first that his transgression were Of a
very minor degree, but weeks investi-

no unusual notice, as his business was

from the Limerick National bank was

MIR. Lord never does business by means

some other person, but upon investiga-

that he gave no such note.

these orders, one held by Mr.. q, W.
Towle, he has collected interest for three
years. The only probable solution OF so
many orders being circulated without de-
tsotion Is that in 1896 there was genuine
order drawn for the amount, number and
the same date in favor OF Mr.. Gentleman
and these have been copied from the
original, as It has never been presented
for payment. Consequently the town
had no means of detecting the fraud that
