It Was a common penny postage etamp that brought Hobart, the Peat 13ritioli " iron-kb:1g," to Itis ruin. At the ttale of the WhitsvOrtle Veriod, when there waa a, big crisis in the iron trade, he had agents in all parts of the world, who loPt hint posted. Sometimes they tele- graphed news to him in cipher ; but those in England were nearly always instructed to write. At that period his principal agent, who was oleo his chief partner, was in Sheffield, and wrote him from there, warning hint to sell out of alt iron interests for the time. on account, of • the Whitworth crisis. Hobart had frequent fits of irrita- bility, and he had been receiving a lot et understamped letters of no importance, on winch be had to pay double postage. One morning, in arte ger, he gave order, that such letters were to be returned to the postmen, The very first understamped letter received after this was from his partner, It was rejected as soon as it arrived. Censequently, knowing nothing of the existence of the letter or the all-important private news con- tained, Hobart pledged himself next day for more iron deals than oven his mighty credit was good -for. The great drop in prices came two clays later, and Hobart, once a million- ' aim, was involved in a hopelees bankruptcy, from which he never recovered.
