FORGERIES BY A COTTON SPINNER AT LIVERPOOL.
—We have stated that Mr. William Threlfall, cotton-spinner,
of the Addinghans 111 W Mills near Lofton Abbey, had been
apprehended a. the George hotel, in Liverpool, on a char. e
of forgery, which he is supposed to have committed to the
extent of several thousand pounds. After his apprehension
the prisoner was examined on Friday before Mr. Rushton
and remanded. On Saturday afternoon the prisoner was
again placed in the dock, and the court was crowded by mer-
chants and br.,kers' many of whom were person-
ally acquainted with the prisoner, and had recently
had transactions with him. Mr. Rushton said that
it was his intention merely to require that formal
proof which would justify the prisoner's detention.
He should then remand him, because it war impossible,
from the nature of the ease, that it could all be gone ante
that day. Mr. T. B Bourne was then called. He produced
a bill drawn by William Threlfall, dated the 16th of March,
1850, fur 2,0001. upon the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Com-
pany. He also produced a letter which he received endosing
the bill. In pursuance of the instructions contained in that
letter he got the bill discounted at the Bank of Liverpool,
and transmitted the money. In answer .to Mr. Aernall,
whams stated that be did Liti know prisoner IS be a partner I
is the Hull Flax and Cotton Mill Company. Mr. Langton,
of the Borough Bank, proved the discounting of
rear at the b•nk, and said that he had beet assured by
the acceptor that It was not genuine. Mr. Superintendent
Townson, examined by Mr. Rushton, stated that he bad
examined the carpet bon, and in it he found a
small black leather bag. In the small bag were the hand
stamps which he produced. He also found some red ink and
paint. One of the stamps contained the words " Old Flax
and Cotton Mill Company," and the other " Chief manager."
He bad looked at the bill of caching. produced, and he
believed it was stamped with the instrumean produced.—
Mr. Rushton then intimated that there wee ettllcient evi-
dence; to justify the detention of the prisoner, who was re-
manded until three o'clock in the afternoos.—Mr.ll•Manus,
the high constable of HuU, received a warrant in that town
on Friday, fur the apprehension of the prisoner on a charge
of committing this and other forgeries, bat on the arrival of
the Winer in this town, he found Mr. Threlfall already in
custody.—Litairpooi Albion.—Yesterday the prisoner was
*pis examined, and committed to take his trial at the nest
Liverpool senses. Mr. Rushton refused to admit tee prisoner
to bah. Then are various ramous in tows este the extent of
the forgeries, which are variously stated at from 20,0001. to
60,0001. lilt there is a desire to make as little as passible of
the ease, on the part of the authorities and the professional
geathnim amployed.
