A CLEAN SELL. 115 



" There," said the coper (returning 5 to the miller), 

 " give the butcher a bucket of gruel and a bran mash, 

 for which you can pay out of this, and keep the rest 

 for yourself. And now I'm off. Good bye," said he, 

 as he eased his hands, and Dusty Bob dashed away. 



"A clean sell that, by jingo," said the brewer's tra- 

 veller.

A CAPTAIN B , of Brighton, called at the establish- 

 ment of a respectable horse-dealer in the west end of 

 London, and, after inspecting several horses in his stud, 

 selected one as being the most likely to suit him, but 

 left the completion of the purchase until the following 

 day, when, he said, he would come to London and call 

 again, or write to the dealer.
