■y;d©red by the bank. I uSince the appearance of this third counter- hfeit, the two banks have been unceasing in their i p efforts to solve the mistery. Wc rejoice to tuy tl at length with success. llcnry Knickerbacker, h Wm.F. Brock way, and one Snyder, have been |e arrested at Hudson, and having been subjected jp to examination, facts were elicited which leave d no reasonable doubt that some, if not all of d j them, are guilty. Besides the above, persons | c, |l have, been arrested at Brooklyn and elsewhere,' making eight in all. Altogether, it was one of the most dangerous combinations to defraud the public that ever existed in this country.The prominent part taken in the counterfcit-, ing by Brockway, was made known by Knickerbocker, (who was first arrested,) but not till many ineffectual efforts had been made to induce him to confess. Knickerbacker states that he received $1000 of the counterfeits from Brockway, for the purpose of getting them exchanged for other bills, but that finding some difficulty he returned $3,500.It was conclusively shown that the three counterfeits were perpetrated by the same gang.It is admitted by both banks, that the first counterfeits on those institutions, respectively, must | have been printed from the genuine plates.As to the recent counterfeit 0:1 the New Haven Bank, there would seem to be a strong presumption in favor of the supposition, from the fact that Brockway was formerly a journeyman I in the office at New Haven, where the genuine i bills of both banks were printed.| It further appeared that the villains had not Jj confined their operations to the New Haven Br ' Bank, but had got up and issued two’s on the North River Babk in this city, and also counterfeits on one or two other banks.JV civ York Jour, of Coin.loiisit.sirofV-oft-idilybeodrn
