William Woodecard was brought before the Lord Mayor
for further examinatim, charged with stealing 1001. in
Bank notes from a letter trae.mitted by the Dursley branch
of the National Provincial Bank a England 'o the prin-
cipal banking house of the establishmmt in Bishopsgate-
street.
Mr. Blain attended f.,r the prosecution, and Mr.
Humphreys, jun., attended for the prisoner.
James Grkenlaw stated that be was a elerk at the b: °king
office of the London and North Western Railway Omit-
pany at Euston-square, and that at about 20 minutes
before nine in the evening of the 6th of May last, a rerson
came to him and asked for a ticket to Leicester by the nine
o'clock train, and he tendered a 101. bank note in poyme, t.
The bank note for 101., numbered 51,726, produces:
R. A. Bally, from the Bank of England, I believe, is the
one tendered to me. I desired the person who brought the
note to write his name and address on it, which he
did. He wrote the name of Mitchell on the note,
with the address, No. 11, Gower-street. A porter was sent
with the note to the opposite station, and he brought back
the change, and witness then lcoked for the person who
gave him V.e note, and he was gone. That person had his
hat on. (The prisoner was desired to put on his bat.) the
witness then said—The prisoner is very much like the per-
son—veru indeed; the person was stooping at the time,
and did not appear so tall us the prisoner; but uitnes
believes the prisoner is the person. The note has not
been claimed by any one since.
On cross-examination the witness said:4 do not know

the person who brought me the note. I never saw him
before or since. The handwriting on the note produced
is very similar to that which was on the note I took. 1
believe the prisoner is the perm who gave me the 10/. note.
On re-examination the witness said—When Fjitated I had
not seen the prisoner before or since, I meant with th-: - a-
ception of the day. I am positive the address, N r. 11,
Guwerostreet, on the note, is the same address the prisoner
wrote on the hack of the note given to me.
Arthur Fraser, a clerk in the National Provincial Bank in
Bishopagate-street, stated that the prisoner was a clerk in
that bank, and that he believed the indorsement on the 101.
note produced, of the name cf " Frederick Mitchell, 14,
Gower-street," to be in the handwriting of the prisoner.
Witness did not know the handwriting of the indorsement co
the 20/. note produced by Mr. Daily.
