FOROIRT AT B11•11111T.—J. Terry, 38, was chewed
witk having, on the 26th of Sept.lest,at Beverley, feloniously
forged a certain acquittance, purporting to be the receipt of
one Reuben Clubley, with intent to defraud R. Bethel',
Esq., and other trustees of the East Riding Savings Bank, I
at Beverley. On the 25th of Sept. lest the prisoner went to
the Savings Bank, at Beverley, with the deposit book of a
person named Reuben Clubley, who had a deposit of 151. in
the bank. The prisoner, who represented himself as
Clubley, withdrew 11., which be received from the
acting manager of the bank. A receipt was drawn
up by the clerk, which the prisoner signed. The
prisoner, in defence, admitted receiving the money, but
that he was requested to go to the bank by Clisbley's mo-
ther, who gave him the deposit book for that purpose. He
herded over the mosey to Mrs. Clubley r. soon as it came
into his possession, and that he had no personal interest in
the matter. The prisoner cross-examined Clubley, and eli-
cited from him that he lodged with his mother ; that he on
several occasions left the boa open in which the deposit book
was kept ; and that his mother had easy access to it. The
clerk was also moss-examined by the prisoner, and he ad-
mitted that Clabley's mother, on a previous occasion, had
obtained money from the bank in hi r son's name.—From
the evidence adduced, it was evident that the prisoner had
my inadvertently become the tool of Clubley's mother, so
he did not appropriate the amount he received to hie own
um Quay, but recommended to mere? To be impri-
mod gad kept at bard labour for six months.
