The Bev. Llewellyniia;dl,iiir;nisto of East Modem,
wee brought up on remand on a charge of forgery. The pro-
seriatim was °abducted by Mr. G. Lewis, Jae. of Lewis and
Lewis, Ely-plies, It will be remembered that the prisoner
wore brought up originally on the let February, when he was
remanded for further examination, and in the interval he cut
his throat in prison. From the injury so inflicted on himself
he ma, until now, unable to be removed to the ,our t Whoa
placed in the dock the reverend • appeared to be
suffering from extreme debility. • was deadly pale, and
could with difficulty sustain himself by leaning upon the
bar. He was, therefore., accommodated with • seat in the
dock. The wounds in his neck were comealed by linen
handiest
Mr. Lewis stated that the prisoner was formerly a cunt!, to
the Rev. William George Jenii, incumbent of East Monkey.
On the death of that gentleman the prisoner's curacy cowed.
Subsequently he bad written to various persona representing
that be wee in bad health and in great distreM, and, in fact,
had beau living on the charitable outributions thus ob-
Seised. Amongst ahem he bad written to Mr. Ford, •
prebendary of Exeter, residing at Torquay, to whom, in
addition to asking charity for himself, he represented that
Mrs. Jervis, the widow of his late principal, was in great
distress. Mr. Ford forwarded to the prisoner a cheque for
51. for himself, and another to be handed over
to Mrs. Jervis. The prisoner, however, had appro-
priated the latter cheque, and in order to pt it cashed he
forged the name of Mrs. Jervis as an indorsement It would
also appear that the prisoner had been twice io custody for
felony, once for stealing • watch and once for stealing plate.
Evidence having been taken in support of the charge, the
prisoner admitted that he did not actually deliver the cheque
to Mrs. Jervis, but he sent it to her by poet. He should
reserve his oliservatioos on that charge till he had legal as-
'Llano*. With regard to the two charge. of felony, it wu
true he was convicted of one, but he woe acquitted of the
other on the ground of insanity ; and as the two occurred
about the mine time, it was clear that if one arose from
inanity so did the other.
The Rev. Mr. Mastyn requested it might be stated that
the prisener had not, as he represented, been connected
with the Poor Clergy Belief Society.
He was committed for trial.
