caused in this city by the discovery Of band Of

suspected at different periods for several years
back, but it was only the other day that an acct

party has evidently been to fulfil orders from
others, who paid for the work and exported the
! coin to various places along the coast The chief
manufacture seems to have been of Peruvian
soles and Mexican and Colombian dol

All these parties are in jail, but, from the many
influential persons by whom they must have been
protected, 1T is doubtful how far justice will be ad
ministered to them.
