with ultering forged Treasury Notes Of

OF the 10Th iostsn;, the following expliea-

purchased j, at Ihe market rate. The per-
son took 10 part payment eight Treasury
Notes Of 81 900 each. II turned out that
the certificate was forgery. The pny-
men, Of The Treasury Notes was then
stopped at Washington, and description
sent to most Of the bankers here and 10
Europe. In consequence of this the
forger found great difficulty in selling
them. Until within a few weeks he
gave five Of them TO the Union Bank Of
London. TO send to this market. having al
tered the name Of The payes on lhe face
TO evade the description. The Union
Bank sent them TO the Bank Of America.
