which had passed your honorable body on

animation iplo The hank where Lloyd kept
his private account. The comptroller by
this means discovered that on the 2lst day
OF March Lloyd drew up his (Lloyd's)
cheek for the bank, S4,779,07, and that he
had received from tenants $4,000, which
he had no, paid into the city Treasury.
We have also discovered that he owns
real estate in The city Of New ! ork and in
the state of Ncw-Jersey. The drawing of
this Sl.77907 from the bank, and not pay
ing il into the Treasury. was such evidence
of premedialed fraud that there could be
no confidence placed in his statement that
he was going TO Charleston. We there

The dates Of receipts given by Floyd 10
tenants show TINT much of,his amount was
received by Lloyd Immediately before he
absconded, consequent, he must have 4
large amount Of money with him. We
have since asccr,aincd lha, there is great
reason 10 believe Thar Lloyd sailed from
