Opinion of the Court by

As we construe the act of December 5, 1863, (Myers Supplement, 174) if does not embrace this case, but applies to prosecutions alone in relation to United States legal tender notes and postal currency. We have been referred to no statute prescribing punishment in our state courts for altering counterfeit notes on national banks, and we are aware of none.

The judgment of the circuit court sustaining a demurrer to the indictment is therefore affirmed.
