A forgery has appeared in the North of England on the
11. notes of the Commercial Bark of Scotland. Upon coin-
paring it, however, wit', the genuine note, it is so clumsily
executed, that a very snperfirtal inspection may detect it.
There is no attempt to imitate either the Government stomp
or the' Bank's seal. The paper is of a dark colour, and of
a very soft texture; the signatures of '• Jno. Bead, P.
Cashi r, and Jas. Douglas, P. Aerott." are engraved; and
the words •• Commercial Bank" in the check on the
lel of the note, and time Castle at the top, are very Wavy
and coarse. There is a reason to believe that these for.
geries,like many others in circulation, have been imported
