th.STENSIVE FORGERY IN LIVERPOOL—A discovery has
11;•tlilllaade during the past week that a forgery was com-
itted
on the Borough. Bank of this town by Mr. Wm.
k kjurtin, of the firm of M'Curtin and Riley, merchants,
a,tliew-street, so far 'back as October last. Mr.
\-urtin carried on an extensive trade, and until
thesti discovery of the forgery to which we allude was
s"ilPosed to be possessed of considerable means. It
si-11,1c1 appear that on the 18th October last, a bill
to 1_,5401., drawn by Mr. M'Curtin, and purporting
Ishoue accepted by Sir David Roache, of Limerick,
tau is extensively engaged in flour and corn ope-
the°,ll4 in the south of Ireland, was cashed at
,ziorough Bank. The bank officials had not the
lug!stest suspicion that the acceptance was a forgery
rer atehe presentation of the bill, Sir David Roache
partlld it, and denied having any knowledge of the
!'eto..„ by whom it was drawn. ft was accordingly
use„'"ed protested, and then the fact that a forgery had
.tli.e°l:arnitted by Mr. M'Curtin was clearly established.
Ilt.ho utter was then placed in the hands of the police
°sedePies, but up to the present Mr. M'Curtin
eiril to eluding their vigilance. It is suspected that
Le t. 44 other forgeries will now be discovered to have
frie4°nunitted by Mr. M 'Curtin, some of whose private
0.(1E3 are also likely to be heavy losers on his account.
