Feigned Exchange.

FEigned Exchange, is, when I ow a Banker Monies, and have none at present to pay; I desire time, the Banker grants it me; but I am to pay him his Mony by Exchange at the time at Rouen, yet we are agreed be∣tween our selves, that if I pay it him here in London at the time, then I am free, otherwise I am bound as above. In the interim, the Banker writes to his Friend at Rouen, that against such a time he send him from thence a Bill of Exchange for the like Sum; feigning that he oweth it him there. After the time is expired, comes a Bill of Exchange from Rouen, to pay here so much as he owed there, with the Rechange; all which the Banker puts to my Accompt, and per our Agreement will force me to pay, in case I do not pay him here at the time agreed upon.
