FORGERY. Satioviay Andrew Savage and Benjamin Savage were indieted•for forging and uttering it note for 11. purporting to be of the Bank of England, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of said Bank: The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opened the case for the prosecution. J. Charles was taken up on a charge of dealing in forged metes. After that be was employed in detecting the prisoners by Mr. WeStwood, clerk to the Bank Solicitor, and by his desire introthle ed to one Griffith. 'Before that, he had many transactions with the prisoners respecting coun terfeit notes, which be bought at the rate of 10s. ficl. for a I/. note. After being apprehended, dealt with the prisoners five times ; he deliver ed all the notes, to the number of 19, to Mr. Westwood, On the 29th of August, he intro filmed Griffiths to the prisoners, at the Crown and Cushion, London-wall, by appointment. An drew asked if be could be answerable for the conduct 'cif Griffiths 2—and witness said :—" Do you think 1 would bring hint to entrap you ?".; —lie 'then asked how many he wanted'? Witness said, font• for himself, and two for his friend, and gave him 31, 3s. Both prisoners went out, and returned within three quarters of an hour, when A. Savage gave witness six forged notes. They then parted, and witness put the notes into Mr. West wood's custody_ the next morning. On the 30th •of August, be met them again at the same house, with two other persons, when he ; purchased six more for himself, and Griffiths bought two. The other two persons also bought forged notes at the saute . rate. When the Money was pal& the prisoners cm Fled it away, and returned in about an hour, and brought back he money, saying, there mild be nothing done hat night ; bat desired witness and Griffiths to meet hin► at the Fountain, inthe . Minories, next, night. Witness toll this to Mr. Wesfwood, and he was furnished with marked money to the amount tit 3L 33, in silver. In t h e evening Grif fiths and. witness went to the sign of the Grave ?Janice, with Foy, the officer, and an investigator of -notes." Tilvti public-house in the Mint). ries, and font there the two last followed Grim its and witness to the Fountain. A.Savage, and another man, was in the hahie; soon after B. Savage came in, and asked how matiy - wriness wanted He answered,'six ; for which witness paid him in the' money he liad received Irani 'Mr. 'Westwood. The prisonerS then went our,. anti Andrew came back first, tout soon after Benjamin came, anti gave witness six motes., and Griffiths two b and B. said, "11 you want any more, ,meet me at the White Swan, in Colensun-street, to-morrow, at 12." Witness said, he did not think he should. They then parted, and Griffiths anti witness went to the. Grave Morrier, where the notes were deli- vexed *to, Foy. On the 2d of September, they met the prisoners again; and went to the Foun olo followed by Christmas, the investi gator. and Foy but - the prioners wile not there. Tile)/ then went'to the Gal:ey Pole, in Rose and Crown-court, where they stopped a little, and 1) 9 0 - on-isnot,* came in, and said, there could be nothing- done till eight •at night. About seven, the prisoners, Griffiths, and witness, went to the Church, in Aldgate, where they. stood near the. watch-pause; Savage asked bow many be want ed ?—And be said, four ; anti gave hint the money • he had been furnished with at the Barkk. Bepja min took. them .to the sign of the Coach and ' Horses. In about en hour Andrew came to them, and gave them their notes, arid they soon after came all otti_ttigether., • Cross-examined-7 - 1e was imprisoned on a charge of uttering forged notes. The motive for giving his 'evidence was to save his own neck. R. G 61111115 confirmed this testimony. 'He cor roborated the evidence of Charles, as to his 'hav ing receive& the money to purchase. the forged notes. 3. Foy took the prisoners into custody, J. B. Westwood employed Charles and Griffiths for the purpose Of detecting the prisoners. Mr. Coav:roon contended that all the witnesses were particeps crispinis, they having preconcerted the means ut inducing the prisoners to commit this 'offence. Barons GRAIIAM and DALLAS were suprised that such an Objection should be taken ; for these were persons not partaking in any profit arising from the offence, but, on the contrary, their design was to detect guilty persons, and to preveut any profit from arising out of it, to any one. The prisoners made no defence. - ligon-Gastism summed up ; and the Jury re turned a verdict, finding both---Guilty--Death. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, there were se veral other indictments against the prisoners ; but ;dui so satisfactory a conviction be would not press their trial for the-other offences. T. Cann was' also capitally convicted of a simi lar offence, on the evidence of Charles and Foy. TRANSPOSINQ STAMPS. _ Genie Firmer stood capitally indicted for, on the 20th of April last, at Westminster, fraudulent ly and feloniously tearing or cutting, or causing to be torn or cut oil; a certain stamp, used in pur suance of the 55th of the King, and expressing and denominating a certain 'duty of two-pence, grahted by the said Act on every receipt for a - sum amounting to 40s. mid riot exceeding 21, and affixing the seine upon another piece of paper, to wit, on' a receipt for 31. 19s. hi. contrary to the form of the statute. - • -The ATTOattillY.GertallAt. proceeded to state, that the prisober'filled certain offices in the parish of Limehonse ; and it could not be- stated too early, that, except as respected the circumstances kisOut to be laid before the Court, he had, through. out his litb,'sustained a character unimpeached. Tfie , charge was of a capital nature, and,, both as it 'affected the• prisoner and the Public, was of the greatest importance. The substanC'e of the of fence was; that he, being a Collector of Taxes, did take front a paper *filch bad been already used, sumps which had done their duty, and applied theta to new receipts, which he was call ed upon to give in the course of hi 3 ditty, there by d e l i audiug the revenue of the amount of su c h nets stamp, and. putting it into his own rocket. The paper upon which'the indictment was founded and from the view whi c h h e was then k t o le fit b , et.ore nothing iignl :vaa more manifest, thaw that the stamp which it bore had not been impressed upon it, but had been cut off some other piece of paper, and had been pasted upon it. Thera was behind, hovt ever, a still more important question, _namely, whether thii operation hid', been performed with ,a criminal view, and for fraudulent purposes. It was suggested, on the. part of the prisoner, that even admitting that• he had removed the stamp front one piece of pa' per to another,. yet there was still no e videaca, of fraud, for that, in point of fact, the stam p s which were so , affixed were „cut off of spoil ed statues, for which he had paid. if this were really the case, there was certainly an absence of frau- . dulent intention : but whether fraudulent or nor; it was a practice which ought henceforth to cease, because it was extremely improper and discredit able ; and it was well known 'that he had it in his power to obtain, by making - the usual affidavit'' at the Stamp-office, within six months attar his , first purchase of the stamps, an allowance foe, all which he might spoil. Nevertheless, he felt it his duty tt? state, that its the cou r s e of his avocations he bad occasion to know that stamp , t in the burry of public business , bad been oi off one set of slips and transferred to others.-- This, as he before said, however innocently ef fected, was extremely improper, and he trusted would never be repeated. Under the circum stances of this case, the Commissioners of Stamps had felt it their duty to submit the question to tilt Jury, who, on hearing the facts, would ,be best' able to judge how far fraud could.with jobt ic e be ' imputed to the prisoner. ,He cetainly could only prove the fact of the stamp- fitting aihked ri le piece of paper before him out of the ordinal', course, but whether•that stamp had heco used be fore, be hd, no means of forming a judgment. Mr. Baton CsaAHAst said, that the Court .014 highly indebted to the Attorney-General for the, candid auti perspicuous manner: in whi ch he 10' stated this case. Upon weighing all he had s"3l' however, considering the nature of the &fence of the prisoner, and combining with that the defenc e ceitence of his character through life. he Or e ' headed, even supposing all that the Learned torney had seated were ,proved, that there still, would he such a rational doubt of his i n tentr s, being frandulent, boweVer culpable and intte,eo' sive his conduct, that the Jury wou ld feel it i" cumbent to give him the benefit of that (limb!, and acquit him. There could he no proof doted that the paper from which the stamp 1,31: beencut before hail been used, and i t it ha lit ) ! been used, inasmuch as . the pris oner mist hav'l paid for the stamp, he could trot justly be imi; of fraud. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Said, COAL' offer no evidence of the staml) hiving used for any other purpose than that to which bad been applied by the prisoner. q re' Mr. GURNEY, Counsel for. the Pr .
