Last week constable Baker arrested
Andrew Loveland, and found on him ff-
ty-two pieces of bogus coin. At his ex-
animation before Justice Green, of Malta
wan, he confessed his guilt, and was order
cd to give bail III the sum of $500. In
default, was committed to the county Jail
Officers Glidden and Parmeter went on
Saturday night in search of Chas. Cross
who was suspected to be engaged in the
same business. They found him at his
house, some two miles south Of this village,
but by some trich probably known to the
trade, he escaped from them. They also
found at the house one Harvey Loveland,
arrested him, and on searching his person
found two pieces of bogus coin. Suisse
quently, at his examination before Justice
Crane, it was proved that he had passed
the pc,cter at sundry times. Committed.
We understand tn ~ are on the track
of several others of the same gang.
Also, on the same day Robert Billy
was arrested for being engaged in tn c
bogus trade Discharged for want of tes-
timony.
Our officers the other day got hold of
one Mrs. Jane Reed, whom they have had
an eye out for some time. She was arrest

soon to be complete and in running order

of condemnation upon it and that eur
