TlutilAtcd Bank Notes.

The last Journal Of Commerce has the
following: ,..-
The question in regard to the value of
mutiated bank notes, and the best meth
cd of preventing fraud in that connection
has lately become Increasingly hnpor-
tant. Formerly it was the custom for the
banks to redeem all parts of bills which
contained sufficient of the signature, &c,
to secure identification but adrolt rogues
took advantage Of this, and by skilful ma.
nIpulation easily Nude five bills out OF four
and secured the redemption Of the whole.
If one of these FIVE bills were paid, on tn ;
SANE principle, neither Of the others were
refused. The process OF manufacture was
very simple, snd by decreasing the propo-
stion, as was done iu the higher denomi-
nations, the bills are readily circulated.
Thus, if Six bank notes Of the denominG-
ton of $40 were operated on, the diSfgure-
ment would be very greut. The operator
first carefully tears Oft one sixth o the first
bill the remainder will easily pass ; he
then tears off two sixths Of the next bill,
and supplies its place with the one sixth
which ie taken from the third note, md its
place supplied with the piece taken from
the second and su on to the last. He has
thus seven dollars each; two OF them mi.
nus piece at one end Gone at tile right
and one at the lett) Gnda the other TOUR
each with single seam from which si-
milar piece has been taken. Mixed with
other notes, mulilations readily pass with
out detection or are al leust afe not reject
ed il the bills are upon sonIe well known
bank. The bank department redeems all
notes upon which the number and regis
ter's signature are perfect, and properly re.

Roma nee Of Robbery.

II will be remembered that on the night
of June 14th, package Of money contain
ing S4,700 was stolen from drawer in the
office of the American Hotel, which money
was in small bills of The East Hadcam Bank,
and had been left with the hotel clerk for
safe keeping by Mr.. R. s. Pratt who he'd
taken it from the Phenix Bank in this city,
after it's redemption at the Suffolk Bank in
Boston. A diligent but fruitless search for
the thief was made, and reward Of $1,000
was offered for the thief and money. The
affair was at the time put into the hands oil
officer Chamberlain, and alter active search
had been abandoned, he requested Mr.
Weeks, the proprietor of the hotel, TO give
him notice when any one connected with
the establishment was about TO leave, ant
rested on his oars.
At the time of the robbery Mr.. Weeks
conversed with his employees, and from the
nervous and anxious bearing Of the heaG
waiter, Moses M. Fuller, his suspicious

in a few days They were again directed
toward him when, fortnight since he gave
the proprietor notice OF his intention te
