Sansh Welfare, a young ;;;;n: was charged, before
Mr. Jardine, with uttering a forged Bank of England note
for 101. _ _ _ _ _

One of the astistantsof Mews. Sewell and Co., the linen-
drepen, of Old Compton-street, proved that the prisoner
purchased a cloth mantle, and some other articles, on Sa-
turday afternoon last, in payment for which she tendered
the note. The goods purchased amounted to about 305.,
and a check for 51., with the balance in cash, was given her
in change. It was subsequently discovered that the 101.
note was a firgery—one of the many now in general circu-
lation, and almost defying detection by the skill with
which they have been executed. On Thursday night the
young man who served her with the goods saw the prisoner
walking in a neighbouring street, when be had been for
some time watching for her. He stopped her, and charged
her with having passed the note at his employer's shop.
She admitted the purchase of goods, and, indeed, was weer.
ing the mantle at the time; but she denied all knowledge of
the forgery, stating that the note was seat to her by a gen-
tleman at Birmingham.
It transpired that she was the companion of a young man
already in custody for uttering a counterfeit sovereign.
Mr. Jardine remanded her for further examination.
