PAWING HALF NOTES.—Some time ago a parcel
containing halves of Bank of England and country
notes was stolen from a coach-office in London, and,
from the fallowing circumstance it appears that the
thieves are now endeavouring to pass these halves ; we
would therefore caution the public against their arti-
fices. A short time ago, a respectable sunsmith in
Birmingham received an order, purporting to come
from a gentleman of rank and respectability, for two
doable-barrelled guns, to be sent to Stony Stratford,
aid enclosing at the same time the halves of two ten,
pound and two five pound country notes, as part of
payment, promising to send the remaining, halves on
the receipt of the guns. The guns were accordingly
sent, but the second halves rot making their •appear-
ante, an inquiry was made, and it was discovered that
the halves remitted formed a part of the sto!en pa-cel.

got at, as the boxes were asunder ; it is suoposed to have
lain in the water these seventeen months back. •

neral, about the siae of a shilling, but quite thin; and

A null bait Et ok place near the race-ground, Taunton,
