Counterfeit Dollar Plot Tangles Market Deal
The report details a counterfeit dollar incident at a street market on South Main Street involving two countrymen. A man named Licotad exchanged coins with them and later discovered the counterfeit, leading to a morning hearing before Alderman Barrett. The pair claimed they were given the same counterfeit note, but evidence was inconclusive and the men were discharged. The piece notes similar incidents in recent months, many from the Boston settlement, suggesting the fakes may be remnants from last year.
