he true bills is ftrorigly maiked, whereas
in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a
fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished
ffate,. The letter a *ir» the word demand,
is badly formed and the whole word ill done
£nd there is 110 comma at theend of it, as
there is in the genuine biffs.
.The marginal device, is much darker
in the falfe, than in the genuine bills 'ow
ing to the lhade strokes being coailer, much
nearer together, and confecjuentl.y mnrh
more numerous. This difference fti ikes the
eye at firft view.
The fame reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending,
<isr prosecuting to con v-itftion the several
above c'efcribed Offenders in refpert to this,
as to the last described bills.
