A bad Bargain. --Edward Kendrick appeared before the Mayor yesterday to answer a charge of passing an uncurrent bank note of the denomination of ten dollars upon Edwin Cocke and refusing to redeem the same. It appears that Mr. Kendrick had an old note, bearing date 1824, on the Bank of Hamburg, S. C., and Mr. Cocke, not observing the date, purchased it for five dollars. The Mayor told him if he had any claim against Kendrick he must recover it by civil process; he could do nothing for him.
