CLIPPED AND CONDENsED.
A gentleman writes 10 the San Fran
cisco Call as follows. What he COM
plains of is rather small business but
amounts to considerable in the aggre-
gate: On Saturday, July II. 1875. re-
ceived, in the course of current busine So,
fve dollar piece of United States gold
com, which had hole punched through
1t. did not notice the fact. and took 1t
at Its current rate OF five dollars. On
the 18th of July had occasion to make
a payment at the bank. when this Fl We
dollar piece was rejected, because il was
punched, and SO had lost portion of its
gold. / took the coin to the San Fran
cisco Assaying and Refining Works, 4l6
Montgomery street. and had il weighed.
1t ougbt to have weighed 100 grains Of
gold. 1t actually weighed only 1876 80
grains; diff. renee in coin, 1917 cents.
Now, the man who received this coin at
five dollars and punched ten cents out OF
1t, and then passed 1t for Ave dollars,
stole that ten cents from somebody. He
also committed felony, for which on
conviction, be would have been sent to
the State Prison for several years. Also,
every person who has one of these
punched coins in his possession is pre-
sumed to have Punched IL himself, and
can be indicted and put on trial for a
State Prison off-nse, and can save him.
self from being convicted only by pro-
ducing circumstantial evidence OF his in
noceDce, and by showing his previous
good character. The same is true in re-
gard to clipped silver coin. I have seen
silver coin in circulation clipped Of one
fifth OF its value. / have seen SIS gold
pieces punched three times-that is,
thirty cents short in weight. The banks
are right in this matter. 1t is they, and
not private individuals, who send de-
faced coin to the Mint to be recoined;
aud when they send it, it is received by
weight, and not by tally II they re-
ceive this mutilated coin. they have TO
bear the loss on it, and there ia no rea-
son why they should suffer this loss.
