ing him to the bank for manly, but I used to send him to pay
In money. Ile had awns to my cheque-book, and I find
that several cheques have been torn ant of it. The signa-
ture, "James Boyd, jun.," to the cheque produced for 451.,
is not mine nor wu it written by my authority. It is am-
markably ;trod imitation Tho No. 3,007 is the same num-
ber as my cheque-book. I did nut discover it until the officer
commumestpd with me.

D. May, the detective eilleer,said—From information which
I received I went to Glasgow, and saw the prisoner in the

showed him the cheque for 43/., and an unpaid cheque for

which I forged and paid to the bank end got money for. I

/tam the statement of Mr. Stebbord, an attorney, residing
in Albettaiquare, Mitcham, it appeared that ou the evening
of that day week ho gut on the defendant's omnibw, in
Graccvhurch-street. but in oonsequence of the vehicle loitering
he got off at the King William statue, and got on another.

paying him a faro fur tbo !hod distance he had been a pas.
eengcr on his omnibus, and refused to show his ticket or tell
Its number. _ .
