POLlcE-A HUxDREp.D DOLLAR DRAFT ON THE
FARMERS AND MECHANICS BAYK.-Yesterdav.
three Italians, who gave the names of Joseph
GuIielnoni, Dominique Fralie, and John Lee,
were brought before this Court on suspicion of
having been possessed in an improper manner
OF a draft for 500 on the Farmers and Mechan-
les Bank OF Vermont, in favor of John Lee. II
appeared that another Italian had purchased the
draft OF the person calling himself Lee for $45,
but on presenting it for payment found that it
would be necessary TO get the endorsement of
the seller. He thereupon applied to that per.
son, who said he had sold the draft, and should
give himself no further trouble about it. The
purchaser OF the note then complained to Cap

Farmers and Mechanics Bank, CHA.'s F. WAR.
SER' Esq. that two men representing themselves
to be Italians, called upon him, on the 18th Of
May, and purchased a Draft on Boston for 800
Tor the convenience, as they said, of transmit.
ting the amount to that City. The draft was
drawn in favor of John Lee, and is probably the
same paper alluded to by the Herald, erroneous
~ described as a draft On the F. and NJ. Bank.
John Lee, therefore, is the undoubted owner
Oh the draft, though from the fact that it was
purchased Tor si5, the inference is that " the
person calling himself ! ZEE" canno, be the navee
of the BILLY and that he must have stolen IL
