a robbery at Nortekll, accidentally met a person
whom lie thought corresponded with the one he yrs.,
looking after. Coble stopped him that lie might
compare descriptions, and whilst lie was looking at
a hand-bill, he observed the man to shift something
from his pocket, and put his hand behind him, and
on being asked what had got in his ban 1, he said,
they were some notes to pay Isis reckoning with :
but on his person being examined, lie was round to
have plenty of silver in his pocket, which of cont,e
excited the suspicion of Coble that the were
forgeries, and, upon enquiry, they tnrneil out ‘u
