A BOLD SCHEME.

A few days ago a check purporting to be drawn
by the Branch of the State Bank at Newbern, on
the Branch of the same Bank in this town, for six
thousand dollars, in favor of John Wood, and en-
doEssd over to Nathan Sheppard, was presented by
a stranger at the counter of the Bank here who
endorsed it. N. Sheppard, and was paid latter some
hesitation on the part of the oficefs ofthe Bank,
the teller afixing to it the usual mark of payment
Some time after the man had left the Bank re-
examination of the check convinced the officers
that all was not right about it. and as the Charles
ton steamer on which he had taken passage had
been detained several hours beyond her regular
starting time, it was resolved to get the money
back if possible
The President of the Bank accordingly called
upon the individual, and mentioned to him that
as the amount drawn by the Newbern Branch
was unusually large, he would prefer having the
money returned until advice could be received
from Newbern The man paid back the money
without demur and took the defaced check, saving
he would proceed on to Charleston but would re-
turn again by the time the genuineness of the
check could be ascertained.
The Cashier of the Branch at Newbern was
Immediately advised of the circumstances, and re-
plies that he had drawn check short time pre-.
viously on the Branch here, on the application of
stranger, for thirty-six dollars which, as it now
appears, was altered to sir thousand dolLGrs.-f
The alteration vas remarkably well done
-Four or five days ago the check made its ap-
pearance here again, being sent on by broker |
at Augusta to his correspondent for collection but
how it was disposed of at Augusta is not as vet
known
Sheppard as he wrote his name on the check.
