CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
(Bdoro Mr. Baron WalKe.)

Imes Baandow, 23, deooribel as as aunt, wu charged
with foleniticely fergics an acceptance to a bill of exchange
for MI. 160., with intent to derand.

promcutors of cement were Mann Whitener
and Co. Wins and mechinists, in St. John-street, Clerks:n:l-
well, and It a that in consequence of a communicabon
that was made to theaqier. Whitton, jun., went to a
house ha the Lough -road, Brieton, where be saw
the prisoner who told that he desired to purchaes
some articles of cut and plated goods, and owed
that he was a of fortune, and portend
an watts at est Thorpe, in Suffolk, which
was managed byes @gent, who transmitted hiss his rents,
upon which he lived independent. The prima" sabot-
gangly selected_ geode to she amount of 601., end he then
said that he should not realm any mossy until January,
.d therefore could not pay until then, end be at the mane
time produced a bill of exchange for 2081. Ida, which he
said had been sent to him by his agent u the prier of some
hay that had been sold to a neighbouring fanner, and he
wished the prosecutor to take this bill as payment of the
goods and give him a cheque for the difference. The bill
was dated the 16th at December, payable in two months,
and was addressed to Mr. W. 8. Orimwood, the 112,1 n
Penn, West Thorpe, Suffolk, and purported to be
by that person; and Yr. Whittner told the pprrutwwnner that the
bill, upon inquiry, turned out to be a mtpfaetory inatrnment,
ho should have no objection to give him the ditletesce. The
prisoner that handed the proesentor the bill, and apes in-
got:les being mole, it turned out that them was no such per-
ms as W. a. Orienwood residing at the Rookery Farm, at
West Thorpe, and that there was no owner of lend is the

peered to Ids that the primmer meld not be consbud
of the amen of forgery. upon the facts that appeared in
evidence. It was undoub•dly a forgery to sign the name of
a non-existeat pore. to a bill t f exchange, but 12. re it wee
proved that there was such a {moo me William Scott Orin-
wood, who had formerly lived at Writ Thorpe, and there was
no evdknee that the &evidence to the bi I waa sot genuine.
A very vesndakius freed was probably intend d to be com-
mitted, bet that was not the charge made *genet the pri-
mer. The offense imputed ti him we. Leavy, and it ap-
peared to him that the er dente would not support that
charge.
The Jury, under hit lordship's di•ection, returned a ver-
dict of Not Gerifty.
The prisoner we. the. charged upon a second indictment
with the Ohara of siederwessioar in haring unlawfully at-
tain_ ptsd to obtain goods by means of false preteens.
The evidence in this cam was the same ee in the but, and
Yr. Whitmore stated that he we educed to agree to let the
Oman have the goods by his representation that he was a
man of fortune, and that he pommel an mute at the place
mentioned in Suffolk.

Mr. Baron Watson having summed up, the jay ;mine-
dasely returned a verdict of Guilty.
The learned judge, in passing sentence, said the evidence
bed clearly established the offence of which the Firmer wee
amused, and there was very little doubt that be wee well
practised in frauds of this description. Tradesmen, be mid,
male be protected from such proomatinge, and m a wartibm

cemadmica of the murder.
