The Committee on the President‘s adâ€" dress then reported ; the report was adoptâ€" ed, and then the following resolutions, founded upon the report and address, were carried after much discussion : unlimited circulation. *Sixty years ago, ‘one pound‘ Bank of England notes were in cireulation. Many were forged like them, and passed; the punishment for which was death. Cruikshank, in passing by Newgate jail one morning, saw several persons. suspended from the gibbet ; tw o of these were women ; and he ascertained they were executed for passing one pound forged notes. He et¢hed a design with men and women hanging for the crime, toâ€" gether with a sketch of the noto, and en» titled it "a bank note not to be ittitated," and as it was published it created such a scusation that it was sold in thousands, put a stop to the issue of any more Bank: of England one pound notes, put a stop to the punishment of death for such an ofâ€" fence ; put a stop to death for forgery ; and caused the late Sir Robert Peel to revise the Penal Code so that none could be hung for any minor offence, and thus by one drawing he was the means of saving thonâ€" sands of men and women from being| hanged. | and taught its lesson, if not loud, deep sud long. A teacher present, in order to enâ€" force the truth of the sentiment, told an anecdote concerniag George Cruikshank, the great English caricaturist, who died in 1875, aged 85, and which is well worth itc 2000 T2 TEC Ao eal to the chairman in return anks for him; which he did 1 Pt;r!mp- the Inspector will seut4ER3L 01 im SFC h. was pk.g y much affect Taken by sur AEID and he ut Pm PRCRP MUR RAUT anything abont protection.
