EXTENSIVE FORGERY BY A TIMBER MERCHANT
AT Mainviimaix—Mr. Henry Elliott, who has been carry.
jag on the business of a timber merchant at Maideninad,
on a large scale, was brought up on Monday last, before
the Mayor of Maiilenhead and J. Higgs, Req., by Mr:
Superintendent Sexton, charged with having on the 9th of
July forged an acceptance for 143/. with intent to defraud
Mow.. Stephens, ltlaaly, and Co., bankers, of Reuling
and Maidenhead. The acceptimea purported to ho of Thos.
Rogers and Suns, ironfoundors and timber merchants, of
Watford, Herts, Mr. Morris, the manager of the Maiden-
heel brunch of Mesas. Stephens. bank, gave evidence as
to the discounting of the bill for the prisoner, who brought
it to the bank himself. Mr. Rogers proved that the signa-
ture was not his, ..n.l he knew nothing about it. He once
had a Waimea transacting' with the prisoner, which was
settled, and he produced the receipts. The primoner was
further charged with forging an acceptance for 731. of
George Ell, a ladder and wheelbarrow nicker, carrying on
Waimea at 179 and IW, Etudou.road, London. Evidence,
of a similar nature to that in the last case haring been
given, the bench committed the prisoner for trial at the
next asaiscs on the above charges ; and be was remanded
until Monday next on a charge of forging another acceptance
of George Ell fur 611., in consequence of the absence of a
material witness.

just decided to recommend to the propirletors • dividend on

at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum.
A Cowitosi LARCENY.—Five or six times within
the last nine years I have listened to sermons in which there
was not merely a manifest appropriation of thoughts which
the preacher had never digested or mails his own, but
which were stolen word for word ; and I have been told by
friends iu whom I have implicit confidence of fasteners
twice five or six. Generally, this dishonesty Is practised
by frightful blockheads, whose sole object perhaps is to get
decent) y through a task for which they feel themselves
unfit ; hut it is much more irritating to find men of con-
siderable talent,and of more considemblepopularity,practis-
ing it to a very gyms degree. And it is curious how such dis-
honest persons gala in hardihood as they go oa. Either
Leanne they really weave detection, or because no one
tells them that they have been detected, they come at
length to parade themselves in their swindled finery
upon
thehe liar iwCbil!cas told. star"; sobelieve
lon that
he has corn* to believe it at drat, there are per
sons who have stolen the thoughts of others so often and so.
long, that they hardly remember that they are thieves.
Mal in two or three cases in which I put the matter to the
proof, by speaking to the thief of the characteristics of the
stolen composition, I found him quite prepared to carry oat
his roguery to the utmost, by talking of the trouble it had
cost him to write Dr. Newman's or Mr. Logan's dioxins°.
" quite • simple matter—no trouble ; scribbled oft on
FkitunLiy afternoon," said, in my hearing, a man who
hal preached an elaborate sermon by an eminent Anglian
divine. The reply was irresistible:—" Well, If it cost von
little trouble, I sum sure it cost Mr. Melvin • peat &eh"—
