AAenag Bank Bius--A man yesterday
went into the public house Of Mr., Murphy,
in the Sd avenue and requested him TO give
him small bills for IS bill on the Newbury
Bank of Vermont Mr.. Murphy acccded
to his request, and gave him small bills, and
the man had scarcely left the store when
Mr.. Murphy discovered that the bill purpor-
ting to be on the Newbury Bank was in re-
ally on the Roxbury Bank of Massachusetts,
and tina: the letters Ror had been ingenious
ly defaced and the letters New put in their
place, so as to make the word read New
bury instead Of Roxbury. The words
Wellsrver had also been put in place of the
word Roxbury, at tina, part where the bill
is dated, and the word Vermont substituted
for Massachusetts, at the bottom OF the bill
No other alterations appear to have been
made 10 it, and such as have been were but
cIumsly executed, and require only a very
cnrsory and slight examination TO detect
them. Unfortunately, however, Mr.. Muir
ply examined the bill in TOO cursory man
ner to detect its character, but took sufficient
notice Of the person who passed Ito be able
10 describe him to the Police, who will no
doubt keep good lookout for him.
Another BILL being genuine one, on the
Brooklyn Bank, but altered from one to
ten dollar bill, was offered few nights
back al place OF public resort in the upper
part Of the City The waiter TO whom ii
was offered suspected its character, and cal
led officer King, of the Upper Police, who
was in attendance on another part Of the
premises, but before he reached the spot,
the man who rendered the bill ran away,
leaving the bill in the walters hand.
