their signatures or the acceptances

experiment on them the bunk anthori-
ties never had had such paper offered
them otherwise than IN good faith
These men contriyed by pretense and
falschood to secure the necessary intro
duction to the bank officers aud opened
an account with them under an assumed
name They then had several hundred
bills of exchange printed on counterfeit
plates and flooded the Bank OF England
with these bills from all over the world,
all signed and accepted with apparent
regularity. The bank uuhesitatingly
cashcd these and put the proceeds to the
credit Of the swindler,. who drew out
the money in ostcnsible business trans

suspicion on the part Of the bank of
