Passers of Counterfeit Money Arrested
Great Excitement,

Great Excitement.
On Saturday evening last the most intense
excitement prevailed throughout our town, in
consequence of counterfeit Bank notes having
been put into circulation here. The facts, SO far
as we have been enabled 10 gather them are as
follows: A certain William Hanna, whose local
habtahon is in Freeport, came to this place, on
no particular business, we believe, but soon Wis
tied one of our merchants, and made known TO
him, in private and confidential conversation,
the Bank of Louisville, we'll executed, and being
informed that the said merchant was a person
who would be willing to engage in such spec
uatiOn, Hanna proposed 10 sell him 500 in Lou
svillo pictures for $40 on any legal swindng
shop, which he might have in his possession
The merchant alluded 10 declined going into the
enterprise, and Hanna left. He then went TO the
proprietor of one of the livery stables in town
and purchased horse, for which he paid in coun-
terfeit money. He also passed some of the notes
off upon saddler, merchant, and perhaps 9TH
ers in town; when the Prosecuting Attorney and
Sheriff had the young man taken before Esq
PHILLIPS, where, upon examination, the above
facts were ELECTED, and Hanna was required to
gve bail in the sum of 81 900 for his appearance
at the August term of Court but failing to pro-
cure bail, he was committed to Jail. In the course
of the examination, one of the Witnesses having
given testimony which appeared TO criminate
Thomas Walker, living seven miles west of this,
on the Cambridge road the Prosecuting At
: tomey ordered warrant to be taken out for his
arrest forthwith. The officers of the law bro't
5 Mr.. Walker TO town late on Saturday night, and
3 after undergoing an examination, was directed
" also TO give bail in 81 900 for his appearance at
: court, and two of our citizens entered into re-
cognizance with him for that purpose. On Mon
day, the town was full of rumors in relation to
: the individuals concerned in the passage of the
counterfeit money, and strong suspicious were
\ cast upon a number Of persons both in town and
+ country, (many of whom have heretofore borne
> irreproachable charactors) being guilty of un
/ lawful transactions. We have heard nothing
{ however that is tangible, and we deem it impru.
c dent to hart the feelings Of any person by pub
{ fishing mete rumors.
