A most daring fraud was, on Saturday
last, committed in this city. The cir
cumstances as stated to us. are shortly
these--that young black man came to
Baltimore, sold his flour in Howard-street,
and received bank.bill 10 payment, 10
the amount Of fifty dollars. He was
shortly afterwards accosted in the street,
by man assuming the name Of a magis-
trate, who told him, that it became his
duty, in virtue of his office, to examine
the bill, to ascertain whether it was genu-
inc or not. The unsuspeciing man de.
iivered into the hands of the stranger the
envelope containing the bill, which this
pretended magistrate shortly afterwards
returned, affirming the note to be genu-
ine. The young man afterwards 90 o
peniug the packet, found that this pre-
tended justice had escaped with the fifty
dollars, leaving only one behind TO re-
mind the owner OF his loss.
