IRT/47, I[4Ol4DPWir SAITIRPAY EVRITING; JANUARY 6, 1664. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Jan. 4. MANSION-HOUSE. —Benjamin Rooper Spier was brought before Alderman Wilson for final examination, upon the charge of having forged and uttered a cheque for 3701., with intent to defraud Messrs. Spooner and Attwood, the bankers. Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Mullens, solici tors to the committee of bankers for protection from forgeries and frauds, attended for the prosecution ; Mr. Crawford, from the office of Mr. Wentner, for the defence. The case being one of very great interest to the vari ous banking concerns throughout the country, several gentlemen connected with such establishments were pre sent during the investigation. It will be remembered that the cheque stated to be forged cannot be found. The following is the additional evidence : Robert Prevost, a porter, to be found, according to his own statement, at the Spread Eagle, in Gracechurch street, said—l know the prisoner. The first time I saw him was on Tuesday, the 19th of December, between half-past three and four o'clock. He came to me and called me under the gateway of the Spread Eagle, and asked me if I wanted a job? I said, "Yes." He said, "I want you to go to Spooner andAttwood's, and ask for Stevens and Son's pass-book." He said, "Go to the left hand counter, and bring it to the Spread Eagle." I went as directed, and asked for the passbook, and it was given to me, and I took it back to the Spread Eagle, and waited at the corner of the gateway about ten minutes, and the prisoner came up from across the road and said, " Have you got the book ?" I said " Yes, sir," and gave it to him, and he gave me a shillling. He a then went away up the yard of the Spread Eagle, taking the book with him, and in about ten minutes afterwards he came down the yard, through which there is a thoroughfare into Leadenhall market with the book. He said to me, " I want you to take this book back again from where you fetched it. All you have got to do is to take the book and chuck it down on the counter where you had it from, and then come out." I took the book and did as he desired, and as I came back I met him half-way between the Bank and the Spread Eagle. He walked back with me to the Spread Eagle, and asked me if I had taken it, and I said " Yes." tte said, " You have been very quick," and asked me if I had been asked any questions ? I said "No." He said, "It's very strange, as it is over their time for taking in pass-books." He then walked with me to the tap in the Spread Eagle yard, and gave me some brandy, and had some himself, and he gave me another shilling. He went away and I stayed some time there, and afterwards I went down the yard, and he came to me again and asked me if I should be there at eight o'clock. I said, " No, not much after five o'clock." He said, " Never mind ; I shall want you to-morrow morning, very likely, to go and get the same book again." He added that he was staying at the Spread Eagle, and should be there three or four days, and that he had not been in London for seven years. The next time I saw him was in Newgate, while under remand for this charge of forgery. I was shown by one of the turnkeys to a yard where several persons were walking, and I imme diately identified him. He was not pointed out to me. Cross-examined—There were two other persons in the yard at the time ; they were not dressed as he is. He is dressed now as he was on the 19th, `or something similar ;he was in black. I recognised him by his fea tures. I had never been at Spooner and Attwood's, but I knew very well where it was. George Hall, eity porter at the Spread Eagle, Grace church-street, at which he said he had been upwards of 25 years, said—l saw the prisoner first standing, on the 16th of December, in the Spread Eagle gateway. I saw him for several days afterwards, and recollect seeing him talking with the witness Prevost twice on Tuesday, the 19th of December. Cross-examined----I can recollect from one day to another. Mr. Brett (the officer) spoke to me about it. The bills were issued out, and one of the parties asked me if I knew any one who had fetched a book from Spooner and Attwood's, and I said, " Yes, Bob (mean ing Prevost) fetched a book." Mr. F. Fansey (clerk at Spooner and Attwood's) said —The cheque I paid was for 3701., and signed " Stevens and Son," and payable to Mr. Phillips. Mr. W. M. Todd, clerk in the Issue Department of the Bank of England, said—On the 18th of December three bank notes wero brought, I believe, by the wit ness Dixon (a person previously examined), for change. The notes produced are those. The words " For Messrs. Stevens and Son, Southwark-bridge -road Iron works," were written on the 3001. note when brought to me. I paid them all in gold. Cross-examined—l made the entry at the time in the book I produce. Brett (the detective officer) said—On Thursday, the 28th December, I was in Rheidol-terrace, Islington, with Bassett, another officer ' and shortly afte r twelve o'clock I saw the prisoner leave the house No. 31 in that terrace, where he lived, and ge to the Duke of Cambridge public-house. I had also in the neighbour. hood the witness Dixon, whom I desired to go after the prisoner and look at him. Dixon overtook the prisoner by the corner of a short street into Regent's-street, City• road. I saw the prisoner turn round and look at Dixon, and I immediately ran round to the corner of Regent street, when I saw the prisoner at the end nearest the City-road running as fast as he could. I ran after him across the City-road, down York-road, where he turned to the right, and then to the left, up Pitman's-buildings, into Iromsionger-row, near St. Luke's Church, where I succeeded in overtaking him, and collared him. We both stood some seconds before either could speak, both being out of breath. The prisoner said, " What do you want me for !" At that time Bassett came up. I said "I am an officer ; you are in my custody on the charge of forging and uttering a cheque for 3701. on Messrs. Spooner and Attwood on Monday, the 18th." He said, " I'll go quietly—leave go of my ann." I said, "No ; I have had trouble enough to catch you. If you had gone twenty yards further, I eQuid not have caught you." He said, "I wish to God I had known it, and you should never have had me." Ho said, " Where are you going to take me ? To the Mansion-house ?" I said, "You will go there, but you are now going to the station-house." He said, "I'll go to no Mansion-house if I know it. lam going home. I have got a wife at home, and a goose for dinner. Come homo with me." He then said, "Let me go and see Mr. Twells." I asked him what for? He replied, " That I may see if I can't arrange it." He said (re ferring to the date of the forgery), " What day did you say it was ?" I said, " The one I now charge you with was on Monday, the 18th." He asked me if I had got the forgery, and if I had, to let him look at it, He asked me that several times. I took him to the station house, and on searching him I found a gold watch, 41. 4s. 11d., a receipt for 201. deposited at the London and Westminster Bank on the 22d of December in his own name, and sundry papers. On the same day I went with Bassett to the prisoner's house, where I saw his wife and on searching a desk, which Mrs. Spier un locked, I found a number of letters addressed to the pri soner, and also a receipt, which I produce, dated 18th Dec., 1854, for 3031. 4s. 6d.. signed " James T. Spier," and two papers pinned to it. Mr. Alex. Thomson, clerk in the Union Bank of London, said :—On the 19th of December I received 3001. on the deposit account of James Thomas Spier. It was paid all in gold. The person who brought the money filled up the paper I produce, and also gave his signature in the book. Mr. H. Webster said—l am a clerk in the Commer cial Bank of London, in ,Lothbury. Mr. James Thomas Spier is also a clerk there. The signatures to the papers produced are in his handwriting— viz., the deposit re ceipt and the receipt far 3031. 4s. 6d. _ _ Mr. Mullens said that was the case for the prose cution. He had refrained from calling as a witness Mr. James Thomas Spier, the prisoner's brother, a gentle man who was wholly ignorant of the transactions in which the prisoner had been concerned, and who. upon hearing of the accusation, had immediately given up the sovereigns, which had been lodged at the banking•house, in payment of a sum of money due to him by the prisoner, to the solicitors for the prosecution. The prisoner, upon 'being asked whether he wished to say anything in answer to the charge, said he would leave the case in the hands of his solicitor. Alderman Wilson, in committing the prisoner for trial, said the case was one of the most serious that could be committed in a commercial community. It had been carried out with a singular ingenuity, and had a pecu. liarity which he had never in his experience met with before—he meant the absence of the document for which he was committing the prisoner. He entertained no doubt that at the Central Criminal Court perfect justice would be rendered to all parties. The prisoner was then committed for trial. LAMBETH.—James Manning, the driver and owner of the hackney cab No. 36, appeared before the Hon. G. C. Norton to answer a charge of unlawfully making use of abusive and obscene language. Henry Ba*ce, the waterman at the Camberwell-green cabstand, deposed that on the night of the 29th of last month the defendant left his cab in witness's charge, s tating at th e t i me that he was going to have some re freshment. Some time after, and while the cab was the first on the rank, public hou—see, into it by 1, aluastlagdoy and a little boy were admitted it his cab, and hea an h a d th h i e d w tb e e nt de t f o en th d e an t t ap tb ro e o re m w o a f s th a e fa T r i e g ieo r and decl great passion, :4 bite. s T h h ou e ld def n e o n t da le n a t v g e o , t b i u n t to h a e The defendant then ran otti t at : (witness) told him he timst the lady and the little boy getttien he h was bound to do so. cab, and insisted on some other cab, saying he could lady refused to get out, and svitne wahralhe com ff,ssozptuootn told n t rl s, going d e f defendant d i a n n t t take i them. The he was bound to go with the fare, u menced making use of the grossest abuse expressions. —sgusting Mr. Norton--Was the language directed towards you or the lady who refused to get out of the cab? 'Witness—Well, sir, I believe it was principally ad dressed to me, but then it was in the lady's presence, and the expressions were really so bad that it was quite unfit she should hear them. Mr. Norton—Well, defendant, what have you got to say to this charge of making use of filthy language in the hearing of this lady and her boy? Defendant—l can't deny it, Sir ; but the fact is that I wag awfully put out at being disturbed from my supper. Yhe lady would have got into another cab, but this man (tche waterman) would not let her, and, being vexed, I ea rn I blew him up. fr. Norton—What did you get for supper that caused you to reluctantly to leave it ? Delendant—A nice hot steak, your worship. 3r N or ton—Well, why not t a k e i t w i t h you and have it when you set down your fare. went la,nt—Well, si . r, the fact was that it was served up so tic e and hot, with a drop of nice gravy, and a tater, that: I did not like to leave it or let it get cold. (Laughter.) Mr. Norton—All this cannot jastify your making use of the gross language that has been repeated, and for it I shall fine you 7s. and costs. Defendant—That's more than my week's profits will Mr. Norton—And yet you have your nice piece of steak for supper. The defendant ultimately paid the fine. THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE AT DEVIZES. Considerable excitement has been produced at Devizes in consequence of the discovery of the body if a young man, apparently from seventeen to nineteen years of age, in a well in the stable-yard of the Crown• Inn, in that town. It appears that, about 15 0r.16 days ago, a young man, who had been engaged in working a boat upon the canal, suddenly disappeared. Inquiries were made for him in every direction, and descriptions of his per. son and apparel circulated throughout the neighbouring towns and villages ; but all without producing any effect, as not the slightest tidings of his whereabouts could be discovered. It is believed, however, that the body now discovered in the well is that of the young man in ques tion, as his smockfrock, shirt, corduroy trousers, &c., correspond precisely with the description given. The circumstances under which the unhappy young fellow got into the well remain involved in mystery. There are discolorations on one side of his head, but whether pro duced by blows or by the fall down the well cannot of course be determined. The well is used solely for the purposes of the stable, and the discovery of the body was occasioned by the state of the water, which, becoming offensive, the horses refused to drink. An examination of the well then took place, and the corpse was grappled out of it. In the pockets of the deceased were a few loose beans ; and it is now remembered that, about a fortnight ago, a man's cap, in which were some beans of a similar description; was picked up close to the well. CURIOSITIES OP MONEY MAKLNO. (From the Journal of the Society of Arts.) One bank entirely disregards the advantage of uncut or natural edges, and has its paper prepared in large sheets, with many notes on a sheet, neither have the notes any counterpart. Another bank pays excessive regard to counterparts, every note being a separate sheet, with counterfoils at each end. The documents issued by another large foreign establishment have three counterparts, but as to save trouble to the officials the documents are severed from all the counterparts before they leave the printer, the security from this source is rather questionable. In some of the South American States so great is the issue of paper money, that the Government note is worth less than one-tenth of its theoretical value. It would appear that as the cash value of these paper moneys decreases the issue is ex tended, and so, I presume, it will go on until the cost of paper and printing will equal the sum which can be obtained for the finished document, and then a general repudiation of all old notes, and a re-issue will be the only course left. Instances could be given of an im proved style of document tending to raise the shares of the company adapting the improvement. words A few in an Act of Parliament sometimes causes great changes. After expending a large sum in erecting the beautiful and ingenious machinery devised by the late Mr. Cewper for printing onepound notes, and working off some millions, the whole was rendered nugatory by the Legislature decreeing the non-issue of the notes. Not very long since a shopkeeper advertised a 51. note and a dress for a few shillings. The bankers issuing the note had failed, and there being no assets, their paper suddenly decreased in value front pounds to pence. A correspondent of one of the daily papers informed us two or three years ago that the revolutionary party in Italy issued paper money redeemable in happier times, and that the paper so issued was more readily accepted by the peasantry than the paper of the Italian Govern- ments. Pitt found that money is one of the most important sinews of war; Kossuth the same—and we are informed that he carried with him his bank-note apparatus until the last moment. While on this subject I may mention a practice which now strikes one as very curious, but which old colonists of New South Wales will recollect was adopted by the Government to retain dollars in the colony, viz., to stamp a piece out of the centre, thus rendering the coin useless in any other country. The central portion was tender for a quarter dollar, or is. ld.;_and the ring pieces, called ring•dolfars, were valued at 3s. 3d., the whole dollar be ing worth 4s. 4d.
