 Society have made up their minds to prosecute the 

 swindlers who have been lately exercising € 

 ingenuity upon nursery and seedsmen ; two of 

 gang, Melson and Moat, have already been s 

 fenced to transportation at the York Assizes, at 

 prosecution of the Leeds Guardian Society, in c

 Guardian Society ; and it is to be hoped that their 

 companions w fate. Par- 



ticulars of the York trials will be found in anothe:
