Bank Note Vanishing Tale of Lost Security
A 1840 bank director bought an estate for £50,000 and issued a note for convenience. The note vanished from a mantel as he queried a missing item. Years later a new note was paid after the original appeared in a bank dispute. Executors faced liability, but the bank absorbed the loss. A builder found the note in a chimney crevice, and a Tillotson book recovered £2,500 in notes. A New Haven watchman’s coat pocket yielded $1,506. A Liverpool note with blood-written clues led to an Algiers prisoner’s discovery and eventual ransom.
