(No. 12.4.57.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW STREET. Yesterday, a A=rson of respectable appearance, who gave the name of John Roberts, was charged before Mr. HALLS, with having forged a promissory note for 1671. 55. ; purporting to be accepted by Baring, Brothers, and Co., of Bishopsgate-street, with intent to defraud Messrs. Manton and Co., the trunmakers. Mr. William Hudson was in partnership with Mr. John Manton, the gunmaker. On the 24th of last month, the prisoner came to their shop, and said he wanted a gun, such as his brother, Mr. Gore Langton, had had. Witness showed him several guns, one of which he selected. He then asked to see some pistols, and selected one pair for himself, and another he said he intended to present to his brother. He also took a fancy to a powder-maga z;ne of a curious construction, and asked what was the amcunt of the whole. Witness made out the bill, which amounted to 85/., and presented it to the prisoner, who observed that he always purchased for ready money. He then out his purse, and put it bank-note for 50/. on the counter, saying, he thought he had brought more money with him. "However," he observed, " I have got a bill here to which you car, have no objection. He then presented witness with the bill now produced, and of which the fol lowing is a copy 1— " 1671. ss. " London, July 3. " Two months after (lite pay to my order 1671. ss. for value received, and charge to account of " A. AIACKENZIE." " Accepted by Baring, Brothers, and Co., Bishopsgate-street, and directed to Messrs. Martin and Stone, Lombard-street." Mr. Hudson took this bill without the least suspi. cion, and gave the prisoner a checque on Sir W. Call and Co., the bankers, of Regent-street, for 82/. ss. being the difference between the amount of the articles purchased by the prisoner, and the bill which he presented to witness in payment. The rrisoner wanted to be paid a discount on the ground that the bill was as good as cash. Mr. William Hudson, jun. was son of the last witness, who directed him to take the bill produced to the bank of Messrs. Martin and Stone, of Lom bard -street, to know if the acceptance on it was that of Messrs. Baring. From what transpired there, witness took the bill to Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., of Bishopsgate-stree', and upon seeing John Baring, Esq., now present, that gentleman de clared the bill to be a forgery. Witness brought the bill back to the last witness, who wrote his name upon it. _ John Baring, Eq., one of the partners in the house of Baring, Brother,, and Co., ileclared that the acceptance on the bill was a forgery. A solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, asked Mr. Hudson, sen., if he could swear positively to the person of the prisoner. Mr. Hudson could swear to him out of ten thou sand, although he was differently dressed now to when he came to his 'hop. He then had on a brown frock coat, with a black velvet collar. Witness knew him immediately when he pointed him out to the rifil•er at Cambridge. Mr. C. Hollier, clerk in the house of Sir W. Cab and Co., produced the check for 821. 55., which Mr. Hudson had given to the prisoner. Witness re ceived the check from the prisoner on the 24th July, and paid him the amount in bank-notes, and 421. ss. in cash. Mr. Hudson stated, that a 51. note, part of those which the last witness had paid to the prisoner, had been traced to Mr. Parkyn, the lineudraper of Lud gate-hill, one of whose clerks was now present to prove that the prisoner passed the note at his em ployer's house in payment for a piece of linen. It appeared, however, that the note in question was lodged in the Bank, and consequently the evi dence of Mr. Parkyn's shopman was deferred until the note shall be produced. James Ellice is a Bow -street officer. From in formation he received, he went to Cambridge in pursuit of the prisoner, and first saw him in a room in a house situate in Tennis -court-road. Mr. Hudson was there alio. Witness took the prisoner into custody, and on searching him found a .5/. note on his person. The prisoner requested permission to go to his bed-room, and witness having accompanied him there, proceeded to search the room, and in a chest of drawers he found the brown frock coat now produced. Witness then searched the prisoner's trunk, and found in it a variety of articles which appeared to have been recently purchased. Amongst other things was a piece of linen. Witness also found in the trunk a batik note for 1001. and another for 501., together with a bill of parcels from Mr. Parkyn, Ludgate hill, made out in the name of the Rev. J. P. R o b erts. Witness produced the trunk in question, and th e pi ece o f l i nen was immediately recognized by Mr. Parkyn's shopman as the same which he had sold the prisoner, who passed himself as the Rev. Mr. Roberts. The officer stated, that the prisoner represented himself at Camb ri d ge as a C lergyman. Mr. HALLS told the prisoner that it would be his duty to remand him to a future day, and asked him if he swished to say any thing against it ? The prisoner, who from the moment he entered the dock, commenced reading a small pocket prayer book, from which he never raised his eyes durin g the examination, deliberately closed the book, and said, in a canting, puritanical tone of voice, " I am judged by man already, both in soul and body ; but (pointing to the book) my faith will be sufficient to carry me through mine enemies. Earthly judgment I have received ; but small is that judgment, com pared with the spiritual judgment of Him by whom the secrets of all hearts are known. Mine ene mies have been sent forth with swords and stares against me. I hope they will pursue me to the utter most, for I am doomed to persecution, but am ready to forgive even those who conspire against me." Mr. HALLs—Have you any thing else to say ? Prisoner—No. room, where the supper was laid, and found him and her husband engaged in a desperate fight. She went between them, and they struggled from one end of the room to the other, and she received a severe cut on the finger from the prisoner, who had a knife in his hand. Directly afterwards, the blood gushed from her husband's bead and body over her and the prisoner, and she ran to the door, which she opened, and called out " Murder." On turning round she saw a quantity of blood on both, and they appeared covered with it. She saw no more of her husband until she found hint at the doctor's, with his head tied up. Mr. BRODERIP —Was there any knife in your husband's hand when you first came down stairs? —The witness said there was not, but she saW the blood on her husband directly she entered the room. The witness, who was so weak from loss of blood that she was unable to stand, was then led out of the office. Henry Watts, a police sergeant, No. 21, K, stated, that he went to the house on hearing the cries of murder, and met the prisoner in the passage covered with blood. A short time afterwards, Presto❑ came down stairs, bleeding dreadfully from several deep wounds.on his head. The blood was running down him, and as he walked along he left the marks of his feet in it. He immediately gave the prisoner into custody of another officer, while he conveyed Preston to a surgeon, who dressed his wounds, and he was then conveyed to the hospital. There were no leSs than five wounds on his head, two of which were more than three inches in length, and the knife with which they had been inflicted appeared to have been drawn down the scalp,which was divided. He had also received two wounds on the body, one on the shoulder, an the other on the breast. Sergeant Watts here produced the shirt and trowsers of the wounded man, completely sa turated with blood. Mr. BRODERIP said, there was a perforation in the shirt, over that part which covers the shoulders, and the seam was divided. He had no doubt the wounded man had been stabbed there. Watts said he had, and referred the Magistrate's attention to another bole in the shirt, where the man had been stabbed. The wearing apparel and bonnet of Mrs. Preston were produced. They were also covered with blood, as if they had been sprinkled with a brush. Mr. BRODERIP said it was evident the blood had been sprinkled over the bonnet. A more horrible transaction he had never heard of. William Ledger, a police constable, No. 250, K , stated, that when he W:IS conveying the prisoner to the watchhouse, he voluntarily stated that he bad actually sharpened the knife before he had his sup per, for the purpose of committing the deed. James Forbes, No. 04, K, stated that he met the last witness and the prisoner, and asked them what was the matter; when Nowlan, who was quite col lected, said he had cut his brother-in-law with a knife, and repeated the words. Thomas Bailey Smith, a police sergeant, No. 4, K, said that he had had a conversation with the priso ner that morning, and asked him what knife he had cut Preston with, and he replied that it was a black handled knife he had been eating his supper with, and grasped it tightly in that manner, (the witness here suited the action to the word), and jobbed it against him back-handed. The prisoner held the knife while he said this. Two knives were produced; one was a common table knife, very sharp at the point, arid covered with blood. This was found in the room. The other was a case knife, which Clapson, No. 150, K, found in the prisoner's pocket. It was also covered with blood, and the point had been recently broken off. Mr. Francis Fagan, an inspector of the K divi sion, stated that when he went to the dwelling where the affray occurred, it appeared like a slaugh ter-house. The furniture, clothes, and every thing in the room, were covered with blood. There was also a good deal on the stairs and passage. The wounded man was in a very dangerous state, and it was supposed he could not survive many hours. The prisoner's wife had also received a severe wound in the hand from her husband, and had bled pro fusely. That morning he questioned the prisoner, and told him to be cautious, and that he should tell the Magistrate every thing he said, and write it down, and that he had no occasion to speak a word if he did not think proper. The prisoner then made the following statement, which he wrote down on a card :—" I was at my supper when Preston struck me, and I stabbed him several times with the knife I was cutting with. I might have cut my wife and sister-in-law with the same knife. It was a black handled knife. I was not drunk at the time it oc curred." Witness read this statement over to the prisoner, who said it was all true. Mr. Fagan here handed in the following certificate, and said the man had become much worse since it was signed:— " Londan Hospital, Aug. 13. " This is to certify, that Patrick Preston was admitted into this hospital this morning with several dangerous wounds on the scalp and body, and is now confined to his bed. " C. W. HAGUE, House Surgeon." Mr. BRODERIP called on the prisoner for his de fence, and said the charge on which he was atraigned was a capital offence, and the wounded man, it was probable, would not survive, and the case would be one of murder. lie cautioned the prisoner that every word he uttered would be taken down, and might be used in evidence against him, and after stating that, he would leave him to the exercise of his discretion. The prisoner admitted that he stabbed his bro ther-in-law, and cut him about the head with the knife; but said that he was first thrown down and nearly choked by Preston. Air. BRODERIP sa'd, that nothing could justify such a horrible use of a knife, which he regretted to state had lately become a common instrument of at tack and defence in that district, and was a most un- English weapon. This was a very bad case, and he remanded the prisoner until the fate of the wounded man is known. Mr. HALLS—Then let him be remanded until Thursday. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday William Nowlair, an Irishman, was brought before Mr. BRODERIP, charged with wil fully cutting and maiming Patrick Preston, his brother-in-law, with intent to murder him. He was also charged with cutting his wife and sister in-law. The prisoner, who is a mild-looking young man, on being first placed at the bar, was without either coat or waistcoat, and his shirt was covered with blood. The Magistrate directed him to be imme diately removed, and provided with a coat. Margaret Preston, the wife of the wounded man, stated, that her husband and the prisoner were tailors, and married to her and her sister. They and their families lived in the same house, in George street, Ratcliffe. On Sunday they all went to Greenwich, and returned home as comfortable as could be, and sat down to supper. Her husband and the prisoner wire both the worse for liquor, but not drunk. They had not been at supper long be fore her husband became very sick, from the effects of liquo r , and the prisoner held up his head whil e he v om i te d , an d t h en carr i e d hi m tip stairs to bed. Witness accompanied them, w ith her infant in her arms. The prisoner took off her husband, scoat, waistcoat, an d s h oes, b ut h e wou ld not allow him to take off his other things. The prisoner made use of some bad ex p ress i on towards her h us b a nd, which seemed to offend him, and he got away from the pr . - soner, and followed him down stairs to know what he meant. She remained in the room until she had put the baby to bed, and then:returned to Nowlan's . •! ,.. .4 - ,-., k6 '''.',4 ' ''".—.l...c't -,-,,,,.., = .--.„_., „4, .n ; 0 ,'' ' 1 # 4 ' ' 3 ' •-.---.....- - I ... , . .

The Stage Coach Duties Bill went through a Com mittee, and was reported without amendment. Third reading to-morrow. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from the merchants and inhabitants of the Islands of De merara, Essequibo, and Berbice, praying that the West India Relief Bill might not pass clogged with the clauses rendering it imperative on them to adopt the late Orders in Council. The Noble Duke had some observations to make upon this question, but as the Noble Secretary for the Colonies was not in his place, he would defer them for a short time.

On the suggestion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, it wa• arranged that the House should commence public butine , s at four o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, Aucusr 13. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at a Quarter past Five o'clock. Lord TEYNHANI presented a petition from Sir Wrn. Brabazon against the Tithe Composition Act. Toe Noble Lord said this Bill would never have any effect, for tithes would not again be paid in Ireland. If this Bill were passed, the collection of tithes would cost more than their value. - Tithes were a property, but they be longed to the nation—they 1114 been dealt with as such at the time of the Reformation, and he implored the Govern ment again to do so, and save Ireland from destruction. The Bishop of LONDON would not have said a word. had it not been for one expression used by the Noble Lord. If this Bill Would have no effect, why was it so opposed? Lord TEYNHAM—The only effect that the Bill would have, would be a baneful one—that was the im pression he meant to convey. The Earl of MEATH presented a petition, praying for an amelioration in the Criminal Laws. The Bishop of HEREFORD presented two petitions t , the same effect. TITHE COMPOSITION BILL. On the motion of the Marquis of LANDSDOWNE the Tithe Composition Bill was read a third time and passed, without comment. ASSESSED TAXES COMPOSITION ACT CON TINUATION BILL. Considered in Committee; to be read a third time to morrow. THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S BILL. Read a second time; committed for to-morrow. Several other Bills were forwarded a stage. PARTY PROCESSIONS PREVENTION BILL. Lord Viscount MELBOURNE rose to move th. second reading of this Bill. This was a short Bill, and would not require from him a very long state ment. Its object was to realise a legislative declaration of the illegality of party processions. They had for a long time been great subjects of complaint in Ireland, and in the northern part of that country have frequently given rise to serious alarm. They had defied all the attempts to discountenance and to discourage them. They had con tinued in spite of the good feelingof some of the inhabitants, in spite of the proclamations of the Lord Lieutenant, and had not unfnquently terminated in riot. With respect to all avernblages of the people in great numbers for the purpose of celebrating; former events, and tit commemorating the political tenets of former times, whether in this country or in any other, he was sure he should have the general concurrence of their Lord ships when he stated, that he always viewed them with the greatest sorrow and regret. They never confined them selves to their professed object, but under the pretence of commemorating past events, they were intended to serve the purposes of the present time—to intimidate, by a display of physical force—to overawe adversaries— to gain proselytes—were always the cause of alarm to the Government, and were always attended with more or less has and to the public peace. Whenever exhibitions of this nature confined themselves to partial or particular occa sions, perhaps the most prudent course was to leave them to themselves, but when they assumed such a per manent, fixed, and settled character as they had done in Ireland, when all the discouragement of the Government had only excited them to a more decided and determined display, it became the duty of the legislature to take mea sures to put a stop to them. It was under these circum stances that the Bill before the House was presented to their consideration. He disclaimed the idea of the Bill being intended to show any disrespect to the principles of the revolution, for it was not levelled against any particular class of his Majesty's subjects. It was a general Bill, intended for the preservation of property, the prevention of disunion, and the strengthening of the hands of the friends of order against those who would invade it. An objection, having some degree of weight, was urged to the Bill when brought into the House nearly two mouths ago. It was, Oat its being brought so near the 12th July, it would seem like tempting those who had been making preparations for the celebration of that (lay to disobey the Legislature, and there were many persons who declared that they would not object to the principle of the Bill, if it were brought in at another time. The Bill was accordingly suffered to lie over that period of excitement, and having afterwards passed the other House, waited their Lordships' approval. He begged to move that the Bill be read a second time. The Duke of WELLINGTON said he did not rise for the purpose of opposing the Bill, but be wished it had gone a step further and embraced all processions of all de scriptions of persons, as well Protestants as Catholics. He wished so the more, because he understood that some Noble Friends of his, as - well as several Members of the other House, had a belief the Bill would not be insisted on this session. Under those circumstances, he lamented that the 811 was proceeded in this session. There would be ample time early in next session to bring in a Bill to meet all processions, but at present it had the appearance of sur prise upon the House, many Members of which were ab sent. Ile was afraid that the wording of the Bill was not sufficiently comprehensive to include all he wished. He was old enough to remember seeing processions of all classes and of all religious denominations in Ireland, but such processions could not be expected ever again to take place. They were however carried on peaceably and with perfect good will. He perfectly concurred with the Noble Lord as to the feelings attending such meetings, and recollected when lie was connected with the Government of Ireland, a proclamation was issued to prohibit them, in consequence of their tendency to disturb the public peace. Under these circumstances, he could not take any decided course of opposition to the Bill. He thought, however, that it its provisions were. extended, it would prove very bene ficial. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was happy to hear the Noble Duke approve of the principle of the Bill, for he (tbs Marquis of Lansdowne) well remembered the laud able efforts made by that Government of Ireland, of which the Noble Duke was a Member, to put down those processions. If he (the Noble Marquis) could entertain any notion that the Bill was directed against only one class of persons or processions, he would he happy to unite with the Noble Duke in requesting his Noble Friend (Lord Melbourne) to postpone it, for he was of opinion that nothing could be more unjust than to direct the powers of the Legislature against only one party or one class, and not going to the system—the very root of the evil. But it was notorious that many processions, however they might be connected with historical recollections or with any views towards Reform, had been directed against the peace of the country, and with hostility towards his Majesty's ►ub jects. But this Bill so far from being framed to meet one class of processions was as directly opposed to the illegal pro cessions of all religious processions, and all classes of per sons so meeting, as it was possible to be. The preamble stated, " Whereas great numbers of persons belong ing to different religious denominations," &c., and it enacted that any body of persons who met and paraded to celebrate any political event relating to religious distinc tions, &c., shall be deemed to have acted illegally._ The Bill, therefore, bore against all classes who engaged in the same obnoxious pursuit. It therefore became the House to pass this Bill, more peculiarly at this moment, when, in respect to those processions, there was compara tive tranquillity. As to the supposed notion that the Bill would not be pressed this session, he had the authority of the Secretory for Ireland to state that nothing which had passed justified such a supposition. The Marquis of WES TMEATH understoo 1 the Bill had been abandoned. He thought it would be taken to be a concession to the Catbolics, and as truckling to those who had rebellion in their hearts, and who were enemies to all social order. The Bill was then read a second time. GREEK CONVENTION BILL. Earl GREY rose to move the second reading of this Bill. He stated that a Convention had been entered into between the Three Powers who had interfered in the af liirs of Greece, and who, by this Convention, bad agreed to offer the throne of Gretce to a European Prince, and /guarantee a !flan, whi ch was to be nego c i a t e d f or th e purpse of enabling the executive there to carry on the duties of the Government. The object of the present Bill WAS to enable his Majesty to carry that Convention into effect, so far as he was concerned. He did not think it necessary for him to enter at any length into the discussion of the circumstances under which this Convention had `seen made; neither did he feel called on to say anything on the policy of the original interference. That interfe- rence had been made, and then the only question was, whether assistance should be given to the Greeks, and in what manner that assistance could he best afforded. He thought no one would deny that eftsr the part we had already take n in this matter, and of er the struggle which the Greeks had made on their own behalf; we were bound to do all we could for them, consistently with our own interests, and the faith we owed to our allies. The negotiations which had been entered into to place the present King of the Belgians on the throne of Greece had fated. He regretted that it had, because he thought that that Prince possessed every qnalification for the high station which had been then offered him. Look ing at all the circumstances of the case, he was convinc d that that was the best arrangement that could have be, n made, and be believed that all those who had had the best means of judging of that matter were of the same opinion. The some principle of policy which had originally induced the three Powers to attempt to place Prince Leopold on the throne of Greece, had induced these Powers to emote blish on the throne of that country, in conformity with the powers with which they had been invested, the Prince Otho of Bavaria. On a firmer occasion, he had beetd that the choice of the person was open to much objectioo. He admitted that it might be. oleeeted to the choice of Piirice Otho, that it was an undoubted disadvantage that a moor should be placid on the throne of that country. He admitted that en that account some oltjection might be urged, though he did not think that any strong objections would be put forward on the score of tl:e Prince's religion. If, however, there were, he could only say, that, taking all the circumstances into consideration, and looking round among all the Princes of Europe, he believed that this was the only choice left to the Allied Powers; for he did not know among the other Princes any one to whom equel if not superior objections might not he urged. Considering these things, he was induced to hope that the arrangement now made would prove beneficial. It was generally known, that from the beginning the King of B..varia had shown a particular interest in the struggle by which it was hoped that the Greeks would be rescued from the domination of the Turks, and that feeling became a strong recommends" tion to place on the Throne of the country one of his sons. It was agreed among the Allied Powers to offer the Throne to Prince Otho, and that offer bad been accepted. Fur the purpose of rendering eff ctuel u hat bad been done, this Convention was made. The object of this Bill was to enable his Majesty to give the guarantee of this country to a loan to be raised for the Government of Greece. Every one must be aware that a Governmsnt could not be established in Greece without such an assist ance. The loan was proposed to be recognised on the same terms as had been proposed by the former Administration. The loan proposed was 60,000,000 of livres, to be equally divided between the three Powers., each of which was tai be liable only for its own quota. This sum was to be ad vanced by instalments, with securities upon the revenues of the country for the payment of the interest, and for the accumulation of a sinking fund to discharge the principal itself. If the interest on the first instalment were not p tid, its amount was to be deducted from the second instalment whenever that should come to be demanded. He believed, that if the Government were once settled, there would be no difficulty whatever in its finding a perfect adequacy of funds to meet these engagemears. If, however, it at ould net be able to do so, all that Great Britain would r,nder herself fields to pay would be a sum of 800,0001. He thought that under all the circumstances this country would not hesitate to take upon herself the possibility of such a burden. By the arrangement now entered into, Volo and Arta were made the boundaries of the Greek Empire, and for that a compensation of 500,0001. was to be given to the Turkish Government. That arrangement was, he was happy to say, effected to the complete satis. faction of the Turks. Under these circumstances, he trusted that the House would allow the Bill to be read a mond time. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that he felt this was not the time for discussing the question of Greece, and of the policy to be pursued with respect to it, though he doubted whether it would be beneficial to the commerce of England ; but be could not help expressing his feeling that there so ere some objections to one part of the arrangement. On a former discussion, a Noble Friend of his had stated the objections hich existed to the choice of Prince Otho, and he believed it would appear that in the course of the Protocols it was determined that in case the Prinee selected should not be approve& by this country, we were not bound to assist in making the ad vancee; but as soon as he was approved of by the Go vernment, be admitted that the engagement was binding on us. Under these circumstances he had nothing to say against the present Bill, now that the selection of the Prince was approved of. One part of the pipers to which lie wished to call the attention of their Lordships was, what he thought to be an oversight of the Noble Earl.— By one of the articles of the convention, the King of Ba varia was to raise in Bavaria 3,000 troops, that were to be paid by the Greek State, and were to be sent to re lieve the troops now in Greece, which troops were in the mean time to rennin at the disposal of the King of Greece. A protest had been entered against this article, declaring on behalf of France, that it was conceived in terms in which the true meaning could not be meant to be expressed, for that it never could be meant that French troops were to be at the disposal of a King of Greece, and that it was only the intention of the allies to sanction ar rangements that the King of the Fiend) might enter into with the King of Greece on the subject of those troops.— From that protest he inferred that it was the intention of the King of the French to enter into a separate treaty from his allies with respect to the French troops. The protest was against the terms of the protocol of the al of February, 1830, by which no troops of any foreign power should be allowed to enter the Greek State without the con , ent of all the other powers. Its was sure that no miserable quibbling would be used as to the word "enter," and if that was the case, he thought some alteration was required in the arrangements, for Noble Lords must see that the protest of the King of the French was opposed to the spirit of the protocols. Earl GREY thought that this arrangement and set tlement of the new State would be an advantage to the commerce of this country. That objection, however, if made at all, ought to have been made on the question of the separation from Turkey. That separation having taken place, it must be agreed that such a boundary should be given to the new State, as would prevent future collisions on that subject. The protest of the French Mi nister was, as it appeared to him, a mere matter of form. By the literal interpretation of one of the articles of the convention, it appeared that the foreign troops now in Greece, which were, as every body knew, French troops, were to be at the disposal of the King of Bavaria. Such a right to command French troops there bad been no intention to confer; and the protest was only a saving of the honour of France, that her troops should be under the direction and management of her own lawful authorities. It was intended, in fact, that on the arrival of the Bay t rian troops, the French troops should evacuate the coun• try, which he was sure they would do with the most per fect good faith. The substance of the convention was satisfactory to all parties, and this protest had only been put in to save the French honour. The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. MAR Y LEB ONE. Yesterday, George Heavens was fully and finally examined on the charge of wtering two bills of ex change on Messrs. Whittaker, Treacher, and Arnot, booksellers, in Ave-Maria-lane, Paternoster-row, purporting to be their acceptances. Mr. John Lindsey, the prosecutor, is living at No. 27, Earl-street, \Vest, where the prisoner came to lodge in March last, and getting into arrears, he was pressed for payment of his rent, when he tendered a bill at three months, dated the 2d of May, 1832, for 15/. Is. Gd., payable at Masterman's and Co. Wit ness got the bill discounted by Mr. Hodgson, of New Church -street, Marylebone, deducting ss. for interest, and 71. 2s. Gd. far rent, having no doubt of the validity of the bill; since which the prisoner bad left the prosecutor's house by warning. Still he re lied on the bill till the very day it was returned back, as the prisoner had assured him that it was upon a very respectable house in the city, im Ave- Maria-lane. Mr. RAWLINSON—You are quite certain, are you, that the prisonrr said it was upon Whittaker's, In Ave-Maria-lane ? Prosecutor—l am, Sir, for other wi,e I should not have taken it. I jWilliam Jones (S. 122) t ad found no less than 14 duplicates on the prisoner, and another bill pre paring for the market. Mr. RAWLINSON here cawioned the prisoner not to prejudice his case by siOng much. Heavens said nothing, a , :d he was fully committed to Newgute. CHOLERA. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid upon the table of the House Orders in Council issued under the Cholera Prevention Act. FORGERY BILL. On the Report of this Bill being brought up, The Earl of ROSSLYN said, that in the absence of his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Wynford) he bad to move an amendment, which would have the effect of ex cluding from the operation of the Bill the forgery of will:, testaments, codicils, or testamentary writings, with a view to defraud any person whatsoever, or powers of attorney for the transfer of stock, or for the receipt of interest of stuck. The Noble Earl having read his amendment, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the opinion he bad expressed Last night remained unaltered. The reason and the ground on which he voted in the other House of Par- liament was principally taken in the ease of forged nego tiable securities. The immense amount of money con stantly pa , sing by means of cheques on bankers, to the amount of millions in the year, arid the risk to which that property was exposed, were the principal reasons why the punishment of death was so long continued by the other House of Parliament in regard to those se curities, but those reasons did not apply to the cases of forged bills and powers of attorney. In cases of cheques, one person at once could accomplish the forgery and pro bably escape, whereas in cases of forged wills, a person did not obtain the money at once, but went to the proctors, frt quently thereby leaving plenty of oppor tunities for suspicion and detection. It was, in fact, almost impossible to carry into effect a forged will, unless there was a conspiracy between several persons, all of whom must be conversant of what was going forward. In his opinion, therefore, if there was any one case in which the punishment of death ought to be continued, it was in the case of negotiable securities, and if there was any one case from which the punishment of death might be taken away, it was in cases of wills and powers of attorney. He admitted that there was a distinction between wills and powers of attorney, but not such a distinction as to take either out of the line of his argument. He was, therefore, against the introduction of the proposed clause ; but if he found the House wished that it should be carried, he would not propose it. The Bishop of HEREFORD expressed his opinion against the exceptions. He was strongly opposed to the taking away any protection to property from the mercan tile part of the community ; hut after the speeches of last night, and the speeches of the Noble and Learned Lord to night, and looking at the number of petitions proving the reluctance of many persons to prosecute under the present law, he thought that the punishment of death for all offences against property should be abolished. Earl GREY said, if the clause would deprive persons of the security they otherwise possessed, he would not be in favour of it, but his conviction was, that in cases of will and powers of attorney there was not that reluctance on the part of the public to prosecute that there was in other cases. It was admitted the crime was one of great enormity; indeed, forging bills and powers of attorney had the effect of ruin ing whole families, anti therefore he thought those offences required a stronger operation of the law. It was stated last night as a proof of the public feeling against capital punishments, that a great deal of sympathy was felt in the case of Fauntleroy. He (Lord Grey) certainly, averse as be was to the shedding of blood, felt no such sympathy, for considering the magnitude of his crime, and the ruin he had entailed on others, if ever a man deserved his punishment it was that man. That also he believed to have been the opinion of many others. He had heard of cases of morbid sympathy towards other great criminals, such for instance as was shewn• towards Thurtell, but that would not induce him to alter his opinion. Under these circumstances, he was in favour of the clause, and it it should be found hereafter to be ineffectual, it would always be in the power of the House to alter it, and give, by the certainty of punishment, a better security to property. . - The LORD CHANCELLOR, with the permission of their Lordships, must s iv, with respect to what had been stated by his Noble Friend, that he did not state that that species of forgery, which had been referred to, was of often and frequent occurrence; but that it was not of that FORGERY. PlP'43tr3erdi4al hada on on The LORD CHANCELLOR paid, he thought it ne cheasds a b r e y en briefly t to to e t z h i e d i a r i nLotrhdes Lordships f o r d o s m oi th w e h o ic th h er thi H s . B us il e l of Parliament. 'Whatever was the original intent of the laws against forgery, it had of late years become abund antly evident that they did not operate to produce the in - tended effect. Instead of an effectual punishment, they had become a mere statutory regulation. He was oki enough to remember the time when it was a maxim that forgery was never pardoned ; that when di=covered, and the offender convicted, the offence was universally followed by the punishment of death. The reverse of that maxim was now the rule of public conduct. Offenders, when convicted, were not punished. In the first place, how ever, there must be fewer convictions, for the people were unwilling to convict. It was said, too, that juries were unwilling to convict. He thought that wes a mis take;. however unwillingly, juries strictly performed their duty when the cases were laid before them; but he be lieved most fully that persons injured were unwilling to prosecute. But when prosecutors had a juries had convicted, what was the result?
