Henry Webb, the deliesthie olikier, mid—l belong to the City of Loudon police, and 1 have hew engaged in the in vestigatioe of this emitter. I west to the residence of the prisoner Griffiths, at Birmingham, on Holiday, the 27th of October. Honed him in • room upstairs on the first floor. His shirt sleeves ware tacked up, hue coat was off, and hie bands were °peered with ink. There was • printing pram fa thie room, and upon it there were twenty-me forged Beek of England notes without date or signatory. There WINO SOUS other forged notes on the bed. wrapped up in gotta yerelm. These consisted of twenty 101. notes all am ple* and ready for circulation. Upon the top of a stove that was the room I found an engraved plate on which there were portions of • 101. Hank of England note. I also found a plate of the same kind relating to • St. noes. Behind the door of the room I found two other plates. These were all deficient of the date mid signature, bat I found in the room plates calculated to supply those deficiencies. After we had searched the house I asked the prisoner if he had any mare plates, sod he said there were some buried in • field near his home. He also mid be had been engaged in making (mod notes ever since 1346, and he had pnoted all that bad been issued during the last seventeen years, sad that he had printed a hundred and eighty 5:. notes upon genuine paper that had been stolen for a person seabed Beecher. I and the other officers then went to a field, when I saw the prisoner Griffiths dig up some plates sad notes from two different placed in the field. I produce some of these plates Croaresamitied—l had been watching the movements of Griffiths ever ohms the month of August. Several other officers were engaged with me in the investigation. William Manton, the of the Birmingham detective officers, thefirmed the evidence that had been given by the last witame as to what took plane when the prisoner Grit Mks was apprehended. He she proved that by the dirge. Vise of that prisoner he made • search in a tree, when he fined myna other plater, all of which he produced. Tandy t another Birmingham police officer, gave Masses of a similar character. -~ Wes Frederick I[k6tl, a gentleman in the service of the Bank of England, depend that the plates that w r sz= duced by the alai were ca to udated make int of Bank of England seta la August last a forged 51. note was presented at the Bank of England which was printed upon peonies Rank paper, and it was at beaprnmien from one of the plates that was found at the radar of the prisoner Griffith*. Slam that time sanest ether lowed notes, printed upon genuine paper, bad hen prerated tithe Bank. They were ia all Slaty-one 51. and four 101. Dona. A very great number of forged notes printed oa ems= paper had been presented at various times at the Bank, and they appeared to ham all been printed from Griffith.'. plates. John Lichfield said—l am in the service of Winn Porten, at the mills at Laconia% and lam thoroughly familiar with the RBI* note paper and its mode of manufacture. The paper upon which the forged 51.

In August last a contd. derabie quantity of paper was mimed from the mils, and among it was MOO of what is sailed rupee paper, which is tired far the somirameat of India to print ten rupee bank note'. The paper f and by the officer Webb at Griffith,'. hone% is a portion of this rupee paper, bat it is not in a finished state, and it was never sent oat from the milt in tbb eondkioo. There was nothing on the paper to indicate the date at which it was Issued. stowed me a key and said he wanted me to go to Loudest and get one mods like it. (A key was hen Produced b 7 Webb, the officer, an.) the witness said it was exactly like the one Bmwet gave him.) Brewer told Die that Mn. Bur nett would inform me where I could get the key made. The next day he again gave me two lambi to take to London, as I had done before, and he told me that they contained Bank note paper. I gave the snood parcel to the woman at the railway elation, and I also gave one to Burnett, and I also gave him the key that Brewer had given to me. At this time I went with Burnett to Steuttoo-ground, Westminster, for the purpose of seeing Boucher. He kept a butcher's shop an Stnitton-ground. Bur oett left me for about an hour, and when he re turned he appeared to have plenty of money. Barnett had the Bank paper with him at the time he left me. 1 went upon several other occasions with Buroett to Stratton ground, and each time he took paper with him. I remained 1 with Benoit until after the reward of 1.5001. was offered. I only saw Burnett actually go foto Bunrher's shop once, but he always wept in • direction towards it. After Burnett had been several thus to Buncher's he wished me to go down to Brewer again and get some more paper, and he proposed that I should go round by Portsmouth. Before I left Burnett gave me • key and 6/., and told me to give 31. to Brewer, and to keep the rest myself. I gave Brewer the key be had given me, and told him the other was not made. I also gave him the 31. end asked him fey mote paper, and he said he could not give me any unless I staid • fortnight I told him L could not stay so long, and hellion said I had better come down again I. • fortnight. I went to London, and returned at the time stated„ but got out at Basingstoke, and late at night I walked over to Laverstoke. Burnett so. companied me from Londe. oo this occasion, and he went on to Whitcbnrch. Wharf I got to laverstoke I went to Brewer's house. as he bad directed me, and I slept there, and on the following morning be banded me two parcels of piper, and directed me to do with them as I had with . the Oben, and he at the mime time advised me to go to Bewwftke and sleep that night, and told me that I was set to some down for any mote paper, as he thongh n t . t!ez ' had "tumbled "toit at the milt I put both the that Brewer gave me into a black *vend I convey them to London, and the "woman in Slack" mat los at th e station and asked me for the parcel, and 1 told her I had not got am; lordlier. both the parcels to Burnett the neat day.

He had no money when be went into Bunchaes shop, but when he returned he had a " tidy lot."

The evidence was exceedingly conclusive, and both the primoers were found Guilty, a portion of the jury wishing to recommend Clements to mercy. The police, in answer to the court, said that Yates had been the constant associate of thieves for the last five yeses, and • more dangerous man did sot exist. With regard to the prisoner Close, who bad pleaded guilty, he (gates) bad not only instigated him to rob his employer, with whom he we, io service as au errand boy, but bad sent w o r e to m r .
