A RICH PRISONER
[Welland Tribune, 12 March 1897]
Committed as a vagrant in our jail is Richard McGuin, who has just received a notice from England that he is heir to £150 stock in the Great Eastern Railway company-together with accrued interest and dividends for ten years past. McGuin registers as 59 years old. He has about three weeks yet to serve, after which he says he will sail for England to claim his legacy. Richard now ranks as an A1 vag., and scarcely recognizes commons tramps as “they pass by.” Doubtless McGuin will remit to the county his arrears for board when he draws his check.
