THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 13, 1844. THE WILLS FORGERIES. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. CONTINUATION OF THE TRIAL OF BARBER, J'LETCHER, AND MRS. DOREY. At tell o'clock Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Baron Gur ney. and Mr. Justice Mauls took their seats on the bench. The names of the jury having . been called over, Mr. William Smee was examined by the ATToSNEV GEXERAL—I am chief accountant to the Bank of England. In 1840 Sir J. Rae Reid was Governor of the Bank. I received written directions from him to trans fer certain stock. The paper I hold in my hand is his order. I, in consequence, transferred 81 Long, Annui ties, on the 20th of October, 1840, in the ,name of Elizabeth Stewart, of Southampton-terrace, Southamp ton-eta-eft, Camberwell. I made the transfer in) se r: The attesting witness is Mr. E. C. Wilkinson. Mr. Wilkinson was called, and proved that he wit nessed the transfer. John Weldon examined—l am a clerk in the will-office of the Bank. I keep a book called the " Taking-in Book." I have got the date of the 16th October, 1840. I hare an entry here made by myself. Letters of adminis tration, in the name of John Stewart. appear in it on the 16th October. I find the mark of that administration indicated by the words, " Bank Register, K. Z., 73,036." 'There were documents left in the Bank illustrative of that transaction. There is, first, an application for the transfer of the stock. The next is the burial extract, two baptismal certificates, and a letter from Mr. Coxwell ; they were all brought in at the time of the letter of ad ministration. It is not usual to keep letters of adminis tration after they have been registered. They were re turned on the 24th of October. It is customary fo; the person - getting them to sign a receipt for them. The name to the receipt is that of " W. H. Barber." The receipt was put in and read. William John Donald examined—The handwriting in the book handed up to me, I believe to be that of Mr. Barber. I have no doubt of the signature being in his handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—I do not recollect seeing Mr. Barber write. I know his writing from pay ing cheques with his name to them. Mr. Weldon, in reply to a question from Mr. GRAVES, said it was not usual to produce the bond of adminis tration at the Bank. The letters wero then read. The first was dated Sept. 8, 1840, signed W. H. Barber, and directed to R. H. Strode, Esq. It stated that the writer had been employed by Miss Stewart, sister of J. Stewart, deceased, and asking for the stock receipts and other documents of the deceased. The other was Mr. Strode's answer, dated Tunbridge Wells, and stated that the papers of his late gardener, Stewart, were in possession of his solicitors, Messrs. Pickering, to whom he referred the applicant. Cross-examined by Mr. Wimuxs—l did not keep the letter of the 11th September, referred to in my answer. Neither Mr. Barber, nor any other person, applied to me for the arrears of wages due to deceased. By Mr. GRAVES—I put the grave-stone over de ceased. The inscription was correct. He appeared about sixty. I paid for it out of Stewart's money. I do not know that Mr. Cockspur, the vicar, ever had a box belonging to Stewart in his possession. Re-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—The age stated cn the grave-stone was sixty-five. I think he was that age, from what I have heard about the time he left Scotland. Edward Thompson, examined by Mr. CLARKSON— I am one of the firm of Pickering and Co., solicitors, Lin coln's Inn. We are concerued for Mr. Strode. I heard from Mr. Strode of Stewart's death in 1840. After that applications were made to us on the subject of his property by the prisoner Barber. The first application was on the 19th of September, 1840. lle called. He afterwards produced letters of administration. He wanted me to give aim information respecting the pro f erty of the late John Stewart. He said he applied on behalf of the sister. I told him I knew there was no sister, and that I had always understood Stewart had no relations whatever. He asked me for the stock receipts which had been given me by Mr. Strode. I told him I should give him no information, as I was not satisfied. He said the Prerogative Court was satis fied, and had granted letters of administration. I said I knew Stewart had no relations, and would give him no information. He said that an affidavit had been made ; I asked to see it. He said it had been filed, and he would show me a copy. He said the sister was an old woman, and had just returned from America. I asked to see her. He said she was very infirm, and could not come. He called ca the 24th with a copy of the affidavit. There were no certificates with it, although referred to in it. He said they were filed. I refused him informa tion, and said we were so perfectly satisfied that Stewart had no relations, that we would give him no information, except he produced perfectly legal evidence. He ap peared much surprised. I have a clerk, named Besant, who was present at some of the interviews. A. S. Besant—l am a clerk in the office of Pickering and Co. I was present at an interview between Barber and the last witness, on the 24th September. On the Ist October following, Barber called at the office. I told him the affidavit he had left was not satisfactory, and pointed out in what I considered it unsatisfactory. I believe the affidavit was taken away that day by Barber. I told him that this meeting at the Bank with her brother, alluded to in the affidavit, should be better ex plained. It was an odd place for them to meet. I re quired information as to where deceased was born, and where he went to school ; and I said it was odd that this lady having come from America, should have sent a person to Marlow instead of going herself. I alluded also to the want of certificate. He appeared much sur prised, and asked what would satisfy us? I said, in formation that the sister could very easily give if we could sea her. He said we could not see her, she was indisposed. At his request I made a memorandum of the information we required, and gave it to him. He took it, and said he would get the information we requested. Ile never called again. We received °this letter from him. dated Oct. 31. (The letter having been preyed as to the writing, was read. It requested Mr. Strode, the client of Mr. Pickering, to inform the writer what sum was due to the late J. Stewart, whether for wages or otherwise.) This is a copy of our answer, dated Nov. 13, 1840. (It stated that the writer begged to inquire who Mr. Barber's client was, and by what right that client iaterfered, and that if on behalf of the person alleging herself to be the sisterof deceased, they were not satisfied she was the sister, and should not attend to the application.) On 4th November we received the following letter from Mr. Barber.—(This letter stated that his client was the administratrix and sister of the deceased, and that he had shown to them the letters of administration, and stating that the Beek Direetors had admitted the claim of Mrs. E. Stewart, and had transferred the stock to her name, and that, therefore, she was entitled to the infor mation she required, without being driven to the ex pense of adverse proceedings.) This is our answer to that application.—(lt was dated 6th of November, 1840, and stated that when they were satisfied that Elizabeth Stewart was sister of the intes tate, they would give every information, and re quested answers to the queries which had been pre viously put to him.) We heard nothing more of Mr. Barber after that letter. The queries were, where was deceased born ? Where did he go to school ? When did he leave home ? Which of his parents was alive at that time.) Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—I do not recollect hearing Mr. Barber say the certificates were filed. If I had I should have known where to find them at the Prerogative-office. We had one trifling transaction with Mr. Barber since. About a year ago he was concerned for a person against whom we had brought an action. Re-examined by Mr. BODKIN—There were no office copies of the certificates produced. Mr. WILKINS—It is not usual to give office copies of exhibits. Mr. Seaton, of the Prerogative-office, recalled—lt is usual to give office copies of the exhibits, if they are asked for. At this point of the proceedings the Court adjourned for a few minutes, for refreshment. On the re-assembling of the Court, the first witness called was To Mr. WILKINS—The entry in the Bank-book is Kot all in the same handwriting. The name of Stewart is in the handwriting of Mr. Ripon. Mr. J. B. Ripon—l am clerk to the Bank. I was so at the period alluded to ; some of the writing in question is my handwriting, and part is in the handwriting of two other persons. The date of 24th of October is in my handwriting. That is the day on which the papers were delivered. The signature is that of the person who received them. Or that there is no doubt; such is the practice of the Bank. The ATTORNRY.GENERAL then put in a letter signed by Elizabeth Stewart requestine , tha re-transfer of the ,toek, which was read by the Clerk. It stated that application would have been made long before but th3t the writer was in America, and had not heard of the •tlearh of her brother John Stewart. till many years after lit had occurred. Tile rezister of the marriage of John and Janet Stewart, in the parish of Callendar, PertlishireAon the 176 i 41 October, 1756, was then put in and read. The certificate of the burial of John Stewart, in Great Mar low. by the Rev. Mr. Coxwell, on the 19th March, 1827. also put in and read, as wt 11 as a letter from Mr. Coxwell to Mr. Barber, stating that on the gravestone of the deeeased John Stewart was of the age of 65 ; thst he did not know of his hating made a will, and did not know anything about his papers. Mr. Grattan was recalled, at the request of Mr. WIL KINS, and said that he believed the letter handed up to him was in the handwriting of Joshua Fletcher. Mr. Hill, a member of the Stock Exchange, exarained —My office, in 1840, was in 23, Threadneedle-street. I know-the prisoner Barber. In October he called at my ofli •e, and requested me to accompany him to the Bank to identify him. I did so. We saw Mr. Gray, the •lleputy-Accountant. I saw a female there, in dark clothes. She was between 40 and 50, I think. She did not appear to be feeble. I don't think she was an aged person, but the time is long passed, and I do not well rc collect. She was a little above the middle stature. I don't recollect whether she was pale or fresh-coloured. Mr.. Barber introduced her to me as Mrs. or Miss Stew art. The usual document, " Wm. H. Barber known to me," was then given to me, which I signed. 11r. Donald was called, and proved that the signature " W. H. Barber," to the document aas in the hand writing of Barber. Mr. Hill recalled—Barber called upon me on the 24th of October. Mr. Beaden produced the transfer-book of the 24th October. Mr. Hill continued—He gave me instructions to sell 51t. Long Annuities out of the narne of Elizabeth Stewart, Southampton-terrace, Southampton-street, Camberwell, I sold the stock, and Barber came to my office, about two o'clock. We went to the transfer. office together, sad the transfer was effected by the same female whom I had before seen at the Bank. I gave the cheque pro duced to Mr. Barber for 652/. 9d. I afterwards disco vered that I had paid him 31. 3e. 9d. too much. Instead of being sold at 121, it had been sold at 12 11-16ths only. I then went to see Mr. Barber, but Could not End him. I afterwards went to the bankers, and found that the cheque had been paid in gold. I told Mr. Barber of this, and he remarked that they were " silly country eople, and were alarmed at the rumours of war with .Wrimee which then prevailed." I asked him for the ad dress of Elizabeth Stewart, and sent a letter to her by m,y clerk, but it was returned. I afterwards got the 31. 3s. 9d. from Barber. Crosa•examined by Mr. 1 77flaciNs—I was a member of the Southwark Literary Society, and Mr. Barber was a ,member of the committee. As far as .1 know he always snood high in respectable society. The Committee was fumed of some of the first men in the Borough. Lord 13.rougham had presided on one occasion at a meeting the Society. My memory is not distinct about the tessale'e appearance, but to the best of my recollection she did not emceed 50 years. I have seen Lydia Saun ders and Mrs Dorey. Re-examined- I —On the second occasion I identified the female. The stock could not be sold without that. I have no doubt of her being the same person I had seen before. Were Ito see her now dressed as she was then, I think I could recognise her. To Mr. Baron GURNEY—The letter was brought back by the clerk in consequence of the lady being out. I told my clerk to bring it back if she was not there. 11r. Harding—l was a cashier in Sir J. LubboA's b l e k .;:., I paid the cheque produced in gold. 652 eove rogea, or sovereigns and balt.sovereigns. Mr. Tillotson, clerk in the public drawing-office of the Bank of Nigland—l have an entry of the 17th October, 1840. The .order of the chief cashier, dated the 22d October, is for the payment of 7291. 10s. I paid the nr.ney, which appears to have been received by Eliza beth Stewart ; that name being on the bill. I have no distinct recollection of the fact, or the per.on who re ceived it. John 'ladling, examined by Sir J. BAYLEY—I am n years of age. I live in the parish of Crichton, in the county of Edinburgh. I knew John Stewart. I knew him all my life. He was a gardener, and worked with Mr. Paterson. He worked with him many years. Pat erson had three sons, John, William, and James. knew John Paterson, the son, first, when he was about fourteen years of age. He went into the west country to some nobleman's house. He was a gardener. John Stewart went from Crichton to Phantasie, and lived with Mr. Rennie. I never heard John Stewart mention any family that he had. Cross-examined by Mr. GRAVES—Stewart is a common name in Scotland. I never knew but one John Stewart. I never saw him at Phantasie. I never saw J. Paterson, the son, after he left Crichton. Re-examined by Sir Josue BAYLEY—It was about 30 years ago that John Stewart left Crichton. I John Withersperne, examined by Mr. BODRIN—I re ' sided at Kigdore in Scotland. I know the last witness. I lived once at Phantasie, in Preston Kirk. That a as 52 years ago. I knew a John Stewart living there with Mr. Rennie, in the same service that I was in. He lived there a twelvemonth. Phantasie is IS miles from Crich ton. Stewart was at Phantasie when I left. He had very few relations that I understood. He said he hal one brother named James. He never spoke about an y sister. I was very intimate with him, lie went over with me to Haddington, en the road to Crichton, when we went home for our certificates, and we returned to Phantasie the same day. I do not remember his shun ing 1119 his certificate. He came to pay me a visit before he left Phantasie. He left soon after that. I did nut see him start. He was eight years older than I am. My age is seventy-four. He was about thirty when he left Scotland. I have never seen him since. Joseph Lockhart examined by Mr. CLARKSON— I was formerly a gardener. I reside at Wimbledon. I was acquainted with John Stewart, a gardener th' ra, between 40 and 50 years ago. Hy always was considered as a native of Scotland. "He lived with John Shelley, Esti:, at Wimbledon. John Paterson was working under him. I was intimate with him. I saw him occasionally until nearly his death. I knew him a rr l y so ara wi , th an tw d o t M he r. o S t t h r e od r e a s t , l u , n o c r l t e G a ar n d d en n . nephew — e d ° l e ca a si t onally to call on me at Wim bledon. I once saw John Paterson's father. He came to see his son at Wimbledon, when he worked for this John Stewart. Old Paterson and John Stewart appeared to be acquaintances. I never heard John Stewart mention his family but once. He said he had no relations living that he knew of ; he never had but one brother ; he had gone to the Indies, and had not been heard of for twenty years, and therefore be supposed that he must be dead. He never said that he had ever had a sister. I Cross-examined by Mr. GRAVES—I never was at Mr. Strode's. James Gudge examined by Sir J. BAYLEY—I am the clerk of the J ourna l s of the House of Commons.

Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES—I never spoke to her father. J. H. Genn produced the copy of the marriage certifi cate of Mrs. Richards, at Falmouth, which, however, was not received, as it had not been properly compared with the original. Thomas Griffin, a tailor, resided in Oxford-street some' years ago. The prisoner, Mrs. Dorey, lived in the same house with her m other, Mrs. Richards. The Saunderses also lived in the same apartments. A child of Mrs. Richards died there, and the wife of witness assisted to lay oat the child. That was the first of his acquaintance with them.

The paper proposed to bt , given in evidence having been handed up to the Court, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proceeded to argue in favour of the admissibility of the document, as the knirt of Kirk Sessions was a public Court, recogni, e d b r law.

Witness does not know man named Fletcher was the friend who advanced her the handwriting of M'Namara, a clerk in Barber's office. the money to recover the property. They then went to Mr. Strode recalled—This is the answer I wrote to I the !proctor's office. that letter. Mr. GRAVES objected to the admission of statements made by one prisoner in the absence of the other, who would be affected by the statement. Mr. Baron GURNEY said it would be sufficient to con fine the evidence to facts, without those statements. Examination resumed—On going to the proctor's of fice, he there signed a bond, which was the one now put into his hands. About a fortnight after he received another message, in consequence of which he went again to St. Paul's Churchyard, where he met the old lady, accom panied by the prisoner Fletcher. She said she wanted witnesses to complete the business. They then went to the proctor's again, and when they had been in the outer office some time, a gentleman came in, whom Mrs. Richards described as her solicitor. That gen tleman was the prisoner Barber. The latter went into the inner office with Mr. Pott. Witness went into the inner office afterwards, and put his name to a paper.—(The paper was here presented to the wit ness, and recognised by him.) He was sworn to the truth of that paper. After he had signed the paper, and sworn to it, he received a sovereign from the old lady, and a shilling to ride home. In six months afterwards he received a letter, inclosing another one, which was ad dressed to Mrs. Dorey. Barber was not present when Mrs. Richards said he was her solicitor. The letter he had just spoken of was from the Stamp. office. He did not do anything inconsequence of that letter. But he afterwards received a second and then a third letter, in consequence of which he went to Mr. Pott. He then went to look for Fletcher. In consequence of what he heard at Bar ber's he went to 14, Southampton•terrace, Camberwell, but he did not find either Fletcher or Mrs. Richards. Subsequently Mrs. Dorey called upon him to ask for the letter he had received from the Stamp-office, respecting , her uncle's property. He expressed great disappoint ment that they had not paid the stamp duties, for which he was answerable. She told him where she lived, in Dean-street, Soho ; and said that she would take care he should have no more trouble about it. He afterwards received another letter from the Stamp office, which he took first to Dean street, and then to 45, Oxford-street, where Mrs. Uorey was then living, having recently been married. Mrs. Dorey requested him to take the letter to the solicitor, Mr. Barber, who told him that he had been to the Stamp office about the duty being paid, and that witness should hear no more about it. Witness had not since received any further communication from the Stamp-office. Got more money for what he had done. The COURT—How much? Witness-10/. from Mrs. Dorey. The paper now put into his hand was read over to him, in Mr. Pott's office, before he swore to it at the Prerogative-office. Mr. CLARKSON—Was the affidavit which you swore to on that occasion true or false ? Witness—l do not know that the whole of it was read over to me. Mr. CLARKSON—Did you know these people as long as you swore you did ? Witness—l did not. Mr. GRAVES—Do you swear that the whole of the affidavit was not read over to you by Mr. Pott's clerk ? Witness—l do not think I would have sworn to it, un less it had been. Mr. GRAVES—Did you not know you were sworn to the tnith of the affidavit, and do you mean to say that you took your oath to the truth of the contents of that affidavit without knowing what they were? Witness — I believe I did. Mr. GRAVES—Do you not know you did? Witness — I did, but I thought it was only a matter of form to com plete what had been done before. Mr. GRAVES--Do you believe in a future state of rewards and punishments?—No answer. To Mr. PIIINN (for Mrs. Dorey)—Had been intimate with the Richardses from the time they lived in Oxford street in the same house. Had often heard them say that property belonging to them had been lost. Miss Richards was very obedient to her mother. [The wit ness was frequently reproved by the Bench for the indis- tinct manner in which he gave his evidence.] Mr. Geun was recalled to prove the marriage certifi cate of Thomas Richards and Susannah Crene, at Fal mouth, in 1785, and also the certificate of baptism of Georgiana Richards, on the 23d April, 1802. Mr. Frederick William Pott examined by the ATTOR NEY-GENERAL—Is a proctor in Doctors'-commons. The business in respect to the will in question was tran sacted with his clerk, Mr. Keene. To Mr. GRAVES—Did not read over the affidavit, or the draft of it, to the last witness, Griffin, but heard it read over to him. Witness, with his clerk, examined the affidavit with the draft. To Mr. WILKINS—Before Barber came to the office, all the preliminary part of the business had been cbrn pleted, and an affidavit, which witness thought would have been sufficient, had been prepared. Witness saw Mr. Barber but once in the transaction, and considered his conduct strictly professional. He recollected that some certificates of marriage and baptism were filed with the affidavits. To the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—The affidavits were read several times, for the purpose of comparing the affi davit with the draft, and also to make it clear to the parties what they were going to swear. He could not say at this remote period how many times it was read. He would not be precise at this remote period. It was an ordinary transaction, so long back as 1840 ; but it was an invariable practice to read the affidavits to the parties, and in this case more than usual care had been taken, as one affidavit had been sent back by the re gistrar two or three times. To the COURT—Mr. Barber came to witness in conse quence of the difficulty of getting the affidavit passed. Edward Parker Wolfe had been acting as solicitor for Mrs. Dorey. At her desire he transmitted the state ment now placed in his hand to Mr. Freshfield, the so licitor for the prosecution. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that there were parts of the statement which related to cases not now before the Court, and he thought it was desirable to read only those parts which related to the present case. The COURT thought that it would be best for , the pro- secution to read those parts which they thought appli cable, and if the prisoners thought fit they could have any other parts read. The jury, however, would bear in mind that they should not receive as evidence against the other prisoners anything that was said by one of them in the absence of the others. The following statement by Mrs. Dorey was read by the Clerk : " It is now about 14 or 15 years since I first became acquainted with the prisoner Fletcher, who was then living in the London-road, and practising as a surgeon, having a chemist's shop there. I was then residing in Portland-street. I cannot speak with certainty of my see; to the beat of my belief I was about 18 or 20. Both Fletcher and his wife expressed a great partiality for me, and I bectuna a frequent visitor at their house. They Introduced me to a Mr. Stokes, and represented him as a gentleman holding a situation in the Bank of England. Some time after my intimacy at Fletcher's, he and Stokes solicited me to go to the Bank; they said if I would only sian my name and address for them, as a hondswoman, they would, and did, give me 501. I wrote more than signing my name, and went to the Bank, I think, more than once with them, and to the Commons. I did not understand the matter at all. Fletcher and Stokes took the money in their possession that was paid at the Bank and afterwards went to an inn with a Mr. Pizely (or Pizey), Mrs. Fletcher, and myself. After a long conversation between Fletcher, Stokes, and Pizely, the latter left tee We then got into a coach, and returned to Flatcher's residence in the London-road. I gave the money I received from them to my mother. I was at the time living with her, my sister and her husband, Mr. Sanders. Neither of them knew that I had any money at all given to me by Fletcher. I remained on terms of friendship with Fletcher for some time. I cannot speak of dates withetny certainty ; but I know it continued up to the Christmas following the trial. Mr. Fletcher in duced me to enter against Mr. Taylor for breach of pro mise of marriage. Sometime previously to the trial my daily avocations called me from home. On my return, after exchanging visits with them, Mr. and Mrs. Flet cher said to my mother and myself they could do much better for us than my being in the Pantheon. On our inquiring how, they said Mr. Fletcher had a friend in the Bank of England that enabled him to get money, and he could get some for us. We again asked in what manner ; but they did not explain beyond Mr. Fletcher observing to my mother, that if she would place herself ' under his instruction and direction, he would do well for her, and asked her if she would do as he wished in every thing. She said she would, after Fletcher saying he would guarantee that she should do nothing but what was right. After this, Fletcher explained what he meant by saying that there were many sums of money in the Bank of England without any claimants, and which were in the hands of the Commissioners ; and, us there were no relations left to claim them, they belonged as much to the public as to them (the Commissioners) ; therefore he would represent her , as a relation to some person deceased, who had left money unclaimed, and one of the clerks who stood high in the Bank of England would supply him with all the information requisite to take the money. Fletcher then mentioned the name of Stewart, and said that a man of that name had been dead some years, and left a sum of money which, by my mother being represented as Stewart's relative, could be easily obtained, but that she must place herself entirely under his direction, and leave her home for a short time, and go to a lodging which he would prepare for her. My mother assented, and promised to do as Fletcher directed. He asked if I knew any friend that would take care of any letters that might come through the post directed to a Mr. Jones. I mentioned Miss Hawkes, and afterwards asked her if she would take care of such letters if directed to her care. She said she would, and the letter (or letters) she brought to me, r I Ildwoai oi g ndt kd a hk v fw e nomoir u tweh n h o itims p hn e erf n ir i.tr e hae d cennod t dn o ß. t e lk o l t Mr I t c v h e e n r t t o I d t h o e not i:3a n , k n o o f r nEe Eng land ge otuMrs.n WhilstdF t ! e t c h h e w r M while . a smgr r o. s n . Fletcher Fletcher t heg ennt.waitedgentleman at passed us. When Mr. Fletcher returned, Mrs. Fletcher told him Mr. Christmas had passed us, and we pointed to the office he went in. Mr. Fletcher went after him, and after being absent some time returned, and we left the bank together, Mr. Fletcher observing, I might be sure the ; gentleman I had seen would not risk the high situation he held by giving information for him (Fletcher) to act on it if it was illegal. Fletcher took a lodging for my mother at a shop in Southampton -place (er terrace) Camberwell, in the name of Stewart, and my mother went and lived there in such name ; and I, by Fletcher's direction, visited my mother as her niece. He said he would not do anything for me if I did not give up my business in the bazaar; if I would do sohe would establish me, with his daughter, in some first-rate business at the West-end. I consulted with my mother about it, and she thought it best for me to do as he wished. I therefore disposed of my stock in the best manner I could, and quitted the Pantheon, relying solely on Mr. Fletcher's promise of doing better for me. To revert to my mother's case. Fletcher expressed his regret at not having a person at command who would say that he or she had known my mother as Miss Stewart and sister to the deceased, and in other respects to establish my mother's identity as such. On my asking him how it was he did not know of such a person, he said the fact was he had employed all the persons he could in that way; that during the period of our not being on friendly terms he had had two rich cases, in one of which he was the principal, in the other he had only a share, but that he realised a large sum of money by them ; that a man named Briggs and his wife were the parties employed to tyke the cases. Fletcher said he had taken lodgings for Mary Briggs (the wife of Briggs), and that he mentioned these eases to assure my mother that she was not endangering her self in any way. On my mother saying to Fletcher she knew a tailor that was much reduced in c i rcums ta nce s, he said " Tell him you will give him 10/. to identify you as Miss Stewart, and sister to the deceased Stewart." Fletcher wrote out an account :or my mother to make herself perfectly acquainted with, and desired her to give it to Griffin after she had done so, that he might know what to say as to the particula r s o f t h e mat t er ; at the same time she was to impress on G ri ff in a b e li e f that Stewart was her family name. My mother sub sequently saw Griffin, the man now in cust o dy o n thi s charge, and made the proposition to him, which he accepted. She told Fletcher that Griffin was quite willing to the proposal ; he (Fletcher) then said, that that was all he required, as Mr. Barber and himself would manage all the rest. I cannot say how long the case was in hand ; Fletcher was fearful my mother would not live to go through the business ; he took her medicine nearly every morning ; she was then about 71 or 72 years of age. I do not know of any other inquiries being made respecting the case than I have here stated. The, money was obtained, and Fletcher gave my mother between 4001. and 5001. for her trouble. I heard nothing further of the matter, except that the legacy duty was not paid, although it had been invested in the hands of Barber to do so at the time. The official communication was made' to Griffin some time after from Somerset-house, at the receipt of which he came to me to know what to do. I said he had better take it to Barber the solicitor. I gave him half a sovereign for his loss of time. Previously to my mother quitting the lodging at Camberwell, Fletcher said he should not consent to her returning ag de to Rathbone place ; therefore, much against her inclination and my own, I took a lodging for her in Tottenham-court-road. Ido not recollect the number. It was at a carver and gilder's shop, on the right hand side of the road from Oxford. street. lam the only person that visited her while she remained there. She was so unhappy I told Fletcher I should have her home. He reluctantly consented after she had been there about a fortnight or three weeks. In Stewart's business I gave to Mr: Griffin ten sovereigns, I took them to his lodging in Duke -street, Grosvenor-square, a'td gave them into his own hands, five from my mother, and five from Mr. Fletcher. Soon after this I removed from Rathbone-place to live in Tottenham-court-read. The Fletchers were then living in Southampton-place. I spent much time with them. He was our only friend and adviser. He frequently said that he interested him self as much in my welfare as he could do for his own daughter." Examination of Mr. Wolfe resumed—Believed that it was the wish of Mrs. Dorey to be admitted a witness. She was repeatedly cautioned by himself and the visiting magistrate that any statement would be used against her. Mr..Witaties—Do you mean to tell me that I am not to believe my own ears?-that an attempt was not made by a magistrate of the City to twist a statement from her? or at :east that you did not say so? Mr. Wolfe— Mrs. Dorey told me that the Lord Mayor had wished her to make a statement; but the Lord Mayor publicly denied it. Mr. WILKINS believed that the Lord Mayor told the truth. Mr. William Christmas, a clerk in the Bank of Eng land, had facilities of knowing the particulars relating to unclaimed dividends. Had conversations on the subject with Fletcher. Unfortuately did counounicate to the prisoner the particulars of the case of Stewart's stock. Received 50L or 1001. from Fletcher, after the stock was drawn out. Cross-examined --Knew it was against his duty to give the information to the prisoner. Did not communi cate to the solicitor of the Bank that he had dune so, until after Fletcher was in custody. The Lord Mayor (examined by Mr. CLARKSON) said that there was not the slightest truth in the statement, that he had attempted to extract any acknowledgment from the prisoner Dorey. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. GRAVES said that it was now his duty to show that there was no forgery. It was not a forgery in the meaning of the statute, nor in the meaning of the indictment. It was not set forth in what way the bond was forged, but alleged generally that it was so, and they were therefore bound to prove that the whole was forged. According to the statute, in order that the document should be considered a forgery, it must be invalid ; but, in fact, this was a valid instru• went as against two of the parties, Fletcher and Griffin. Mr. Baron GURNEY—Is that all you have to say on the point ? Mr. GRAVES—There were other objections, to which he would advert at another time. The CouaT—You had better go on now. Mr. GRAVES would then submit that the intention of fraud was too remote, as far as the Treasury and the Bank were concerned, to bear out the indictment of an intention to defraud either of these bodies. There was no such proximate intention as was necessary to be proved in order to sustain the present prosecution. There were no cases reported which were completely analogous to this, but he submitted that there would be no doubt upon the law of the matter, that the intention to defraud the parties named in the indictment must be immediate. Mr. BALLANTINE briefly followed on the same side. The COURT, without calling on the Attorney-General, decided against the objections. Mr. GRAVES said that he wished now to mention, before his friend, Mr. Wilkins, left the Court, that he intended to claim his right to address the jury for the defendant Fletcher, in the order in which he stood in the indictment. Mr. WILKINS apprehended that, as the senior counsel, he was entitled to be hear/ first. After a desultory conversation, the Court were of opi nion that the cases for the prisoners should be taken in the order in which they stood in the indictment, without regard to the seniority of the counsel. The Court then adjourned till ten o'clock this day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE (YESTERDAY.) MARYLEBONE.

James Ryan, an Irish labourer, was placed before Mr. Long, for re-examination, on a charge of having violently assaulted Edward Smith, a policeman in the D division. George Mayberry was charged before Mr. Trail, with committing a violent assault on Michael Hennessey, who was unable to attend owing to the serious n iture of the injuries he had received. It appeared tha' Hennessey ant sn .:ee;l father, ware fighting ....jai -acti e; her ;he noon in Charlotte -street, li;acktriarA•r. ad. A ge!, , man. on witnessing the scene, interfered, saying ihst it was a shame to allow such doings ; upon wh4:ll yow-g Hennessey,witla an oath, exclitimeil that he would murder any person who interfered, and immediately struck the gentleman. The defendant, who happened to be patsine at the time, with an adze handle, endeavonred to peelf, Hennessey, who atttu,keil Idea. and lie struck his assailant with he adze, ant completely disabled him. Mr. Trail said that it appeared the deferviatit %yes preroked to einninit the assault !!..ntiessey, who was in the hospiial. Under alt the circumstances of the case, he (Mr. Trail) should call upon the defetirl•int to enter into his own recognizance, to appear on a future day, in, the event of a fatal termination to the ease. Elizabeth Jones, a woman with ea:'h silt of tier face decorated with a quantity of artifice "-,veers, was charged with robbeig an elderly ge eueei,..e, named Chalks, of a purse, containing a severeig‘:. The complainant stated, that as he was returning home to. Walworth the preceding night, in passing over London-bridge, he was accosted by the prisoner, who endeavoured to force her company on him. He how ever walked on quickly, to avoid her, and when he got into Lock's-fields he there found she was still after him ; and she there - came up end began to " fondle" him. He told her, he wanted none of her " fondline," having an old woman at home, upon which the prisoner thrust h,r hand into his pocket and robbed him of his purse and money. He accused her or the ail, but she began to swear at him, and tried to escape, but a police man coming up. he gave her into custody. The money, however, was not found, and it is supposed she swal lowed the sovereign. The empty purse was found at daylight, near the spat where the occurrence took place. The prisoner, who infests the road in question for the purpose of plundering men on their way home, merely denied the charge. _ Mr. TRaILL being of opinion that the committal for trial of the prisoner would not insure a conviction, dealt summarily with the case, by inflicting a penalty of 40e. on the prisoner, and, in default, committed her for a month to the treadmill. The complainant, who has been confined in the hospital since the assault, was supported into Court, and his appearance exhibited the degree of brutal violence to which he had been subjected. Mr. Long told him to be seated at the clerk's desk, and on being sworn he fainted, but after some little time he was enabled to give his evidence. He stated that on Tuesday last he was on duty in Gloucester-square, and separated the prisoner and another Irishman, who were proceeding to fight. The two men, followed by a crowd of persons, then went into the mews, and 'he followed. The prisoner was standing among the crowd, and said " Here comes the blue b-, let's down him." Many persons said, " Let the young man alone, he did but his duty " The prisoner rushed out from among the others, and struck him a tremendous blow with his fist upon the forehead. He did not think it prudent to take hitn into custody at that moment, but meeting soon afterwards a brother constable, they returned, and he then tool the prisoner into custody. The mob itn merliately rescued him. Witness took him into cus tody twice that same evening, and twice he was re leased, the last time successfully. Witness was re peatedly thrown down, and while so kicked over the eye and on the head till he was in a state of stupor. The finishing blow was given by a person (not the prisoner), who struck him over the head with a hod, and left him senseless. He did not recover conscious ness until under the hands of the surgeon (The poor fellow was left senseless upon a heap of rubbish, his companions having been obliged to retreat, and he was found in the same state, when, on their being reinforced, they came back some time after, and took him on a stretcher to the surgeon's.) Several witnesses corroborated the fact of the pri soner having been among the rioters. An attempt was made on his part to prove an alibi, but unsuccessfully. Mr. LoNo sent him, without fine, to the House of Correction for a month, the utmost period which the law will allow. _ _ Margaret Jon ee , a respecta bly dressed female, was brought up before M r . Long, charged by her master, Mr. John Knaggs, s u l geon , N o . I, Mornington-crescent, Hampstead-road, i n w h ose serv i c e she lived as cook, with stealing three silver spoe4s, marked with a griffin's head, his crest, and pawning the same. The evidence proved that the prisoner had offered the property for sale at Mr. Crinch's, 33, Grafton-street, where the shoprnan, suspecting that they were dishonestly come by, taxed her with the fact, when she attempted to run away, but was given into custody.—The prisoner made no defence, and was committed for trial. BOW-STREET. A Lascar named — au1;;;;;, and a man named Thornton. a sailor, were brought before Mr. Tw ) ford, charged with exposing for sale a quantity of obscene prints and songs in Covent-garden. Mr. Mitchell, the solicitor to the Society for the Sup pression of Vice, attended for the prosecution. The case was fully proved against the prisoners. Their defence was that they could not sel! common prints and songs, and therefore they were obliged to resort to the sale of these obscene works, to obtain their livelihood. Mr. TWYFoRD inquired where it was that they got the prints and songs from? ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--Liverpool. April 10. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE and a Special Jury.) DORAN V. RITCHER. This was an action on a policy of insurance from fire, in which the plaintiff sought to recover from the Phcenix Insurance Company a sum of 4831., the amount of damage sustained by him from a fire in the month of September, 1842. Mr. Knowles and Mr. James were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin and Mr. Watson for the defendant. As it was admitted on the part of the defendant, that if the plaintiff was entitled at all he was entitled to the full amount claimed, the defendant was held entitled, the affirmation of the pleas being upon him, to begin. Mr. MARTIN etated the defendant's case, from which it appeared that the plaintiff was a marine store dealer, in Crempton-street. in this town, and had eff -cted the policy in question in the Phoenix Insurance C ,mpany for the sum of 5001. By one of the con Won: or the policy it was provided, that on any loss by fire taking place, the insured should send in a true aceouet of the damage sustained, and that in case of any s ch return being fraudulent, the polity should be forfeited. The fire at the defendant's premises toek place on the 26th 3r September, 1842, immediately after the gre it fire by which so large an amount of property was destroyed. The premises consisted of a dwelling-house built of wood, with an iron roof, and a store adjoining. also built of wood. Behind the house was a stable, c• ,ntain ing a number of horses, belonging to a person of the name of Bushell, and over that was a hayloft fined with hay. At the side of the stables were a number of pig.tyes under an inclin-id plane, that led up to the hayloft door. The top of this inclined plane came up to the rear of the plaintiff's dwelling-house, and any person could from that point look into the loft over the dwelling-house, as well as into the loft eve r the warehouse. Crompton street was in the immediate neighbourhood of the great fire, and for some days a very great alarm existed in the minds of the inhabitants from the apprehension of the fire extending in that direction. Under that impression many of them removed their goods, and, among others, a quantity of furniture was removed from tie house of the plaintiff. The fire, however, was got under; the alarm had subsided; and the greater number of the neighbours had returned to their dwellings. No portion, however, of the goods so removed from the plaintiff's house was, it was alleged, brought back. On the 26th of September the plaintiff and his wife were, as was alleged, at the Amphitheatre, where an amateur p •r -formance was being given, for the benefit of some of the schools connected with the Boman Catholic places of worship. One of the neighbours had occasion to go into the yard adjoining Bushell's stable, and was surprised to see a light in the hayloft, which at first thought pro ceeded from a candle. Almost immediately after flames burst out. and, communicatin with the adjoining pre mises, occupied by the plaintiff the whole, in little more than half an hour, was level with the ground. Shortly after, the plaintiff sent in his claim to the insurance office, alleging that, among other things, he had lost tour tons of oakum, three •and-a-half tons of rags, eight or nine tons of old rope, thirty-three flock beds, and other bulky articles. Circumstances came to light which induced a suspicion that the plaintiff had himself set I the house on fire, and he was finally com mitted for trial. At the following assizes he was tried for the arson, and acquitted. It was now sought. to show that the property for which the plaintiff sought compensation could not possibly have been or the premises at the time the fire occurred. It was calculated that the goods alleged to have been consumed would fill, at the lowest estimate, about 3,952 cubic feet, and would nearly fill the whole of the premises. It appeared from the evidence of Mary Beckett, who was in the service of Mrs. Bushell, that she had occasion to go into the plain tiff's house with a message to Mrs.. Doran the day the fire occurred ; that she found no one within, and that on looking into the parlour and the kitchen she found them empty. She was afterwards in the lower store, and at that time 'there was hardly anything in it. Alice Bushell and Samuel Jones stated that they had occa sion to go up the inclined plane already mentioned to get some ha z y out of the hay-loft ; that the window of the prisoner s house was open, that they looked in, and there was at that time nothing visible but same remains of burnt cotton which the women in the emp!oy of the plaintiff had been picking. The strongest widen -e, however, was that of two little boys, who stated that in the course of the sfernoon they got through the window in question lute, tie , loft, and remained more than an hour playing at " tick." They said both the lofts were all hut empty, and nothing to hinder their rum , ing about in any part of them. It was further seeght to show, from the manner in w hich the premises burned, that they could net have centaineti such geode as those de- scribed. 'File engines were promptly in attendanee, and a great quantity of water was thrown on the burning mass ; but the whole was consumed, so as hardly to leave a vestige, within half an hour of the fire breaking out. It was alleeed by a number of witnesses having great experience in such matters, that there would be, under the circum-tanees, a great mass of materials among the ruins, had the stock on the premises been in any degree of the kind and quantity enti c ed. 'or the plaintiff, evidence was adduced to show that the property in question was on the premises at the time of the fire taking place. For this purpose a person Of the name of M.Gee, and some other parties, were called. M'Gee was in the service of the plaintiff, and is a rela tion of his. His statements went to show the existence of property to the full extent alleged. He said he had kept watch on the premises for several nights before this occurred, but on that night, being very much fatigued, Mrs. Doran, befere going to the theatre, permitted him to go to bed. He lay down in his clothes, with the ex ception of his coat, and on the alarm of fire being given, he ran for the engine, and returning, got out a chest of drawers, which were carried up the street, he knew tea by whom. The testimony of this witness was corroborated by several others, as to the contents of the stores. It was also alleged that when the house was burnt down, the iron roof remained at least four feet from the ground and gradually sunk lower in'the course of the few fol lowing days. It was alleged, too, that the ground floor of the house was considerably lower than the street, and that the fire broke out several times in the course of the few succeeding days, so that, as was contended on the part of the plaintiff, there might have been vary con siderable remains of the goods claimed, which were slowly burnt away, and disappeared. Mr. MARTIN hating replied. His LORDSHIP summed up, leaving it to the jury to decide on the credibility of the several witnesses whose testimony it was impossible to reconcile. The verdict was finally returned for the defendant. By the death of Mr. Speer, one of the retired chief clerks of the Treasury, a pension of 1,7001. per annum is saved to the public.
