A CHEESE DODGE.
_____

A man named Frederick WHITE, of Shrewsbury, is now in the  custody of the
Whitehaven Police on a charge of going about the country imposing  on the public
by pretending to sell the real new milk Cheshire  Cheese.
 
He is provided with a number of inferior Dutch cheese, which  are “plugged”
with a small quantity of the “real article,” of which the public  are invited
to taste. Byt his dodge, he succeeded lately in passing off to  Joseph
FIDLER, grocer, George-street, a number of his spurious articles, for  which he was
paid the sum of £1. 18s. 1 ½ d.
 
Shortly after making the purchase Mr. FIDLER discovered the  “take in” and
gave the information to the police, who consequently apprehended  WHITE.
