SUMMARY of lIteunso

INITIATED BANK NorEs.-We saw
yesterday parcel of FIVE dollar notes of
one of the Banks ofths city, each one Of
which has been apparently torn in two
and again pasted together, after piece
about half or three quarters OF an inch
wide had been irst taken off from one Of
the torn ends. II is in this way that, by
an adroit adjustment Of the pieces, seven
notes are made out Of sx-ihs mutilated
notes being in every case shorter than the
genuina ones. We further learn that
there are number of these multiated
notes in circulation, which have been
manufactured out of the genuine issues of
three Of our city Banks. AS the banks
cannon be expected to pay these frauds
upon Themselves, the community will do
well to examine torn notes with the pro-
per scrutiny, so as to avoid imposition and
loss. bait. Am.
