brought down from the Belfast Jail yesterday

said to have rendered the Treasury Depart
.ment in relation to some counterfeiters ana

York or elsewhere, for the government IN re-
lation to the L. S. seven thirty notes alleged
10 be spurious His wife and a number OF
his friends have been here during the past
week and are very active in his behalf.

Ave yeass old arrived here this morning.
