 pose upon any person, is liable to 

 imprisonment as a rogue and vaga- 

 bond. This Act was extended to 

 Scotland in 1870, and the first con- 

 viction there, in 1877, was quashed 

 on the ground that the plaint did 

 not set forth that the pretence was

 usually classed by statute as dis- 

 orderly persons, liable to arrest and 

 summary examination. See Divi-
