For some days past a case has been in progress in this city, in the United states Ciroult Court, Hoa. Thomas Drummond presiding, which trom the natare of the in \erests, ae well as tbe amount of money involved, has attracted much attention. We present our readers with &@ brief outline of ite history, as foliows:— The Sandy River Bank of Farmington, Maine, was os- Anblished in 153, on an old unoccupied charter, with a eepital of $50,000. Of this capital a large controlling in- terest, amounting to $38,600, was taken by the owners and menagers of the Merohauts’ and Mechanics’ Bank of this city, the remaining $12,000 being held by parties in Meine. Ai that time the well known Stephen Bronson ‘was cashicr anc ;eneral financial agevt of the Merchants’ and Mecbanics’ Bank. Through nis engineering, Thomas J. Jones, tormeriy in s ta house in this clty, was sent to Farmipgvon to become te casuier of tho Sandy River Bank, at tho option, however, of is managers, He ‘was accepicd, his bonds being culy prepared here. He ersumed bis pgp with the secret understanding that his salary of , Which was all the Sandy River Bank managers allowed him, was to be increased to $2,000 per annum, the difforence to be obarged to the Merchants’ and Mechanics’ Bank as “money of Jones.’’ ‘With ibis secret understanding with his empieyers on this side of tbe lakes, Jones so mnaged the ailairs of nis down Fast empicyers tial the Merchants’ and Me- chanics’ Bank of bad at ali times during the Bronron administration from $10,000 to 640,000 of the tends of the Sendy River Bank, over aud above what eppeared = jooks of the latier. Some devei mepts in the spring of 1866 hastened others, and » settlement seemed desirable on the part of the mana gern of the Merchan'e’ and Mechanics’, In July, 1865, the sum of $22,000 stood charged against the latter on the books of the former, and the then President, Mr. Woodworth, with Cashier Bronson, bad an interview in New York city with Cashier J; at wbicb s settiement was arrived at by Jones giving cetpt in fu'l and taking $12,0¢0 of Bronson’s private pa Per snd $10,000 in casb, thas squaring accounts between the Oni d Farmington Inetiinuons. Jt ts through growing out of this $10,000 cash pay- pi tention of the Sandy River Bank offlcers the matter and this sui tastit (nes. much as the cash payment consisted largely of short me drafts of mm, private, endorsed by Cashier Joves offc’ally. These drafts wore provesed, and suits for $2, 0 and $3,200 were brought against the tank at Farmington as endorsers.
