New-York daily tribune., 1858-10-12


We alluded some days since to the appearance Of
forged Certificates of Deposit TO the amount Of
S27 500, the American Exchange Bank, which had
been received here by the Mercantile Bank from is
correspondent Bank in Pittsburgh. Other Certificates
OF the character have since been received bring
ing the amount up to $4,000 IL is not known If the
Pittsburgh Rank bought these Certificates or sent
them forward for collection but as the Bank drew
against the proceeds, it IS most probable that some
shrewd knave has got an advance upon them. What
makes the fraud peculiar is that the party to whose
credit the money purpore1 to be deposited is well
known here, ana his Endorsement is pronounced by
those who know il well to oe genuine The blanks
such as the Bank used number of years since,
and the signed that Of Teller is not the name
Of any connected with the Bank. Tae signature
Of the Cashier is poor imitation of the original.
