or manner Of mutilation. If the expla.
nation is satisfactory, the note should
be redeemed in full; but, if the Inquiry
should lead to the belief that fraud was
intended, the Bank would be justified in
refusing to redeem it. Nothing would
Justify deduction from the face-value Of

evidence Of fraudulent intent would
Justify the Bank in refusing to. redeem
the note. Therefore, the note should be
redeemed in full, or not at all. The full
face-value will be allowed for all multi
ated notes returned to this office, when
such value was allowed by the Bank
which redeemed them. The officers OF
the Banks are the only competent judges
as to the propriety or necessities Of the
