On this the 18 day of June, in the year of our Lord 1839, before the under- 

 signed public notaries, duly admitted and siworn in and for the Province of 

 Lower Canada, residing in the City of Montreal, personally appeared, Albert 

 Purniss, Esq., of the said City of Montreal, merchant, who declared that, 

 whereas, in the month of Noveniber, 1838, he received an order, which he 

 did undertake to execute, from the Bank of Montreal, in Montreal, for the 

 importation from England in the spring of the present year for and on 

 account of the said Bank of Montreal a large quantity of copper coins, to 

 wit, 120,000 penny pieces, and 240,000 halfpenny pieces, according to a descrip- 

 tion minutely given, and that whereas the said Albert Furniss did transmit 

 the said order to the manufacturing, house and firm of Cotterill, Hill & Co., 

 of Walsal, in England, with the patterns, orders and directions, who shipped 

 the quantity of Copper Coin aforesaid, for the supply of the order aforesaid, 

 and that whereas the said coins, on the packages being opened by the said 

 bank on .receipt of •them in Montreal, have proved deficient in all respects 

 in the manufacture, coinage and workmanship from the orders and the 

 patterns, furnished, in consequence whereof the said Bank of Montreal have 

 rejected the said copper coin to be, in fact, utterly unworthy of issue, and 

 to be disreputable to the manufacturers, and have caused to be executed a 

 formal protest against the said Albert Furniss for all costs, losses, changes 

 and damages, interest and exchange, by reason thereof at the same time 

 protesting against the said copper coin being put into circulation. 



Wherefore the said Albert Furniss did declare to protest and did request 

 of us, the said notaries, to ^xtend this our formal protest against the said 

 house and firm of Cotterill, Hill & Co., the manufacturers and shippers of 

 the said copper coin, and for all costs, charges, damages, hurts, injuries, 

 interests, exchanges and re-exchamges already suffered or that can, shall or 

 may hereafter be suffered by the said Albert Furniss, for and by reason of 

 the premesis aforesaid, and for which the said Bank of Montreal are deter- 

 mined to hold responsible the said Albert Furniss, and otherwise for all 

 other matters and things for which the said Albert Furniss can, may or 

 ought to protest touching ail or any of the premisis aforesaid. 



This done and protested at Montreal aforesaid, on the day, month and 

 year first above wriltiten, and figured by us notaries in testimiony of premises.
