FORGERY AND ARREsT.-Yesterda morning, a
well.dressed youth, of genteel appearance aged
about IS years, presented a check for SlG9. 90 at
the banking house of Messrs. McKim q Co.. on
Baltimore street, near st. Paul, purporting to be
drawn by John. w. Wilson, Esq, made payable at
the Frederick County Bank and endorsed bv Hugh
Bolton d Co. The youth was closely scrutinized
by the teller, who, suspecting that all was not
right detained him until investigation could be
made and the genuineness of the check ascertained
The teller induced to take this precaution
in consequence of the fact that early in the week
check, purporting to be drawn by George Cas-
sard Bros, had been presented at their coun-
ter and cashed, which afterwards turned out to be
a forgery. Choosing to say nothing about the
matter at that time the firm had concluded to wait
in silence until the perpetrator of the forgery
should either try the same game again or induce
one of his "pals" to do so. The age and appear
ance of the youth who presented the check yester-
terday resembling somewhat that of the other, he
was detained until the genuineness of the paper
could be ascertained. That it was forgery was
soon learned, when the young man was at once
handed over to the custody of officer Ford, who
took him before Justice McKnly and the facts in
the case being proven, he was committed for Court
under the name of George Smith.
