Excerpt from Confessions of a Horse Dealer
The horse chaunter rarely exposes himself to the amenities of the criminal law; and even if he did, his victim will generally prefer to let the matter drop, sooner than rake it up again in a police-court for he will say to himself, I shall be so ashamed to let so-and-so hear of it, and every one of my friends will think I have been foolish, and after the exposure, I may not get my money back. And so, for this' reason, many horse-chaunters have, from time to time, escaped, and will again, for the very same reason, in spite of all that may be said by way of warning, because the stock of fools is kept up by constant reinforcements.
