Think last. Tuesday, w.is under,the folloCng ch.!.
cum stances :—A clergyman resident in the coml-
. try sent 3000/. to a broker to be invested in the
Funds, and the broker returned him a bank re-
ceipt, purporting to be a receivrfor a transfer of
Stock into the clergyman's name, agreeably to his
directions. The clergyman, on examining the re-
ceipt, found that the witness's name, purporting
to be the signature of one of the Bank clerk's.
ailmei, was written in a such a style, that it was
impossible to make it out. This, together with
other eircimances, caused him to snspect that
there was something wrong, and he in consequence,
sent the receipt ton partienkr friend in Lon-
don, to make inquiries At the Bank, which took
place on Tuesday morning, when the answer Was,.
that no such transfer had beet-1A.114de.. This. Was
gotm noised about the think, and the parties sus-
peered, contrived to get the proper transfer made
during the time the inquiry was about 'to be in-
stituted ; however, it is doubtful whether the
transaction would have alumnae(' to a forgery, as
the party sending the receipt into the country had
made the instrument to state it to be a transfer
from himself:.
