Summary

David Carnegie Andrew Agnew Protestant Exiles from France… (1886)

This man purchased a key, by means of which he frequently opened Du Moulin’s drawers, took some of the gold, and replaced it with pieces of his own coinage. Whenever Du Moulin discovered counterfeit money in his repositories he took it to his customers; and remembering where he had laid each sum when paid to him, he insisted that he had received the rejected pieces from them. They had no alternative but to replace them with good money, but made loud and severe complaints, which spread so widely that Du Moulin raised an action against a customer for defamation.
