attended to hear the evidence, which was of the folk/win
nature t—lt appeared that for a length of time past the
police at Berlin discovered that numbers of spurious notes,
to the amount of three shillings, passable in that country,

investors could carry on their malpractices in Prussia,
they were quite at a loss bow they could possibly originate,
