Description:
Partially printed, executed in ink, signed by Ogden Hoffman, and by W.D. Chevers (?) as Clerk. 11.5x21 cm (4½x8¼").
A rather mysterious payment drawn on the Bank of California "for the use of distribution from the Fund deposited to the credit of the Court in the above Suit." Likely import duties on a shipment of opium, but perhaps something more nefarious. The check was lithographed by Britton & Co. Endorsed by Charles James on the back.
