Pomeroy, his wife, were charged with being in poems* of
counterfeit coin and coining Implements, at 18, Little Warmer-
Street, Clerkenwell.
Mr. Pollard, from the office oaths solicitor of the Treeemy.
=d for the prosecution, and Mr. Pater, barrister, for the
of the res.
Mr. James Brannan said—l live at 39, Itheinor-Mast, St.
Lakes. I was formerly an inspector of police of the
division. Oa Tuesday, the 13th Dec. inst., about 3 o'clock
la the afternoon, in aonsequence of information received and
direetioes given me, I proceeded to No. 18, Little Warne/r-
-etreat, Clerkenwsl, accompanied by Inspector Bryon;
division, and a number of other constables. The wrest-
door was open, and we went upstairs to the first floor beck,
the door of which I forced open. When I entered the room
I saw the female prisoner sitting before a dear bries Selz
and she drew her right hand from a bag which wee
by the side of the fire. I saw the bag swinging. She pat
her left hand towards the fire, on which was an hen spoon
with molten maul in it. I took the (stale primer
by the shoulders and pulled her away from the fire. and gave
her into the custody of Inspector Bryant. Whoa the
female prisoner saw me, she said, "Oh:I Mr. Brannan ;" end
I said, ' You see, Mrs. Pomeroy, we has come to pay you
a visit." In answer to that the kneels prisoner said
" Wall, Mr. Brennen, I cannot help it. I am driven to
You hate known me since I was a little gul." And
then she said, "Jos" meaning her husband, "has driven se
to it, and also my little girl too, that is new at Colney Hatch
Asylum. I never knew how to make it until he taught me,
before I wee married." She then called to s little boy in the
next room to go and fetch her husband from a beer-shop op-
posite. I then instructed Sergeant Brannan to 'apprehend
, the male prisoner. I then proceeded to search the room, and
in the beg before alluded to I fated a plaster of Paris
mould for making sixpence., and which was quite hot. On
the table I found three counterfeit thrpenothwnich were hot,
a gales% batten a jar containing strati amid, a small fills
with white metal in the teeth, a knife with plaster of Paris
sdharbeg to it, end a piece of cloth castle in the form of a pad,
and quite hot. In a cupboard in the room I found a galvanic
battery plate, a piece of glass which was greasy, and with
pleater of Paris adhering to it, three pieces of copper wire,
which appeared to have been dipped in some strong acid min-
tics, some pleater of Parte in powder, two tins conteintng a
composition for darkening the counterfeit coin, and a bottle
°staining strong acid. At that time the aisle rinser was
brought to the room by Sergeant Brannae, and be (the
male prisoner) said to me, "Hallos, Mr. Brennen,
what are you doing in my room l'" I geld,
" Joe, I have had instructions from the authorities of the
Mint to pav you a visit." He old, " You know I wee
acquitted the last." I said, " Whether you ought to have
been is another thing, for you have had a pretty long TIM"
He replied, " You were never clever enough to get me to
rights." I said, "It you are not to rights now, as you sail
It, you may be eases day." He the made a rush at the
table on which I had pieced the articles I had hued, but he
wespulled back and taken to the landing, where he wee
searched by Sergeants Beans and Brannan. He then said,
"1 could be ca my oath I have not been in here since a little
before one to-day: I now produce all the articles I have
'pekoe of.
Some evidence having bees given by other allows,
Pelice-constatile Elliott, 104 0, said—While the two pi-
toners were in the welting-room of the court, I heard the
male prisoner say to his wife in a low toes of sloe, " When
you go inside, tell the magistrate you had no
money when I went out, and that the worse In the adjoin-
iag room lent you the money to get the things, and that will
get me oat of it." I then sold, ' I have hand what you
basher saying to your wife, and I shall tell the megtetrate
when Igo held.." He said I could say what I
The (tole then took me aside and asks to me ; but sated
her if she wished her husband Mims She said " Yes." I
this called the male prisoner, sad the bale ties I
do not as oily I should beer the blame all myself • he was
doing it two years before I mended hint and be List me."
The male prawns then mid to her, " Yon am. a liar."
She replied, " You know ft is true; you have told me to do
them, and many a time you has knocked me down when I
have not had them ready for you." The mete prisoner war
then about to advance to the female, when I got between
them, fearing he would strike her.
The prisoners said they should reserve their defence.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fully cianmitted the prisoners to the Central
Criminal Court for trial.
