seems to us impossible that this should have taken place
without the brokers knowing the party for whom they

the brokers should base failed to see that such do&
means could not have been honestly come by, and that
they were lending themselves to a fraud.
In any view of the matter, the facts before as shove .
either that these brokers exercised little caution in re"

Ude].
Of the amount of fictitious bills in the hands of
serious parties in the City we have U 3 meet a of
,ng any very accurate list, but are inclined to be!tcee
that it is upwards of 300,000/.
Little need be said of the notices which have ems'
rated from the Government offices on the subject. The
extreme cart leisness of the Exchequer bill department
for these last few years has been proverbial. We be"
seen that the power of signing Exchequer bills has bee" •
commonly delegated to others by the proper officer
f the
whose duty it was to execute that department o
public service, and if we ate to judge from the coarse
now taken to ascertain the validity of the documentf,
the public may be well led to imagine that the counterfoil
is the only criterion by which the goodness of an 31',;
chequer bill can 1.): tested, a criterion which wear eau
to ar would render useless, and which involves the ab-
surdity that the application of a pair of scissors to trim
the ragged edges which accident or time may have
given to an old document would impair its valditY, anti
which loses sight of the fact, obvious to every merchant
who has ever cut out five checks from his check-book
at a single stroke of his knife, that the cut edges of 111
of them will correspond with the counterfoil of the
upper one.
The feet is quite clear that the business of the 11'.
chequer-hill office has been conducted loosely, ore
lessly, cn false principles, and in an improper manner'
by men unacquainted with the forms and requirements
of business, and that in future the system must be
altered. Business documents meant to be transfer/thief •
require business men to manage them ; these should
bt be
on the spot to answer questions and to resolve doun;
Had such men been in the Exchequer-bill office, an° ,
• uch offica in the city, this fraud could scarcely Ws
been committed—most certainly could not have bcea
carried on for such a length of time.
