was issued yesterday at the General Post-office :--`The 20
public are requested to examine at the time of receipt 20
the money handed to them at this office, as no question 20
as to the right amount, the goodness or weight of the 10.1
coin, or the goodness of the bank notes, can be enter- 20
tained after the money has been removed from the 20
counter ~t th. window. This notice has been issued in 5
consequence of the many tricks that have been at- 20
tempted by parties complaining that they had not re- 10
ceived the right change, or that some of the shillings 20
they bad taken were not good. 20
