy disciple of his master. He called himself Neil McCallum, and said he was from Lot 16 . He staved awhile behind his master, in the end purehased an old mare-, borrowed a watch from Mr. Samuel Rose , and went, for anything the subscriber knows, to join his master, and aid him in levying further contributions upon the credul¬ ous and unwary.^ _ i !. . ... / '• •'-' ■" -*" , ^ ■■ v. ^t " ,.o'r^ V . ^-r'-:' IX)NALD BEATON . 3 1' ,' ■■•••.■•a^- A '..: ■-■•,■.-■■■:; :•■•.-: .J Played V- ft vr Eastern Graphic Magazine ***** ^^^^^AS^^ S ^^^^^^^^H^^^ \ Tha members of the Se of 1912-1913 are shown hei \ X ,.
