Albstre is, we are sorry to find, a forgery abroad of the
aus-pound notes of Mt sus. Birkbeck, Alcocks, and Co.
from their last plate, engraved by Perkins and Co., with
the Craven Heifer in the centre. The forged note is de-
scribed as dated May 17th, 1825, numbered X 161, and
signed John Birkbeci. It differs in many respects from
the genuine note, and a close inspection of the government
stamp, on the back of the forgery, will easily detect It.—
Immediately under the word One, at the bottom of this
stamp, there is an irregular black line over a red line,
whilst, in a genuine stamp, there is no black line, and the
general appearance of the forgery of the governmen'
esinp is very different, and much inferior in execution to
a genuine impression. The border round the face of the
forged note is very indistinct and badly executed, and the
top of the letter .0 thrown round the figure 1 at the right
hand corner, in a genuine note, touches the border within a
hair-breadth, whilst in the forgery there is a space between
the top of the A and the border, of full the 16th of an,
inch, and the forged plate, from border to border, an-
ima's at lesat the Bth of an inch shorter than a genuine
note.—Manchester Herald.
