TIE Hartford txcHlsGE BAsk AGAIN..
Great Haul of it. Issues.
4 most singular development has taken place
in tie matter Of tile Hartford Exchange Bank
currency, which has been in some shape or
other frequently before our readers within q few
months past. If it has no other result than to
derclope the real ownership Of the bank, and
who is responsible to The public aud to the laws
for its swindliug issues, the present phase Of the
affair will prove Of most substantial benefit.
By singular but very natural mistake, Il boz
containing the liberal sum (by its facel of
$500 Of the Hartford Exchange notes, found
its way from the Express Company's charge
into the hands Of Charles Sanford, a dry goods
clerk, on Tuesday last, who was surprised at
the nature Of its contents, and finding their
worthlessness, brought the affair to the notice
Of c. 2. Bradley. The box was returned to the
Express Company aud q watch set, and when
tie right Charles Sanford came for it, in COM
pany with John II. Lester, both were arrested,
and with the boz and bills taken to the Police
Station at The Court House.
The parties in custody arc well known pro.
duce men. of responsibility and standing, and
readily gave bail to appear for examination yes
