Barnard Turner was put to the bar, in dicted fur forging eight several transfers in the Bank of England; and also for forging seven certain receipts, &e. with intention to defrau d the Governor and Com paq of the Bank of England. The prisoner pleasied Not Guilty. Mr. HOLLAND opened the case. Mr. Sergeant HOSANQUIT addressed the Jury.—The unfortunate man at the bar stands indicted for a most serious and capital offence. The respectable situation in which be was placed supposes that his character must have been good ; but placed as he was, in a situation of considerable trust, he ought to have prevented others from defrauding his employers. The Learned Sergeant explained the nature of the circumstances under which the fraud was committed, which were shortly these.— Sir R. Peel had in March last considerable property in the Navy per Cents. 10,00 W. of which was transferred into the name of John Pena, Esq. of Highgate. This was not discovered till the 20th of May; when en referring to the books in which the transfers were ea. tered, two leaves were foetid missing. It was theb covered that the stock had been frandalently sold, and that John Penn, the alleged purchaser, was a fictitious name. This transfer being made. it was necessary Bke-1 wise to proceed to give the receipts. For the purpose of a check three books are kept, in which all transfers are entered; and it was necessary that this transaction should appear in each; and the manner in which it was entered excited suspicion. which led to detection. The Learned Counsel then entered into a long detail of the various circumstances attendant upon the fraud, and which it would be his duty to endeavour to prove in evidence. Mr. RITNOLDI then called Edward Salishy—l am a clerk io the Bank of England, in the Navy 3 per Cents. Office. Our office is separated in•o four divi- sions ;itis my duty to enter the transfees. We had no account of a transfer from Sir Robert Peel on the 20th of March. (Here the witness examined the ledger.) The last entry is dated 30th May, 1820; it is "0. Y. 86. to J. Bann, No. 5,281, 10,0001." It is not my writing; 1 wrote the following words, " 20th Mar. 1821, to J. Peen, 10,0001." which were erased I made this entry from the transfer-book. I should be able to refer to the transfer-book, by this entry, if it were correct. The original entry of mine should have said R. Y. I stated it from memory. The book I have now before me, is what the transfer should appear in. It appears to me that two pages of this book have been torn out, which would occasion the corresponding leaves of the sheet to be out too. There is an alteration in the paging of the folios. The fol lowing page now stands 85 upon an erasure; and the pages are altered as far as 93. There is no alteration in the former part of the book. The date of the entry preceding the leaf that has been taken out, is 20th March. Cross-examined by Mr. GURNIT—When I speak of the state in which I wrote the entry, I do not speak from any recollection of the fact, but from reference to other books. These books are not written by me. There are about 50 clerks in the Navy 5 per Cents. Office. All of then would have access to the ledger. Each clerk operates as a check upon the other. Entries are mad* on the same day, and aftewards checked.— Notwithstanding, accidents sometimes occur. Re-examinedby Mr. RICTNOLDS.—There are eleven elerka is my office. The accounts between Sir R. Peel and J. Penn would have been entered in my di vision. Walter Prideaux examined by Mr. Bow.astn-1 am a clerk in the Transfer Office. It is my duty to enter a transfer. I recollect making an entry for 10,0001. to J. Penn, Esq. Highgate; I took it from the R.Y. entry-book. I have the book before me, but it is not here now—the number 4,181; when I posted it, it was 11,181. There was no account opened to John Penn, of Highgate, and therefore I opened a new one. As the entry now stands, it is " 1821, Mar. 26. P.Y. 86, by R. (some name illegible from a blot), No. 4,181, 10,0001. As I made it, it was "R. Y. 86, by K. Peel." I can find no ticket for such transfer. No transfer is made without such ticket. The transfer is entered into the book from such ticket, they are afterwards filed and taken into the strong room. I have looked there for this ticket, bat I cannot And It. Cross-examined by Mr. ALLax—ln the alteration a 4 is substituted for a 1. I cannot swear from recollection that I ever saw a figure of 1 in that place. It is some times, bat not always, my duty to take the file of transfer tickets into the strong room. It iris not my slaty to carry in the file on which this ticket ought• to have been. John Baker Mansell—l am a clerk in the division • • • 1••••• L. ten. is ammo' °Gass ether witnesses.

I am in no divi sion. bly hominess is to search the powers of attorney, and compare the ledgers with them. in the month of March last I found no powers of attorney in the name of Sir R. Peel. John Oswald Trotter, another clerk in the same office, corroborated the foregoing evidence. Charles Norris examined by Mr. Boct.suo—l am a chief clerk is the Navy 5 per. Cents. Office. All the clerks in that division (from L. to R, 15 is number) were present on the 20th of March. Their names are always entered into this book. (Here Mr. Holland called over their names which tallied with the book.) It is the duty of all those clerks, as occasion may occur, to witness transfers. Cross-examined by Mr. WlLLtaste-1 have no recol lection that Mr. Tenter was absent on leave about the 20th of March. (The witness here referred to his book, and found that the prisoner was absent from the 21st of April to the 7th of May inclusive.) I have been on terms of intimacy with Mr. Turner for up wards of three years, and my opinion of him was very high. The other clerks in that department of the office were then called, wharespectively deposed to their not having attestednay transfer from Sri R. Peel on that day, and likewise to their having made no alterations in the transfer book. They also said they knew of no such person as James Smith in the Rotunda (which was the name inserted for the broker employed.) Sir Robert Peel was then called. Mr. Alley ob jected to Sir Robert being examined, on the ground of his below le 'interested party. until it was proved that Sir R.'s imkbail bees made up. and some considerable diamai p ta t le plasm loetweeu the Learned Counsel for the res partite and the Reach, which ended by a decision in fame, of Mr. Alley; and Sir Robert was not here examined. Robert Best, Esq. Secretary to the Bask of England, was then sworn. Mr. Best pro►ed that the Directors of the Bank of England had resolved to refund to Sir Robert Peel, the MOW. Navy Fi►e per Cents. which had been fr .adulently transferred from his account. The reso lut'on to that effect was put in evidence. Mr. Cole examined by Mr. Reynolds.—l am a broker. I purchased 10,0001. Five . per Cent. for the Bank, to be transferred to Sir Robert Peel ; it was so transferred before the dividends were paid. ' James Oynne examined by Mr. RSTNOLDS.I am one of the Clerks of the Transfer Office. On the 3.1 of July stock to the amount of 10,0001. was trans ferred into the name of Sir Robert Peel. I witnessed that transfer ; it was made in time to carry the divi dends. Sir Robert Peel was then examined.—l was oath e 20th of March at my house in the country. I did not myself make. nor did I authorise any person by power of attorney to make for me a transfer of 10,000/. on that day. Joseph Starling—l am a stock broker; I saw the prisoner on the 21st of March. He calce to me in the Rotunda, and asked me the price of stock, saying that he had 1.000/. to dispose of. The price was 10411. agreed to purchase the 1,000/. He left use, and went towards the Five per Cent. Office. I saw him again in the office at the close of the day. I tendered him my cheek for the amount on his giving me a receipt. The cheek produced is what I gave him. In the re ceipt there was a mistake of five shillings in the calcu lation, of which I told him, and be altered it. I be lieve the filling up of the transfer to be his {rand. writing. but I manes speak to a certainty. I saw no broker In this business. I left it to him to get the transfer made to use. Mr. Norris was again examined by Mr. Rev :coitus. —He read from the transfer book the entry of she 1.0001. sold to Mr. Starling by John Penn, Rig., and witnessed by Wm. Turner. Knows the hand-writing of prisoner well ; the signature is his. I can't say in whose hand-writing the name John Penn is ; under it is written the name of J. &with. The witnessing. clerk ought to know that the person so signing was either a broker or respectable person. The words John Penn" ought to have been written by Mr. Campbell, as he is the person who has entered the transfer. Ido not know any broker of the name of J. Smith. Crosfrexamined by Mr. ADOLPIICS.Ii Is customary for a broker to witness : but it is often the case for other persons to do it. Mr. Campbell proved that the name "'John Pena" was written by him, and that he copied it from a trans fer ticket. The witness made out the transfer from a ticket which he received from a clerk, whose duty it was to hand kto him on that day, but could not say from whom it was. Edward Taylor proved paying a cheek of Mr. Star ling's, for 10451, bat could not say to whom he paid the money. Mr. Welton is a clerk in die.

Two notes now - he could not say what them. Mr. Kaye, Solicitor, proved seeing the rinser in the month of Map last, relative to certain entries. Se veral transfers were produced and shown tke prisoner, they amounted to about ten thousand pomade. At the time of the discovery, the prisoner described Mr. Smith to be of the Stock Exchange, irloarst &limber, and that he did not know any thing of Mar, -but from his attending in the Rotunda. The second transfer was attested by the same person named Smith. The prisoner was then asked about Mr. Penn, and said, he had been introduced to him as John Penn, sod was about 50, but did not know whether he bad any trans. betides in the Funds previously. Smith had transacted business in his (the prisoner's) book before, and he knew him as a respectable broker, and believed lie was Wows to Messrs. Campbell and Salisbury, of the Fire per Cents. Office. All the transfers were witnessed by the prisoner, and identified by J. Smith. In answer to further questions, the prisoner said, he did not think Smith had a box in the Rotunda with his name on it, and that be had himself observed a difference in ti .e signature of John Penn to the transfer. That lie had been ill advised, misled, and defrauded by several persons, and that he bad lost a great deal of money, The prisoner had also admitted, that he had sushi oil the *seek, and got the money for it, and that he had paid it to that rascal Penn. The prisoner said, he had been defrauded by Samuel Turner, who bad absconded. Joseph Drake, collector of assessed taxes at High- gate, knew of no person of the name of Penn, at the time in question, residing at Highgate. N. Sibley, resides at the post-office of Highgate; had lived there for 18 months; had no knowledge of any such person as J. Penn; his business extended over the whole of the parish. James Drat, letter-carrier of Highgate. His walk extended over the whole parish, except South Wood lane : there was no such person as John Penn resident there. Joseph !limit., a letter-carrier, deposed that there was no such person as John Penn in South Wood-lane. Thomas Ovore, parish officer, said that be was in the habit of receiving militia papers the last year, bat did not know of any person named John peon. Thomas Bennett, the beadle of the parish of High gate, deposed to the same effect. James Barton, one of the patrole who attends. the Rotunda, had been so engaged for 14 years ; knew no person of the name of J. Smith there for many years there was a person named J. Smith wbo used to come through sometimes, but he bad been dead at out four years. John Smith, also a porter in the Rotunda, bore tes timony to the same effect. John Foy, the officer who took the prisoner into custody, bore testimony to the attempt made by the prisoner to escape from the room in which • he was confined. S Examined by Mr. GIIINIIT:11141 prisoner accom panied the witness to the Bank very readily ;, be had at the time no warrant for his apprehension, A Clerk in the bourse of Messrs. Curtis and Co. proved receiving a note fee 1001. from Mr. Mose ; he did not know It from his own knowledge, but from an entry made by him. Mr. Prideanx was called to prove the hand-writing of Turner ; believed the transfer to be in the hand writing of Turner; the entry in the ledger was also in the hand-writing of the prisoner. Several other entries were also in the belief of the witness as to the hand . - writing of Turner. Cross-examined by Mr. Guarenr.—Tht other clerks in the Bank might or might not be able to state it to be the handswritieg of Turner ; they had been asked .the question ; could not go so far as to say if the word John Penn had been shown only. that it was Turner's; if be bad been shewe that name (John Penn) ittacheg SI a stock receipt, without being told any thing more, be would not have said it was Turner's ; the relison he said so was the fact of its being mixed up with the Bank business ; could not say whether be - bad or bad not said be did not believe in the New Testament or the Christian religion.
