THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT FRIDAY DECEMBER g. 1873

But It has been done, and the course
adopted by the forgers Of the circular notes
Of the Union Bank Of London recalls sim
| liar and a memorable incident In the history
Of the London Times. 1t occurred many
years ago, and relates to letters Of credit
| The main facts are these: At the time
mentioned an ingenious person, moving In
good society and a near relative of a member
of Parliament Invented a machine whereby he
could reproduce any form of written or en-
graved document to almost absolute per
lection. Being as INSCRIPTIONS as he was
Ingenious, he entered I'm Florence into a con
spiracy with some four or five other persons
to forge q series of letters of credit amount
ing in the aggregate to million of pounds
sterling, and purp0rting to have been issued
by an eminent London banking house. When
the letters of credit were ready, and, after
close inspection, pronounced TO be complete
fac similes of the genuine, the entire continent
Of Europe was laid off into districts, and
agents, bearing each letter Of credit sent tn
the principal cities to begin multaneously
the drawing of money upon it. For short
time everything worked smoothly and CON
siderable sums were obtained but the
trepdation of one Of the parties operating in
Germany led to his arrest and to vague sus-
pcons Of q conspiracy. the extent Of which
was unknown, although the foreign CORE
spondents Of the London Times who were the
first to give the alarm, gave also the names Of
the principal CcnSpirators and connected with
them an English banker at Florence. The lat
ter promptly sued the Times for libel, laying
his damages at a very large sum. The Times
defended the suit and toprove the truth Of its
averments undertook to trace the conspiracy
through all Its foreign ramiteations. This It
did 50 effectually that the whole scheme Of OPP
erations was exposed IL failed, however, to con
meet bysa conclusive legal proof the Florence
banker syith the forgeries; but the moral con-
viction 81 the jury was so strong that they
brought in o verdict for the plaintiff of one
cent damages The defense Of this suit cost
the Tinsss 100000, and SO great was the ser
vice bels to be that 1t had rendered the com
munity that the bankers aud merchants of
London subscribed the whole sum among
themselves and rendered 1t to the Times to
reimburse its proprietors for the expenses of
the trial. the money was gratefully de-
clined. It was then determined TO honorably
commemorate the enterprise and independ
ence Of the Times by purchasing with the
sum 30 subscribed university scholarship
to be called "The Times Scholarship which
was done, and the scholarship exists to this
day Baltimore Sun.
