Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from His Little Bill of Sale
The kind reception accorded by the press and public to my last book, has led me to hope that a little story dealing with legal matters may be entertaining and instructive. I have endeavoured to expose some of the tricks of the money-lending fraternity, who thrive upon bills of sale under those wonderful pieces of legislative incompetency known as the Bills of Sale Acts 1878 and 1882. The story is not an unusual one, and the main features of it are based upon actual facts within the author's knowledge. It is hoped that the light thrown upon these matters may be of assistance to arouse public interest in the inquiry into the working of the usury laws, on which a Parliamentary Committee is now sitting.
